Sniff, that's a Maxwell chip not Pascal. But it came out early 2016 so perhaps early 2017 we will see a G4 with Kaby Lake and Pascal quad core. Would be nice.

Is there a substantial difference? This is a development laptop so I only cared about it being able to push enough pixels.
Perhaps there's a difference for gamers?
Largely depends on whether you want 3D performance or not (that's not only for gamers). The performance/watt ratio is significantly higher on Pascal.
