MSI GS60 2PC Ghost specsĪ thin and light gaming laptop that could find a home more as a desktop PC replacement, the GS60 2PC weighs less than 2kg and is less than 2cm thick when closed. In a world where laptop displays are still dominated by entry-level TN panels, the GS60 Ghost is a world apart - it looks quite beautiful.

Colour is rich and vibrant, while brightness and contrast are excellent, and there are absolutely no problems with viewing angles whatsoever. On the plus side, this means that there is no real shortage of space for those all-important ports - we have HDMI and mini-DisplayPort alongside three USB 3.0 ports, line-out and microphone-in, plus an SD card slot too.Ĭhassis build quality is a mixture of brushed aluminium and plastic - not really on the same level as the Razer Blade - bolstered significantly by the real star of the show, the full HD IPS display. Despite this, it remains a fairly imposing presence - the GS60 Ghost has a 15.6-inch display and there's a pretty sizeable bezel there too, adding significantly to the overall footprint of the unit. Thanks to a magnesium chassis, it's also remarkably light too, weighing in at just 1.96kg. What we're looking at here is - according to MSI - the thinnest 15-inch gaming notebook on the market, with a case that's just 19.9mm high with the lid closed. It's not quite the like-for-like challenger we would have wanted - it's a lot bigger for starters - but it's significantly more powerful than the last-gen Blade and a lot cheaper too. So the quest is on to find a suitable replacement, leading us to MSI's GS60 2PC Ghost. It's a fine machine, if slightly anaemic in terms of its graphics power (boosted considerably in its latest revision) and handicapped by an ultra-expensive price point - not to mention a lack of general availability outside North America. It's been some time since we reviewed the Razer Blade 14 - a unique combination of gaming-grade Intel and Nvidia components somehow integrated into an ultra-slim laptop chassis highly reminiscent of the MacBook Pro.
