4K 16" or FHD 17"?

[RikTelner]

When it comes to gaming, which laptop should I choose?

43,9 cm (17.3") Full-HD (1920*1080) Matte
39,6 cm (15.6") 4K QFHD (3840*2160) Matte IPS

Consider no bottlenecks, ultra laptop. Which screen should I order?

1080p 17.3"
or
Retina-like 4K 15.6"

?

No bottlenecks on a 4k screen is not possible mate - your looking at a tri sli desktop setup to game at 4k.there will never be a laptop chipset capable of it.
Unless your photo editing (not likely on a 15.6 inch screen) 4k is a waste of time.

"your looking at a tri sli desktop setup to game at 4k."
2x 980M won't handle 4K videos and gaming?

"Unless your photo editing (not likely on a 15.6 inch screen) 4k is a waste of time. "
No, but I really like ultra quality to the pixel. I do photo editing, I do programming, I do modelling, I do gaming, I do virtual machines, I do rendering, I do everything on this computer... or rather will do.

Oh itll handle 4k gaming at maybe medium settings & 4k video easily ,but on a 15.6 inch screen I honestly don't think its worth it personally.
I'm assuming there is a big price difference between these 2 laptops.

You're right, the 15.6" is cheaper xD. By about 100, maybe 200€. Both, with additional things preinstalled (SLI, desktop CPU, 64GB DDR3 RAM) about 2.5K €.
