    Impressive, if it lives up to expectations that is.

    Don't know if it's just the way they've shot it for the promo pics, but the backlighting looks horrendous!

    Having a mechanical keyboard on a Gaming laptop sounds awesome to me!

    It'll definitely be better than Chiclet, that's for sure! Chiclets are great for every day use and saves space, but mechanical keys on a laptop? May be overkill, may be awesome.

    Re: News - MSI unveils mechanical keyboard equipped GT80 gaming laptop

    One of the best design ideas they've had is to move the keyboard to the front edge of the laptop case, and not leaving it floating at the back near the monitor. That'll make the built in keyboard infinitely more useable on a flat surface.

    No one's talking about the lack of a touchpad?

    If it is a good as it looks might actually go for one, switching from razer blackwidow.

    The numpad is a touchpad with numpad keys drawn on.

    Would have preferred they use Cherry ML or similar. That way they might have managed a touchpad and a mech numpad. Nice idea. Looks like version 1.0 of the idea. I wish Cherry would realise the gold mine they would have if they cracked modern day laptop keyboard slimness with some mech goodness.
