Hi all,

I may be after something that doesn't really exist, but my ideal laptop requirements would be as follows (in order of importance):

- 17" screen, at least 1080p
- SSD
- 16Gb RAM
- Decent battery life
- 6th gen Core i5 or i7
- No optical drive (this isn't a show-stopper, but I really don't use them nowadays)

So essentially an ultrabook with a big screen.  I don't game at all, watch a lot of video, and do a bit of data-crunching occasionally, as well as photo retouching via Lightroom.
