I looked into the G501JW ROG, but never got it because it was out-of-stock.
Looked into an HP Omen and MSI.
I think if I ever sink serious money into a laptop it will be a Sager\Clevo or Schenker.
How do you like that MSI ?
I don't need the graphics card for my purposes, but it seems even the Xeon workstation systems I've looked into have a high-end graphics card packed-in.
