I'm looking to spend about $2K on a new gaming machine, but this is looking hard to turn down. Being able to carry the damn thing with me, and plunk it down at my desk and have a real workstation with serious business graphics is.. wow.
Why should I not buy this?

Why not a desktop and a netbook instead? Should be cheaper.
If you want portable, aren't there laptops with a gtx 1060 within your budget?
If you want portable gaming*
Because it's all the same machine in this case.
Price/specs:
$1999
256G SSD
14' QHD screen
Geforce 970M
16G DDR4/2133
~6 hours battery
I throw another $300, and that basically gets me a desktop.
Because you will only ever be able to connect your GPU at PCIe 4x speeds.
eGPUs are now a meme with near-desktop level 1060s being thrown into the new Blade
It's simply not worth paying hundreds of dollars just for the eGPU enclosure
Doesn't appear to matter that much.
Gives up ~200 points in a benchmark vs a dedicated desktop, reviewer mentions 90/95% performance.
I tend to think that's worth it. I just want to play my vidya and do other stuff, i'm not a framerate whore.
You could get the same performance for near $600 with an i5 6500 and RX 480 4GB
>pcie 3.0 x4
Oh no, the horror
The blade stealth has no dedicated GPU, just intel graphics
Literally doesn't matter, Nvidia doesn't want to admit it doesn't matter because then people might question why they don't allow SLI with only a x4 slot
