MSI has recently announced a new 13.3 inch gaming notebook – GS30 Shadow, powered by Intel 4th Gen Core i7 and Iris Pro graphics. It is the lightest gaming notebook in the market, weighing 1.3kg in 19.8mm height. Instead of dedicated graphics from Nvidia or AMD, this device is powered by Intel Iris Pro graphics. It supports up to DX11.1, OpenCL 1.2, OpenGL 4.0 and enhanced 4k x 2k.
Gaming Dock:
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. The target launch time would be January 2015.
