GTX 1080 in an ULTRABOOK??

if only that thing had hardware I know won't throttle (it's possible the current hardware doesn't throttle, but I doubt it), and a normal trackpad/keyboard layout... mmm

well I can't buy it even at half the price, so I don't know why I'm even thinking about it :P

I do really like that internal design tho. very nice position for all the eye-catching components

The keyboard/mouse layout is stupid. If I have this thing on a table, I need to STRETCH MY ARM over the keyboard and possibly hit keys to use the mouse?

That's fucking unintuitive, not everybody has a mouse with them 24 seven.. 

idk

Who cares about the trackpad? Just use a mouse. Keyboard? Please...just use a mechanical keyboard. Display? pshhhh....you're going to use an external monitor anyway. battery life? what.....do you not have electricity where you live? Hell, just give me a desktop, laptops are silly. 

 

Honestly if I would buy this to play on a desk to a keyboard and mice I'd just buy a desktop already with a superior CPU and GPU and Memory and Screen for the same pricing.

 

I don't get the whole mobile gaming deal, but I'm already grown up, I work and study/college the entire day, the little free time I have to play should I want I have no issues going to my personal desk in my bedroom, while a simple i5 6200u laptop is enough for both college and work and much better movile communicating/browsing device to have indoors than a smartphone.

 

For people like me there is no room nor justification for these gaming notebooks/ultraboooks.

I agree, but some people like gaming notebooks and gaming ultrabooks just sound so good (until you realize they're not).

Decent concept, crappy battery, screen and trackpad. I'm genuinely curious to see how this thing performs, I'd like to see a manufacturer actually succeed at creating a good cooling system for once. I'm intrigued by Razer's and now Acer's low profile laptop mechanical keyboards, I really need to try one out.

"Nvidia needs to stop calling everything GeForce" would probably be more fitting

"Titan cards are not gaming" - nVidia

looks on dxdiag: GeForce GTX TITAN X

@LinusTech why you're hyped about an overklockable intel cpu in a laptop intel launched the i7-6820HK in Q3 2015. it has overklock support and there are still laptops abailabe using that cpu (and the new gen version of it)

Why do you think he was talking about the CPU?

It's not my fault that companies constantly misuse their own names/classes for products xD
