Hey all, sorry for being so quiet. I've been checking out the Aorus line. Has some impressive spec, and doesn't look obnoxious (once you've covered the bird logo). Anyone have experience with these regarding QC and build quality?

Interesting that neither of you have recommended the Razer Blade? (give or take a skin) ((Especially given Linus' love of it)) So far the suggestions have been really interesting, but still nothing is standing out for me. The Clevo is an interesting thought! As for the one packing the 1050, I'd say that 1060 is my minimum, 1070 better, maybe 1080 is overkill.

Also, as beautiful as it is, the FLEX in that thing on the deck with some pressure is terrifying!

3k adjacent if it's an amazing machine.

Hi all, I've been searching high and low for a 15"ish laptop to take with me on work projects that aren't nearby enough for me to take my desktop setup with me. I work in software like Unreal Engine 4, vvvv, Ableton Live, Max, Derivative TouchDesigner, Resolume, Photoshop, After Effects, Cinema 4D, etc. I know almost none of these are laptop friendly, but I know VJ's who run some of these things off Macbook Pro (not feeling the new one, seems kinda weak). Portable workstations (Lenovo, Dell, HP) seem to have everything I'd need, until I see the GPU specs, and while the gaming laptops tick the GPU box, they are really quite obnoxious looking (ROG and MSI) and I wouldn't feel great carrying one into a meeting with a client without skinning everything (or a million pieces of black tape). Of course, performance is more important in this, but my ideal scenario is a black box with serious guts and a great screen. Possibly too much to ask, but I've seen some great, in depth answers on here and I thought I'd give it a try. Thanks in advance everyone!
