ASUS ROG GL502VS or MSI GS63VR 6RF Stealth Pro or Razer blade 2016 w/ 1060 or AORUS x5 v6?

Now That Most Of The 10 Series Laptop Cards Are Out, which One Of These would be the best pick? I need something under 2.5 Kgs. 15.6" max. Would love RGB and 4K display w/ touch, but not a huge necessity. Also don't really care bout G-sync. I intend on playing AAA games on high (if not ultra) at around 60FPS at 1080p. And I have a budget of 2500 USD max!

 

Thanks in advance!

GL502. I don't think you want a laptop running 95c.

All of them have heat issues

Given the form factor, I'd expect it to. But would it thermal throttle? Which would perform better under those temps is the question then?

Wouldn't the 1070 be more hot over the 1060? Plus, as much as I love those specs, the lack of RGB keyboard and QHD display is a bummer!  I'd still consider it for the performance beast it is on paper. Also how's ASUS's customer support over others?

yes and yes

I'm waiting for the Aorus X5 v6 to be reviewed with temp details.

I've spoken to Metabox (Australian Clevo works) and the P650RS-G with a 1070 weighs in at around 2.6kgs, but after over an hour of benchmarking, doesn't go beyond 84 degrees celcius. So, if the Aorus throttles, I'll be getting that myself! Another 2 weeks and we will know!

For my own personal use, GL502 980m had heat issues for me already. Only the 970m version was cool enough. Much less the 1060 and 1070 versions.

Best one out of the bunch is the GS63VR, but wait for a teardown on it's internals. The Aorus 0 idea, but no alot of expectations. The 980m was near it's limits in that chassis last gen, much less this gen.

Basically what I'm doing too. I'm honestly just REALLY curious about two Aorus panels. 15in 1080 120hz. 17in 1440p 120hz. Just looking at these.
