I would like to know if you have any particularly strong reasons for objecting to my choice ( e.g., if I am wrong about something and it's very bad) and veering away towards one of the other choices mentioned. I've posted reviews below in order of preference along with some reasons for such preference, so that you may compare and contrast my reasons with those in the review.
The specs may diverge in the review but you should know that all of them basically feature an i7, GTX1070, 16 GB RAM and an SSD.
My criteria for judgement:
Task being used for: Primary - gaming. Secondary - programming/engineering/CAD applications.
Budget:N/A
Country:Slovenia
Portability: Preferred to be portable but may be able to leave it on desk more often unless required.
Playing games (which): Yes. Latest AAA releases.
Battery: Preferred user removable/replaceable and most efficient/long-lasting/lifetime battery possible (secondary to specs for gaming) in case of use away from desk.
Expected Lifetime of Laptop: Don't know. Not a frequent buyer. Will use it till it dies but more probably once every AAA release becomes completely unplayable even at lowest settings. Happened to be ~5-6 years for my current machine.
User-Serviceable: Yes. An important part of me using the machine forever means that I should be able to replace the thermal paste if needed and clean dust from the fans, among other things.
Keyboard: Standard English Qwerty Keyboard with all the keys being present and well sized.
Accessories: Mouse should go on the right hand side.
Note that most don't meet all criteria but I have stated my reasons for why I prefer such

Portable is a huge plus. Good thing if a laptop can be a laptop and I did not see much difference compared to the others in performance and especially fears of temperatures being higher due to less space. Also seems slightly user-serviceable (you can open it up to see the motherboard with CPU, GPU, fans and everything)

Possibly user-serviceable but may have crude make. It was initially second in my list but I may not consider it due to the lack of quality in materials.
Definitely user-serviceable according to review but also has issues with throttling and temperatures.

Commenting on the above two together since they are pretty much the same. Sturdy and big ****ing laptops (4+ Kg). They have a CD drive so that is sort of a plus. Otherwise, I need to get an external one for the other ones. But its not enough to warrant being further up in the list. That and they require complete disassembly to service. The Asus is above because it performs better but it also has a weird design which does not allow it to fit into standard bags.

Not sold on this. Put this in the list just because I was making a list. It has 64 GB RAM but has no other discernible advantage over the others, is a big ****ing laptop and does not really seem worth the 3000 Euros it costs.
I'd like to add that I've discussed this issue elsewhere and I can't make up my mind between the GL702VS and the GL502VS. The 15" one is lighter, smaller i.e. can fit in places. The 17" is heavier but only by 0.3 Kg and has better CPU i.e. i7-7700HQ.
Though the real point of contention is because people give me contradicting points. The reviews say the GL702VS has heating and throttling issues whereas people I've been discussing with elsewhere say GL502VS does. I just don't know who is right!
Can you guys please help me decide?
Also, I can only choose from these, since they are the only ones available for retail in stores in my region and I get a tax rebate when purchasing here, so it would be much cheaper for me to just buy retail here instead of online order, in case somebody would like to suggest that.
I may consider online orders, however, if the suggested machine has minimal shipping costs, arrives soon (leaving in about a month for a few years) and has payment on arrival, I may consider it.
And before it is mentioned, Airline travel means I can only use laptops.
Thank you!
