14 DAY TRIAL // While every major tech player in the industry is busy launching slews of new products at IFA 2014 in Berlin, MSI has been quite absent from the news.
But today the gaming computer specialist breaks the silence and rolls out a new 13.3-inch machine (with 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution) dubbed the GS30 Shadow.
The machine takes advantage of Intel 4th Gen Core i7 chip architecture and Iris Pro graphics, which are designed to almost double performance compared to the previous generation.
An important highlight of this lappy is that MSI managed to slim it down and make it extremely light at just 1.3kg / 2.8 lbs.
The laptop bundles support for DX11.1, OpenCL 1.2, OpenGL 4.0 and enhanced 4k x 2k. MSI offers the new laptop with a GamingDock that will play nicely, exclusively with the GS30 Shadow.
The purpose of this accessory is to increase graphics performance by virtue of the inserted desktop discrete graphics card living inside it.
Most importantly, users can opt for any desktop GPU they feel might suit their needs. MSI calls the dock the most powerful upgraded cannon to be used with slim gaming laptops, so you shouldn't have problems with running the most advanced titles on it.
The laptop with GamingDock is expected to launch in January 2015, but pricing specifications haven’t been disclosed just yet.
