I will be needing a laptop soon. It will be for general browsing, streaming and video playback (1080p mkv) I would also like the option of hooking up a 4k monitor @ 60hz at some stage. Here is a list of things I would like:

$1100 or under
low heat
good battery life
ips 1080p matte black screen/ acceptable color gamut/brightness, 13.3inch or larger
dedicated gdrr5 video card
light < 1.8 grams/smallish, I could compromise, somewhat.
usb-c (for 4k monitor @ 60hz)
skylake/kabylake i5/i7 minimum
decent keyboard/trackpad
no mechanical HDD/DVD

Thanks.

  Don't compromise, get a kensington lock and attach it to the notebook, in case of a windy day. 😁

  Thinkpad E570p is your best bet. Not light though. Will have GTX 1050Ti.

  Also see Xiaomi Mi Book 13, but it'll only have a 940MX GPU.

    I will check out the Thinkpad. The Xiaomi looked good, but the screen would be too reflective, and it gets hot.
