So my girlfriend recently purchased me the new Surface Book 2 15" w/ gtx 1060 & 512gb ssd.
I got it with a student discount making it from 2899.99 to 2608.

I was excited cause I had seen some excellent reviews only issues im seeming to have is high latency with wifi and not such great performance with gaming.
I figured with a full on gtx 1060 it should perform well and it isn't.

I am returning the unit shortly.

I am looking for a laptop in the 14-15.6 inch range. Touch screen would be nice. MAX-q is fine, i prefer a very thin laptop.
G-sync must be included, 1080p 120hz or 1440p 75+hz or 4k 60hz.

GTX 1060 6GB to GTX 1080.
Core i7 7700hq to 7820hq.
16 GB ram or more
512GB ssd or larger
Mechanical RGB keyboard would be great.


Closest laptop ive seen is the ACER Triton 700 gtx 1080 model, the 1060 model woulda been perfect if it had 120 hz panel.

yeah bro something doesnt exist. you cant expect high performance power shit in a thin laptop. how would you place the hardware and how are you gonna cool it? hell you wont find this + gsync + more than fucking 60hz and even 4k in a 14" size. wtf are u smoking bro lol

Asus rog laptops look pretty good, Gsync/7700hq, etc.

Just search asus rog gsync on amazon, bunch come up.

Alright so I am settling for an ASUS laptop.

I7 7700hq
16gb ram
Gtx 1070
15.6in 1080p ips 144hz display with g sync
256gb ssd and 1tb sshd

Hopefully arriving shortly. Couldn’t find many reviews or videos on this laptop.

@op did you look into sager at all?

Yes many of the sager laptops that were thinner didn’t include g sync. If they did include g sync it was thicker and not always 120hz and none were 144hz. My last gaming laptop almost 6 years ago is a MSI still works to this day. Not brand loyal just like certain features. Last one was a 17.3 but that I find is to large for me now.

Yeah I wasn't sure what all they had but I heard others say good things so I figured to throw it out there.

I'm a huge fan of sager.

I have been quite pleased with the 1060 and 7700hq in my Gigabyte Aero 14, but I also don't play any of the newest games and have never been one to really need ultra graphic settings

Like I said I would use one if it had the specs I wanted. Closest one was $100 less with a 120hz panel vs the 144hz I got but by purchasing the Asus I get a free xranger backpack and asus game controller. Which is a $200 value.
