81% 微星 GS40 6QE Phantom笔记本电脑简短评测 | Notebookcheck
热能矮人。 Skylake四核,GTX 970M和不错的14寸屏幕:微星的设备处在一个十分狭小的超便携游戏本类别中,它可以满足所有的性能需要。不过想得到这样的性能需要在其他方面做出让步。

The MSI GS40 6QE Phantom is a good gaming laptop, boasting a good array of features and components, and it doesn't have any glaring weaknesses. Its GTX 970M card is capable of 30fps gaming at 1080p on the highest settings for most games (though the newest, demanding titles will challenge this number), and there's a lot of storage—an especially notable offering for a 14-inch laptop.

MSI once again delivers an outstanding machine for the price, with an excellent mix of interior components combined with a classy display. The plastic build quality does feel a little cheap, but we can’t really complain when it’s possible to buy a truly game-ready laptop for less than two and a half grand.

Would I like to own the MSI GS40 Phantom? Yes, indeed! It's extremely portable at 3.5 lbs., in fact it's lighter than the Dell XPS 15 and it has a faster graphics card too, which means high to ultra settings on today's AAA titles. It's a nice looking, though not exceptionally attractive notebook and the SteelSeries RGB keyboard is good for gaming and typing at length.

Source: Techspot English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The GS40 Phantom 6QE will set you back $1,599 in its standard configuration, which is a reasonable price for the hardware that’s included with this machine. It is around $100-150 more expensive than Gigabyte’s competing P34W v5 that I reviewed earlier, but in my eyes this laptop is worth the extra money due to its better build, superior keyboard and trackpad, and extra features including more RAM. Plus, at $1,600 we’re only talking about a price difference of six percent.

The MSI GS40 Phantom gaming laptop costs more ($1,599 directly from MSI or $50 less at Staples when they get it back in stock) than most of the Windows notebooks we review, but it also offers better hardware than the average Windows laptop. Gamers and people who want powerful hardware will enjoy the Phantom. It’s stylish, fast, and made well. The display, keyboard and speed mean power users will also enjoy it for general computing tasks. Photo, video and music creation pros will love the power. It’s not cheap, but it’s also not over-priced.

70% MSI GS40 Phantom review – a G60 in a smaller package
Source: Ultrabook Review English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
I think those who prefer a small and powerful laptop will appreciate what the MSI GS40 has to offer. It certainly delivers in terms of hardware specs, performance, cooling solution and screen quality. And is certainly fairly priced, but the keyboard and the speakers are two important aspects that might turn your towards something else.

Of all the gaming laptops I have reviewed, the MSI GS40 Phantom is one of the most exciting one. The reason is simple. I love gaming laptops that are small in size and can pack a fast GPU. Priced around 7499 AED, the MSI GS40 is surprisingly cheaper than the other MSI laptops we have reviewed.

The MSI GS40 Phantom is big news in the world of small gaming notebooks. Not only does it have nearly identical performance relative to its two closest competitors, but it delivers it while costing several hundred dollars less. At $1,599, the GS40 Phantom is a downright bargain compared to the Aorus X3 Plus ($2,299) and the 2015 Razer Blade ($2,399).

Well, the MSI GS40 6QE is a very nice compact gaming laptop. It does most of what you’d except : very good gaming performance, very good 1080p IPS display, reasonable temperatures even under highest load, and it’s compact and lightweight. Keyboard is very good in my experience, at least for most people. The 16GB DDR4 RAM and 128GB NVMe SSD makes it even better and result in a very good experience overall.

Overall, the MSI GS40 6QE is a great choice for those looking for a portable high end gaming notebook. While there are a couple issues to be ironed out, there are few competing notebooks out there that offer the type of performance the GS40 Phantom offers in a sub 1″ thick, 14″ form factor.
