It looks like one of my previous wishes of a 15-inch form factor slim gaming notebook has materialised at last. Back then I commented that too many people wanted to follow Razer Blade literally down to the screen size (and the GS70 was almost completely a Blade clone in appearance), when 17.3" makes the portability of a slim gaming notebook more 'bottlenecked' by length/width rather than weight. I guess Razer took 2 years to realise this (hence the 14-inch blade) good to see MSI is diversifying beyond 17 inch too.
This laptop was teased at CES but more coverage is starting to appear.
MSI gaming laptop packs next-gen NVIDIA graphics and '3K' display into Ultrabook thickness
Only thing is they haven't confirmed the GPU inside yet though. Interested to see how it can handle their '3k' display
Any idea when it will available in the market?
GS60 weight at 1.95kg only... can't wait for the spec!
specs out already MSI USA - Dragoon Army Site | GS60 Ghost Gaming Notebook
GPU is confirmed to be the 860M, same as 17-inch razer blade 2014
Althought MSI is definietly value for money, the issue is build quality and firmware issues. My ex-GS70 display turn red just after 3 month and send it in for repair.
The New GS70 box
Hope that they used this box for all the MSI Gaming series... looks much better!
is the new model out in our shores?
GS70 Stealth Pro is here.
So far for the refreshed models, 4 models are in. The others ETA mid to end Apr.
