Hi, having a hard time finding a 13 inch laptop with discrete graphics. Seems like Dell, Lenovo, HP, Razor etc all seem to start at 15.6 inch if you want to use graphics that are not integrated with cpu. I know XPS and Lenovo had them a while back.
So if you know of any, appreciate the pointer.
Newegg has this

Spending a lil less can get a 3060 if you are willing to go to 15.6"
Hey thanks, that is a pretty good option there from ASUS.
Because no, not interested in 15/15.6 size.
I think 14" is probably the smallest you’re gonna get with discrete graphics.
For 13", you’ll need to look for something with Xe graphics, which of course doesn’t hold a candle to discrete but is surprisingly capable for it is, like the ThinkPad X1 Nano (personally own this model and love it). Alternatively there’s the 13" M1 MacBook Air/Pro which has on onboard GPU that benches comparably to a GTX 1650 or 1660.
Whatever small laptop I get will usually be attached to a larger monitor.
You nailed it as for the majority of 13 inch options now, and even the newer Iris Xe does not yet tempt me. Also, external GPU in-a-docking station options seem to be short lived, dying experiment.
BUT, I never even considered Apple stuff. And now that you reminded me, it is an attractive option; reading some articles the newer models especially even higher level graphics settings at well over 60fps for WoW. This might be right incentive to finally bob for Apples !

I don’t own any of Apple’s non-x86 hardware right so I can’t comment how well they run (or if they run at all).
