Problem with gaming laptops is their HORRIBLE battery life.

Also, I've had a lot of bad experiences with gaming laptops. Personally wouldn't even say it's worth it

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

I know they aren't cost effective but even though he has a nice desktop he still uses his old laptop more.  I know he will use the snot out of it. Thanks for your input though.

get something like this:
http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/alienware-15-laptop/dkcwf02h?selectionState=eyJGUHJpY2UiOjEzOTkuOTksIk9DIjoiZGtjd2YwMmgiLCJRdHkiOjEsIk1vZHMiOltdfQ%253D%253D

New Alienware 15 laptop ~1399$.

However its kinda badass, equal to alot of people stationary gameing pcs.
i7 6700HQ (3.5ghz, 4cores/8threads) , 16gb DDR4 2400, Nvidia 1060 6gb graphics card.

Is the 1070 a big jump from the 1060?

The 1070 is like 30-35% faster than the 1060 on avg.

That's enough preformance to justify the price diffeneces I've seen.  Thanks.

Thanks Yuri, good call. My son loves it. The highest end game he has on it is Watch Dogs 2 but it runs that and all his other games on Ultra.  Overwatch looks reallly pretty. Thanks for the help all.
