The MSI GS30 Shadow is further proof that laptop docking stations have plenty to offer.Transforming a thin-and-light 13.3in laptop, the bundled GamingDock opens the door to greater storage, better connectivity, improved audio and a far superior graphi...
OK so here it is, the GamingDock. It's huge, measuring at 364.4 x 209 x 197.7mm. That's pretty much a Mini-ITX desktop already, in fact it's actually bigger than some Mini-ITX setup. The front of the GamingDock is a set of speaker – my take on front speak...

Abstract: The MSI GS30 Shadow is an interesting product. On one hand, it is a lightweight and portable laptop with a very capable processor and integrated graphics. But once the laptop is connected to the GamingDock, it turns into one beastly gaming machine that ca...
Lightweight and portable, Generous amount of USB ports, Brilliant display, Comfortable operational area, High performance processor and Iris Pro Graphics

Notebook alone is very lightweight and easy to bring, Boots up in less than 10 seconds, Typing is actually fun on the keyboard, Handles everyday tasks like a boss, Also good for video editing even without dock
Notebook easily catches smudges, Awkward height when notebook is docked

Abstract: We've previously written about the GS30 2M Shadow and Dock, poring over every single detail, in our previous article . In light of MSI's recent reveal of the machine at CES 2015, we thought you might be interested in finding out how the machine fared when...
Abstract: Hooking up one thing to another so that it becomes more powerful is something The Transformers cartoons of yore showed. Someone at Micro-Star International (MSI) obviously grew up watching the cartoons because, in a way, that's what its new GS30 2M Shado...
