The unfortunate part of the MSI GS30 Shadow is that it's not perfect, and that is really what I was looking for. An Ultrabook-style notebook that can be docked with a discrete GPU when at home or at the office, with more accessories and connectivity optio...

Without a longer battery life in the laptop, and less noise while docked, the GS30s impressive gaming performance isnt quite enough to make it a must have...

Abstract: In theory then, this two-part kit gets you the best of both worlds: a laptop that's slim and light enough to go anywhere, but which can transform into a powerful gaming PC when you get home.Even sans dock though, the GS30 laptop is incredibly well-specced...
Abstract: MSI is hoping to cash in on that idea with its latest bit of kit, a weird but perhaps not entirely crazy concept: the GS30 bundles a high-spec 13.3-inch laptop along with a hefty box that MSI is calling a “GamingDock”: basically it's an enclosure consisti...
MSI has come at this new approach to empowering gaming notebooks from a different angle from its competition, focused almost solely on value, performance and design in GS30 Shadow and GamingDock. The result is a machine that can be an Ultrabook in your b...

It is very expensive, Too much noise from the cooling fans, Very hard to admire the styling of the GamingDock.
When we previewed the MSI GS30 Shadow and GamingDock at the end of 2014 we were blown away by the combination of Core i7-4870HQ CPU in the laptop and the desktop GTX 980 graphics card in the GamingDock. The concept of using an external dock to add proper ...
The MSI GS30 is in itself a very special laptop. A 13.3-inch laptop with a weight of just 1.3 pounds and still feature beautiful specifications as a quad-core processor, two SSDs and a Full HD IPS display. Ideal if you're a powerhouse, but preferably not...
We're really happy to see another attempt at creating a graphics card dock and laptop solution, and MSI seems to have made a decent attempt with the GS30 Shadow and GamingDock. We're not really sold on the inclusion of speakers or the styling of the dock...
