Laptop for mobile editing advice?

I want a laptop (windows) so I can meet with clients to show stuff and also be able to do some on-location editing when needed.
Since I am primarily using Adobe CS6 but also have Vegas 14, I am concerned with this newer tech supporting my old software.
Will it install ok on WIN10Pro? Seems WIN7pro is becoming non-existant.
Will CUDA acceleration be supported on these newer graphics cards?

Here is one example I've configured.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 - VR Ready - [GF72]
1 x Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ Mobile Processor (4x 2.8GHz/6MB L3 Cache) - [GF72]

The footage I mostly work with is 1080P AVCHD, 4K UHD DJI 60 mb/ss, 4K mp4 150mb/s, 1080P ProRes, 4K ProRes

I don't have an answer for you, but I'm also interested in a portable editing machine. I've been looking at the Gigabyte Aero 15 and Dell XPS - I'm coming from a MBP and am interested in performance, batt life, screen quality, build quality, and reliability.
 
I've never heard of Malibal. But the laptop looks to check many boxes - from processor to GPU to LCD to sound to battery.

Best I'd found up to now was the Gigabyte Aero 15. I was about to buy one but had read several posts about teething issues, and required repairs. I'm in Central America so just shipping it to the US is a $300+ exercise.
