Depends on ur budget and the weight of the laptop. 13.3" models will be more suitable to use on the go as the weight is lighter.

choose asus, the most amt of money u can go for

 

[Padded]

will Asus be worth the money spent?

Budget less than $1500.
Dell wouldn't be suitable on the go as the battery life is not fantastic

what is discrete graphics?

what is discrete graphics?

A separate graphics subsystem in a computer. Discrete graphics may refer to a stand-alone graphics card plugged into a motherboard slot or a separate GPU chip on the motherboard. Contrast with integrated graphics. See GPU and display adapter.

but in terms of laptop, most of them are solder on already.

most likely the whole board, since this is a lightweight laptop everything would be solder on the laptop. but i could be wrong, need to check with those open up and fix it b4.
