P.S. Don't buy a gaming notebook now with a GPU that was launched nearly 2 years ago (1.5), not now with Pascal coming out soon!

That thing looks OK, but $3000? For having one magically special new USB 3.1? Or for having 32GB of memory which gamers have no use for and it costs like $170 only anyway.
Or is it for having 4k screen which is not suitable for gaming as connected GPU can drive very few games in 60fps on such resolution?

Cutting price in half, using 1080p or at most 1440p screen, but 160Hz+ Free/G-Sync mandatory for gaming device.

Only thing which makes it remind me of gaming notebook is actually colored WASD. And looking at how small portion of 15" display area is taken by actual screen, it looks more like 11" baby notebook toy with huge safety bezel.
