Is there any windows alternative to this with a metal case?

I'm tired of shit HP and Dell plastic computers that weigh a fuckton and are built terribly

Price isnt an issue but small size/weight is a must

Asus Zenbook UX305? Dell XPS 13/15? Microsoft surface book?

just install windows through bootcamp you faggot

why?

Razer Blade.

It's an almost identical rip off design wise.
>>
>>51853921
This, surprisingly excellent alternative, especially compared to other enterprise laptops

buy a fucking macbook air and install windows on it. anything less and you'd just be asking for macbook envy and inevitable buyers remorse

Buy a used MacBook Air and boot camp it
>>
>>51853912
Buy business class, not that fucking consumer grade bullshit. Ffs. HP eliet boom line runs both OSX and Windows like a dream. Even Linux if your so inclined to be autistic and defeat the purpose of portability since you'll never leave your basement.

shit driver support

>>51855584
how so? what doesn't work in bootcamp? everything works.
>>
>>51855584
Not true. Maybe in the past but now it works perfectly fine.

Asus G752

>HP Spectre
A lot of metal. Tablet mode is clumsy, looks great as a regular laptop.
>Yoga 3 Pro 2015
Best folding laptop IMO.
>SurfaceBook
Would not consider. Bad QC, bad software.
>Surface Pro 4
Bit of a stretch, but this one is my favorite. Great for everything.
>LG Gram
2015 Macbook that's cheaper and has more than one(1) port.
>XPS 15
Best battery life, solid build. Regular laptop form factor ie. no tablet mode.
>XPS 12
Surface competitor.

hp elite books are actually magnesium alloy which is tougher than the aluminum in a macbook pro

but they're not cheap either
>>
>weight is a must
Are you a toddler?
>>
>>51855591
>>51855606
not so. everything works but it is substantially slower and has shit battery life. best to buy one build for windows.

source: have a macbook air with windows bootcamped on it
>>
>>51856244
>air

That's your problem...

Asus n series
I have n55-jk, its based

>>51853912
there are, most of them are even better. simply stop looking for consumer grade shitbooks.
check the following.
Dell XPS/ Precision 3000 and 5000 Series
HP Elitebook, zBook Series
Thinkpad Carbon, T450s

>>51853942
enjoy you low quality and extremely shitty service.

consumer crap

If you want an exact clone of the 15in MBP with a 980m gpu than look at the Razer Blade

http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-blade

I heard it thermal throttles under intense load though.
>>
Xps 13 is king indeed
>>
>>51855778
The HP Spectre tablet mode is fine actually, and I own one with an i7. The battery life is stupendous. It's definitely on part with the XPS 15, I don't think that battery life on that laptop is by any means better. Also this laptop definitely kicks any other laptops' ass in terms of form and design quality. It's gr8 m8.

I use a Samsung Ultrabook and it feels pretty nice.

that's not the drivers fault. it's windows for being a bloated piece of cpu hogging shit
>>
>>51856244
i've owned two different generations of macbook air (sb and haswell). windows performance on both ran as windows would on similar hardware. which should be fucking obvious since macbooks use off fucking off the shelf pc hardware (intel cpu & gpu, samsung ram & ssd etc). the only reason windows eats battery life COMPARED TO OSX is because windows is garbage
