I hope this has a 1080p variety. High-end desktops still struggle with 4K, let alone laptops. I suppose you could just set the resolution to 1080p and just pixel-double the display, wouldn't look that bad. But it's a waste of money to do that. I'd rather just save that money and equip it with a display the laptop could use properly.

I personally think a fully baked 1050ti with a 1080p 144hz gysnc display would make the most sense for a product like this.

4K on 17" is silly. Toss that out for a 1080 display with a higher refresh rate. Add Thunderbolt capability to that USB-C port. Ditch the combo headphone/microphone jack and have separate ones. Offer a configuration that replaces the 1070 with a 1060 for less heat and less power draw.

I don't think I've yet seen an accurate representation of how hot mobile CPUs get; game on one for 4-6 hours and you'll start seeing just how hot they can get. I've had 4700MQ, 4810MQ, and 6820HK in the past few years and every single one of them runs, much, much hotter than in reviews. For the 6820HK I actually had to undervolt it to keep it from throttling.

EVGA looks nice but what about the heat ??
