Fixing the "Enthusiast Laptop"

[Not_Sean]

So while watching @LinusTech review Ryan, (MSI Titan) I though about my own experiences with the "Gamer" laptop, now not talking about a mid range dell with a dGPU in it or the Razers/Slim gaming/Ultra portable 

 

I've come up with a bit of an idea... Ditch the Keyboard and Mouse.. Now now put down the pitchforks and keep reading, Its got a idea  

 

I've got a MSI GE60 and its a bit heavy and battery life isn't really amazing even just watching videos never mind firing up that dGPU for a game. When I've used it as a portable gaming rig to go Game at a mates house with my backpack i've always had my KB+mouse and laptop stand with me, They all fit in my backback with my headphones as well. and its been pretty great for portable gaming. So my idea was.. wait why not just Ditch the KB, trackpad and hell prob even the Battery to a large extent. 

I like the idea of a Screen+Computer in laptop size with a bit more space they can dedicate to cooling but I and I know i'm not alone here will always take my keyboard with me as its Mech and Mech is life  I know you would say well just go build a ITX system and call it a day but honestly the idea of a screen+computer in the exact laptop form factor is really appealing. and this would only be for the Enthusiast's around here. 

 

but what you think, and do the guys with the Big dedicated Gaming laptops ever actually use the battery or is it just on battery while you setup the power brick.. and for gaming wouldn't you much rather just use a dedicated kb and get better performance and lower noise out of the system ? 

 

*Ps Linus.. just build one, like the triple screen

TL:DR Ditch the Keyboard, Trackpad as gamers will always use their own and give it better cooling and lighter.. maybe even built in stand to elevate the screen.

"Enthusiast Laptop" is imho an oxymoron.
