除Alienware之外，微星也是有勇气推出搭配可选外置图形加速器的游戏设备厂商之一。不过，这个冒险的概念得到了很好的实施。由于高功率的Core i7-4870HQ在待机状态下就已经让风扇工作得十分辛苦，这可能会让用户望而却步。更不用说它的Turbo加速在负载下几乎无法得到利用。除此之外，机身的稳定性，电池续航，点击触控板和连接性都不尽理想。

除此之外，微星在很多方面都做得不错。不论是在设计，屏幕或者拓展坞：GS30在大多数部分都得到了很好的分数。搭配台式版显卡，这款13寸设备变身为一个强劲的游戏平台，可以在高设置下流畅运行几乎所有最新游戏。

如何为这样一台设备归类成为了一个难题。实际上G30应该属于一台亚笔记本，因为它集成了Iris Pro 5200显卡，不过这与它的概念并不符合。最后，我们决定将这台测试机放入“游戏本”的分类中，因为你并不需要单独购买它拓展坞中的显卡。

考虑到这块GeForce GTX 970在测试的性能表现，它的游戏性能得分应该可以达到100％而非84％（Iris Pro 5200），而他的总分也会提高3％。我们在总分中为它增加了这3个百分点。如果没有GamingDock拓展坞，它的总分回事79％而飞82％。
