Hey everyone! I am a art student and aspiring game designer that is looking for a powerful
laptop to suit my needs. the thing is I game a lot. Stuff like BF1, Dark Souls 3 and Heavily modded Skyrim. So my priorities for a laptop would be:

1- A good screen. I will buy a bigger monitor to plug it in but I also need color accuracy and fidelity on the go.
2- Lots of RAM. As we all know digital painting eats as much memory as it can.
3- A good graphics card. Most likely a 1060 since a 1050 seems to struggle and a 1070 is way too much.
4- Good storage options. The problem that I am facing is that the laptops with the best screen seem only to have ssd options with no big hdd on the side.

I was considering the following:
Alienware 15. Suits everything but I can`t find any info on it`s screen.
XPS15. Awesome screen apparently but it has a 1050 and no hdd for mass storage.
HP Omen 17t. Same problem as the Alienware.

Any input would be extremely helpfull (And no I can`t build a desktop because I need the portability hahahahah). Thanks in advance guys.

The Razer Blade is good for most of those specs. 1060, up to a 4K display and a 1tb SSD (you can always bring a large portable hard drive around, although I understand that may be impractical!). A good tool I use is the laptop finder from laptopmag, however it only includes laptotps they have reviews, which is most, but not all, of them.

Thank you that is a very helpful website! Yeah I was looking into the blade as well but forgot to include it. The only problem is that this is going to be my only computer. So I need plenty of storage and having to use an external hdd as my main storage seems dangerous. The only other option would be getting the 1tb ssd blade which is expensive. The alienware in the other hand meets all these criteria but seems lackluster in its screen from what i have seen in reviews.
