userbench has the "normal" mobile version of it at 20% less effective speed and again, look at some of those benches on the mobile side, erratically ducking down into tragically lower side, they might be called 1060s but those are going to be closer to 1050/ti in the home levels of performance when heat becomes an issue inside the smaller cases of the laptop. I'll always stick to my view that the term Gaming Laptop is an oxymoron. If needs must then go for it, but if it's going to be so high end a card that you need to have it plugged in all the time anyways you'd be better off just going down the PC route and ignoring laptops in this bracket. unless you travel a lot and then a laptop with this sort of a price tag is not going to survive too much moving around unless a lot of care is taken.

Yes, cooling is always a problem. Space is the primary reason to go with a (15.6") laptop. Where I normally use it, I simply don't have any space for a desktop and monitor. Plus it's still easier to move a laptop to the tv than a desktop. Games are not the primary concern though. PS4 pro handles that. It's just a couple of pc and xbox games I would like to try out that my current laptop has no chance of running. It's a rather high premium on a laptop, still better than buying a separate small form factor gaming pc for under the tv. I need the laptop anyway.

Yeah of course in your scenario you need to have a laptop so you're spending a pretty nice amount to get a decent machine, I respect that but just keep your expectations in check when it comes to any version of a graphics card which is in a laptop, they might share the same number as their desktop brother, but that's normally the only number which is the same, the cost number will be far greater and the performance number will be far lower, laptop tax as it was called earlier in the thread :D

My own laptop has a fairly old i7 , 3630qm I think was the brand but it's coupled with a tragic gpu but then my main use of it is just for work an emulation but that's mostly handled by the cpu not gpu so it does a fair job at what I want it for, again in terms of gaming at my "TV" I have my Switch/PS4 and PC all happily tucked into where my projector is so there is no console near the actual screen area, just my amp and speakers on either side of a white wall.
