City of Industry, Calif. - August 5, 2014 - MSI Computer Corp, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions, unveils the world's thinnest and lightest mobile workstation, the WS60.  Powered by state-of-the-art technologies, including NVIDIA® Quadro® K2100M 3D graphics, Intel® CoreTM i7 processor and MSI's Super RAID technology, MSI's newest workstation weighs only 4.36 lbs., measures less than 0.8-inches thick, and delivers superior performance in an unprecedented sexy design.

"The WS60 is the perfect workstation for mobile designers and CAD CAM Engineers," says Andy Tung, president of MSI Pan America.  "It combines the versatility of an ultrabook with the performance of a workstation and takes it to another level with Thunderbolt connectivity, MSI's Shortcut Manager, and an array of gaming components."

Superior Performance

MSI's WS60 offers the fastest processing speed available in an ultra-slim workstation.  Featuring the latest 4th generation CPU from Intel® and NVIDIA® Quadro® K2100 professional graphics, the WS60 can blaze through even the most demanding tasks.  MSI enhances its prowess by adding Super RAID to seamlessly integrate 2x SSDs and 1x HDD storage for over 1000 MB/s of read speed, dual fan technology for maximum heat dissipation while remaining whisper quiet, and Thunderbolt 2 connectivity.  Thunderbolt 2 comes with 4K and 3D video output and dramatically increases transfer speeds up to 20 GB/s, 4 times faster than a USB 3.0 port.

Outstanding Design

The WS60 sheds the bulky and boxy design of traditional workstations.  Inspired by the acclaimed look of MSI's gaming notebooks, the WS60 has a full metallic body with MG-Li alloy parts that guarantee utmost durability, visual appeal and feather-like weight.  Measuring less than 0.8-inches thick and weighing only 4.36 lbs., the WS60 is a featherweight notebook with ultra-heavyweight performance.

Stunning Display

Creating digital art requires a screen that accurately displays true-to-life colors and captures every minute detail. MSI has outfitted the WS60 with a vibrant WQHD+ 3K display for those who demand a high level of detail in their work.

Certified for Professionals

All MSI workstation laptops, including the WS60, guarantee optimal performance with professional 3D programs like SolidWorks and more with certification from these software giants.

Added Features

MSI's WS60 is packed with professional-grade parts, including a SteelSeries full-color backlight keyboard with Anti-Ghost keys to guarantee superior tactile feedback, Killer Game Networking chip to optimize internet bandwidth, and MSI's Shortcut Manager.  MSI's Shortcut Manager allows designers and engineers to program keys and combines multiple keys into a single command key, increasing efficiency and speed.

The WS60 is currently available in two different configurations starting at $2,299.99. For more information on MSI's entire selection of workstations and mobile solutions, visit us.msi.com, or see them at Siggraph 2014 at booth #853.
