Game like God GT 80 from MSI
Gamers have long known that even the best keyboard on a gaming laptop will never equal a bona fide mechanical keyboard. But this was a necessary tradeoff in the name of portability. No longer.
MSI is ushering in a new era with the GT80 Titan SLI ($5,299 starting price), one of the first gaming laptops to feature a mechanical keyboard. Throw in a powerful Core i7 processor, a pair of Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M GPUs in SLI and the ability to upgrade later, and you've got the desktop replacement that gamers deserve. The laptop's black brushed-aluminum lid is extremely elegant. I love the pair of bright red chrome darts that play up car hood comparisons. The red backlit Gaming Series emblem and MSI logo also add a nice touch of understated bling.
When I opened the laptop, I was greeted by a red, backlit mechanical keyboard guarded by a majestic dragon. The keyboard occupies the space where one would usually find the palm rest, leaving a seemingly empty aluminum panel on top. A glowing red LED strip separates the keyboard from the top portion of the deck. Buttons for power, GPU and fan speed sit directly above the digital trackpad, which has been shifted to the right of the keyboard. The Titan's rear and undercarriage are constructed from black magnesium alloy. The vents, designed to look like the rear end of a powerful muscle car, gave me visions of racing on a closed track at breakneck speed.
Gaming and Graphics
MSI GT80 gaming laptop equipped its massive, 18.4-inch beast with not one, but two Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M GPUs in SLI configuration, with 16GB of VRAM between them. Linking the two cards together into a single output raises the processing power of the cards to absurd levels. That means you can run nearly any game on Ultra settings, and the Titan won't flinch.
Ports and fast USB3.0
You'll find a pair of USB 3.0 ports on the right side of the GT80, with another three on the left. The laptop also has a tray-loading Blu-Ray burner, a 3-in-1 card reader, S/PDIF, jacks for a mic and a headphone, and a security lock slot.
