I was wondering if I should wait on Skylake. Will something other than ultra low power variants in a quad core configuration start to replace the 4th gen "HQ" that they seem to use almost exclusively in gaming laptops. I've only found a very select few of top of the line machines that use a newer 5th gen "HQ" processor. Most of the rest seem to use a 5th gen "U" variant like the i7-5500u which seems odd in a gaming laptop. I haven't shopped for a laptop in a long time so i'm trying to catch up on things.
Also any opinions on whether or not a touch screen will be worth it on win 10 or just unused. As well as if there is a point in getting a 4K laptop. I mean the only thing 4k seems useful for right now on a pc is video/photo editing which I do not do and 4k gaming. Which I highly doubt there's a laptop capable of pushing a 4k res game under a few grand let alone do a decent job at it. Also worried things would be far to small on a 15" display though I guess maybe win 10 can help with scaling issues? But it seems kinda pointless if I'd be using it in 1080p all the time. Like to hear from people who have one I get they are pretty but does that drastically change you user experience during daily tasks like web browsing and streaming? And in a good way I can see it hurting stuff like web surfing more so than helping. Would like to know thanks!
