I keep my eyes on sales for laptops and gaming-oriented storage and peripherals.
This seems like a bad drop. It doesn't look like a particularly good value. The lowest model doesn't even have an SSD, for $1600 in the year 2017, almost 2018. There always seems to be a price premium with 4K panels, but it's not 4K vs FHD in this price spectrum, it's 4K@60 vs FHD@120. SLI is a deprecated technology with no guaranteed performance increase over a single card, and likely (?) issues with getting that boost in any particular title.
For the most part, I'm confused on how THREE (3) purchases of any of five (5) different (read: not the same) models of gaming laptop constitutes a bulk purchase agreement worthy of getting any sort of deal or sale price from the manufacturer, who more than likely just has these sitting around in a warehouse somewhere.
That's not Massdrop, that's Two-Strangers-and-I-Bought-Three-Different-Things-on-Pseudo-Sale. Come on. What's with that?

DiamondraganCome on dude, it's not a bad drop. Just seems that the lower priced versions are a little dated and the more expensive ones come with a little too much for most, including price. Please show where the highest end titan sli comes within the price range offered here. No offense but this seems a little bit like trying to move some hard to move items. Nothing wrong with that, especially if for a good price. Even the lowest end version with the older cpu is a good $500 off the same build with a 7700. Its up to the person if they want a little bit lower benchmark speed and save $500.
