All that hardware and only a 60Hz panel.

Two GTX 980m cards for 60 Hz?  LOL!  That is stupid.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Yup! Those 980Ms are gonna be bottlenecked by the internal display.

Thats so bigggg

my laptop is heavier and I use it just fine. It's not meant to go on your lap. 

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. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

If i'm allow a small opinion,I don't mind the heat beneat my palms,I would have prefered to have the keyboard in the normal laptop position and the slot with all the drives and the RAM to be the hand rest,that way you could have made better use of the space.

the problem is the area there is much thicker than the keyboard. It would have made the keyboard recessed in the laptop, and gave the laptop an inch lip, at least. I own an Alienware (I know, yuck) m18x. It's 12 pounds, and has the same size of charger. It's also 18.4 inches, and I love that. I actually use it like a laptop, and I really like the size. BUT the lip makes this one of the worst typing experiences around, and it's not just because the keyboard is crummy. I can type much faster on my old 14 inch laptop than this thing. 

If money were no object I'd buy the titan in a heartbeat for this reason alone. Believe it or not, my alienware is the machine I do most of my work on. I game on my desktop.

Fair enough,and I guess the only way around that would be to give the space on the keyboard and extra inch of space just to compensate,then again in a laptop this thick I don't think it would be such a big deal.

 

Also another suggestion would be to make the slot in the top tool less,or to have the screws on the top,having 2 screws on the bottom to take it out must be something a little bit anoyying.

This kind of stupid stuff is exactly why I love MSI. Nobody else can come up with such a daft idea and then actually put it into production.

Can't wait for that GS30 Shadow review.
