If you’re looking for a gaming laptop that combines elegant design, power, and portability, then the newly redesigned MSI GS65 Stealth is an absolute winner. It’s thin and light enough to be used as both a working notebook and a relatively powerful gaming PC, and thanks to some smart design, it’s actually slightly smaller than most 15″ laptops, while offering the same amount of screen real-estate. The redesign improves upon an excellent foundation with a hardware refresh (including a 9th Gen processor and Nvidia’s Pascal-architecture-in-a-GTX 1660 Ti) and an improved touchpad. 

That performance isn’t wasted. The Stealth packs a 144Hz display, a great panel to pair with the new CPU and GPU. It’s also got a speedy and relatively capacious (by solid state standards) SSD drive, which helps speed up boot times and shave a few seconds off in-game loads. There’s also the now industry standard 16GB helping of DDR4 at 2666Mhz, plenty of RAM for the current bumper crop of triple-A extravaganzas.

The battery life is very impressive too at 87Whr, and there are some lovely flourishes, like an RGB-capable Steelseries keyboard, a powerful webcam, and the aforementioned silky smooth glass touchpad. It’s a perfect hybrid machine for gaming or work, and one of the most elegant looking laptops we’ve gotten our hands on.
