  • Owner's manual

Q: Will the oculus rift s work with the msi gs75 stealth?

A: Yes. I recently purchased this laptop and it works great with the RiftS. You will need to purchase a Thunderbolt 3 to Displayport adapter from Amazon. This adapter is not sold at bestbuy. Do Not purchase the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 (mini displayport) adapter because it will not work.

Q: Is this actually i9 or i7?? ....

A: It’s a 9th generation I7. It gets confusing lol

Q: What is the Max RAM for this machine?

A: Comes with 32gb expandable to 64gb.

Q: What is the difference between this laptop and the GS75 STEALTH-247 variant that is $100 more expensive but has half of the hard drive size? Do either of these have nvme?

A: In addition, the $100 more expensive variant uses Windows 10 Pro (as opposed to Windows 10 Home), which is utterly useless for all purposes outside of security.

Q: Is this laptop compatible with Valve's Index VR?

A: Yes, there is a way to make the MSI GS 75 stealth compatible with a VALVE index VR headset. You will, unfortunately, have to buy a thunderbolt USB type C adapter for it, though. You will need a thunderbolt USB type C to DisplayPort adapter. I have an MSI GS 75 stealth and an Oculus Rift S VR headset myself, and once I got the adapter, I was able to use my VR headset with no problems. I hope this helps.

Q: Is the hard drive a NVMe ?

A: 242 is standard 1TB SSD. The 247 comes with 512 GB NVMe SSD

Q: Does the 242 model come with the 80w or 90w version of the RTX 2080 MaxQ?

A: The previous version of this machine came with the 80 Watt. This one (with the 9750H) definitely comes with the 90 Watt. I checked the Nvidia Control Panel before I bought it.
