Just feel that I need to warn you, but the Gigabyte Aero 15 line has issues with random keyboard ghosting/chatter (go check the notebookreview Aero owners thread for an increasing number of examples) and excessive bleeding on the IPS panel (probably due to the bezelless design).

Which is a shame because otherwise, it's a great (albeit pricey) choice, especially if you need the battery life.

For me, the Alienware 13 OLED with 1060 is a good enough deal if you want a small gamable notebook. If the 1060 proves insufficient in the long run, there's always the Alienware Accelerator port AND TB3 for you to run eGPUs out off. Plus it's AN ALIENWARE WOO... and more importantly, it's also a Dell, which means you also get that awesome Dell aftersales/warranty service.

Unless, of course, you prefer your laptop to be thinner (and/or your display bigger). In which case it's falls down to either the GS63VR or the Illegear S5X/Clevo P950 (which I personally own due to the factors above) - both of which don't really have much stamina unplugged (say 4-ish hours tops surfing), and can be quite noisy under full load (rendering rather then gaming) TBH lol.

Andddddd, while Illegear aftersales has been good to me so far (2 day replacement + stress testing of of LCD due to ribbon issues over a weekend summore, I'm not complaining), MSI's aftersales here in Malaysia is abouuuut as good as Acer's... or maybe a bit worse actually (in terms of repair turnaround times).

Or you know, a Blade. But do note that the Blade runs soooo hot when gaming that the internal component failure rate is actually quite high AFAIK. There's a reddit post somewhere about the failure/RMA rate of Linustechtips' many Blades (that he bought for himself and his staff) to illustrate this issue. But it's still looks damn cool TBH.

So yeah, it depends lol. I still say if you can live with a 13 incher, the Alienware 13 OLED is probably top dog in this race. Plus IINM they still have discounts running for the 13 too, which makes it an even sweeter deal.
