    The MSI computer is an amazing computer. It is super fast and extremely light. The graphics on the screen are in amazingly high definition. This computer works great for both programming games and playing them. The fan keeps it cool so it doesn't overheat or burn your legs if you just have it sitting on your lap. This computer blew me away with it's performance for the price.

    This laptop is excellent for entry level gaming. The keyboard lights up in a with amazing color and actuates smoothly. The finish on it is superb and feels premium. The track pad is as accurate as you want it to be and the sound is decent. Couldn't ask more from a fairly priced vr ready machine. The speed of this thing will blow you away if your coming from an older laptop.

    I've spent the day setting up this laptop and am amazed by how quickly and smoothly things are going. It has been running for 5 hours straight now catching up on downloads and updates and everything is still cool. The Steelseries keyboard is always a win. This product was highly recommended to me, and so far has been keeping up with all of the good things said about it.

    This is the best Laptop so far that competes with gaming Desktop. The graphic are nice and clean for any graphic game. The lights on the keyboard are entertaining to look at. Everything feels a little compact but you have all the key function are there. Great for video editing and live streaming. The cooling is the most important part. With a cheap fan pad this computer stay cool even after gaming for 3 hours straight. There'll be slight heating near the monitor because are out to the edge, but the venting blows out top and bottom, having the heat evenly vented. all and all it's worth the price at this time.

    Good for any games especially the huge games, such as WOW, Witches. It is lighter than I expecting, also I like the flashing light when I am using the keyboard and don't bother me when I am playing. The graphic card is powerful and support the VR games that I really like.

    I was unsure to get this laptop because I'm not too keen on MSI laptops and the original laptop I was looking for wasnt at the store I was at. BUT BOY, am I glad that I got this laptop. It looks good, powerful, gets the job or jobs done, and the light show that you have for a keyboard is just crazy (especially the features). I suggest this laptop to anybody.

    As a college student I needed a powerful but portable computer, and the MSI Stealth fits the bill. Shes really light which is great for the shoulders, but still has plenty of power under the hood: GTA 5 runs great with no lag. The Stealseries keyboard is also a nice touch and the lights are fun to mess around with. A great buy for the gamer or student on the go.

    Recently having purchased a MSI GS63 Stealth 8RE, here is my review of the laptop. From the first start up it has shown to be uniquely reactive and on a visual stand point is a true gem to behold. MSI has managed to bundle together the perfect package of power and aesthetics to make a laptop that is not only well rounded, perennial and agreeable to use, but also transportable and robust. Once the onslaught of Microsoft updates are finished to pass to build 1803 of Windows 10, one finds a stable and agreeable laptop ready to attach any and all projects or games including even the most demanding in resources. Best Buy has once again outdone itself in offering a true value at a price that is well affordable on today’s market. I can wholeheartedly recommend this gaming laptop with no qualms whatsoever!

    Very Impressed

    This laptop really helped me in a pinch. I do not game, however I am a 3D Generalist. I need something powerful for rendering and design. I had a huge project that I needed to speak about, and demo in a meeting. My work PC was rendering for the next 14 hours and my laptop could not handle the scene. I flew to Best Buy and picked this guy up. It handled the real time demo, and heavy workload just fine. I am very impressed by what this small form factor can do. The processor is amazing, and I am getting great performance in Cinema 4d, 3ds Max and Blender. The GPU has had no trouble rendering a few of the scenes that I have tested. I do not have Vray on this machine yet, however I believe that it will work great. I would recommend that Norton is NOT the pre-installed AV. It kept deleting one of my Nahimic3 .dll's and a .dll from the Dragon Center latest update, very annoying. Also, I hope that I am able to replace the 1tb HDD with an SSD without voiding my warranty, I was told this may be the case. I have already had 3 co-workers asking what laptop I used in the demo, they seemed like they were all interested in buying one now. Good job MSI, I have used your Motherboards and GPU's for years at home, I'm glad I now have a mobile solution too.

    The MSI laptop is an amazing computer that I highly recommend to anyone in need of a quick, no-nonsense computer. The features such as a chromatic keyboard makes it great for personalizing the setup. When running programs such as Photoshop, All features were readily available and high quality, allowing me to get my edits done. On the side of videos and media, watching services like Twitch or using social media such as Discord was seamless, and never buffered or ran into error. However, on a negative side, the touchpad and power inlet were quite inconvenient. Whenever gaming on multiplayer shooters such as Fortnite, the touchpad would interfere with the gameplay, and it was not a fun task digging through settings to disable it. (Note: This does not apply to those NOT using external mice) Another design con is the location of the charging port. It makes it very uncomfortable to use whenever the mouse is close to the plug, and I constantly find myself bumping into it. However, despite a few design choices, this laptop is an amazing laptop for multiple types of media! Photo edits, chats, and media is wonderfully smooth on this laptop, and I believe it's a perfect choice for anyone looking for a great multi-purpose laptop!

    A very good deal and a very satisfactory laptop

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Not exactly a gaming person, I nevertheless bought the laptop for its power (I run machine learning libraries a lot, which requires a decent graphic card), durable all-steel outer case design (I have already broke the hinges on 2 hp envy laptops through a lot of carrying-around), and the low price tag. The laptop is thinner than I could have expected, and the gaming peripherals are a bonus. Only downside is probably the quality of MSI's support, but I can fix most of my own computer problems so I don't really mind.

    This laptop is lightweight, easy to use, and packs a punch in the performance department. This laptop can handle most 2018 and older games with ease on medium to high settings. MSI is one of the best hardware manufacturers around, worth every penny.

    This laptop is awesome! It has more than enough power to handle any games I want to run such as Fortnite. It boots up fast and stays cool. The fans are not too loud even when the laptop is running hard. The laptop feels solid but it's not heavy. I recommend getting the Geek Squad protection plan if you are going to invest in this machine.

    Pros: Even though the laptop is of the previous generation it houses the new i7-8750H making this a very strong laptop especially for the price. Cons: Because it is a powerful device it tends to generate heat faster. One minor problem is that the heat will begin to ramp up quickly and not allow for gaming on your lap (it becomes hot and uncomfortable) If you don't use the laptop on your lap and keep it on a table it is an excellent buy but because I sometimes have to do work from the couch it begins to heat my legs more quickly then previous laptops I've owned

    Super Fast, Nice Sleek Design, and very thin

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The core i7 in this computer combined with the gtx video card just makes this computer a real beast. I can play basically any game with great frames. One thing that catches my eye and everyone else, is the design it's just so sleek (but does leave a lot of fingerprints). And also the laptop is very thin which is surprising. this one guy in my class at school even said," dang you are so lucky your laptop is so thin. I brought my Alienware computer once before and I am never bringing it again."
