Still gonna be another year before I grab a new lappy, but I'm glad to see that I won't be hindered by some "M" form of gpu, if I choose to grab one of these.
with a battery life of 1 hour

You jest but my GTX 770M laptop literally does have a one hour battery life
I'm glad the mobile chips aren't getting fucked anymore, I might actually buy a laptop again in the light of this
When it comes to laptops with top-of-the-shelf gaming hardware, don't really expect long battery charge time - it's usually impossible for a battery alone to even properly power up that hardware, most of the times it clocks it down. These laptops are more for the ability to carry them around, and plug into a wall socket @ a friend's apartment, school, dorm, whatnot, not really playing on-the-go.

they are still in a ways the mobile versions of the gtx 1000 series, but a lot closer to the desktop gpus.

Laptops finally transcending beyond being pretty much just small low spec desktops is what we need tbh
for the longest time laptop gaming has been a huge joke to me, but now it's finally like, a thing that actually really works out
the smaller the gap between laptops and desktops the better
I'll be honest, I literally never use a laptop on battery. Battery life doesn't phase me when it comes to performance.

My laptop can switch between GPU and Integrated Graphics with the push of a button, the GPU eats my battery about 60% faster than without

imo, if you want a laptop with more than 1 hour of battery life, you buy an ultrabook/macbook/something that doesn't have a desktop GPU in it.

yeah, as I said, it's pretty much impossible - the battery is unable to supply the GPU with enough juice by itself, so it underclocks it pretty heavily. And in most of the cases I've had experience with - integrated GPU works way, way better than a dedicated GPU on a battery.

Oh yeah this as well, my laptop has Nvidia Optimus so when it is running on the battery it will always run everything at a locked 25-30 FPS while on net-power it will run at a unlocked FPS

yeah, realistically just not doable at least with something 1060 class or above. Maybe? with 1050 or a potential 1040. Intel integrated is more than good enough for anything non gaming though, so battery life on these notebooks while not super like like ULV spec computers will still be OK.
