How is the overall performance with the Razer Core?
Curious about the same thing. How's the laptop perform without the Core as well?
That's fantastic, very eager to try all this out. I admit, you have me looking around to try to play with one of these. I'd get rid of my MacBook and Desktop (only keep the monitor) and switch to something like this for sure. I'll let it ruminate for a few days before I probably end up pulling the trigger.
I remember reading something about the use of desktop-grade GPU's in laptops as well, and sure enough, I found the article from not too long ago: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/08/nvidia-pascal-laptop-specs-gtx-1080/
Apparently, they're utilizing the same amount of shaders but lower clock rates, that sort of thing. This is a great time to buy into mobile I'd say, and I thought back when I had the Alienware 15" with the 970m was a great time as well.

Yeah those differences in the clocks are so negligible. What a time to be alive, where we have desktop GPU's inside of a 0.5" height chassis. Great stuff.
Curious why you didn't just get the Pro that has the 1080 in it and hook that up to the BenQ instead of paying $500 for a device that holds a 1080?
I don't see devices like the Core lasting much longer now that they're able to extract desktop performance out of laptop gpu's.
But I could be wrong?
There are two reasons why you'd want to go this route. The first is sheer portability: the moment you unplug the Blade, you have a reasonably thin and light 14-inch laptop on your hands. The Blade Pro at 17 inches is always going to be unwieldy unless you're looking for a full-time desktop replacement.
The other bit: the GTX 1080 in the Blade Pro will be fast, but still not quite as fast as a desktop 1080 card. You could argue that this combo is actually more cost-efficient since you're ultimately getting a faster system.
