    No ideas?
    Only thing i could find would be a custom built HP DV6Z but it isnt sold like that in the EU...
    Also forgot to mention if possible id like either a touchpad+pointing stick with two sets of buttons like the workstation and business laptops have (m4600, w520, e6520...) or just a touchpad with no buttons at all (like the new Asus and Samsungs - rather have no buttons then crummy ones).

    There's a Lenovo Ideapad with a setup like that. a8 apu, usual 13 inch chassis, screen, etc. Not sure how easy it will be to order one, though..

    The Lenovo doesnt fit what im looking for as stated in the OP...
    Is there really no other suitable laptop than the DV6Z (which i also dont find ideal and id have to import from the US)?

    Right. Because of the resolution on the screen.

    No, I was looking for a setup like this too. 1080p screen, a6/a8, no integrated graphics, a large battery, ssd or a replaceable hdd.. Couldn't find one.

    Closest I could get was the k53, n53tk models.
