Good recommendations! I would add to look for a non-glare screen. I am quite happy with my HP Folio 1040 G2 with Full-HD screen, 8GB RAM and 1TB SSD. I can definitely recommend the business line of HP laptops (Elitebook).

Only pain point is the RAM. I am stuck with 8GB which is maxed out sometimes. Especially when using VMs and having a million browser tabs open at once ;-)

My next machine will be bigger and heavier to be able to upgrade RAM and buy a cheaper 2.5'’ SSD. I carry around a lot of stuff anyways so shaving some 500 grams makes no sense in my case.
