Separately, MSI introduced a similar mobile PC aimed at professional users.
MSI GT60 (model 2OD-261US) is based on Intel Core i7-4700MQ “Haswell” central processing unit as well as Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M graphics processing unit. The laptop features 16GB of DDR3L memory as well as 128GB solid-state drive in addition to 1TB hard drive. The notebook is equipped with Killer E2200 wired network adapter as well as Killer N1202 wireless network adapter, both of which are specifically designed for gamers. The full color backlit keyboard of the laptop is also tailored for gaming. The system comes with Dynaudio premium speakers with subwoofer.

While the resolution is lower than that on the Apple MacBook Pro 15.6” with retina display (which features 2880*1800 resolution), the MSI GT60 is the first laptop aimed at gamers with a retina-class screen.
MSI also introduced its newest Adobe Creative Suite 6, AutoDesk and SolidWorks optimized GT60 workstation (model 2OKWS-278US) with 3K display, the GT60 2OKWS-278US. It shares similar technologies with its gaming counterpart, including the latest Intel processor, SteelSeries backlit keyboard and Killer Doubleshot wireless, but is outfitted with an Nvidia Quadro K3100M GPU and a Blu-ray disc burner.
Both the GT60 gaming and GT60 Workstation take advantage of the Matrix Display capability that simultaneously supports up to 3 external displays to create 4 independent displays, transforming it into a multi-tasking desktop replacement. Both notebooks also come with Cooler Boost 2 technology to efficiently lower system temperature and Audio Boost to maximize volume and sound fidelity for your headset.
