Asus Zephyrus GX501 with 6-core Core i7-8750H and GTX 1080 Surfaces
Most leaks and info these days originate through distributors and accidental posts and listings on webshops. We can now add the Asus Zephyrus GX501 with Core i7-8750H and GTX 1080 to that pack of leaks. On a UK website, the product has been listed, including specs and everything.
The page with information has been removed, however, there is always Google cache. The Swiss Mediamarkt website also had a similar incident. Both have listed the Asus Zephyrus GX501GI EI005T under its full name, the unit will be fitted with a Core i7-8750H processor. This is the new mobile six-core Coffee Lake-H processor that has a clock of 2.2GHz and the ability to turbo to 4.1 GHz (likely one thread though). This processor has SMT enabled btw, thus it has hyper-threading (12 threads).
The product is listed to be fitted with a GeForce GTX 1080 and it would get a refresh rate of 144Hz and a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. You can also see that the keyboard placement has been shifted upwards closer to the display, that is certainly a change compared to the previous model. We assume it's a Max-Q version. The price on the Swiss retailer site was 3499 Swiss francs, roughly 2969 euros under pre-order.

If LAN parties were still a thing in the U.S. I'd not mind having something like this, but Teamspeak and Steam and such have killed the LAN party, unfortunately. How about in Euro countries? Are LAN parties still popular anywhere?

No such thing as over kill for an enthusiast, at least with a 1080 and 1080p screen means that the laptop should have decent life expectancy before games become unplayable on it. Hate not playing at the native res, 1080p on 4k screen looks horrible.
