Needs to be small and light for business travels, and sufficient thermal cooling.
Asus ROG Strix GL502VS-DB71-HID3 looks good; here are the specs.

CPU: 6th Generation "Skylake" Intel® CoreTM i7-6700HQ Quad Core Processor, 2.6-3.6 GHz
GPU: nVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 256bit w/ 8GB GDDR5 - Desktop Class Graphics
RAM: 32GB 2133MHz DDR4,
Hard Drive: 256GB PCIe x4 SSD + 1TB 7200RPM HDD
DISPLAY: 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS Antiglare,
OS: Windows 10 Home 64 bit
WARRANTY: 1 Year Warranty, KEYBOARD: US English

Price is £1666.

Does overclockers UK have anything like this? All I can see is a 2.5k asus and a bunch of MSI laptops?

4k would be nice but i don't know if i can tell the difference on such a small screen, and worry I would need a 1080 to power the 4k anyway?
 
the bezel is awful - what is that like 1-2 inches thick? And those WASD keys wtf

I'd avoid 4k on the laptop personally - you can barely tell the difference but it has a big impact on performance. If you drop 4k and stick to 1080p then you'll be able to go with something that doesn't need GTX1070 or look like it's owned by Ronald McDonald

Why not go for something like the Dell XPS 9550 1080p with the 960m?

Or Insipiron 7559 same specs as the XPS but £600 cheaper, a bit heavier but has 2gb more VRAM

the xps 15 9550 1080p screen is really bad, has some of the worst lag I've seen in reviews. Just can't game on that thing.

Isn't the 960m quite old now to be going for?
