cheap or durable, choose either 1
Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R0CS/R2YE +RAM
R630 isn't that good either
What's your usage? Laptop model?
My usage 80% Work/movie/browsing and 20% gaming (only dota 2)
The one I'm mentioning is Lenovo ThinkBook 13/14S-IML (Customizable). I'm not sure throwing a 16GB RAM using intel UHD alone is better than getting another graphic card. cons are single channel RAM, and that's pretty much about it. pros over the below is reliability and better heat management. With a price around 3.5k-ish
Another product im thinking about is HP ENVY X360 - 13-ar0123au. I don't really like the design but the specs are somehow magnificent. Cons are the infamous thermal/heat management issue and some outdated driver issue. pros over the lenovo is touch screen. price also around 3.5k
Key difference between these two are of course the processor and graphic cards which I have no further opinion about it.
For me good hardware specs doesn't mean anything if it does not orchestrates well with the software collectively (such as drivers etc). Simple analogy is how apple manage to make good user experience product without having to throw in a lot high-end hardware spec because their hardware and software sync up pretty well.
