[AKV404258]

Hey guys! I am looking for a laptop with a few specific features but I can't find any. I am a photographer and a gamer. Please help! Here are my requirements-

Budget- around 2000 USD

14-15 in touchscreen 

GTX 1060 minimum 

Thin construction 

Type A ports

Known brand so warranty, repair and QC is less of an issue

We will assume infinite budget if you don't give one

Where are you from? Budget? Is touchscreen a must?

Well-known brand will also have warranty and QC issues

with a 1060, you won't get a ultrabook like thin.

you'll most likely found that gpu on a gaming laptop.

Try Dell XPS 15 or Razor Blade

I am in US. Yes I need touch screen. I'd prefer big brands because warranty is easier to deal with.

My budget is 2000 but it will sure be nice to see what we can find with an infinite budget!

Have you considered eGPU?

Have you considered eGPU?they are too expensive and too much of a hassle. I already have a desktop with a 1080 so it doesn't make sense. I want something to play and work on when I'm traveling

Maybe Thinkpad P1 mobile workstation?

It comes with a 4k touchscreen, relatively thin design, all kinds of ports, and a Nvidia Quadro P2000.

I know P2000 is a bit slower than 1060 in gaming, but it is still a decent card, especially in professional areas.

 

The thing is, you asked for "thin", "at least 1060 graphics", “2000 USD" and "15' touch screen" at the same time. I cannot think of any laptop that matches all of your requirements. Thin and light gaming laptop usually does not comes with a touch screen, and thin laptop with touch screen does not have a very powerful GPU. 

 

Razer blade does have  a touch screen varient, but it sells for at least 2900 USD which is way above your budget.

The problem is, 1060 laptops with touchscreen is rare (forget about thin and light)

 

eGPU setup should be within your budget
