Product Information
MSI’s GS Series GS60 2PE GHOST PRO 3K combines efficiency, mobility, and capability in one of the slimmest and lightest enthusiast-level gaming laptops available. A low-voltage fourth-generation Intel i7 series processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) with NVIDIA BatteryBoost, keeps juice use low when gaming on the go, and its three-hour battery life – while continually streaming FHD video – ranks high among gaming laptops. MSI crafted the GS60 GHOST PRO 3K chassis from durable yet light magnesium-lithium alloy that permits both low weight at 4.36 pounds and a thickness of 0.85 of an inch, just a little more than the width of a quarter. The GS60’s 15.6-inch, 4mm thick FHD 2880p x1620p glass touchscreen doesn’t bend or flex, and, when opened, lends an overall feeling of sturdiness to the machine. With 3MB of GDDR5 RAM, a 941 MHz core clock, and 1,344 stream processors, the GeForce GTX 870 gaming GPU is like the F-1 engine to the MSI GS60’s Saturn V rocket. The technologies NVIDIA manages to pack into the GTX 870 GPU, such as PhysX, CUDA, Optimus, and TXAA, seem to defy its small dimensions. The PhysX engine creates visual effects – such as how lightning flashes when it strikes, how shockwaves flow through and disrupt matter, and impulse and momentum change during an explosion – based on Newtonian physics, for unparalleled realism while gaming. NVIDIA’s GeForce Optimus system allows for universal switchable graphics, which basically tells Intel i7 processor to switch between the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 processor and the GeForce GTX 870 GPU as needed. When executing functions that require low graphics resources, such as browsing or word processing, the Intel HD graphics 4600 handles the onscreen action. When you need to harness all the power and performance the GS60 has for resource-intensive gaming, Optimus switches control the GeForce GTX 870. GeForce CUDA, a parallel processing platform, focuses on facial features, capturing and rendering them in real time while gaming. TXAA comprises hardware anti-aliasing, a temporal filter, and custom CGI aliasing resolves to eliminate onscreen flicker and "crawling," when gaming intensity gets heavy. The MSI GS Series GS60 2PE GHOST PRO 3K notebook boots in seven seconds, thanks to a 237 GB boot drive comprising two 128 GB Solid-State Drives (SSD) in a RAID 0 array. The 2.5 GHz (unclocked) quad-core Intel i7 processor overclocks at 3.65 GHz and has 6 MB of cache memory. MSI economically combines a 128GB SSD with a 1TB hard disk drive (SSD + HDD) in the notebook, to provide high-performance solid-state technology with the value of mechanical HDDs The MSI GS60 laptop features Miracast technology, which lets you display video, gameplay, images, and video clips wirelessly on multiple devices. The MSI GS60 notebook includes one 30 Frames Per Second (FPS) 720p webcam, one HDMI-out, one mini DisplayPort, one 3-in-1 card reader, one RJ-45 Ethernet port, one microphone-in and one audio-out port, one SPDIF port and three SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports. The high-performance MSI GS Series GS60 2PE GHOST PRO 3K gaming laptop comes with the Windows 8 operating system.
