Thanks again. I did talk to them this morning and they offer some wide customization.
For example they can put a desktop grade processor i7-6700 on a 15.6 inch laptop.. GPU as well GTX 1060.
Do you have any opinions on this?
I did Google the pros and cons on this and saw mixed reviews like heating issue/ battery life and noise!
U have any thoughts?
Well, any laptop with high end chips will have slight heat up issues, however if the customization has been done properly... Like when they are building your laptop ask them to use different multi chamber heat-pipes and fans for different processors, use a high grade thermal paste. This might cost you a bit more but will serve very well. And this is the point of customization.
I don't think heating should be a major concern, as long as you use the laptop on a flat/airflow surface.
There are some members who have already purchased custom builds so check with them, what they have to say. But either way IMO, if the performance level you're getting is good for the money then don't drop the idea....
Modern day Pascal GPU such as GTX1060 in a laptop won't cause heat issues as they are very efficient as compared to last generation.
As far as the battery life and noise is concerned : Well it's a tradeoff for the performance it will offer. If you're planning to use the laptop on A/C power all day then battery won't matter much.
And that when you're off the charge, you can reduce the processor state to low power and thus get more out of the battery.
Fan noise is something that will always be a concern when you're stuffing a desktop grade component into laptop, but then once again it all depends on the performance you're asking out of it. In normal usage it shouldn't be noisy, and battery consuming.... But when running at high performance it will drain the battery fast... Which is kind of obvious as it will also give your much more performance than laptop counterparts.
Like I said, it all about the trade-off... For me performance >>> Noise/Battery Life...but then I am a power user. For a normal user portability/battery life is a far important concern than actual performance.
