After a lengthy search of reviews, I've finally decided to go for a ThinkPad. The only thing that's left now is, which one. DELL XPS 13 comes close to a contender but I don't know if I want another XPS.
Current laptop:
DELL XPS 15 9570 (Aug 2018)
i7 8th Gen
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
1050ti
FHD
1.8kg (2.2kg with charger)
Usage Summary: Full Google Suite, Full MS Office, light apps like Telegram/Whatsapp/Discord/Zoom/Teams
Pros
- Pretty
- Gaming is okay - can play at low settings or med (games I played)
- Work stuff so far a breeze, never had a problem
Cons
- It's underutilized, I don't do video/image processing, no heavy software
- Bought it because thought I'd work + game on it (I no longer play games anymore)
- It's heavy
- Battery only lasts 4 hours+
- Freaking chin cam >:(
What I needed my ThinkPad to be (by priority):
1) Form factor - Tiny, thin, GREAT keyboard, super light, even with the charger (even better when it can be charged via USB-C so I don't even need to carry the charger around)
2) All-day battery, this is very important
3) I want it to look nice and sleek also la
4) Gonna last me very long, is 5 years a stretch too long?
5) I don't mind the price tag as long as the price justifies my needs, but I don't want to be an idiot who'd simply buy
ThinkPad has so many variants until I don't even know which series I should take. I have eyes on X1 Carbon, also thought if I should wait for X1 Nano...but it seems like other series are formidable too.
Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance.
