So Linus just posted this: https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/857714353130409984 A thin and light from Acer.

You can easily find this info digging around online. I'd say it isn't very hard at all to upgrade. One thing to note is that you will void the warrenty if you mess around with the internals because a sticker behind would be broken.

Jarrod'sTech on youtube has a video that benchmarks and compares the two cpus.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll just have to see if I can test out some display models to compare.

I'm on the brink of buying a new laptop but I can't decide on what configuration I should get. 1) GTX 1070 with a 4K 60fps ips panel 2) GTX 1070 with a 1080p 60fps ips panel or 3) GTX 1060 with a 1080p 60fps ips panel I don't want to get a 120hz panel even if it comes with g-sync because it is a TN panel and I'm planning to start dabbling in digital art, so colour accuracy is important to me. (but not to the point of needing 100% aRGB at this moment) Each config comes with it's own set of problems: The first option doesn't allow for games to be played at Max setting at the full 60fps at 4K and I hear playing games outside of the native resolution will cause the images to lose it's quality. The second option (since it doesn't have g-sync) would introduce tearing with v-sync off because of high frame rates. I have read that Adaptive V-sync, or V-sync with with Triple Buffering might help but will still introduce input lag. (Also, is Adaptive V-sync the best solution to tearing outside of G-sync?) The third option has the best GPU for the screen, but it won't be able to hold out as long as a GTX1070 at Max settings with newer and more demanding games come out. Because I haven't yet bought the laptop, I feel that I ought to be a bit picky about it so I can make the choice that would give me the best experience as I will be using the laptop for the foreseeable future. (up to the next 5 years) The laptops I'm currently considering are the Alienware 15 R3 and the newest Razer Blade (Which has a GTX1060 and 4k touchscreen option, but that would have the same problems as option 1 and will be more prominent.) Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
