I know but it is expensive and I wouldn't want a laptop with a gtx 1060 and decemt battery life to come out after.

If i could get any laptop now this is the one i would get buy the runors for the asus ux550 look niez

Get the xps if the 1050 becomes outdated u can plug in a thunderbolt gpu. And its dell which is a great brand. The xps is also pretty thin and light for the performance.

XPS 15 or Yoga 720

lols. lets see. Alienwares. Aeros. Dell 7567. That's it. pick one of those or none at all if u need battery life.

 

I dont consider the xps15 a performance laptop. 1050 is not enough.

Microsoft makes nice computers now, my friend has the surface pro 4 and it super cool light and portable. Also it's pretty fast, but I would like a little more power
