I'm also not certain the Intel is a "Pro" like the AMD deal. I didn't see Pro on the Lenovo page.

I got the MSI GF65 at best buy for $850. Is this worth the upgrade?

- friend of mine was very high on the gp66, just wanted to see if there was any reason I should go with the Lenovo instead.

Oh man, I don't need it... but... it's so much cheaper than I thought it would be....

The problem is that 4K is jut dreadful for a laptop. The resolution is much too high to be usable, so everything is upscaled, and it has a distinct performance hit in such a mode. To speed it up, I would set it to 1080p, but then it simply loses sharpness since while downscaling a native 4k image to a 1080p screen might even be sharper, an upscaled is always worse. Finally, if you are gaming, it will fly, and fly for a much longer time if you get my drift. The issue with QHD and 4k is that sure, you can fit a lot more onto the screen, but that screen is still only 15-16 inches. More fits, because it was shrunk.
This is purely my 2 cents, but is the feedback of someone who had a 4k laptop. I wasn't crazy about the keyboard either, but that is another story.
