What's the best 17 inch laptop under $1,500?

[Hardware101]

Need a good display like 1080p. i5 or i7. don't care about gaming but would prefer a better gpu than stock intel. sleek and relatively light weight, as long as it's not a brick, I'm okay with it. would prefer an 'ultrabook' instead of the traditional big size laptops. battery life, not much of an issue.

Update: I need a touch screen laptop.

Have a look at the acer v17 nitro I think its called. It is a 17 inch laptop that is lighter than most 17 inchers and has gaming capabilities, the looks you can decide if it is sleek as everyone has opinions on what they call sleek.

That's a cool laptop but I need a touch screen.

Maybe the dell xps line could be a good laptop for you or the asus ux range.

Lenovo's Y70 is a 17 inch screen and is touch screen.
