Yo /g/,
My work just gave out our bonuses and I'm spending mine on a decent laptop. I have a few requirements:
- i7 Kaby Lake
- GTX 1060/1070 for VR later down the road
- Keyboard layout that isn't garbage (looking at a few and it seems having the windows key on the right and fucked up arrow key placement plagues a lot of gaming laptops
-256gig SSD or bigger; HDD-less if possible
- RGB I don't care about
- Under $1700 shipped and done
- decent enough build quality. I'm coming from a ThinkPad T440p and don't want to downgrade to an HP with silver-spray-painted Chinesium case
Anyone have any suggestions? All I can find is fugly MSIs and ASUS ROG series machines. What I'm essentially looking for is a gaming thinkpad but they don't make those- and a Razer Blade Pro or standard Razer Blade is out of my price range

I mean, I'm thinking I want to have the latest and greatest but if that isn't really needed so be it.

Why a gaming laptop op, why? They are one of the worst purchases someone could make and they drop in value like a stone.

just get a fucking desktop if you need to game, there's no reason to buy a laptop at that point.

I kind of want a desktop replacement, AND my job has me using 3D software on the regular and the intel graphics doesn't cut it. What would you reccomend if not a gaming laptop? I want to have VR down the road but I'm not going to get a gaming desktop in addition to this.
