Well, unless you wanted to wait until probably well into Q2, 3 or 4 of next year, at least, then I guess you probably had very little choice. You won't be seeing any mobile Volta GPUs anytime soon. It generally takes many months after the release of the first desktop cards before any mobile variants of a new architecture even begin to show up. Even then, it takes a while after that for manufacturers to implement those chips into their products so we might not see a Volta based laptop until 2019.

^Agreed.

If you needed a gaming laptop now; then looking at future options is irrelevant.

There's always going to be a *new* GPU release in X number of months. If you always wait for the "next" option, you'd never buy anything.

If you're happy with the performance of the 7700HQ + 1060, then that's all that matters.
If you're not, consider returning it & looking at something with a 1070.
