Thank you MSI! Always nice to see a new 18" flagship notebook.
Now maybe ASUS can get of their bum bum and make a W90 sucessor! :thumbsup: -
I would like to see Gigabyte come out with an 18" Laptop!
1 gpu with 120mm Fans
would buy it yesterday!

Hey I would do the same for some hands on time, just wish there was more detailed info about specs.
Would love to see the power brick on this monster. -
You guys can check out some new pictures of the GT80 at the MSI Beat It Event on the Facebook Page here: MSI Gaming Facebook

Kevin your inbox is full.. I can't send you a reply -
I also wonder what the purpose of all the area above the keyboard is. It doesn't seem to do anythingKaozm likes this. -

I think it would be best with a 120hz 1440p 18" display if they could get one manufactured. You get the extra resolution, it's not too small and you can use the GPUs. It would be hard for a relatively small run though.

Would imagine myself gaming and maintaining internals at the same time lol! -

Personally, I do not find the GT80's overall appearance, particularly inviting, but I am not going to pass judgments based on this alone. What will really be important, is how it's equipped, how it performs, and can it do so quietly with good temps.

Yeah this thing is BEEAUTIFUL!! But i will probably.. Probably find it to expensive..
Edit: Actually, they could have made a clip on handle! so we could cary it like a briefcase!!With! and aditional leather sleeve! talk about looking professional!

There is very little information on the GT80 right now that most videos end up doing silly comparisons. The sheer size and confirmed hardware already should speak about the relative price and performance it offers. Obviously comparing it to a single GPU solution will be ridiculous haha.
People hate on the appearance mainly because it is different than most notebooks. I can certainly understand that, and it does catch the eye, when you notice it isn't distributed as you know.
Personally... I love the design and I think it looks really goodBut now I am in patience mode because it seems it will be until january that we get any real info!
And Striker... you know you want a GT80-=$tR|k3r=- and Kaozm like this. -

Why to wait - get a Eurocom X7 with 980M SLI and 5x SSD, 4940MX :wub:

Just to chime in on the appearance. I dont think that should really even matter for the market this notebook is made for which is high end gaming. When gaming I sure hope you're not looking at the notebook itself rather then the screen.
Plus the mechanical keyboard should be great, I have one here and at home and would hate to type on anything else. Especially considering how my I type each day.Kaozm and jcoltrane123 like this. -

Glad you brought up that Hutsady! I'm currently using a Func KB-460, which is a really great keyboard and the best build quality i have tested (better than Mionix and Corsair!) and it is very thin/flat. And have a really clean layout + pulsing backlight
I have only encountered one problem, is that the BKSP/Delete, would hang up some times/ get stuck down, it uses costar's stabilizers so i guess it would loosen up eventualy, kinda already did.
The one i currently got has cherry mx red, i have tried Blue,brown and black.. How do you rate between Red and blue?
Would i regret going back to blue? (black widdow, noisy and bad build in the first place)
Between Brown and blue, i did imo find blue to have a better click, like it felt more reliable in some way..
I am a fast typer, but i actually am a little scared on writing on the red as it is so easy to misstype a letter to much, on the other hand on black and maybe brown/blue, i would sometimes go to fast and miss a letter on the way..! much more on the black's tho..
Any oppinions?
I would say this is off-topic.. but in a way it is not, so i welcome answers!!

I kinda miss blues! Bluues
I have great hopes for the blues(brothers) on the KB-460, it is the most silen one with red i tried!
And btw, i think Brown mx was the right choice for the GT80! -
Any new news about this laptop?

Not for now, it's still going to be a bit before we get full details most likely.

Honestly, I'm more interested in what MSI is going to do with their GS30. Seems legit.
However...
Most gamers use external keyboard and mouse already--so the last tough mobile area is the screen. What about a slim, 980M SLI "laptop" with a flippable screen? Put a usable keyboard on it for when you need it, and then you can flip the screen around, plug in your peripherals and go from there?
Also, I'm wondering why these companies (Lenovo, Alienware) are trying to make console-sized gaming PC's with desktop-grade GPUs that really aren't adequate (750 Ti? really?). You could make a super-slim, mobile CPU/GPU platform that would still beat the crap out of those (A SINGLE 980m beats a 750Ti) and all consoles in a much slimmer package. Basically this laptop without any peripherals, slice it in half and stack it. -
I think 2x980 and highest intel cpu .. the laptop will be metal and plastic mash melt once u start gaming !!

Just found out CLEVO is coming out with the P750ZM/P770ZM series that uses desktop CPU's but with a single GTX 980m, a desktop CPU would have been a perfect combo for the GT80 in SLI.
Wish MSI used this setup, it's a missed opportunity to really have something special. -
I suppose Clevo chassis allows all kinds of combinations, it's up to the builder what to offer; Eurocom mobile servers offer max i7 - 4960X or a truckload of Xeons in combination with SLI (2x 100W) cards.
-
Any chance there would be a 3K/4K option for the laptop ? That would really make it the perfect machine for me.

Let's keep the topic on track
console-computers are a whole subject we can cover in another topic once MSI decides to launch their own version haha
-
But yeah, having the option for desktop CPU would be very interesting for such a large machine. I would definitely go for a 5820k versioneven if the external PSU tended up over 400W hahaha.
-
Agreed but mobile CPU's still might bottleneck the GT80 in SLI, a desktop CPU not likely depending on choice.

A 49xx class mobile cpu won't be a bottle neck in the vast majority of cases.

According to the video in this article, the MSI rep says the GT80 will have a "Extreme" Core i7.

Geez, haven't we already had this discussion about mobile CPU bottlenecks? I thought we were well beyond this...... WHO brought this up again?
Oooooooo, EXTREME processor, Thanks for sharing Keith! (GAWD, I WANT ONE..... GAWD, I'M GETTING ONE! It's on now!)

This would also seem to imply, Intel will no longer restrict MSI to the HQ processor, in this class of notebook. I'm glad somebody finally woke-up!
