8 hours is a whole lot of battery life. My Macbook pro retina can only do 7. The new 13in can do 9, and the 15in 8. With all of the capability you want, the tech inside will take up too much room for a large battery, unless the laptop is to be CRAZY thick.

Battery life shouldn't be a problem for most anymore thanks to these: http://www.techradar.com/news/portable-devices/other-devices/best-portable-chargers-14-we-recommend-1178873
just pick up one or two and job's a goodun - it should recharge almost any laptop fully again.
most laptops on idle get about 5 hours - provided brightness is turned down and whatnot - so one of those USB charger bricks should be fine.
then you're basically free to get whatever laptop you want since you can double charge it.
if it was me i would get the MSI GS60, one of the gigabyte laptops that has the 860M (I forgot the model number, its a pain) or a lenovo y50.

I think something like this one would be nice, not too big in size, 15.6" is big enough for me

except I want it to have a SSD (128GB minimum), a better gpu than that and 16GB ram

this one also seems very nice
