It's a joke for you but a laptop with a good mech keyboard is exactly what I want.

I plug a mechanical keyboard into my laptop all the time, because it's easier on my fingers. A thicker laptop that I can type on is better for me than carrying around a separate mech and putting the laptop on a nearby flat surface instead of my lap.




Those do exist - MSI and Asus made a few recently I'm sure.

For example: https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/msi-gt75vr-titan-p...

I mean, at 4.5kg it's extremely heavy for a laptop, but it does have a mechanical keyboard and very beefy spec.


That's for a very niche, need to game on the go, market. It's otherwise ridiculous looking


We actually use something very similar to run our servers at conferences and presentations, don't really care about the gpu but having a desktop-grade CPU in a "portable" package is very useful for this.


Do you happen to run Linux? A couple years ago I looked at the MSI laptop, which actually has Cherry Brown switches, but it was heavily gaming-focused and I couldn't find anything about Linux support.


No, all of our servers are windows-based(a bit unusual, I know).
