Mostly for the quality of service by dell, and the design which I like quite a bit and the thermals seem to be great on the new 2017 one and also I can sort of afford it, so I don't mind spending a little extra for it,
That being said, if you do have any suggestions for a good desktop grade 1070/1080 laptop with good thermals and less than 30mm or 1.2inches, please do let me know.
