Hi, I am going to buy a new laptop really soon and asus just released two that picked my atention. The asus gl502vs and the gl502vm. The only difference bettween them being the GPU.
The vs model has a gtx 1070 while the vm has a gtx 1060.

I'll use this laptop mainly for video editing in 4k (connected to a 4k monitor), some 3d renders and of course a little bit of gaming (I'm not a hardcore gamer).
Is the 1070 model worth the extra 100 bucks? will it make a big difference in performance?

Yes, the extra 100$ is worth it. Especially with 3D renders and gaming you'll see a significant difference.

If I may ask, why buy a laptop if it's going to be used with a stationary monitor?

First of all thanks for answering.
I have more than one house to stay in and I travel a lot so a desktop wouldn't be practical. In my house I would prefere to have a monitor and then when I'm on the go I can still work without lack of performance or having problems with syncing files between multiple computers.
