So far so good, I have on this laptop now for a couple of weeks and I really enjoyed how sleek and Powerful it is. It is a little loud as far as the fan then I use a laptop cooling pad underneath but aside from this it is a cool looking laptop that can handle photo and video editing on a 4K level for me.

The aesthetic of this laptop is understated (in a good way) compared to many gaming laptops.
When I purchased the unit in August 2019, it was $1,899. Including the current generation Intel Core i7, 32GB of RAM, and an RTX 2060 GPU, it seemed to be one of the most well-priced ultra-thin gaming laptops that I'd come across in weeks of research.
The touchpad is nice (unless you've previously used Mac - in which case it will take some getting used to.
Came with 512GB NVMe SSD + an empty NVMe slot, so I was very happy to get my total storage up to 1.5TB.
Things to keep in mind: This is a thin laptop - to get decent fan performance, they need to be absolutely blasting, which can be a bit loud. Also - I wanted to be able to plug in and unplug the laptop from my desk with a simple Thunderbolt 3 cable - and while it does have ONE well specced TB3 x4 PCIe plug, unfortunately the power still uses an ancient DC barrel connector. Think of something like a Razer Blade, which can do absolutely everything throug its one TB3 port.
These are minor complaints. Overall, especially for the price point, I strongly recommend this product.

This is my very first gaming laptop and I must confess I’m very impressed with this laptop. The games I have played so far runs smoothly. I have also used it for video editing too. Another feature I like about this laptop is that I can customize the keyboard light to my liking. The only problem I have so far is that this laptop gets hot when I’m playing games like Gears 5. However with cooling pad I use, it keeps this laptop cool but not that cool when I play Gesrs 5. With other games like FIFA, Control, it doesn’t get that hot with cooling pad. I surmise Gears 5 is a powerful game that’s why this laptop gets hot. Other than that I’m happy.

This laptop is very fast and the IPS screen is super sharp. The case is made of metal and is very sturdy. It has an integrated graphics chip to reduce power consumption when not using the 2060. My 3d mark 9 scores were right under 4k gaming machine. It also has very little bloatware on it. The color programmable keys are amazing.

Even though there are cheaper similar respect laptops even though there are cheaper similarly spect laptops the bill quality on this MSI stealth is awesome. Having 32GB of RAM from the get-go makes wanting to upgrade this less of a necessity more of only having 32GB a ram from the get-go makes one in to upgrade this less of a necessity and more of a luxury to upgrade to the maximum of 64GB of ram that this board can handle the SSD that's included is on the slower side so I will be upgrading that will the Samsung 970 Evo 1tb. The other great thing about this laptop is that it has a 240 hertz refresh screen and you can definitely tell the difference as I've turned it down to 144 then back up to 240 and can definitely tell. Gaming looks smooth and no lag in the game I play in the game I play. The only issu I have is doing any upgrades will take patience due to the mother board being flipped. When it's on sale it's a stellar deal for what you get

Thin and Light, Great Screen, Specs and Price

This is an awesome Thin and Light. Picked it up for $200 off. It has awesome specs, I plan to use this for development and gaming. The screen has great color accuracy and a high refresh rate. I'm having fun with the RGB keyboard, though it was not part of my initial consideration. The keyboard has good travel and feels solid, not quite ThinkPad level, but not awful either, i.e. MacBook. I was considering getting the lower model with the 1660ti, but glad I got this one which also can do some ray-tracing. As an added bonus it supports Thunderbolt, which is great for docking.

Just purchased it a week ago. I think this will be enough time to experience with it. The screen is awesome, color accurate is truly recommended for who want to create contents such as photos, videos. This also bring to users quite good experience with Ultra setting for most of current gaming demand. I has played Dota2, Battlefield V, AC Odyssey so far. They are all handling well.

I'm not a gamer but I wanted performance and that's what I got. My only critique is the battery life. It doesn't seem to last more than a couple hours not plugged in. I may reach out to the manufacturer about this.
A:Yes you can. There is another M2 slot, but the downside is it on the other side of the motherboard so you need to remove the motherboard to get access to it.
A:I am getting 240 at 1ms paired with a 27" Predator Monitor. You have to use the Displayport connection. I wasn't able to get it through HDMI. It is very fast.
A:A second M.2 drive can be added by disassembling the laptop. It's not very straightforward, but there are guides online and if you've got the right tools (plastic spudger, small phillips head and patience) you can add a second drive. I added mine in about 40 minutes. There is no place to put a conventional drive of any size or type - only m.2 drives (gum stick size)
