Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition

Only Apple's top end machines ship with a Nvidia card now and in my experience those same machines have quite serious overheating problems.

Thinkpad's T series fits some of your bill but I doubt the screen is high density enough.

PS - I must be the only person on earth who thinks the user experience with 1080p is better than super-high resolution. Currently most operating systems (Windows, Linux, and OS X to a degree) suck at high DPI so your fonts and UI elements shrink as the resolution increases.

Apple has "thinned" the MBP line several times since then. I had a 2014 Nvidia model and it over-heated like crazy, in particular in Windows.

ok fair. my colleague has 2014 rmbp 15 with nvidia and he plays games on it too, all in os x though. never had any issues with heating.

maybe its windows compatibility issue
