Do you want a gaming laptop that stands out at a LAN, or when you take it to your friend’s house, or are suddenly promoted and need to do presentations at work?

If you answered yes, we have a suggestion: the MSI GS60 Ghost Gold Limited Edition gaming laptop.

The first thing you will notice is that the laptop is, as the name suggest, gold in colour. Secondly, once again as the name suggests, it is a limited edition.

Our mates over at Evetech said only 5 units are coming into SA, so stocks really are limited.

Before we get into the specs and details, we have to get the small matter of the price out of the way. How much does a limited edition gold laptop cost? R26,999.

Take a look at the table, below, for the major specs of the golden beauty. Worth noting is the 3K display, which gives gamers a 2880 x 1620 resolution on the 15.6-inch screen.

The gold Ghost also features an Intel i7-4710HQ processor, an Nvidia GeForce GTX870M 3GB, and 16GB of DDR3 RAM.

MSI take pride in the laptops size, too, punting it as the “thinnest and lightest” 15.6-inch gaming notebook on the market. From the pictures posted below, it does look rather skinny.
