Hi people this is the first post for me.

i'm just trying to find a decent laptop not sure if I should go with GTX 1060 or 1070 or 1080  Checked Asus G752VS and MSI GT73VR.(still not satisfied though)

plus aside this i will be doing virtualization on the laptop as well, some 5-6 vms running at one time

can anyone of you suggest some? 

Looking for a vfm product

dont need a desktop really due to mobility issues.

£1500-2500

just max out the budget and get 1080 with 6700hq. You are capable of that lol

But tbh, how much do you game? Here is one with 1080

More of a network security guy, will be using this one to simulate and practice.

i will be gaming after i buy this,as i know to run vms the laptop i will get will have a good graphics by default.

would be needing 16gb ram minimum 

32 would be great ?

One more thing do you reckon Single GTx1080 or a 1070 SLI?

I was thinking to shell out more because i am going to keep this laptop for long like some 2-3 years.

Wait hold up. Why not go for a desktop CPU laptop. Like a P870DM2. They are as large as the GT73 and far more powerful.
