Looking for input on buying a laptop. Looking to buy a gaming laptop that will last a good amount of time and play most if not all next gen games etc.

This is the laptop I'm looking to buy, I travel a lot and need the mobility of a laptop so that's my aim, just need to find the best fit for me.

I play BF1, Overwatch, For Honor, etc, need a laptop that can max it out on ultra settings for 1080p

It is very difficult to find fault with this laptop - and I've tried my best. If I have to nitpick, I would prefer an IPS panel, and battery life is tested at 3 hours in this December 2016 article:

I suspect that the limited viewing angles and equally limited battery life will cut into your mobility ambitions - but that's all I've got. A fine-looking machine.

So the screen is apparently 120 refresh and the panel is an IPS according to some reviews. I just wonder How future proof this setup would be as well.
 

u can play all the games for 2 years with 75fps min @ ultra setings 😉
