Looking for a 17.3" i7 laptop with SSD, around $1,100 (ideally with Windows 10)

I'm looking for a laptop with:

a 17.3" screen,
an i7 processor,
and an SSD.
Ideally:
-An IPS panel if possible.
-Windows 10 if I can find it... if not, Linux or whatever else works.

Under $2500

So far, I've found these options:

ASUS F756UX-T4054D laptop, 17.3" FHD, i7-6500U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR3, 500GB HDD + 128GB SSD, 950M 4GB, DVDRW, DOS
Does this have an IPS screen?
-It's DOS. 6,$166 for $333 I'll just install Windows.


ACER Aspire E5-774G NX.GEDEU.006 black (Localization: Canadian)
Does it have an IPS screen? And what does "Canadian localization" actually mean?

+128GB SSD + 1TB HDD

-Linux

Acer Aspire E5-774G-76KE notebook, NX.GEDEX.047, 17.3" FHD, Intel Core i7-7500U up to 3.5GHz, 12GB DDR3, 512GB SSD, Nvidia
Is there an IPS screen on this one?
-Linux

HP ProBook 470 G4 Intel Core i7 7500U 2.70GHz 8GB 256GB SSD DVDRW DL Windows 10 Pro 17.3" FullHD Nvidia GeForce 930 MX 2 2GB P/N: Y8A89EA
Does it have an IPS screen?


+ FHD IPS
Doesn't have an SSD, just an HSSD (basically an 8GB SSD paired with an HDD)
-
Keyboard Layout Portuguese??? What's the big deal?
Windows 8.1

I don't really get this one:
Lenovo Rethink Silver Y70-70 i7-4710HQ/16GB/256S/FHD/MT/MB/GC/B/C/W81 UK keyboard - US localization, 17.3" 1920x1080, Intel HD Graphics 4400, ext DVDRW, Nvidia GeForce GTX 860m, 4GB, Multi-Touch, glare, IPS
-Windows 8.1.
+ IPS Touch screen

What do all these abbreviations mean? "256S FHD MT MB GC B C W81"
w81 = Windows 8.1
FHD = full HD
MT?
MB?
GC?
C?

Which one should I go with? Any others I missed?

Thoughts? Advice? Suggestions? Requests?

The i7 models are actually dual-core chips with a lower TDP. This i5, on the other hand, is a quad-core, which makes it significantly more powerful, though I suppose it does pull more power too.
