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.
