ASUS ROG Gaming Laptops

Always when I plan to look some gaming laptops one fact pull me back...
i7-mobile Skylake is not as i7-6700K
GTX980M is not as GTX980, it's closer to GTX780
And that things always stop me to look further... Because i7 mobile is similar as i5 desktop.

Now I see some Sager laptop and in specification

6th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor
Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 8GB GDDR5

How is that possible, ASUS use mobile GPU and mobile Skylake CPU, with 6MB and 8MB Cache, but they can't give same performance as i7-6700K.
Sager offer and same model with single or dual GTX980M but single GTX980...
I THINK ASUS SHOULD DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

Perfect laptop than could be with i7-6850K - GTX1080 16GB DDR4 2800 option for 2x M.2 and 2x SSD or HDD.

If we talk about desktop GTX980 or even GTX1080 on 1080p 17.3" that offer years of nice gaming,
from other side mobile GPU can't offer smooth gaming in Crysis 3 on Ultra details without AA, you need to go down with details,
desktop GPU have space and for mid filters and smooth fps.

Look at him inside...i7-6700K and GTX980 in laptop.



I really think that ASUS should except watercooling laptops and 24" laptops to build gaming laptop with desktop Intel and desktop GPU.
Difference in GPU speed is more than new generation, CPU as well big difference.
For many people it's not important to play only with battery, they need easy removable platform no matter is it connect in power wall or not.
They move easier in bed room, in living room to connect with TV, to bring with them 500km away if they go somewhere on weekend, etc...
If laptop offer desktop performance than a lot of people who like desktop will think more about laptops. 24" is good idea but how someone who follow Intel
and NVIDIA lines to be happy about mobile Maxwell when perform as desktop Kepler.
