MSI Unveils World's First Gaming Laptop With a Mechanical Keyboard
MSI Computer Corp, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions, unveils the GT80 Titan, the world's first gaming laptop with a mechanical keyboard.
First of its kind, MSI's GT80 Titan ushers the future of gaming by integrating a SteelSeries gaming keyboard with Cherry Brown MX switches into the 18-inch gaming beast. Mechanical keyboards provide superior tactile feedback, increases durability, and enhances overall gaming experience by eliminating key jamming even during the most heated battle sessions."Performance is key for gamers and the GT80 Titan will forever change the mobile gaming experience," says Andy Tung, president of MSI Pan America. "We are proud to be at the forefront of the gaming evolution and will continue to provide solutions that deliver the most outstanding gaming experience in the world."
MSI's newest gaming laptop uses standard Cherry switches and a standard keycap with 27 mm of thickness, nearly 5 times of traditional laptop keyboards. It is also the world's slimmest and lightest 18-inch gaming laptop, measuring 17% thinner and 22% lighter than its closest competitor. To fully optimize the keyboard, the GT80 Titan features an enhanced SteelSeries Engine with CloudSync, allowing users to save and synchronize settings via SteelSeries cloud storage.
"The GT80 Titan blends the performance of a high-end gaming desktop with the mobility of a laptop," adds Tung.

That dragon is GROSS!!!!!
CPU/GPU/RAM are probably all in that empty section above the keyboard. looks like some speakers might be at the top edge too.
Inside: ultrabook components... outside doblecheesburger size.
All of my mech keyboard are much heavier than any membrane keyboard I've used. I like that for a 'desktop' keyboard, but on a laptop which you'd get for mobility, maybe not so much. That said, this laptop would probably be very heavy regardless. I wonder how they got it to be "22% lighter" than competing models...
It's an 18" gaming laptop so it's a desktop replacement not a real mobile laptop. It's thick, large so regardless of how heavy it is it doesn't travel easily and will likely require the power brick to lug around which is likely a large power brick not something tiny that fits easily into places. So if you're lugging this thing around to play games you're probably lugging it around in a backpack which could instead easily fit a nicer 60% mech keyboard and your gaming mouse and mousepad.
This product is solving problems that don't exist.
The simple fact is that if someone want to game on their laptop, they'll probably need to be carrying around something that weighs this much but in the grand scheme of things, this laptop weighs less than desktop replacements in the past so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.
