    Looking good Myco :)

    Will Tobi be incorporated to other machines? Is that docking station looking thing, the new GS30 dock for graphics card? Will it be used with GS40 in the future perhaps? Will you appear also at PAX South? hahaha :)

    Is there a guesstimate date for the gs40 with the docking port for the external graphics?

    No GT62 at CES 2016

    As far as I know, we've only collaborated with Tobii on the GT72S, although I wouldn't doubt the possibility of us working together to bring the Tobii Eye Tracking experience on our other laptops! :)

    Unfortunately, our team will not be able to attend PAX South. I know we're working on having our laptops there so they'll have a presence!.

    This new dock will be compatible with the GS30 and GS40! Right now, the closest thing I have to a release date is Q2 2016. ;)

    Looks to use the old connector for the full 16x connection, hopefully it fits the old dock as it's more fun for modders.

    Hey iTzZent!

    The GS72 will come in a standard 1080p display or a 4K display panel. Slim chassis with an i7-6700HQ, GTX 970M.
    The docking station for the new GS40 can carry a graphics card up to a 980TI. It's also backward compatible with a GS30 has well.

    Our new GL series is an entry to the lower spectrum of the notebook gaming side, for those who want to game but not necessarily on the highest specs. You can also expect it to be priced accordingly.

    So we have:

    GT => Gaming Thick

    GS => Gaming Slim

    GE => Gaming Entry-level

    GL => Gaming... Low-End? Light? Or?

    Trying to decide between the GS60 and the GS72. Does the new GS72 have a USB C port or are the USB3.1's type A?

    I'll let you decide what it stands for :)

    Hey yandros!

    The new GS72 does not have a USB Type-C port. However, the Type A's are indeed USB3.1!

    Thanks. Do we know which side of the motherboard the GS72's SSD will be on? Or will we have to wait for someone to get it and pull it apart. Whicher I get I will be wanting to up the SSD to at least 500gb, and I know the GS60 is on the top side so its a pain (read get a shop) to change it. Wondering about the GS72.
