Hey all! I am excited to reveal one of our newest additions to the MSI G series family! So, have you ever wanted a super small, lightweight, ultra thin NB? Have you ever wanted it to be ultra mobile for your day to day activities? Uni? Work? Starbucks with the Macbook pro cool kids? It's here! Our new MSI GS30 Shadow NB! Specs : 4th Gen Core I7 2 x SSD 13.3" Full HD Screen Iris Pro Graphics (Super On board GPU) 1.3KG in weight 19.8mm But I hear you say....what about the GPU? You want discreet graphics? You want upgradability? OK.... so it comes with a GamingDock! Docking and transforming, shift into the Elysium! There is a specific GamingDock designed for GS30 Shadow and the overall graphics performance will be shifted to a higher level while GS30 Shadow is docking on it. By the inserted desktop discrete graphics card inside the GamingDock, more graphics calculation will be enhanced and more visual detailed will be revealed. Users can choose any desktop graphics card, which is stronger and more powerful, then easily insert into it to unleash the most stunning visual effect and deliver the most exciting gaming experience to gamers by full bandwidth of PCI-e x16. The GamingDock is no wonder the most powerful upgraded cannon for slim gaming laptops to play on those most performance demanding titles in highest resolution and settings. Just to say the above a little more clearly You can insert any brand DESKTOP GPU into the gaming dock, so your NB when docked will be just as good graphics wise as your desktop. This means when newer laptop GPU's come out, you will not be worried about performance. Use this NB with a 780TI if you like! The choice is yours! Perfect for if you go away to uni, you can have a full desktop solution in your room, but a super high powered NB whilst you are at the library! The dock can hold a normal HD for all your games too, whilst the NB holds 2 x SSD's.
