MSI Computer Corp, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions, celebrates its 29th anniversary, presenting the availability of its flagship gaming notebook, the GT72 Dominator Pro, with NVIDIA’s most advanced and highest performance GPU, the GeForce® GTX™ 980. Designed to bring desktop gaming graphics to a notebook, NVIDIA’s latest GeForce® GTX™ GPU runs all 2048 cores at full clocks and full performance, resulting in the most immersive experience available. NVIDIA’s newest GPU is also built for overclocking and virtual reality, with NVIDIA Maxwell™ architecture and loaded with NVIDIA GameWorks™ VR Technologies for blistering fast and highly responsive VR graphics. 3D Mark 11 performance, when over-clocking, is expected to reach over P14,500 points, which is as powerful as that of desktops with GTX980 graphics. MSI fans may experience smoother DirectX 12 extreme gaming effects on Windows 10 for enhanced image quality and details with 3K or even 4K resolutions.
 
Those laptops that can run this chip will be big, heavy, and not portable at all. Very cool to see Nvidia trying to do this but…

Having owned laptops with an mxm based graphics solution, this seems to be the problem. Most of it I would attribute to problems with cooling as the heatsink compared to desktop counterparts don't even compare. With Asus announcing its "water-cooled" notebooks, it may be a step in the right direction. All in all, very awesome news but very niche.
 
I am assuming this will still be a full, MXM upgradable GPU, like in their other GT notebooks?
