MSI GS43?

Leak! The GS43VR Phantom Pro-006 is now listed on Amazon and DGXTech for a price of $1766.31, along with most of the specs. (Edit: It's listed as "currently unavailable") Assuming it's all correct, it looks great! Note that some specs are missing though, and MSI still hasn't officially announced the laptop, so these specs shouldn't be taken as the final word yet:

Screen Size: 14 inches (non-reflection)
Max Screen Resolution: 1920 x 1080 pixels
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700HQ Quad Core Processor (2.6-3.5GHz)
RAM: 16GB (8GB x2) DDR4 2133MHz
Storage: 128GB M.2 SSD + 1TB HDD (7200rpm)
GPU: GTX 1060
VRAM: 6GB GDDR5
Wireless: Killer Gaming Network E2400, 802.11 A/C
USB 3.0 Ports: 2
USB-C 3.1 Thunderbolt 3 Ports: 1 (presumably - doesn't give the number, but does say there's a Thunderbolt 3 port)
Item Weight: 3.8 pounds
Item Dimensions L x W x H: 13.59 x 9.65 x 0.87 inches
Operating System: Windows 10

There's no mention of DisplayPorts or HDMI ports, but I'm sure they're their (hopefully HDMI 2.0).

I'm especially digging the full-color keyboard backlighting. If the speakers have been improved over the GS40 and it cools well, this might have to be my next laptop.

The $1766 price does seem a bit high compared to the XoticPC leaked price of the GT62 ($1549), which also comes with a GTX 1060. We'll have to wait to see how the price pans out in the end. We'll probably know next Tuesday, August 16th; according to MSI's "count down clock," that's when they'll officially announce their next generation of gaming notebooks: http://ift.tt/2amC0Fu

Edit: PC Connection also has this notebook listed, though at a pricier $1,866.35: http://ift.tt/2aX0Irg

Edit: The Amazon page for the GS43VR is still up, but now says the product is "currently unavailable." Makes sense, as it still hasn't been launched yet officially. (Also, note that the name of the product incorrectly says it has a 17" screen.)
