Honestly I would prefer a 120hz G-sync 1080p panel to a non G-sync 60hz 4k panel.
Why does it need 64gb of ram, you're not using it as a SQL server or VM host. Also why are there two SSDs instead of one big one. Some of the specs just needlessly drive the price up.
So...what's the deal?? 😂

"Slim" but doesn't show the weight. Unless i'm blind 😂Also does anyone know what type of panel the screen uses?
It's a 120hz G-Sync, so it's going to be TN. I haven't kept super close tabs on things lately so I might be wrong on this, but I don't know that I've seen even a desktop monitor at that high a refresh rate that was IPS.
—also, this laptop is kinda maxed out in most aspects and a 1080's going to put off a fair bit of heat, so I wouldn't expect it to actually be slim. There are some actual slim GTX1080 laptops out there, but they underclock them to be able to shave down the cooling/size.

I'm glad I waited, went ahead and pulled the trigger. These specs are pretty darn good for just 2.1k. Here's a review by notebookcheck.[notebookcheck.net] Runs a little toasty, not surprising for the specs, but the good news as stated by the reviewer is that it never throttles. I've gone through a similar spec'd machine by Alienware and their 17R4 model has a terrible heatsink design and not enough cooling for the VRM chips which causes throttling (pretty much pissing away money since you can't reach the full potential given the hardware).

Mostly IPS if I'm not wrong.
