I mean, the keyboard is like a foot away from the screen. That's gonna be a bitch to use.With a laptop of this size, you put it on a table. I have an alienware m18x, and the thickness of it with the keyboard close to the screen makes it uncomfortable to use on a desk. When I get home I just plug it into my screens and red switch keyboard. Sure, this laptop may not be good for lap use, but I don't think it's meant for it, especially judging by the track pad that's there for pure function purpose. muh specs Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0 ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat All parts black Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays Screens- 3 ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it.

Posted October 29, 2014 This looks strange. I likey. Though, are there pictures of the laptop folded up? We all need a daily check-up from the neck up to avoid stinkin' thinkin' which ultimately leads to the hardening of attitudes. - Zig Ziglar The sad fact about atheists is that they stand for nothing while standing against things that have brought much good to the world. Now ain't that sad. - Anonymous Replace fear with faith and fear will disappear. - Billy Cox ......................................Also, Legalism, Education-bred Arrogance and Hubris-based Assumption are BULLSHIT.

Posted October 29, 2014 my personal tought on it aren't very releavent since i never tryed mech kb but i'm a bit afraid that having a kb that close and a screen that far could be a bit uncomfortable, over the fact that there is no palm rest (like Shadow Captain said) and the space above could have been used for an even more different look, like a custom plate that you can put there, or even a window to see hardware through some people also talked about a 2nd screen there, but could be tricky to make it still openeable to acces hardware + need a screen with good vision angles A laptop with a window and a black pcb would be awsome!!
