    Thinnest 15" Notebook 2+ TB SSD Drive?

    Looking for the thinnest 15" PC notebook upgradable to an SSD of 2 or more TB with good performance. Price isn't really a consideration as long as it's under $4k. Bonus points for built in VGA and HDMI ports.

    Does anyone know of any new thin laptops that might fit these specs.

    How thin? Those aren't unreasonable things to look for but super thin laptops will likely not use 2.5" form factor drives and I'm not aware of m.2 drives in 2tb size in laptops yet.

    Plus, hdmi ports are usually axed on thinner laptops.

      I don't know of any 2tb m.2 laptops but I'm willing to replace a 256gb SSD with a 2tb one.

      Dell has a 15" XPS with a 256gb m.2 drive that I should be able to swap out for a 2tb Drive. I think the current price for the Drive is $1,300 and I'm okay with that.

      Just wondering if people had heard of or use any cool, relatively thin 15" laptops having or capable of having at 2 TB SSD drive.

        You know that a 2TB SSD is going to run over $500 by itself right?

        I guess you do say price is not an object so please forgive me and i will take my lashings in the public square.


        This thing is a beast. It has USB 3.0, HDMI, DisplayPort and LAN ports.

          Well I pulled the trigger on a fully loaded 15.4" MacBook pro. All the upgrades. Just under $5k out the door. http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/

          Thanks for trying to help.

              There's only a single 2TB PCIe m.2 drive on the market right now, and it's $1300

                I think Dell's latest Ultrabook is a masterpiece which included i5, HD Graphics 620, 4GB of RAM and 512GB SSD Drive but you can upgrade upto 2TB.

                  That RAM is too low. It's enough to browse some websites, but 8GB is required for any kind of serious work.
