The company announced several months ago that it was working on the so-called ThinTouch keyboard, whose slim profile might make it an ideal fit for Ultrabooks and other lightweight laptops.
As soon as you tap the input area for the headline, the keyboard comes up from the bottom of the screen and a little keyboard icon comes down to where your profile picture usually is.
Otherwise, the GX70 is superficially similar to its ancestor with that chunky profile, an unnamed Richland-based AMD A10 processor, Killer networking and a SteelSeries keyboard.
