This! Why design this amazing display and put such an awful GPU inside? The GTX1000 series performs way better (especially GPGPU professional apps), is more power efficient and has only a minor price difference. At this price it is a deal breaker for me. And I'm like exactly their target audience for this.

If you are concerned with graphics performance, you are not their target market.

Do you guys actually know designers and illustrators? Seriously.

I suspect this computer took a while to develop and the 1080 wasn't available at that time.

That's next year's upgrade. This year it's the feature screen, next year it's the performance boost. Keep that marketing department ticking over.
