Few things to ponder - in most gaming laptops the screen is to "Get by" not to use exclusively. These should spend most of their life docked attached to an external monitor. If you must game exclusively on your laptops screen then you must recognize you have needs that are nowhere near in a majority - pay for that cost with something more premium as the masses don't need to pay for a 144hz g-sync panel that will be gaming at home. There is a difference between for 60hz from 144hz especially when playing FPSers, but again your priority should be buying a good monitor for home to use. If you spend $2k on a laptop so you can use G-sync exclusively on some 15in screen you got mad screwed up priorities when it comes to gaming.
Laptops simply give you the luxury of being able to game anywhere not that you automatically get the most premium experience doing it.
That said, none of you wondering about VR should give a rats arse about the panel attached to this anyways. VR glasses run off their own capabilities. If thats 90hz or 120hz it doesn't matter. Your laptop monitor could be 15hz, you arent using it for VR.
A 2060 mobile is the same as a mobile (not Max-q) 1070 which is perfectly fine for current gen VR. The fact they put a USB port in-between the HDMI and Mini DisplayPort is a sure sign they feel this is good for VR.
This is a legit good laptop for the price.

15" > 17" for portability, and it has the RTX2060, newer tech than the older 1060GTX style cards..
It's not that the newer version of cards are a huge leap in power over the old ones or anything like that. If it weren't for all the coin mining going on in the past the old cards would be at a great price point years ago and the new cards wouldn't have come out at such a high msrp to begin with. Raytracing is a gimmick. When it was first announced I was excited thinking it would be helpful for 3D work, but you can't even use it for that so it's a gimmick that makes your FPS slower and not faster and gamers typically choose more FPS over pretty graphics.

What I'm wondering is how this would compare to a GTX 1060 desktop. The added portability to a different space when you need more room for room-scale or taking it on the road would be nice. One major concern is that I understand the performance between one GTX 2060 laptop and another can vary greatly due to the way NVIDIA has allowed vendors to tweak the mobile GPUs in this gen. Display outputs is also a factor with laptops, as HMDs are pickier than traditional displays.
Im not an expert on vr systems, but I think the refresh rate will depend on your VR headset. A 2060 should be able to display higher frames on other monitors depending on the games level of graphics.
How can one determine if it's a 60hz? Genuinely curious
