MSI GS60 Ghost Pro review

 

1080p PC gaming on-the-go at its finest

Excellent screen and sound ; Performance pusher ; Stupendous keyboard

Fleeting battery life ; A bit expensive

A little expensive and short on battery life, this 15-inch gaming laptop has its flaws. But, despite those drawbacks, it's one of the best performing laptops we've ever tested.

MSI GS60-2PE ‘Ghost Pro’ Gaming Notebook Review

 

Lightest notebook to feature NVIDIA 800M series graphics, Over 1GB/s read speeds from SuperRAID SSDs, Anti-glare display, Class leading performance, Good battery life, Carry case included, Dual-cooler design improves running temperatures, 3K panel...

Battery, HDD & memory not user serviceable, No optical drive, Keyboard backlight could be improved, Plastic chassis acts as a finger print magnet, Speakers are not where they are advertised to be

As a part of the GS series of notebooks, the Ghost Pro is one of the top-level systems that is on offer. When we look at the high levels of performance that are available from virtually every corner of the chassis and then the slim & lightweight built...

MSI GS60 2QE Ghost Pro 4K (2QEUi716SR51G) Notebook Review

 

Gold piece for gamers? The MSI GS60 is now available with a 4K display and Maxwell GPU, the current update uses the fast GeForce GTX 970M. Our review will show if everything is gold that glitters at the GS60.

Nice and thin chassis, Sophisticated aluminum, A lot of performance, No throttling during gaming, Decent speakers, Customizable keyboard illumination, Very fast SSD-RAID

Awkward fan controls, Strange keyboard layout, Clickpad button can be triggered accidentally, 4K resolution often a problem, Power adaptor too weak, Port layout not perfect, Limited maintainability, Glossy display

The MSI GS60 2QE deserves its golden chassis, at least for the most part. The improvements over the predecessor are clearly noticeable, for the temperature development in particular – and the performance was even improved. However, we would waive the...

MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 4K review with Intel Broadwell hardware (Core i7-5700HQ CPU)

 

Not much has changed with the 2015 GS60 except an updated Broadwell CPU and a new screen option. MSI continues to use the same chassis and be one of the top contenders for a lightweight and high powered laptop. It's unfortunate they chose such a poor...

good price, especially for older models now; solid build quality; excellent keyboard with a good trackpad; gaming performance is incredible for such a thin laptop

low battery life; ugly features such as glowing logo and branding emblems/stickers; steer clear of the 4k screen

Well not much has changed with the GS60 except an updated CPU and a new screen option. MSI still continues to use the same chassis and be one of the top contenders for a lightweight and high powered laptop. It’s unfortunate they chose such a poor 4k...

It's really good but 1 big problem

 

So I really like this computer and it came with so much stuff. Like the waterproof backpack, the keyboard protector, the light up keyboard, mouse, mouse pad are great. They are all made very well. The computer is almost completely metal except for the...

It has been a little over a month and I have some free time to review this. I'm gonna get detailed for future reference for people who may buy something similar to this. -The 4k screen is great, it's sharp, clean, and detailed. There's a lot of room...

Well lets start with one that shouldn't even have been one. Like seriously. For the price we paid for this labtop it should have been flawless but that is not the case. The display screen metal casing on the top left side of my computer was a little...

Really dissapointed in this laptop

 

16G memory, Really good quality screen, even tho mine has Back light issues, Good amount of HD space, Fast CPU Speed. Overall this laptop has the specs to be a really good laptop

the 970m video card is such a disappointment. I don't know if its just my Laptop but i get stuttering in games almost with every game. The only games that play smooth are older games, all new games stuttering especially with a weird hitch that makes...

Wanted to love it, but needed accurate yellow colors more

 

If you don't need accurate yellows for your work, this is an awesome computer.

Beautiful gold metal case. Lightweight. Loved the multi-colored backlit keyboard. Booted really fast on the SSD drive. Very clear display. Came with great extras: backpack, protective sleeve, headphones, keyboard cover, and mouse. Dual fans kept it...

Unfortunately, bright yellow renders as a mustard color on the screen. I'm a web designer and need accurate color for my work. I knew about this flaw when I bought it, but everything else about the computer was so appealing that I thought I could...

Great Laptop

 

This laptop performs beautifully. The screen works fine, the keyboard is nice, though the windows key is on the right, and function key is on the left (I'm used to windows key being on the left at least). I also use home and end keys constantly but...

Great price, decent GPU, 2 HDDs, quick SSD

Fans kick on a lot, short battery life
