Currently I have a Dell XPS 15, before that Macbook Air.

Overall "feel" I was happiest with the Macbook Air, but the Apple ecosystem eventually killed it for me.

The Dell XPS 15 has been a great compromise, for work and gaming.

However I miss having a tabletmode / touchscreen, and I very much miss having a numpad, which I use a lot for work.

If I have to choose I'd prefer portability, quality and nice looks over a gaming graphics card, but it's nice to have.

I want it all!

 

If you get a 14" notebook, that most likely means no 10 key and the lighter you go lessens the possibility of a decent GPU, but a 14" can offer significant weight saving. I guess you'll have to pick your poison on that one. The HP Spectre X360 offers the option of a 4K OLED touch display, but only a MX150 GPU. Something like the the ThinkPad P52 gets you the possibility of better GPUs and a 400 nit touch LCD, but is heavier than the HP.
