A few weeks before the Computex 2016 held, Micro-Star
International officially introduces GS73. The GS73 is one of the winners in
Computex d&i awards in 2016, along with mini PC Cubi 2 Plus and Vortex. For
now, the GS73 is still mysterious. The device hasn't had special page on the
MSI website, and in the press release, this Taiwanese company only gives the
product's outlining.
'Monster gaming device in a sleek design', this is a brief
description of MSI GS73. Its body is made of black solid aluminum alloy,
combined with the familiar brushed texture. Two lines at the back of the
notebook don't look as aggressive as in the GS72, now the lines are pushed to
the edge areas, without losing the impression of a sports car style. The grille
heat sink is placed in the rear, framed by a red line.
MSI explained that the bottom is made by using forging
technique in order to ensure the strength of the structure and make the body
thinner. The metal plate in the middle can be customized by professional gamers
to 'show off their unique personalities'. MSI hasn't explained the detail, but perhaps
users may be able to put a name or esport team logo there
That's the only official information given by MSI. But
interestingly, a number of European technology websites (Notebook Check Poland,
Notebook Italia, Notik.ru) have discussed the MSI GS73 since early April. Most
likely the notebook will bring 17.3-inch screen, of course with an update on
the components inside. Intel Skylake chipset will be given there, accompanied
by Nvidia GTX 970M graphics card.
To complete the standard USB 3.0 ports, MSI puts Thunderbolt
3 via USB 3.1 type-C, HDMI 1.4, mini-DisplayPort 1.2, combined with Bluetooth
4.0 as well as the Smart Wi-Fi 802.11ac. For keyboard, MSI collaborates with
SteelSeries, presenting keyboard with LED backlight. Through the SteelSeries
Engine’s software, the users can configure the keyboard, and also specify the
colors in specific areas.
Besides GS73 Stealth, MSI is also preparing GS63 Ghost to
strengthen the line of slim gaming notebooks on 15.6-inch class.
