It's already pretty brave of the designers to stuff that kind of hardware into such a thin and light chassis. 2kg is already pretty thin and light for this class of system. It raised quite a few eyebrows when the Vyper only weighed in at 1.6kg. Less than that with the same, current gen hardware would be insane

The weight being in part from the copper heatpipes which transfer the heat away from the components.

With 32gb RAM and a pair of extremely expensive Samsung drives, under £1500 is likely also to be a stretch.

Given the criteria you've stated, you're not going to find a better fitting chassis
