Razer Blade Pro Gets GTX 1080, Mechanical Keyboard, Weird Touchpad Placement

Any word and the size and weight of the power brick for this monster?

Razer's release materials said only this: "The included AC adapter also dwarfs similarly powered systems and complements the overall mobility of the Blade Pro."

A lot of people use their mice bellow their keyboards. I think this is why, besides space constraints, most laptops have touchpads bellow the keyboards.

I've never heard of a person or seen a person that uses a mouse under their keyboard. I always see the mouse to the right of the keyboard and RARELY to the left. But never under.

Isn't that expensive?

Yes. Very. Razer products are typically pricey.

@BPILGRIM @JASONELMORE,

the CLEVO model is not 2000 LESS... even a GTX1070 17 inch model is 2000 alone... I live in China and the 1080 models are still around 2400 USD...

I see mixed responses to the placement of this trackpad. Forgive me but I think it's one of the dumbest things I've seen come out of a generally respectable and high-quality company like Razor. I'm also left handed, very much so, at that. What did the engineers expect in terms of backlash when they went full ret@rd for an aesthetic gimmick? I see no benefit to its placement even if I WERE right handed.

Waste.

I truly feel sorry for ya man, Left handed users are a minority (around 10% of world population) compared to right handed. The track pad's placement benefits right handed users because that track pad is as far to the right as you can get without being a physical mouse.

I am left handed and because of being the minority, (and the lack of left handed equipment) I learned to do everything but throw and write using my right hand. So I golf right handed, use my mouse on the right hand side, and bat right handed because of this.
