Dell XPS 14 (9450)

The XPS 14 splits the difference between the 13 and the 16, and for many people it is the right compromise. You get a discrete RTX GPU option and a 14.5-inch panel in a chassis that still fits a standard bag. The OLED configuration is the one worth paying for if colour work is part of your job. Thermals are competent rather than exceptional — it will sustain a long export, just not silently. Three Thunderbolt ports and a microSD reader improve on the 13's austerity. Sensible for photo and light video editors who travel.
