    Currently I own a Sager NP8130. Pretty standard spec with 460M GTX and 8GB RAM.

    Since I started to do quite a lot of photo editing and video production, along with gaming, I figured a better screen and better GPU are my top priorities.

    Yes I do have the need for 4K (UHD or DCI-4K) production as well. But not sure if there are any 17 inch 4K panels available. So, maybe the connectivity in that capacity is my second priority.

    Was looking at Sager/Clevo 17 inch counterparts.

    What is your guys opinion? My budget is probably around USD$2000 give or take.

    Thanks!

    If you want a 4k panel on a laptop, check out the Asus NX500. It's not as powerful as a GS70 though which I think maxes out at a 3k res.
