MSI’s desktop GPU-equipped laptop is one helluva gaming and VR rig

Gamers have had a lot to complain about when it comes to the scaled-down graphics processors companies like AMD and Nvidia cram into laptops. That’s why MSI and Nvidia teamed up to fit a full desktop GPU into an oversized notebook — and the result is a spectacular gaming rig.

MSI’s GT72S Dominator Pro G Dragon is a honking 17-inch on-the-go desktop that features the GeForce GTX 980 desktop video card and an Intel Core i7 CPU. It also comes with a 32GB of DDR4 memory, a SteelSeries keyboard, and the option of a G-Sync monitor. That’s a ton of power, and it only weighs 8.4 lbs.
