↑ Looks bit like a beast going pop out anytime from the box.


↑ Well well, no rushy... one by one... begin with those guide instruction book, warranty care card, etc that come inside..


↑ We can see that this a 90W adapter, which means although the latest Hawell processor and graphic card performances are much more powerful, but it do more economize

↑ Width： 5.7cm


↑ Thickness： 3.15cm


↑ The battery comes with 6 cell 5900 mAh lithium ion battery.


↑ Finally! the beast： Dragon Eyes!!!


↑ The beast had appeared!


↑ I can see you.

↑ From left, the 3.5mm audio output, a microphone port, a card reader and a DVD reader as well as DVD burner.


↑ MSI does paid a lot attention on the portability design, we can see the thickness is just around 2.2cm.

↑ Surprisingly, it does have a metal material touch pad.


↑ "STARTS" power buttons, a button that brings you into totally different gaming experience.


↑ Size different comparing between both MSI high-end spec laptop, GE40 Dragon Eyes has overwhelming on portability.


↑ Time for some "interior"


↑ GE 40 using the exactly same 3 components on graphic card and one on processor.


↑ Build with NSTECH 5V heat release fan.


↑ The thickness is around 9mm

↑ And the component is around 3mm.


↑ 7,200 RPM 750GB HDD by Western Disk

↑ For wireless, GE 40 using a Azurewave AW-NB114 instead of Intel wireless card.


↑ Well... just for reference incase you need it.


↑ 3D Mark in full performance.


↑ Mark of Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn in default setting.


↑ GPU running at average 78 c' at the indoor 26～28 c‘ without air conditioning.


↑ Should just leave him in the office.. big huge laptop


↑ Useful multiple display on HDMI & VGA port.

As we can see, MSI did a great job on the mobility, this is totally differrent from traditional big size gaming laptop that now in market.
It designed for people who seeking the balance on portability, entertainment & use it as work station.
Besides, it doesn't have MSATA port, showing that MSI might add a SSD edition and discard the disk reader.
