    Also any word on switching to true-QHD and true-4K displays? I would really like to have more high-res options to recommend around the forums, but I will not recommend laptops that use pentile-matrix displays to claim their resolution spec, as I consider it to be deceptive, and also less practical than "lower-resolution" true-resolution displays.

    I was considering this laptop if there would've been a Kaby Lake version, but since nothing was announced I'll have to go with the XPS 9560.

    Also interested in this, I prefer this over the XPS 15 because it has a webcam at the top and full-sized arrow keys. I hope it gets updated with new Kaby Lake and GTX 1050.
