I need a Windows based laptop which will be viewable outdoors in bright light.

It seems OLED laptops are around the corner but not quite here yet (in the UK at least). I've got 5 different laptops currently and the screens are all pretty useless in bright conditions.

The min. spec I need is i5/i7 2.6GHz, 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, must have RJ45 port and a few USBs, around 14-15"screen, Win10Pro.

Any recommendations?

My last 3 laptops were:

MacBook: very good and bright screen but useless outside because of highly reflective surface.
Samsung Series 9: semi-gloss, but about as bright as a Donald Trump voter.
Dell XPS 15 (current): I opted for the matte screen because of my Mac experience, and because I wanted full HD instead of 4K. It's the best by far


So my 2 cents: don't just look at brightness, a matte screen is just as (if not more) important.
