Is the MSI GT80 Gaming Laptop any good?

[Windows Central Question]

Thinking about buying the MSI GT80 for my son, but would really love some feedback from the community here. Is it worth it? Or would you recommend something else?

Well its up to you. The GT80 offers fantastic specs, and a mechanical keyboard (now thats something that you dont see on a laptop everyday). Parts a swappable too also. However its a bit on the pricey side, and quite the brick (due to the mechanical keyboard), so if you are looking for portability, thats not the best. Aesthetics are not that fantastic too, but if specs/performance is what you are looking for, that would be best for you.
