Zephyrus or Desktop + XPS

[Slurpy]

Ok, so I am looking at getting a new setup in a few months for gaming and a bit of video editing. I also like to go to lan parties and do a bit of traveling. 

 

But To The point, I am stuck between Getting the Asus Zephyrus or an i7 1080ti build and just getting an XPS 15 or equivalent for travel/lan. It would be cheaper to just go with the zephyrus and just daisychain 3 1440p monitors off the TB3 port.  And It would give me moah powah everywhere i be. But I would like the full power if an i7-7700k with a GTX 1080ti when I return to my home base, and the Display of the XPS(id opt for the 1080p model) 

 

NOTES:

I don't need the 120Hz Panel of the Zephyrus

I play Minecraft, VR, Rocket League, and Who's your daddy at max settings.

I Record gameplay with OBS studio and would do It here at 1440p60.

I currently Edit with DR14 but will probs upgrade to the CC suite. 

i can DONGL3LYF3 so IDC about ports. 

I might go to Europe next year so I will need to not get bored on the plane ride lol. 

 

I can answer most questions.

so from a portability standpoint, would a Zephyrus be able to do this, or at least 1080p60?

XPS+desktop hands down.  The Zephyrus isn't worth it in my opinion-sure its light and has roughly the same amount of performance as an overclocked 1070, but it offers no expandability whatsoever.

Ehh.  Mobile CPUs are not nearly as good as their desktop counterparts at recording gameplay.

it can, but won't be a comfortable experience, get a ryzen 1600+ 1080ti.

I have a friend who can Record 1080p60 with his 6700HQ just fine

EDIT: While my 6700 fails miserably

What is your budget? The point is, you can upgrade your desktop down the road and you cannot upgrade the Zephyrus down the road.
