Which laptop should be purchased from this list

[Ajay2423]

Dear Digit Community, I need your help regarding my purchase and some expert advice is needed.

It is the first time I am posting on this forum and I look for help with choosing between seven laptop configurations. Price is not an issue. Also, I don't need a super laptop. I need one that fulfill my requirement without any lag. The order stated below reflects my preference so far:

1. Precision 3520 - custom build
2. Inspiron 15 7000
3. Inspiron 15 5000 (5570)
4. Precision 5520
5. XPS 15
   
6. XPS 13, 6500U ultrabook
   
7. XPS 15, i7-7700HQ

My basic requirements for laptop are as follows

• i7 processor
• 8 GB RAM
• Windows 10 operating system
• 13 to 15 inch screen display
• Light weight and slimmer in body
• Touchscreen can be an advantage
• Quality graphics
• Should have a LAN Port
• Storage is not an issue, still 250GB is minimum requirement

Problems faced so far

- Coil whine, unnecessary sound through cables while using my old HP laptop. Main reason for opting dell laptop.
- low battery performance
- Hangs while using apps like Catia, Youwave etc.
- Heavy weight

New suggestions are also welcome.

Do fill the questionnaire: Questionnaire for laptop/notebook purchase

The thing which holds most laptops back is the 5400 rpm HDD. A SATA SSD can improve the performance of even a i5 7200U laptop by a lot.

Putting that aside, among them XPS 15 seems a great choice if you occasionally play games too.

If you don't need a good GPU, you can buy XPS 13 with 8th gen i5 for a lighter device with better battery life or this one:
