How exactly do I order this config? If I go to the hp site, there is only one 1080p panel option but it doesn't mention 144hz g-sync. And if I choose gtx 1070, it forces me to pick the 4k display. Did they run out of g-sync displays?

@Jimbo and @CmdrEvil: RTX is focused more on newer features, like Ray Tracing, and doesn't seem to have a substantial boost in performance over the 10xx series cards. That said, CmdrEvil is right. It might be prudent to wait a few months and then catch a 10xx series notebook after the release of 20xx series notebooks. The 10xx series laptops should be available at a pretty steep discount.
@Makikou: Power throttling, indeed. I think it's a tradeoff HP made to keep heat and noise lower, but performance does suffer. Overclocking the GPU via third-party tools might be possible, but I'm not sure if the notebook is designed to deliver enough power for that.
And yes, I'm not a fan of the Omen design language, but the case is sturdy as heck.
