well go for it, but like alway a laptop overheat, it has alot of thermal issue, and maybe more, keep in mind that in a laptop, they put cheap part in it, like the motherboard and maybe the ram,, and another thing, dont expect that the laptop spec would ruyn like a pc same spec, a gtx 1050 from a laptop is weaker then a 1050 in a pc.

Last point is actually false. It was true previously when laptops would have a 960M rather than a 960. But for Pascal, power efficiency has caught up so much that Nvidia stopped making mobile cards and actually put the full desktop cards in laptops. A regular desktop grade 1060 is faster than the 980M and has a lower TDP than the 980M too, so gaming laptops that would have had the 980M now have the cheaper 1060, gainoga both performance and battery life while providing cost savings

Nvidia have now finally released a mobile version of the 1060 and the 1070 only, there is no mobile 1050, therefore that laptop will be sporting a full blown desktop 1050
