#1 Finally Nvidia's Max-Q gives you GeForce GTX 1080 graphics in a thin and-light laptop

Nvidia’s Max-Q is arguably the most groundbreaking mobile graphics initiative in a generation, enabling gaming laptops to be built three times thinner with three times the performance (according to Nvidia) over previous designs.

Named after NASA’s initiative to put man into space, Nvidia said the technology is based on its current Pascal architecture which, when combined with ground-up designs from OEMs, puts unheard-of performance in super-thin laptops. “The results: a high-performance gaming platform, that is as small as 18mm thick—as thin as a MacBook Air —with up to 70 percent more gaming performance than what is currently available,” the company said in a release.

Before Max-Q, gaming laptops typically had to be larger and thicker to support the heavy cooling and power requirements of the a GPU. With the new technology, laptops that would previously have maxed out at a GeForce GTX 1060 will be able to give you GTX 1070- and GTX 1080-level performance. In other words, a laptop that could previously run a game at 1080p at very high settings would, with Max-Q, be able to run the game on Ultra settings without compromising image quality, or run the game on a 4K UltraHD screen.
