Sorry for being a slightly off topic grumpy old man, but why do people in this forum want 4k laptop screens? Unless you scale it down to vj, your gpu is going to be spending a lot of energy rendering pixels for your eyes only. Further speculation-if you vj and game off the same computer, I really doubt an 860m is going to get a desirable 4k frame rate on something like BF4-so you end up adjusting the resolution down again. Suddenly your 4k screen that cost extra is running 1080 half the time-so why not just get a 1080 screen? (We also know the windows desktop with certain applications doesn't scale that well, so your 4k screen may end up being a hassle in even the most basic use).
It is a sexy looking machine, I just don't think 4k laptops are a good idea.
Cheers

nah nah nah nah nah... that's the one part I don't care about and wish it was just 1080! I love this pc based on how powerful and slim it is. and i'm sure the price will be reasonable.

I stand corrected

If its affordable, it would be a fun machine to have. Good luck

I still wonder how these flat ( " skinny" ) machines get the cooling right
My Vj Laptop is quite "fat" but im sure i dont need any special stand to get it cool while show... also i can get access to any parts if i want to change the hardware setup at some point...
I also thought how nice it would be do have a flat one but i think i stay with my fat machine as long as it is good enough for my needs...
