Greater than 1080p on a mobile GPU is pointless unless you like choppy gameplay.
Read the specs. Upgradeable to 32 GB, 2 slots.
That is some of the dumbest shit I've read on these deals...

More expensive for an older processor. Personally, I wouldn't opt to pay more for older tech if a newer one is out for cheaper.
SSD and RAM are replaceable. This one has 2 slots.

Not true with this generation of Pascal chips. The 1070 and 1080 can do 1440p easily on most games and 4k on some games. 1080p is ideal for 1060.

Yes.
The 1070 GTX gives you just about the same FPS for most games @ 1440p that it does for 1080p with the class of CPU bottlenecking it. Thus, you are losing out on a free performance.

It's $100 price difference for a better laptop. The slight clock speed difference isn't going to affect gaming with a mobile 1070, and to get a high refresh rate or ssd alone will be worth it
