Best <$2600 laptop January 2017

I'm still in the market for a gaming/college/development laptop.

 

I'm looking to purchase it in the middle of January, and my budget is $2600.

 

I'm a software engineer, student, and very much into gaming on AAA titles. (Fallout, Skyrim, Witcher, Civ V)

 

I really hate the design of most laptops I've seen so far. (Especially ASUS wtf are they even doing) The Razerblade looks pretty nice, but it's overpriced compared to some other laptops. 

 

What I really would like is a 1070 ,G sync display with a 2k resolution, 6820 hk, and a decent mechanical(ish) keyboard. I don't really care how heavy it is, but I really prefer a nice aesthetic and build quality.

A battery life of at least 2 hours would be nice too.

 

If those stats aren't possible with my budget feel free to tweak. $2600 is the cap though.

 

Any recommendations?

Found this with the exact same specs you wanted xD

Looks good, and thin.

Wow, that is actually really nice.

 

I appreciate the link man. I've never heard of that brand though. I'll have to watch some reviews.

Just watched one, says it's great and easy to overclock and stays cool, but gets a bit loud so you'll need headphones if you're gaming.
