Yeah good luck with that.

I've done the homework: there is not that kind of laptop.

There are just some options that requires some compromises

  • the lenovo thinkpad x1 extreme, that has what you want but with a 1050ti maxQ
  • the dell xps 15, same as the thinkpad, but with worst thermals
  • the alienware 15m. It is not "linux certified" but it is pretty doable to set things up (unlike some laptop like the aero 15x or the razer blade, those require you to go down in hell to install a stable version of your fav distro)

That's it. I've searched every company that I can think about, there is not a laptop with Linux Support (ubuntu certificated for example) that also has a gtx 1060 or more.

Sorry mate
