I want a really thin gaming laptop but I don't know whether I should get a laptop or a laptop with an egpu. I would like to get the XPS 15 with 8750h and 256gb sdd and an external 1070ti but i dont know if the performance will be good if you know pls tell me. Or instead if anyone wants to help me find the thinnest laptop with a discrete 1060 and 8750h

It really depends. Do you need this power all the time? If so, then go with a thin gaming laptop. If not, go for the XPS aid you don’t need to haul a EGPU around.

Who needs fancy graphics and high resolutions when you can get a 60 FPS frame rate on iGPUs?
