I am looking for a potential replacement laptop. I run a lot of VMs and other programs and would like an upgrade from my current system's 8GB maxxed out RAM... I'm hoping for at least 16 GB, if not more (but if forced, I'd even settle for 12 GB).
I also want quad high def (QHD? QHD+?), but here is the kicker: I do NOT want dedicated graphics. I don't want Nvidia or AMD, unless the AMD chip is an APU (and I am guessing the market is quite thin for high performance AMD systems with QHD). I don't do graphics or games, and I don't need the battery hit or the heat or the inevitable damage the system will take in 2 years when the integrated begins to fail outside of warranty...
I'd love an XPS 13, but they max out at 8 GB RAM, and it isn't clear to me that you can get both QHD and Intel integrated graphics.
I wouldn't mind an XPS 15 with the infinity display, but again, I can't seem to find one without discrete GPUs.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Here is to hoping the Surface 4 has USB C charging and 16 gig RAM option...
