Not good. Ok for 1060. 1070 is too hot to be handled.

 

OP, go for Alienware 15/17

Not sure if Alienware do 120hz but maybe have a look at their products?

The only laptop on my mind right now which fits the specs you want is the GTX 1070 version of the MSI GE73VR.

 

But I'm very hesitant on recommending MSI laptops as of late.

The Workhorse (AMD-powered custom desktop)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | GPU: MSI X Trio GeForce RTX 2070S | RAM: XPG Spectrix D60G 32GB DDR4-3200 | Storage: 512GB XPG SX8200P + 2TB 7200RPM Seagate Barracuda Compute | OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

 

The Portable Workstation (Apple MacBook Pro 16" 2021)

SoC: Apple M1 Max (8+2 core CPU w/ 32-core GPU) | RAM: 32GB unified LPDDR5 | Storage: 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD | OS: macOS Monterey

 

The Communicator (Apple iPhone 13 Pro)

SoC: Apple A15 Bionic | RAM: 6GB LPDDR4X | Storage: 128GB internal w/ NVMe controller | Display: 6.1" 2532x1170 "Super Retina XDR" OLED with VRR at up to 120Hz | OS: iOS 15.1

+1 to search for Alienware model if laptop is must

http://www.dell.com/in/p/laptops/alienware-laptops

 

Those Clevo models from azom listed by @sicily428 seem good. But I don't see pricing listed there. And I don't think 1070 model will be under your 175K INR

 

Isn't GE series slimmest one? Wouldn't be good for thermals with a 1070 in it

 

Finally got PS4 Pro

If HP omen can handle cooling of that 1070 without thermal throttling then go for it. I doubt it though.

 

Among these 2 my vote goes to Alienware 15.

 

Regarding upgradebility, apart from RAM and storage drives, is anything really upgradable? 16 GB RAM should be fine for gaming for lifetime of that laptop. You can always use external drives to manage space.

 

I would suggest choose based on which has better heat management, better screen, cost, service factors

1070 on the GE73VR thermals are respectable, but its a silicon lottery for the CPU. All reports on GPU has been no thermal throttling and they typically stay under 80C by in large for the 1070. The 7700HQ is fine after downvolting, which plays into the silcon lottery. If you buy one from someone like GenTech or HID you can request them to do a custom job on the system and use IC Diamond or CLU. MSI are typically OK using CLU since their heatsink is relatively flat and makes a good connection. . . I had this same topic and researched it the last month or more watching and waiting, finally went the GE73VR route knowingly taking away no G-sync and a TN panel, for that faster response time and better over all thermals. My two cents.

SLI 1070 Setup for sale!!!

If you want great thermals and a 1070 you want a GT73VR or GT75VR and repaste with Grizzly Kryonaut or Phobya Nanogrease extreme (use the SPREAD method, not the dot method), if you want to go with MSI.  For Alienware, you want the 15 r3 or 17 r4, and repaste.  If you have high core temp differentials, you need to get the laptop heatsink realigned and repasted by the trustworthy person iunlock over on notebookreview or one of the other team members of LiquidHz.   iunlock is very trustworthy and has a TON of references on notebookreview. He WILL return your laptop in better shape and with better thermals than you got it brand new.

 

The MSI has a better default heatsink so it doesn't suffer from the large core differential issue after repasting by yourself.
