MSI GT80 2QE-033US compared to GT80 Titan SLI-009

What is the difference in these two Titan GT80's?
Theirs a $400 difference but I have no idea what is different,
I'm planning on buying it sometime but don't want to pay $400 for something that is exactly the same as the other at a lower price but if the one GT80 is better I'd be willing to pay the difference, Heres the link...You may have to copy and paste as I don't know how to make a link properly,

Hi DarnedNut,
Both models at your link look identical. I've seen this kind of thing before where a vendor lists the same product twice by accident, each with a different price. My guess is one is an older listing that they forgot to delete when they created the newer one.
I've bought a lot of stuff from Newegg and continue to use them. But I'm cautious with them because I've seen them make these kind of mistakes before and I'd hesitate to place such a big purchase with them because of it.
My company purchased its GT80 Titan-001 from Xotic PC of Lincoln, Nebraska. The GT80 Titan-009 that you're interested in is way over-priced at Newegg. They are asking more than MSI's own MSRP! That seems like gouging to me.
Here is the listing for the exact same computer at Xotic PC: http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt80-titan009-980m-sli-bbackorderb-p-7869.html. Their price is US$3699.00 which is almost $501 less than the best price at Newegg!!! Xotic PC has outstanding support and I highly recommend them. (And I'm not affiliated with them in any way and will receive no benefit from this recommendation.)
Plus, Xotic PC will customize the GT80 in a variety of ways, if you desire. We had them move the two 128 GB M.2 SSDs from slots 1-2 to slots 3-4 and install two new 512 GB M.2 SSDs from Micron to slots 1-2. We also had them downgrade the OS to Windows 7 Ultimate using one of our unused licenses. And they configured two custom RAID arrays to our specification. They did an excellent job.
Kind regards, David

GT80 SLI-009 TOUCHPAD

I am having trouble with the one touch switch with my new GT80 Titan SLI-009 notebook. I have used it numerous times just holding on the upper left corner of the touch pad to switch between the touch and numeric keypad. There is a favorite game, Arma 3, that really needs the enter key of the number pad to switch views. There is not much as far as documentation with this machine so if there is a hot key or anyone have an idea please let me know.
Thanks

I guess that's the design of GT80 , but you can also set shortcut key from SSE(Steel series engine).

GT80 Titan SLI - pushing back technological boundaries in new and exciting ways

Another GT80 review to share with you guys, this one's from the UK media, the Eurogamer.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-msi-gt80-titan-sli-review
How can you not want it? I am saving my piggy bank to get myself one of this cool stuff.
Quote "There's clearly a market for products like this - as niche as it may be - and when you physically have the GT80 Titan SLI in your possession, you can kind of see why...., this PC is pushing back technological boundaries in new and exciting ways. It crams an almost absurd amount of performance into a relatively portable form factor, while the upgradability and the superb keyboard make it feel like a special, one of a kind product. Its sheer insanity may justifiably stupefy the majority of the PC audience, but for that tiny, affluent niche this machine was made for, its charms may well prove irresistible."

GT80 Titan SLI: Graphics performance

It’s not without reason we make a lot of noise about the GT80 Titan SLI – we’re immensely proud of all its unique features, not to mention the fact that it’s our most high-performing system, and probably the fastest gaming notebook out there. We can rant and rave about the keyboard for weeks (and we have done, internally), but in the end, it’s down to performance figures… Something we thought we’d share with you.
You will not have missed the fact that we’re using two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M with 8GB each, in SLI, leading to… Well, see for yourself, below.
In general, the SLI solution in the GT80 gives a performance boost of more than 60% compared to a single GTX 980M, as found in our GT72, or for that matter in a lot of other high-end notebooks. For example, this solution scores noticeably higher in 3DMark Fire Strike than an overclocked GeForce Titan desktop system – just to give you an idea of what kind of powerhouse the GT80 really is.

GT80 Titan SLI Awarded Editors' Choice by Computer Shopper

The GT80 Titan SLI review is out from Computer Shopper, giving the Titan their Editor’s Choice Award! This beast of machine really out-performs the competition and re-defines the standards of a true desktop replacement notebook .
Read more: http://www.computershopper.com/laptops/reviews/msi-gt80-titan-sli#review-body
Pros:
•   Cherry-switch keyboard (a laptop first)
•   Clever touch pad placement and numeric-keypad implementation
•   Field-leading SLI gaming graphics
•   Above-average upgradeability
Quotes:
•   “MSI knows gamers, to be sure, and the Titan SLI was designed to max out the gaming power in a semi-portable form factor. And where it does compromise, it does so wisely.”
•   “In that curious mixture of overkill and restraint, MSI succeeded with the GT80 Titan SLI, in its own way: You can’t buy a gaming laptop remotely like it from anyone else, and the graphics power for gaming—both on the 1080p screen and with external displays—is unparalleled among laptops at this writing.”
•   “Typing on the GT80 Titan SLI keyboard was unlike any other laptop typing experience we’ve had, with very deep travel and quiet action as we typed.”
•   “When we tested Nvidia’s desktop reference video card for the GeForce GTX 980, we attained a score of 10,803 in our 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark test. The dual GTX 980M SLI arrangement here rang up at 13,027 with the SLI running at full tilt, beating what we saw from the full desktop GTX 980 card by a goodly margin.”
•   “Beyond the impressive networking mix, the audio subsystem is also a standout.”
•   “There’s simply nothing else like it on the market today.”

GT80 Titan SLI – the keyboard

Just revealed at CES earlier this month is the all-new MSI GT80 Titan SLI – the world’s first gaming notebook with a mechanical keyboard. We’ve spoken about it at length at the launch itself, and it is pretty eye-catching, so it didn’t go unnoticed even for the most battle-hardened media visiting.
In any case – you know about the GT80 Titan SLI, it comes with dual 980M graphics and high-power CPUs, but the party piece is its mechanical keyboard. For now, we’re offering the GT80 with Cherry MX Brown switches, but for the future, there might be different offerings, such as MX Red.
The reasons we’ve chosen the Brown switches can be seen on the picture above. Cherry itself positions it as an “advanced gaming switch”, and being a gaming notebook, it’s a bit of a no-brainer. It is also a silent solution, unlikely to upset anyone unnecessarily.

GT80 Titan SLI modularity

The GT80 Titan SLI is both a successor as well as an improvement on the GT72 in many ways. Obviously, it’s a completely new design, and the two don’t have much in common, but in one critical aspect, it shares the possibility to be upgraded in the future. The GT72 comes with a replaceable MXM graphics card, while the GT80 takes this a couple of steps further by pretty much full modularity.
The placement of the keyboard means you can remove the somewhat unusual large top cover with two screws and access HDDs, ODD and the M.2 2280 type SSDs (all slots clearly numbered).
Through the bottom you can access the dual GTX 980M GPUs as well as the RAM. Another unusual feature is a ribbon cable running between the graphics cards – this is the SLI bridge.
As you can see then, we’re building on the GT72 upgradability DNA, but make it even easier for those who go for the top-of-the-line offering.

Mechanical Keyboard !!! The first brand to issue this feature, MSI really cares about gamer's need~~

GT80 2QE 034CN

Hello,
i bought the chinese Version of the GT80 (GT80 2QE-034CN). All the language Topics could be solved easily, just the BIOS. MSI Support asked me to send the Computer to Czechia workshop, then they would switch my Bios language to Englisch. This is not acceptable for me. Even if they would pick up the Computer and pay the fee. But from Beijing, this takes far too Long.
Also, Flash new Bios Version, remove AC Adapter, remove Batteries, push On/Off button 5 seconds, and wait then for at least 5 minutes did not help to Change the language from chinese to english.
When i open HWiNFO64 i can see two language Options, en|US|iso8859-1 and zh|CN|unicode <Active>, but in Bios directly there is no option to change. Language menu is hidden. Can you guys modify my actual BIOS Version E1812IMS.10C to unhide the language menu?
BIOS Version: E1812IMS.10C
Motherboard Model: MSI MS-1812

Hi Svet, thanks for the reply, even if they are not so good news for me. Then i have to learn to read chinese letters
Seems there is some technical modification on chinese Notebook Versions, which prevents a language switch to english after a BIOS Flash. Never heared about this, and how this can be technically done. My thought was, to unhide language menu in BIOS, then i could choose the language myself and set as Default for the future. But if this does not work..

GT80 Titan SLI testimonials and awards

If we were to liken the MSI Gaming notebook lineup to weapons, the GE62 would probably be a SCAR, the GT72 a Minimi while the GT80 Titan would probably best be represented by an M1 Abrams tank.
Despite the war related talk, our relations with media when talking to the GT80 Titan has been very calm and peaceful – maybe thanks to all the nice things they keep saying about it once they’ve gotten their hands on it. Below follows a few excerpts from GT80 reviews around the world.
“We’ve never laid eyes (or fingers) on a gaming laptop quite like the GT80. With awesome SLI gaming power, a huge screen, and a true mechanical keyboard, this mega-machine sets a new standard of dream machine—so long as you don’t have to carry it very far.” – Computer Shopper http://www.computershopper.com/laptops/reviews/msi-gt80-titan-sli/(page)/5#product-review
“With its face-melting performance, a fantastic mechanical keyboard and upgrade-friendly chassis, the MSI GT80 Titan SLI is the gaming laptop to beat.”
-   Laptop Magazine
http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/msi-gt80-titan-sli-gaming-laptop
“It’s easy to see why we’re so impressed; GT80 Titan SLI is outstanding in many ways, it pushes the boundaries for all-out mobile performance and achieves this while delivering a catalogue of innovative features.”

MSI GT72 2QE wins Editor's Choice Award (PC Comparatif, France)

PC Comparatif, a media from France where lies the capital of fashion and lives users who are picky and have high quality standards, after comparing the G751 with MSI GT72, gave MSI GT72 2QE the Editor's Choice with a full score rating.
Quate in English (translated)
"Throughout the whole reviewing process, we had been asking ourselves whether we could find enough reasons, after our thorough examinations, to give this model a maximum score. The suspense lasted until the very end. We finally confirmed that it was indeed the latest model we had tested recently that had such a privilege to win this compliment. If the G751 makes us exciting (especially its silence and the aggressive price), GT72 possesses all those features and there is no denying that GT72 surpasses the G751, not necessarily in terms of power since both have equal components, but in terms of features/functionalities. MSI did not fail to make this model an ideal alternative for the desktop gaming environment...All those elements have already made GT72 a great choice. But in the end, the decisive variable is the product upgradability: MSI GT72 supports completely change of the GPU, the core component for gaming machine, so that you can keep your configurations the most update ones. Given the investment one has to make in a portable gaming machine, this option shouldn't be just a dream. "
Quate in original language (in French)
"Durant tout le temps de ce comparatif, nous nous sommes demande si un produit allait finalement trouver suffisamment grace a nos yeux pour que nous lui accordions la note ultime. Le suspense aura dure jusqu'au bout, puisqu'il s'est avere que c'est le dernier modele qui est passe entre nos mains qui a eu ce privilege.
Et si le G751 reste notre petit coup de coeur, eu egard a toutes ses qualites (son silence, notamment) et au tarif tres agressif qu'il arbore, on ne peut nier que le GT72 le surpasse, pas necessairement en termes de puissance, puisqu'a composants egaux, tous les modeles se valent, mais plutot sur le plan des fonctionnalites, MSI n'ayant veritablement rien omis pour faire de son poulain une alternative ideale a un environnement destop gaming...Autant d'elements qui font deha du GT72 une reference. Mais finalement, l'argument decisif aura ete l'evolutivite du produit : MSI supporte, en effet, pleinement sur les GT72 le changement du GPU, composant central s'agissant d'une machine gaming, en commercialisant des kits de mise a jour pour ce dernier. Compte tenu de l'investissement que represente un portable gaming, cette possibilite devrait en faire rever plus d'un"

I found one video teaching users how to do the GPU upgrade on their own. Enjoy!

MSI GS70 2QE - Screen Askew

Hi,
I bought an MSI GS70 2QE last week. I've noticed the screen is ever so slightly askew, its minor but its offputtng given the price of the laptop. I'm currently in talks with the place I bought it from who are saying they cant see the issue and have contacted MSI who also dont see the issue.
Can any MSI board members comment on the following images.
You'll notice if you zoom in on the left and right lower hand sides of the screen where it sits neatly next to the laptop body there is more of the black bezel showing on the right hand side.

They are saying not. They are happy to take the laptop back and look at it but if they don't see the issue they will return it to me. I've given them the exact photo. Everyone at work can see it etc, but I'm concerned they will see the issue and consider this within manufacturers tolerances. This will mean the laptop will have done a round trip to their office, been inspected and returned, something I don't fancy on a laptop costing over £1600.
I've asked if they will allow m to pay a restocking fee but they don't seem to want to do this either.
The issue is definitely there but I think its a case of whether I'm being too fussy or not. I don't believe I am.
