Where did you see such a laptop? I checked nvidias live blog of the keynote, no word on that.

He was showing off the asus rog zephers. I tried to screen shot, was crazy thin.

Thanks guys. Nvidia Max-Q sounds like woodoo magic to me. Fitting a 1080 in a laptop which only could handle a 1060 without thermal or noise issues sounds way to good to be true. If it is, i will start saving up for one of those beasts!

WTF happened MSI? Your design used to be, well at least quite decent. These boards look like something from the early 2000's with LED's on them. Seriously, what is going on with that football looking heatsink on the first board? These are all X299 boards, and will NOT be cheap. Yet they look like cheap chinese knock offs of ugly old motherboards. And their 1080ti looks like a chinese knock off of the Asus Strix.

 

Did MSI get a new design department? Or new leadership? What is going on?

I'm a MSI fan but will have to agree with you there. That soccer ball/Tony Start MB is a bit much. The M7 ACK looks the most sensible but than you remember is X299 and the price and sensible just shouldn't be accepted at those prices. 

 

Than again, haven't seen one X299 MB that I think looks good so far.

Them purple and orange leds on the m7 ack looks like a pair of eyes and fangs. And them green leds are the claws.

Do we have RGB HDD/SSD and Cables? Something like cables lighting up when the system draws X amounts of power! Also don't forgett RGB dust fillters!

OMG In-Win your cases are beautiful, remember when they use to be plastic ricer cases.

Use some wood stain or something.

And there's a crooked shield to the left of that ball.

Wait, why do you need a 8 core in a NAS? Sure the idle power consuption of Ryzen is very good, but 4 cores should realy be enougth, IMHO.

Our current qnap has issues when running multiple background applications at the same time, EG cloud backup + virus scan + snapshot dublication. This is solved by having the task be performed at different schedules, but I imagine this isnt an option for other companies. An 8 core likely alleviates this limitation.

If I had to guess, I'd say that they're preparing to jump into the lucrative garden gnome & pink plastic flamingo scene and want some product synergy.  But only for the premium front yard overclockers.

 

At 1st I was scratching my head on the 1700 QNAP, then after reading a few posts came to realize that my "network flow" is only the way it is because my NAS has a POS ARM processor.  Wouldn't mind taking a peek inside that QNAP.  If I were to have a NAS that is evermore relied upon for processing, then I had better be able to service it and even replace the CPU should it fritz out.

[Belgarathian]

Yeah, I'm down for the Ryzen 1700 QNAP. I have the TS-451 Pro, but the J1900 doesn't cut it for virtualisation & transcoding x265.

a great use for a ryzen based NAS is Plex. I had a NAS with a crappy CPU and it would just barely handle transcoding 1 stream, when my windows server can handle ~4 streams at once (Xeon D-1541)

Yeah the Ryzen based QNAP seems very interesting. Now that we can get high perf. CPU's that doesn't cost a kidney and your first born, it's all of the sudden, possible to make other devices very powerful. This is why competition is so crucial for us consumers.

Judging by NVIDIA's graphs, the GTX 1080 in a MAX-Q laptop isn't even getting double the performance of a GTX 1060. So there's a lot of sacrifices being made here.

 

But still, they managed to get the GeForce 10 series to work in both laptops and desktops without much in the way of a performance difference. So maybe unicorns do exist.

Still im pretty sure the QNAP is going cost a far bit ... just have look at their i3 QNAP pricing now, it cheaper to buy a parts and have even bigger expansion if you go with bigger case.
