MSI GS60 Ghost Slim 15.6″ Gaming Laptop with 3K and 4K Display Options

The MSI GS60 Ghost belongs to the emerging slim and light gaming notebook category. This 0.8″ thin machine with a 15.6-inch display and a weight of just 4.2 pounds packs serious punch. First of all, 4K and 3K display resolution options are available alongside the standard Full HD. There are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M 2GB or GTX 970M 3GB / 6GB dedicated video cards, which are capable to run the latest games at completely fluid frame rates at high graphics settings and 1080p resolution (3K and 4K resolutions however need more graphics power). The included 4th or 5th Generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processors are among the fastest laptop-use processors on the market. Furthermore, 12GB or 16GB of RAM are both sufficient for heavy multitasking without a glitch, while its traditional 1-Terabyte 7,200rpm hard drive is accompanied by a 128GB M.2 solid state drive for greater responsiveness and faster game loading.

Here’s a breakdown of available GS60 Ghost configurations.

MSI advertises Full HD displays with “wide viewing angles”, which doesn’t necessarily means IPS technology is included. On the other hand, the 3K and 4K models are listed with IPS.

Gaming-wise, another important feature is the SteelSeries keyboard with customizable full-color backlight and key function settings capability.

Other highlights are a 2.1 stereo speaker system with a subwoofer, Nahimic virtual surround sound technology, gaming-optimized Killer 802.11AC wireless and Gigabit Ethernet LAN network interfaces, and HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs for connecting up to two external displays simultaneously.

The MSI GS60 Ghost is encased in a dark gray brushed aluminum chassis.
