I'm having a difficult time choosing between three different laptops. For the most part, the hardware options and choices are similar between all three of them. All being equal with the SSD, CPU, RAM, etc, I am having a difficult time.

I will be opting for the i7-6600u

Each have there own perks and disadvantages, i.e. battery life and weight

With the Lenovo links, you have to click the specifications tab once you are taken to the webpage.

Lenovo X260 (12.5"): http://psref.lenovo.com/Product/ThinkPad_X260

Lenovo X1 Carbon (14"): http://psref.lenovo.com/Product/ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_4th_Gen

HP Elitebook 840 G3 (14"): http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/laptops/product-detail.html?oid=7815294#!tab=specs

Thank you!

ALL THE SPECS ASIDE...

lenovo has a tendency to kill its dedicated GPU earlier than others. I've used enough lenovo laptops to know this. I wouldn't ever get a lenovo for gaming...ever again! On the bright side, no other brand can match up to the multimedia prowess of lenovo. I don't mean the bloatware on the laptops (must uninstall them) but the sheer performance of the whole thing in reproducing high fidelity visuals and audio even when the DEDICATED GPU is dying. I think it does this by correctly utilizing codecs and available connected devices for DLNA. No other laptops can do it like that because with other brands, it's gonna give you a hard time with codecs and a bunch of trivial stuff. And yeah, it switches to integrated card...

You have pretty high budget. Though, if i wanted a new expensive laptop, I would want it to have really high quality parts like they put in gaming notebooks. You might want to check out this notebook. You can customize it a lot more than hp or lenovo allow you to do to their laptops. If I had to chose from one of your laptops on your list, I would go with the x1 because I have heard about it's quality on pcper.

No other laptops can do it like that because with other brands, it's gonna give you a hard time with codecs and a bunch of trivial stuff. And yeah, it switches to integrated card pretty quickly when NVIDIA/AMD gives up. I honestly think NVIDIA sells their near faulty chips to lenovo. May not be lenovo's fault because they're really good at marketing and helping. Too much demand for their pcs that you'd have to wait at least a month to receive your order.
I would look into HP since it has no dedicated GPU that will be wasted if it were for lenovo.
