UHD portable laptop with some beefy specs?

[jkteddy77]

I'm looking at getting a nice 13.3-15.6 inch laptop, but the 13.3-14 inch is my desired range at the moment. budget is under $2000, prefereably as low as $1500 or so if possible. 960m graphics or higher.

I tried the Gigabyte P35 last month. It had 3k and a 970m 6gb, and it ruled for gaming. Ran BF4 at high in 3k 60+fps!
Though, I am in college, and it sucked to move with, and was not user friendly in a chair in class.
Not to mention 3k was a very poor resolution. Most objects looked blurry regardless of its high pixel density due to many programs not scaling well with the odd ratio of pixels (2880x1620). I don't mean there size, I mean edges of pages and objects on screen would get blurry due to the odd ratio of pixels basically trying to fit 3 pixels in the spot of 1 (3k vs 1k or 1080p, understood?)
Therefore, even resolutions that properly fit pixels is ideal (1440p, 2160p)
I may be looking for a dreamers laptop, but I want something like a 13.3-14inch laptop, that has above 1080p, a touchscreen, and a full intel HQ processor (preferably Skylake if it's coming out) and 960m graphics or higher.

I can't find a single one! Well, that's a lie. Only the Razer Blade sports these specs, but the 1800p screen is a turn off, and I don't like Razer in general. (as I type on my Razer Chroma keyboard... gonna ditch this thing as soon as a better CherryRGB keyboard than the K70 comes out from a better manufacturer... plus this razer was $99, don't judge me!)
I also don't like Lenovo, they are very mainstream consumer, and I don't like their brand or their products. the Y50 is off my list. Also alienware for portability reasons and their pricing and product reliability. Any other manufacturer but alienware, razer, and lenovo, I am up for using.

Does anybody have any recommendations?
here is the fastest touchscreens I could find:
http/www.razerzone.com/store/razer-blade (outrageous price, and blegh, razer)
http/www.xoticpc.com/asus-n550jxds74t-touch-p-8094.html (older, only 950m, cheap build)
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232788(Best contender so far, but a newer model is preferred with windows 10 support and Skylake)

any other recommendations or ideas when any possibly newer laptops that fit this criteria might release from gaming lines such as MSI, Gigabyte, Acer, Asus, etc? I know, touchscreen isn't that prevalent in gaming laptops, but I want a media PC for minimal gaming while on the go with the benefits of touchscreen a high resolution.

You're effectively asking for a unicorn in a laptop. You want beefy specs but you want portability, you want UHD but you want it with a hot, high end mobile GPU that currently can barely drive UHD for games (980M is only 80% of the performance of the 980 desktop, which only hits above 60 FPS at 4K on older titles, 30 FPS at 4K on newer ones. BF4 benchmark shows 35 FPS at 4k on the 980M)

Your best bet is custom speccing one of the 4K laptops at XoticPC or something like ORIGIN PC's EON line or something.

You have some options. Don't expect all of the small screen ones to be Razer-blade sized though. AORUS (only QHD+ though, 3200x1800) or Gigabyte or the MSI GS60 series might be your best bet for thinness at 13-15.6"

There is no point for having such a high resolution screen in a gaming laptop if you have a small screen and your hardware can't cope with it.
You have to sacrifice the small size for more power.
P.S. For full advantage of 4K (as in work space) you need a 30inch screen.
I would get a g-sync 1080p ips display 15.6inch laptop with a gpu like gtx 970m or gtx 980m and be happy with it.
If you absolutely need to have mote than 1080p I suggest a laptop with 1800*3200 screen (kinda strange resolution in my opinion, so you could have some UI scaling problems just like in $K).

Well It's NOT going to be my primary gaming machine guys... I have my i7 and R9 290 right here (soon to be 290 sli and 4k monitor) I'm looking for a really good looking touchscreen display laptop with a decent Skylake i5hq or i7 hq, and some nvidia graphics. graphics isn't a problem, I can actually play in 4k using Steam In-home Streaming from nearly anywhere on my campus, it's the best xD
I do believe I found my best two options thus far though:
http/www.amazon.com/dp/B014IZ8GYO/ref=sr_ob_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1445067951&sr=1-2 (last gen, but still faster than nay skylake solution it's size so far, there are no skylake 15.6in touchscreen 4k screens with full i7 HQ processors.)
http/www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15-7559-laptop/pd?oc=dncwpw5717h&model_id=inspiron-15-7559-laptop&dgc=CJ&cid=47997&lid=4279734&acd=12309198375458460&ven1=10550055-3224826-3-41337-nil-1-36-nil&ven3=676703055427425791 (only an i5 though...)
and this of course would be big. Bulky isn't my main concern, I think a 13.3 2-in1 would be best too because I am able to fold it up like a notebook, take notes, etc. of course these will have only U-line processors, but these are options too:

Ok. I understand. From those two listed I would pick the Dell Inspiron for 1000$ (I think it would suit your needs well without paying a high price prerium) simply becasue the Asus doesn't worth the extra price (in my opinion).
