I'm thinking about buying alienware 15 R3 (1070 one). Is it a good option? Or any other good option? I travel alot and need a good laptop for gaming, programming and little editing.

 

 

That alienware is a good option but it is 3.5kgs and with soldered cpu/gpu. You could also consider these laptops with a gtx1070 mxm upgradable:

-msi gt62vr 7re,

-clevo 750dm2 (desktop cpu bu my suggestion is for delidded cpus)

Spoiler

The gt62vr looks pretty good.

Thought that Dell canned the decent battery life with the addition of g-sync, you still think it's decent enough after that?
