MSI's latest gaming laptop, the GT80 Titan , has leaked ahead of its impending announcement. This is the first laptop in the world to incorporate a fully mechanical keyboard, built by SteelSeries with Cherry MX Brown switches. Additionally, the laptop is shaping up to be quite the power house as it will feature Nvidia's GTX 900 series mobile graphics chips, which are fairly impressive.
Unnamed sources speaking with KitGuru have revealed that the GT80 Titan will be available in a GTX 980 SLI configuration, making for some serious gaming horsepower under the hood. The maximum RAM intake will likely be 32GB and storage will be provided by an SSD along with a standard mechanical hard drive for mass storage.
As you can see, a compromise has to be made in order to incorporate the mechanical keyboard. The extra space between the screen and keys is required to fit all of the hardware inside, leaving less room for wrist space.
To the right of the keyboard you'll find a hybrid touchpad, which doubles as the trackpad and number pad for the laptop. We don't know exactly what resolution the 18.4 Inch screen will have but it will likely be a full HD display. The laptop will come in at 49.1mm thick and weigh in at 4.5KG.
Price and exact specifications will be revealed with the official announcement.

KitGuru Says: MSI's GT80 Titan laptop is shaping up to be quite the powerhouse. What do you guys think about the inclusion of a mechanical keyboard?
The keybord placement looks ugly, but that is my opinion
It looks weird.
This is by far the ugliest laptop replacement I’ve seen… probably ever.
the keyboard is like the design of a typewriter
but the important thing is the hardware inside not the keyboard itself
the thing may look ugly but boy will it pack a punch :L
wow this is an interesting notebook 🙂
wtf… Yeah uhh… definitely not buying this
Anyone knocking this for its keyboard really needs to give mechanical keyboards a try. Look them up, see why they’re the top of the heap in keyboards. I’ve never wanted a laptop so much in my life. This will most certainly be mine someday.
Why can’t they create a clam-shell screen so they can make the keyboard at least a BIT normal looking.
i never liked the the empty space in front of the keyboard on laptops so this is actually a Design i really like.
And all the people saying “this is ugly” remember: the classic layout is what we have been seeing for the last 20 years, i wrote my Facharbeit (German Highschool Final essay) on one of the first Apple laptops, so you are just used to it. And just like human nature is you reject alien looking things 😉
BTW my wrist were aching badly after writing the essay for a month on that stupid macbook, would have been better with the keyboard at the front 😉
Where is the mouse supposed to go?
The built in mouse that is, if it even has one.
Expensive + ugly.
ugliest laptop. kill it with fire.
