I have plans on grabbing one of those as well. Especially when Vega (AMD's new GPU) rolls around as I suspect the price will be lower than what it is now.
These are the only ones I have at the moment:

GTX 1080 (Laptop)
GTX 780 Ti (Desktop)
I don't have a graphics card.

I use integrated Intel HD Graphics 530. They sure do suck!

Yet where I live even so-called mid-range graphics cards are priced at over $500 in my currency.

So my choices are either to stick with terrible integrated graphics, or else be extorted when I buy a graphics card. I think I'll stick to the former option for at least several more months.

An 7870 HD Ghz Edition, with 2 gigs of memory. Delivers middling performance for NuDOOM and other modernish games.

I am hoping that the RX Vega series would have a decent offering. Guess we would starting seeing if that is the case in a couple of days. If I do pick up a fresh card, I guess the ol' 7870 is going to find a forgotten corner to rot in.
I'm the (somewhat) proud owner of a Nvidia 540M... and it's still quite ok for most of the games I'm playing. Surprisingly so - I for one would give it a medal. Dragon Age Origins purrs like a kitten maxed out and The Witcher 2 had some minor sluggishness until I upgraded my CPU from an i3 to an i7, but now it's smooth as silk. Yeah, you got that right, I upgraded my CPU on a laptop... but they don't make them like they used to any more, now 99% of laptops use BGA instead of PGA so the CPU's soldered on, hell they've even started to solder the RAM memory. Soon enough they'll be soldering the HDDs :|.

They already do that for the HDD's on low end laptops, and make no mistake, sometimes they don't even leave you the option to add a normal one either. Soldered on memory is a cancer upon laptops, I even saw it on some mid-high range Lenovo.

Last year I was fortunate enough to buy a small 10.1" Acer laptop that came with a normal hard disk and 1 slot of ram bank (came with 2GB). It is now sporting 8GB ram and I can even do some light gaming with it. Needless to say choosing the right laptop can be a minefield of sorts.
GTX 1080
Gtx 750 ti. Got it pretty cheap, and it's powerful enough to run anything I have in my game library. And since I am still on i3 3.6 ghz I don't feel the need to buy better card

True, but I'm not talking about low-cost flash-memory storage only netbooks here (indeed those have been around for years) - my fear is that sooner or later we'll get soldered M.2 SSDs on high end laptops as well :|. And, as it usually goes with soldered parts, they won't be top notch components from market leading manufacturers either.

When I buy a laptop, while I don't expect to have the amount of upgrade options I'd have on a PC, I'm not expecting to buy a SoC either. The way I see it laptops are becoming even less upgradable then SoCs which are getting more and more modular and extendable with pluggable additions.

EVGA GTX 970 SC.
I have an old Radeon HD5450 that is still chugging along :)

Thankfully I prefer playing older and less graphics-demanding games, so upgrading is not an issue until it dies.
