Just my personal preference, because portability is not an issue for me: I wouldn't consider anything with a display of less than 17.3". I love the extra real estate the larger screen offers.

I would definitely recommend getting a 1070 equipped laptop and $1,399.99 seems like a really good deal. you'd be hard pressed to find a 1070 laptop this cheap anywhere else. I personally prefer screen larger than 15" (for that reason i'm personally leaning a bit towards Predator 17) but that might not be the case with you.
