High End Laptop

[I'm your huckleberry]

Looking for a touch laptop. Spec wise, I am wanting:

15.6" 1920x1080 or higher, ips, touch
i7 4700MQ or better
at least 8gb ram
at least 128gb ssd
at least gtx 750m but preferably better
and reasonable thickness

Was currently looking at the highest end model, but was hoping there was something with a better gpu yet still reasonably thick and with a touch screen. Found some decent options that don't have a touch screen. Any suggestions appreciated. Price up to $2500 should be fine.

Take a look at doghousesystems.com and let me know if any of their laptops catch your eye (non-touch screens).

Thanks for the link as I hadn't heard of them before. However, those all appear to be thick laptops like alienware options. Some thinner choices I have come across are the razer blade (14" 1600x900 though, no touch screen, and mediocre TN panel) and the gigabyte p35k (no touch, and possibly mediocre build quality). However, I think I am leaning toward the dell still. GT750m probably is plenty for casual gaming since I still have the main rig to work with and won't need to jack the resolution. Really think touch screen will be a nice feature to have with windows 8.

I'll look for some other offerings. I've heard nothing but good reviews about doghouse so that's why I threw that idea forward.

So beyond gaming, you want it to be svelte, and if possible, touch-enabled... Hmm....

MSI has some very thin offerings. (GS70)

It is 17", I'm not sure if you meant 15" min or 15" only.

No touch screen though, which I think may have something to do with the thickness. (This is not a fact, simply a guess.)

The "or higher" was really meant for the res. However, I think that 14" wouldn't be a bad size either, so 14 or 15.6" is where I want to be. Gigabyte has two thin offerings at both sizes, P34G and P35K. But both lack touch capability. I am probably just a year soon for wanting decent gaming gpu and touch in same laptop.
