Question for the Tech people

[Rick Sanchez]

I am in the market for a new laptop, my functions are primarily work as well as programming, video editing/rendering/and some light gaming when I can fit it in, which is slim to none. I'm looking for a 15 inch laptop, I've been currently peaking at the following and looking for any opinions or feedback on anybody that has or currently uses one of these.


Gigabyte Aero 15x
Dell XPS 15
Razer Blade 15 (it looks a bit gamery)
MSI GS65 (not as bad as the razer blade)
Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme

Work is giving me a budget of 2,000 usd to work with, I'd be willing to throw in a couple hundred bucks if it meant I could get something on the line. Any input is welcomed, thanks guys/gals.
