I need a laptop with a GTX series GPU and thunderbolt 3 

 

16+GB of ram

 Kaby Lake CPU

Budget?
Screen Size?
Battery life?

 

Why do you need tb3?

[Gruenbaum]

Price range? Location?

Wait for the new Dell XPS 15 to come out. I expect it to have a Kaby Lake i7 (7700HQ?) and possibly GTX 1060. It currently has a GTX 960M.

nah it will not be able to cool a 1060 unless they make it thicker and upgade the GPU cooling a lot, it would MAX be able to handle a 1050 with current cooling system, it is fairly likely that they just stick with a 960m

Well even if they up it to a 1050 that will be pretty good for a thin and light laptop.The 960m is alright but even at that it starts to heat like crazy.

because of the density of pascal, heat concentration is higher so temps are higher, so heck a 1050 might also be out of the window. yeah the XPS15 can already get pretty damn hot with a 960m. I would hope for them that they upgrade the cooling a bit

Any specific reason why it has to be a Kaby Lake CPU?

Nah it doesn't. Repasted and undervolted these things run at like 70C. Pretty amazing. This is at P95+Unigine Heavene load. But that's mostly the stock paste is applied like trash, the heatsink DOESNT TOUCH some components so you actually need thermal pads, and Skylake is pretty godly at undervolting. After all these aftermarket upgrades, XPS15's have the potential to run amazingly. At stock it's pretty meh.

I also want to point out there are no Kaby Lake mobile quad cores with a 10 series GPU on the market. So k. Until you can provide some more information about wtf you want in a laptop I'll just tell you to go with a MSI 16L13 or a Clevo P750DM2.
