Laptop Recomendation

Hi,

I am looking for a Laptop for business use (not gaming) with the below preferred specs:

Intel i7 8th generation processor
16GB or Ram (32 GB ideal)
SDD drive 1TB
15.6 inch screen (preferably 4K)
and now the tricky part : minimum 8 hours of battery life

Do any of these laptops with such high specs have such a good battery life?

What business uses/software need more than 16gb RAM?

Does this software also benefit from a dedicated GPU?

Why the 4k screen? They're a bit wasted on such small screens unless you have very specific uses for them.

What's the budget for the system?

I have to run systems that run on servers. 16GB of ram would be fine but I need the capacity to be at 32 GB. Dedicated GPU does not make much of a difference. 4K is also still not a must. My budget is about 1500 Euros excluding VAT. I saw there are different configurations around this price

You mean you need to host the servers? On a laptop?!

I need to run Business software which usually runs on servers for testing purposes (locally on my laptop)

Ah, but presumably with not many clients (since it's for testing)? I don't see why that should need 32GB of RAM, though it depends on the application of course. :)

And +1 on the 4k issue. I simply do not believe that the human eye can see 4k resolution on a 15.6" screen.
 
I regularly go above 16gb. A tonne of chrome windows, a few node processes. Let's not get hung up on the fact you dont think he needs 16gb of ram :)

He's asking for help and advice, and 32GB is a waste of money for the overwhelming majority of users, there is no point in buying more RAM than you need. The choice is of course his, but I (we) would be doing him no favours by not asking why. :)

1) you're not the OP, your uses may be different

2) with an attitude like that it's probably just as well as you'd not be getting much advice trying to dismiss what people trying to help have to say :)
