New Laptop

[likemike]

Hey,

So I'm planning to buy a new Laptop which I will be using for University and for gaming at home, on a 4k display, and on the go. The many difficulty in my case is that i will need a very good performing laptop, not only for gaming at home but also at my families holiday house. I also wanna have a thin and light laptop which i can carry to University everyday, because I don't really like switching deviceses all the time and I'm often working on Projects including 3D-Applications, on the go. So I started looking and found some Laptops like the Dell XPS 15, Msi Gs 60& 63. But I have some questioons to all of those laptops which haven't been covered in any review.

1. Does any one know if the Msi laptops support something like the  Razer Core (which is  hopefully awaylable sonn in europe to)?

2. Do you aviod the warrenty of an Msi laptop if you upgrade the M.2-SSD?

3. Does any one know if there is any possibility that the Xps 15 will launch with a gtx 10-Series graphics cardin the next view months?

4. Has anyone longterm experience with any of this devices in an somehow simular usecase?

5. Is there any other laptop which you would recommend to me, which is awaylable in europe?

6 Or would you consider it a better Idea to buy a laptop thats around 1000€/$ that supports a external gpu?

thanks for your help

Ummm, not sure if I should get into this argument again here, but Blades have terrible thermals and a dozen other problems besides

 

Let Linus decide

1. Yes. But it's been a ghetto ass solution and ALOT ALOT of issues because MSI label's it superport. Theorectically it should work, but the workarounds for MSI are pretty fucking stupidly high. It's ALOT easier to get it working on the XPS15 and other TB3 laptops. 

2. Yes

3. Yes. Within next 6 months. That's when Kaby Lake Quad Core 45w mobile comes out paired with mobile 1050(ti). I would be very surprised if they stuck with Skylake

4. Yes. I've had the XPS15. Great machine. Sold it cause I needed a numberpad

5. XMG (Clevo), XPS15, MSI63VR are the only slim machines I would recommend

6. No. God no. 

 

I don't even know your budget, screen size preference, battery life importance, and other details. Can't really give you a good recommendation.
