Want to buy a laptop now for video editing, gaming and programing. Recently using a i7-6500u and 960m.
Two laptops I am considering, Asus GX501 and Aorus x5v7, have i7-7700HQ and i7-7820HK. However coffeelake cpu seems to have more cores and much more power.
So should I buy a laptop now, like onw of the two mentioned above, or wait for coffeelake?
BTW when will coffeelake HQ laptops be available?

If absolutely need a new computer now, buy one now. What you have currently is reasonably powerful, so I don't think you'd lose much by waiting. We should start to see these machines coming out en-masse by the holiday season.

The coffee lake 6 cores/12 threads HQ notebook chips are not expected any time soon....likely only early next year. And by then, if one waited so long, might as well wait for volta as well.
Buy an 7th i7 gaming laptop now or wait for coffeelake?
