I'm travelling for a while so I have to sell my desktop. Looking for a good gaming laptop around the $2000 mark. Preferably with a 10 series GeForce card.

Any ideas?

  Good bang for buck GTX 1060 laptop (cheapest laptop with a 1060 GPU seen on Ozb so far.)

  Otherwise i'd look at a custom built Metabox / clevo laptop, as you can customize almost every part of it.

    This pretty much. Would put in more RAM though.

      Yes such a great machine and very upgradable with ram and storage (comes with a free 2.5in HHD spot) I am currently using it as a portable desktop.

        I am trying to find the cheapest 4k UHD GTX 1080 laptop atm. Will be kitting it out with 64gb of ram regardless of its initial specifications and some speedy 1tb ssds and large hdds.

        So far all signs point to around $4200 AUD atm which is pretty pricey but expected at this high end range. Trying to find one with tobii eye tracking though if possible and all the other good stuff like gsync and 120-144hz refresh rate.

        Just wondering if 1070sli will be better or not for now as some are cheaper with better specs than 1080 laptops.

        Also I think there are no non Max Q 1080 laptops afaik but gotta read some more.

        @AlienC: maybe one of the razer blade stealth laptops? I'm pretty sure some of them are all kitted up with a 4K screen, and a GTX 1080.
