    Not sure where I should post this or if someone has already mentioned it here, Schenker Notebooks is releasing an ultra slim gaming notebook ala MSI GS70, might even be a rebranded Msi from the looks of it, they usually rebrand Clevo models, I suppose it would be nice of them to offer MSI barebones too, not sure if it is the MSI though from what they say about the battery it would appear that it is not, anyways it looks hot and the price is pretty hot aswell .

    That indeed looks exactly the same as the MSI GS70. Indeed pretty weird considering XMG only rebrands Clevo's.

    I meant more this logo:



    Snake eyes aren't too bad, but still a little too flash for me.
