How about a Thinkpad Carbon X1 ? http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-carbon/ you can customize it to have 16gb ram and with 512gb ssd. keep in mind with this particular system the Ram is integrated into the mainboard so you would wanna buy the biggest config for ram , however the ssd is an M2 drive so you could go with the stock drive and perhpas find a cheaper 512 m2 drive to pop in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 doginpants Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I think the ASUS Zenbook Pro UX501VW would probably work really well. Has a quad core i7 instead of a low power i7, can get 16 gb ddr4, up to 4k screen, made of aluminium, and lastly can get a 512 gb ssd.

0 Tech Inferno Fan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Try a 15" HP ZBook G3 Studio. i7-quad power with an innovative cooling mesh as it's base. Has 2xTB3 ports too http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1209893-REG/hp_t6e17ut_aba_15_6_zbook_studio_g3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 god1729 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 You haven't mentioned the primary use case, makes it easier to recommend. Based on the requirements either the precision 5510 or the zbook studio G3. Sent from my Micromax AQ4501 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
