MSI GT83VR 6R (18.4-Inch, 2016) Series

Extreme gaming performance. Mechanical keyboard. Reasonably quiet.

The GT83VR Titan is an upgrade over the original GT80 Titan. The newer components are faster, and the excellent chassis has stayed the same, but the competition, even from MSI’s own gaming laptops, has simply moved quicker than this 18.4-inch behemoth...

Includes just a 1080p 60Hz display when two GTX 1080s in SLI can comfortably game at 4K
