    For those with GS60, what is the actual weight? Saw so many versions online, from 1.9kg to 2.04kg. I wonder what is the weight for those with M.2/msata SSD only?

    As I'm not a gamer, I do not need the graphic card, can I uninstall it?

    I simply interested in its lightweightness and i7 4710HQ.

    Out of curiosity, why are you interested in the GS60 if you won't make use of the graphics card? Is it purely for the MSI design? Because I am sure that you can get slightly thinner high-end non-gaming ultrabooks at a slightly cheaper price, that wouldn't have the cooling of a high-end graphics card to deal with.

    Because I'm looking for the lightest possible 15" laptop with Quad Core CPU... XPS 15 is actually much more expensive... (btw I have the i5-4200H version, with mSata ssd only, 1.925kg). There is no other laptop that lighter than 2kg with quad core.
