Last year, MSI launched the ultra-thin gaming notebook GS70 series. The 21.8mm body and its very powerful configuration are amazing. With the recent launch of NVIDIA's new 8-series graphics cards, MSI has also launched a new ultra-thin gaming notebook, and the thickness has been reduced to only 19.9mm. Let’s take a look at MSI gs60.
MSI GS60 ultra-thin gaming notebook: the ultra-thin body is not inferior to ultrabooks
In terms of appearance, overall The appearance of the GS60 is basically the same as that of the HS70. It feels flat, square and square in the hand, but the two raised lines on the top cover clearly distinguish it from the GS70. The MSI GS60 body is designed with an all-metal material. The craftsmanship of the body is very delicate, and the rounded corners on the edges are also very pleasing. In addition to its well-known protective role, metal materials also have the function of assisting the cooling system in releasing heat. Metal materials have good heat transfer capabilities and can transfer heat through air flow or contact with other media to quickly reduce the body temperature. This allows the MSI GS60 to operate within a safe temperature range, making it an ultra-thin gaming laptop. The necessary body material.
The screen size of MSI GS60 is 15.6 inches, and the physical resolution reaches Full HD 1920×1080. For a high-end notebook product dedicated to game performance, this is a must, because the resolution is It really has a huge impact on the gaming experience. For gamers, the exquisite picture quality when playing games is absolutely an unparalleled enjoyment.
The MSI GS60 screen frame is made of plastic material, which is also the only non-metallic material in the exposed area. At the same time, the opening and angle of this screen is also very large. The author visually estimated that it can reach about 150°. The huge opening and angle also proves that this screen also has an extraordinary viewing angle, and this is indeed the case. After the author's personal testing, the viewing angle of this screen can even reach nearly 180°, which allows users to We can choose a more comfortable way to view this screen.
MSI GS60 ultra-thin gaming notebook: professional-grade SteelSeries backlit keyboard and management system< /p>
The C-side design of MSI GS60 is quite simple. Except for the keyboard, the entire C-side only has a power button above the keyboard. Moreover, the entire keyboard surface and palm rest also adopt a downward-sloping design, making it easy to use. It is very comfortable and there will be no feeling of fatigue after long-term use.
The MSI GS60 uses a SteelSeries professional keyboard. I believe netizens who are familiar with MSI laptops must have heard of this name. This keyboard is available on MSI. It has also appeared in previous products. It is a professional-grade gaming keyboard with higher durability than ordinary keyboards, and the keyboard keys have strong feedback and feel more comfortable. Although it is still different from independent gaming keyboards, it is better than ordinary chocolate keyboards. Much better. There is an integrated touchpad under the keyboard, which is smooth to use and accurately positioned. At the edge of the C surface, the MSI GS60 integrates a row of status indicators. Users can judge based on the light status of the indicators. The use of the notebook is very convenient and user-friendly
Although the MSI GS60 adopts a thin and light body design, the types and number of its interfaces But it is richer. The USB2.0 interface has been completely replaced by the faster USB3.0. There are 3 USB3.0 interfaces distributed on both sides of the fuselage, and there are 2 video output ports on the right side of the fuselage. HDMI and 1 DP interface. Compared with traditional VGA, both HDMI and DPj support simultaneous audio/video transmission, which means that only one cable is needed to transmit all audio and video, which VGA cannot do. , and in terms of video resolution and image quality, VGA cannot be compared with the two.
It is worth mentioning that for this gaming keyboard, MSI also provides an exclusive Steelseries set. Engine: Game macro setting management system. MSI’s official description of this system is: This system can customize the multi-key commands you are accustomed to using in the game to your liking.OK, programmed as a quick single key, which effectively improves the operation speed. This management system is not limited to command settings, but also allows settings for peripheral devices such as mice. It also allows players to have multiple layers of virtual keyboards, each layer having its own independent hotkey settings and backlight colors. In other words, using the SteelseriesEngine game macro setting management system allows users to switch between four keyboards with completely different functions. In other words, players can create their own gaming keyboard based on this system.
MSI GS60 ultra-thin gaming laptop: good heat dissipation and decent battery life
High-end gaming laptops have always had a heavy image This is inseparable from the ultra-high heat dissipation pressure. High-end graphics cards and high-end processors can be called the boilers in gaming laptops. If you want to achieve excellent heat dissipation performance of the entire machine, then increase the size. Increasing the cooling space is undoubtedly the easiest way. And MSI GS60 adopts such an ultra-thin design, so what is its heat dissipation capability? Let us test it.
We use the Furmark copy software to conduct an extreme test on the MSI GS60. Furmark will fully operate the two major heating components of the machine, the CPU and the graphics card. After 60 minutes of operation, the temperature will reach an extreme level. In order to allow everyone to more intuitively see the heat dissipation of each machine during operation, we also used a FLUKE infrared thermal imager to observe the temperature rise at each location.
As can be seen from the picture, the heat dissipation capacity of MSI GS60 is quite good. Except for the high temperature of the heat dissipation port, the whole machine basically maintains Around 50℃, which also shows that this notebook has very good heat dissipation capabilities.
Nowadays, there are countless gaming laptops on the market, and only those that are truly distinctive and individual can attract more consumers. Today, when thinness and lightness have gradually become an important parameter when purchasing a computer, MSI has decided to innovate to change the positioning of traditional gaming laptops in the minds of gamers. Although the CPU and GPU of the MSI GS60 gaming notebook are not really top-tier configurations, they are considered sub-top configurations among notebook configurations. They are still very powerful and can easily handle most large-scale 3D games and can satisfy the vast majority of game enthusiasts. needs. Mobile gaming artifacts definitely have their place.
