exciting thing I've seen at the show yet which isn't really saying much this is only the second Suite we've been to but this is something that I'm pretty stoked on anyway this is the gs30 shadow 001 it's a gaming notebook that has a very thin and light design so they're using what appears to the same material as as their GS Series so like a like a blasted finished magnesium kind of shell it's got

$2,000 Iris Pro Graphics no no hold on it gets it gets better than that so what's going on over here is we're running exter an external display not off of The Notebook itself but off of this included

to run well MSI says any of their graphics cards and any reference card up to a GTX Titan black or R9 290x pretty much anything you could want to put in it compar to alien wear solution this is still
