Well the aero 14 has a gtx 1060 and great battery life with top laptop CPU with and IPS screen. Altough the 512 gb model is 1699 one can get one for cheaper, but it does fit all your needs. https://www.amazon.com/Aero-14Wv6-BK4-Notebook-i7-6700HQ-Computer/dp/B01N45HGL5/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1484274262&sr=1-1&keywords=aero+14

Well battery life and weight are concerns as i need to carry this around quite a bit

So i am going to college soon and i am debating the Dell XPS 15 with the new gtx 1050 or the aer0 14 with the gtx 1060 All specs and are same price except Dell has 15.6 inch screen aero has 14 Aero has gtx 1060 dell has gtx 1050 They have same battery size which is main reason for these two besides being light weight, same ram, and same CPU. I will mainly be doing cad or other 3-d software but I enjoy the occasional Battlefield, Planetary Annihilation, and Overwatch.

Right now I am looking for a laptop for college. I am having a hard time satisfying these requriements. Can find them indpedently but not together. Also trying to spend under 1700 but would prefer to spend around 1200. GTX 960m or better, would prefer new 10 series 16 or up-gradable to 16 gigs of ram under 5.2 pounds, the lighter the better over 5 hours of batter life
