I just saw that MSI are updating their 15 inch desktop socket barebone to take a Kaby lake and 1080, I think its called the MSI 16L13? Not backwards compatible with the current model. As for the rest of the specs you'll have to take what's there since the only other possibility is if Clevo update their 15 inch desktop socket P750DM to take a 1080.
Make sure what you get isn't killer 1535, it's caused problems for loads of people. That's an add in card though you can interchange any m.2 2230 WiFi card you wish
Eurocom is actually listing the options that will build that model, the i7-7700K + 1080, select the options in customize - although I'd suggest talking to them over the phone + email to nail down the specific's - there are a lot of details and options.
As the BIOS/vbios is in flux between the current motherboard with the Skylake chipset, and new motherboard (Kabylake/Cannonlake/Coffeelake chipset, for CPU support and new features support, you want to make sure you get the CPU + chipset + motherboard that has the most potential long term.
Not sure, but I think building it now from this form will build a Skylake motherboard chipset model with MXM 1080 fittings (non-backward compatible with 1070/1060), which is kind of a "bastard" build.
I would ask when you can order the new motherboard chipset + new CPU + new MXM 1080, with completed BIOS/vbios - otherwise you are going to have a "Frankenstein" build that needs to be "shocked" back to life a couple of times as the model is "finalized".
The World's First 15.6" laptop with gtx 1080, 7700K and DDR4-3200 is coming from Eurocom - check Tornado F5 Killer Edition on eurocom.com. Shipping already as of yesterday. Happy New Year!
Wait, where did you get 3200MHz laptop RAM? SHOW ME =O
Ain't happening. The Tornado F5 is closest to your desires, but only has one SATA 3 bay, all laptops lack 24bit DACs (that I know of), only has 3 USB ports, no HDMI-in port, no idea what 3000+++ monitor DPI resolution means, and no Killer 1900ac wifi.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
