Important features:
Build quality
32 GB of RAM
Recent ports/networking standards supported (USB-C etc.)
Good virtualization support
Laptops considered so far:
* DreamMachines G1060-15PL22 aka Clevo P651HP6-G
Cons: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is an overkill for me, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti would be enough but such configuration is not available
* DreamMachines G1050Ti-15PL22 aka Clevo N850HK1
Cons: worse build quality than P651HP6-G and build quality is critical
General Clevo doubts: What about drivers support for Linux/Windows? Is it better build quality then ASUS ROG Strix ?
* ASUS ROG Strix GL553VE-FY022T
Cons: lack of NVMExpress enabled SSD
Looks like best option if SSD can be replaced with NVMExpress enabled
Opinions?
* Lenovo Legion Y520-15
Pros: lower price
Cons: low build quality opinion
* MSI GE62 Apache
* Acer VX5-591G
* HP OMEN 15-ax205nw
