Light Work Notebook with Matte Screen and Thunderbolt 3

Hi, I'm looking for a light notebook, mostly to use for work, with a matte screen and Thunderbolt 3 ports. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 seems to fit the bill but it's a bit too expensive, and I don't really need it to be ultraportable. Are there any good, less expensive alternatives available? Cheers

    I think unfortunately if you are looking at something light and having TB3 you're stuck in the Dell XPS / Thinkpad X1 price territory.

    I believe the recent Thinkpad T480 deal (here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lenovo-T480-14-Core-i7-Notebook-…) fits the bill in terms of affordability, matte screen and TB3, but I wouldn't exactly call 1.63kg "light".

      Thanks, I might need to compromise on the weigh then..

        Yeah, if you're able to live with the high weight the T480 is a tough workhorse that will last you many years. The thing's heavy for a reason and can take quite a beating while still running silent and cool.
