That's a damn shame. I was looking forward to new laptop in 14" form with nvidia 1060 and strong battery. Damn. XPS then?

Seems to be a mixed situation. I've got a Razer Blade and have bee quite happy with it so far, other than a few small driver issues under Linux that would be fixable if I spent a little bit more time on it.
I ended up on a much more expensive Surface Book. I gave Razer a shot, but the screen was jacked up right out of the gate. Real shame.. the machine is beautiful.
I really really want that 1060.
Gigabyte Aero has similar specs, not as expensive but also not as fancy looking. Can't vouch for it first-hand, but I do intend to go with one.
If you can step down to GTX 965M the Surface Book is a very nice piece of hardware.
It's really unfortunate you have to step down from a 1060 to a 965M but step up over $1k in price.
