This is nearly the exact laptop as the MSI Gaming Ghost GS60, missing Dynadio speakers, but has the upgraded front camera from 720P to 1080p and the top lid is a different design. The weight and height see like wishful marketing since it's essentially 95% the same chassis. If you get the 2x128GB mSATA RAID 0 version, you are actually paying more than the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 3K-095 model:

Maingear also charges $179 for a 2-year warranty but MSI offers this for free:

MSI: 2 Years Limited Warranty (Includes 1 Year Global Warranty)

What was Maingear thinking that no one would notice they are selling nearly identical product for more $ and lower warranty?  :)
