Hello, Tair:

That's quite a mouthful of different requirements, but from what I can deduce you want:
1st Priority - A high-quality screen for movie watching
2nd Priority - A practical format that you can actually carry around (14")
3rd Priority - Specs that will allow for some gaming
And I assume your budget, realistically, is $1,500.

Consider this Lenovo Yoga 720 15
http/www3.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/yoga/700-series/Yoga-720-15/p/88YG7000828

Scroll down and locate the $1,500 versions. You get a 4K UHD screen that will offer pleasant viewing, a quad-core Kaby Lake i7 CPU and a 2GB dedicated GTX 1050 card that will allow for very decent gaming. Storage is a 512GB SSD and there's 16GBs of RAM.

The only weak point is battery life: Lenovo claim 9 hours, but that's the FHD screen. The UHD 4K screen is likely to drop battery life down to 6-7 hours. But no matter how you look at it, 9 hours is very modest indeed, but that's the price you pay for a quad-core CPU, a dedicated GPU, and a 4K panel. I doubt you'll find better battery life with Dells or HPs. And forget about dedicated gaming laptops, e.g. MSI or ASUS ROG: Battery life is absolutely no concern in this segment - typically 2-3 hours of gaming, with 4-5 hours of 'regular' use. And gaming laptops typically use TN panels - often good-quality TNs but nothing you'd appreciate for watching movies on the go.

If you travel a lot and like to watch movies, I'd recommend a dual-core CPU with Intel's HD 520/620 IGP. That's going to increase battery life dramatically (at least 10 hours) even with a 2K IPS panel. Also, going dual-core will open a much wider field of panel types, e.g. Dell's IGZO panels or HP's DreamColor panels.

Best of luck,
GreyCatz.

thanks a lot i will still preffer something from the more major manufactures that will be more reliable asus msi dell exc... but i will deffinetely consider and check on this one you got my prioritys right but do you know of any 14inch laptops that will meet those standarts? and are you sure about its screen or you just think it is good of the specs if you know something or seen a review about its screen can you link it? overall it looks pretty good........
i have also seen this laptop: rog gl502vn and it looks like it has a good screen what do you say about it?

What kind of games are you looking to play?

What kind of games are you looking to play?

it can go from lol to even battlefield but it doesnt metter i still want to have at list a 1050 ti in order to future proof it and as i said my biggest priority is the screen it has to be really good...

 

[velo3100]

The best laptop that I would say is the dell xps 15. Its not gaming oriented but it should be able to play games and the screen is good as it is designed for pro apps. The other option is to wait for the max q laptops to come out and see how good they are as they will be slim.
