Honestly?  Never get a powerful laptop.  Always go for size/ergonomics/battery life.
15" screen, 7 hour battery life.

15 inch is too big. Get a 12 inch with a 10+ battery life.  You'll be surprised at how heavy 15 inch laptops are.

Eh.  My current laptop is either 15 or 17.  I like the moderate big screen.

Nice. Your CPU is a bit better than my desktop CPU, and everything else is a lot better than my desktop haha.

Well, the 1060≈970.  
But, it's actually better than my desktop too...  
Actually I think our desktops are fairly similar, iirc.  You, me and Tacos i thinkI think built similar beasts.  Except I think Tacos got 2x 970's.

Funnily enough, my math independent study this semester might be what pushes my computer the most this semester.

Matlab or something else?

Matlab or something else?
This one is open to whatever I want to use.  

Might end up using Matlab for a physics assignment, though.

My 15 inch was hurting my back in University ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eh, I'm used to carrying too many books.  
To be honest, I'm blown away by how light this laptop is.

New laptop is so much better than I expected.  

The case looks great and very solid.  Great hardware, and the cooling system seems solid.  Lighter than I expected.  Mouse is kinda cool, but eh.  

Literally my only complaint is that the charge box is a little big.
