Powerful 13-14" Notebook - No Price Limit

After struggling with my ASUS UX301LA for a few years here, I am back on the market looking for a powerful 13-14 notebook.

Build and design are important as I will be using this for business mainly and would like it as a showpiece as well as it being a powerful system.

I have NO PRICE LIMIT - my entire business is done online and this is really my only overhead cost.

I will not purchase any notebook larger than 14". It must have AT LEAST 16 gb of RAM and must have discrete Graphics.

My current ASUS Zenbook can barely handle my workload with 8 gb of RAM.

SSD 512 gb or more (more would be better). Must have back-lit keyboard, touchscreen, a great touchpad (so that puts Razer Blade 14 out of the running since they still have touchpad buttons), and SD card slot is a major plus.
