Inside the impressively thin 15.6" GS60 6QE, 390x266x20mm is a Skylake based i7-6700HQ, a 3GB GTX970M and 16GB of DDR4-2133 along with a 256GB M.2 SSD for your OS plus a 1TB HDD for long term storage. The integral display does indeed have a resolution of 4K, for external connectivity you can use either the HDMI v1.4b which supports 4Kx2K output or the Mini-Display port that supports 1080p @ 120Hz or 4K @ 60Hz. For fans of gaming in the dark it sports SteelSeries FULL back lit keyboard, programmable with the SteelSeries Engine and there is a single USB 3.1 Type C connector if you happen to have a compatible peripheral. Check out the performance at Kitguru but only if you can stomach the $1800 price tag and the fact that Norton comes pre-installed.

Looks like a pretty nice
Looks like a pretty nice laptop for the niche of thin work/school laptop that can also game relatively well. Most gaming laptops look far to gaudy and are too large/heavy to use as a work laptop. But the standard mobile friendly ultrabooks and work laptops usually lack the GPU power for gaming. This looks like it hits that sweet spot of thin, light, classy looks, and strong GPU. It is a bit large for carrying in a bag comfortably but that lets it perform better thermally.
*I use a Gigabyte P34G V1 for grad school. It fits in with everyone elses Macbook Pro at work, while still letting me co-op game with the significant other when needed.
