Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a superb computer. I am a casual gamer but when looking for a new laptop i had certain requirements. This laptop met all of them and then some. The 1060 graphics card paired with the 8th generation intel processor can handle any game I want to play. The 120Hz refresh rate on the screen makes everything nice and smooth. The RGB per key keyboard from steel series is just a juicy perk to impress your friends and make them jelly. My only complaints are the speakers, which aren't in front of the screen like the grill would have you believe, they are at the front of the computer right next to your hip. They sound a little worse than the typical laptop speaker sound. The other complaint is the heat. But only if you are playing really graphically intensive games. And only if it is on your lap. And even then the box it comes in makes a nice surface to place the computer to prevent the problem. Overall I am super happy with my purchase and would recommend to a friend.

A lot of gaming laptops I have come across were bulky and heavy and that did not work out so well with me; however, the MSI GS63 Stealth is very light yet provides the overall power of the bulky gaming laptops even equal to a PC. Allowing more comfort when bringing it along, it is also convenient for me as a computer engineer student giving a work and play duality. The two hard drives it comes with is very convenient one the regular hard drive for the games and then anything important I know they are safe in the solid-state drive that comes in the laptop. It comes with a great amount of RAM already, so you can jump into gaming immediately, so you do not have to upgrade anything. Overall everywhere I go and whenever I take out my MSI people are impressed by the sleekness, the specifications, the design, and the colors from the SteelSeries keyboard. The greatest investment I made towards a computer and great investment for anyone in the future!

I recently perched this laptop and i am not disappointed with my choice. the hardware works great together. Dragon Center is very nice to have and see everything the PC is doing. the steelseries keyboard feels good and the customization is amazing. the only thing i would change on this PC is the track pad. its not as smooth as i would like. i use a mouse most of the time anyways so its not that big of a deal. there are other PC for the same price and with the same CPU and GPU but i noticed that the MSI has double the SSD space for the same price. I love the slim foam factor and light wight disighn of the PC. all in all this is a amazing laptop and will handle just about anything you through at it. would highly recommend to anyone.

I searched so much before i buy this. Firstly, i am a computer engineer student who is a pc game freak... So i decided to buy a windows os system instead macbook. Also a macbook is too expensive unnecessarily in honest opinion and as you know too much uncompatitables with pc games and even some programming languages... So after unticking macbook,i think on which brand should i go for? well, i was between razer, asus and msi mainly because they have better gaming laptop models... i am glad that i picked msi because: The display is not a touch screen, but it is 15.6 inches and outputs to Full HD Widescreen LED in 1080p (1920 x 1080). The Storage is 256GB Solid State Drive (C:\) and 1TB Hard Disk Drive (D:\), which should be plenty of storage for all your PC games and programs in the long run. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 included in this laptop will certainly handle any game you choose to throw at it, and there are even some games that are specifically supported by it—one of which I’m going to include in this review. 16GB RAM will be enough to run most games at their highest settings, except for far more demanding titles like Final Fantasy XV that recommends 16GB RAM, even though it needs a bare minimum of 8GB RAM just to run. Should you choose that you want to get the most out of such a hefty title, the RAM is upgradable up to 32GB. This laptop holds nothing back with the Intel 8th Generation Core i7-8750H does have a base speed of 2.2 GHz, but it makes even a deep antivirus scan of every single file in the computer take about an average of five minutes. Webpages load within a second, and there is literally no input lag while typing documents over OneCloud during everyday use of the laptop. There is one USB 2.0 Type A and 3 USB 3.0 Type A Ports, one HDMI Outlet, one Thunderbolt 3 Port, one Ethernet Port, built-in webcam, HiFi Headphone jack, microphone jack, and Kingston Lock, and Card Reader. The Audio Technology is Dynaudio Premium Sound Technology, ESS SABRE HiFi audio DAC technology; which provides excellent spatial sound separation even without headphones on. The GS63 Stealth-10 comes preinstalled with all the additional software you could ever think of needing for gaming on a laptop, including: Dragon Center, SteelSeries Engine 3, Nahimic 3, and GeForce Experience. I will be going a little more in detail on these four programs below, along with my impressions of the software. Dragon Center is MSI’s all-in-one dashboard that includes System Monitoring, System Tuner, Gaming Mode, Voice Wizard, Mobile Center, and Tools & Help. System Monitoring monitors the percent use of CPU, GPU, Memory, and the Disk in real time along with the current Device Information and Loading Status. System Monitoring also has the options Free Up Memory and Clean Up Disk. Device Information lists the CPU and GPU by name, the amount of RAM, the SSD and HDD space that is occupied and available for use. Loading Status includes the current Power Plan, Ethernet Speed, Wi-Fi Speed, and the rotation speeds for both fans. System Tuner allows the user to change the setting based on already configures presets that determine such things as the DPI, Shift, Fan Speed, and the MSI’s RGB display setting. System Tuner comes with six different modes to readily choose from called: Current, Performance, Theater, Meeting, Profile 01, Profile 02. Each of these modes have their own setup that can be changed at any time with their own changeable settings that are uniform across all the six modes. I will just be going over the settings in the Current mode for this very reason. Inside of Current, there is a switch to turn the Windows Key on and off, a switch to swap the effects of the Windows Key and the Function Key, a VR Ready Switch, and the earlier mentioned presets. The DPI option can be changed in 25% intervals from 100% to 200%, (i.e. 100%, 125%, 150%, etc.) The Shift option contains the presets Turbo, Sport, Comfort, and ECO along with power options to manually change the power options on the laptop. Fan Speed can be changed from Auto to Basic, Advanced, or Cooler Boost. The MSI’s RGB has the following options: Standard, Anti-Blue, Gaming, Movie, Office, and Light. For games that are supported by it, Gaming Mode can optimize system performance and provide auto-tuning function for the game you are playing. Compatible with TeamSpeak, Raidcall, Skype, SkypeHost, Discord and Steam Client Bootstrapper; Voice Wizard uses VoiceBoost, which Dragon Center describes as an audio mixer than manages the VOIP and game volume proportion that also automatically adjusts. Mobile Center allows you to connect to the Dragon Center remotely with the MSI App. Tools & Help includes Burn Recovery for creating a recovery image, User Manual, Help Desk, Product Registration, Battery Calibration, and Feature Navigator. SteelSeries Engine 3 is a program that allows you to manage, synchronize, and configure any devices that are compatible with the engine, offers a suite of applications that you can configure to interact with your SteelSeries devices, and even allows you to configure custom device configurations for any game that you add to the Engine’s Library—even software you downloaded from Steam. The RGB Keyboard on the laptop is completely customizable in this engine, and comes preinstalled with the following configurations: Aqua, Chakra, Default, Disable, Disco, Drain, Free Way, and Plain. If you’re feeling creative, you can also create your own customizable preset, which will be added to the list of the already existing presets, and all presets can be deleted, renamed, and saved and infinite amount of times. I personally had a lot of fun just experimenting with the presets and customizing my own, especially making color schemes based on a few of my favorite games. This is a very powerful tool to really personalize the laptop and really make it your own. Nahimic 3 is a powerful tool that you can use to optimize the audio coming out of your headphones and going into the microphone, while also providing a Sound Tracker that you can use to track the audio relative to your position in-game. The Audio Effects each include the following effects that you can turn on and off to your personal preference: Surround Sound, Volume Stabilizer, Voices, Bass, and Tremble. Audio Effects are divided into four categories that share the same effect options: Music, Movie, Communication, and Gaming. In each of these categories—in addition to turning the effects on and off—you can readily adjust the DB on Voices, Bass, and Tremble to get the most optimal sound quality from your speakers or headset. The Microphone Effects are divided into two categories named Chat, and Conference; both of which have the same following options that can be turned on and off: Static Noise Suppression, Echo Cancellation, Lateral Sound Cancellation, and Microphone Boost. Static Noise Suppression is the only one of these options that can be adjusted, based on how quiet or how noisy your current environment is at the time—especially cutting out the noise coming from the fans. GeForce Experience gives you access to adjusting the framerate on games, updating the latest driver for the GTX 1060, and the settings that you would want to use for any voice chat or streaming. It even gives you the ability to open the in-game overlay to record video or even to broadcast live without having to open a separate window. I will be concluding this rather lengthy review with my impressions on how well the laptop runs and renders Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, which is also one of the games that is fully compatible and recognizable by GeForce Experience. Upon playing several hours of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, I have found the GTX 1060 really helps to bring out the crisp details even at a far distance at very high settings as well as particle effects such as leaves almost having the appearance that they could just fly out of the screen. I experienced absolutely no lag at all. Additionally, the Surround Sound audio was extraordinary, and I could hear the voices of the disembodied characters from my left, right, and even every angle behind me. Overall, I am beyond satisfied with this laptop, and I would highly recommend it to anyone on the fence of getting a Gaming Laptop. I can certainly guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

HI, I bought this laptop two weeks ago and I love it, it's light and thin and the battery life lasts all day. It runs autocad and sketchup + vray very well. Also the design is sleek and comfortable; and the on-line games run smoothly. Great buy, would definitely recommend.

As a college student, this is the perfect laptop to carry around with you at all times. The weight is light enough you won't notice it in your bag, but carries a punch with Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU. Most computers that have the same internal components weigh so much more and really drag you down if you carry it with you. I bought this computer because I love to game, but I also bought this computer because this doesn't look like your typical gaming laptop. I could take it to class and take notes or do research with it with out people noticing that it is a gaming laptop. Whenever I have downtime no matter where I am at, I could take it out and game which is why I really like this computer. It has the new Intel i7 processor which is super fast and allows me to multitask, 16 gigs of ram which allows me to play virtually any game that is out now, and a 256Gb SATA SSD which is not great, but enough. You can always upgrade to more storage but it looks difficult from the videos I've watched. The computer does come with some negatives. The display is only a 1080p 60hz screen. Most computers in this price range come with at least a 120hz screen. Not a dealbreaker for me, but I do wish it came with a 120hz display. Also, upgrading the ram or the SSD is very difficult. You literally have to take the whole computer apart which is not hard, but very tedious and you have to very careful. If you're looking for a gaming laptop that is portable and doesn't look like your typical gaming laptop then this is the one for you. The laptop has good features and hardware for the price. I really recommend this laptop for students since its small enough to hall around but also capable of playing any game.

Hello Friends, I am both a busy professional and a gamer. I needed something lightweight and mobile enough to transport to Starbucks, but also something where I can play games at a reasonable frame rate. For me personally, this laptop finds the nice balance between 1080p gaming with good framerates, lightweight and thing (as opposed the Alienware beasts that I looked at), and doesn't scream that I am a gamer (for professional settings). Video card and processor are excellent. Battery life is about average, to be expected. Definitely a good value and good computer. +'s - size, weight, value, and gaming ready (Witcher, Wow, etc), lit keyboard -'s - battery life average

I'll keep this review short & sweet; simply because I don't know a ton about laptop specs & and I also because I feel that this laptop simply does all I need it to do, and then some. I am heavy into music production (FL Studio) and I wanted something that could run multiple plugins at once and not have my laptop crash, like my old one did. I also just wanted a significantly faster laptop, as well as one that could run some of my favorite games from time to time. This product exceeds my expectations thus far. Incredibly fast, sleek design, amazing colors on-screen, and on the keyboard as well that is fully programmable. All in all, I love this laptop already!

verry well built laptop stays cool runs flawless can play games for hours upon hours without battery getting hot , battery last a long time can stream games and movies perfect without any lag highley recomend this laptop to any student or gamer

I got this laptop to serve two purposes, being my gaming and work computer. I was looking for a laptop that could be used in any environment including an office or a classroom. This laptop is perfect for that. The specs are great for the price, especially the graphics card which allows me to play any game I want. It is light for everything it offers. The only cons I could find in this laptop are the noise when playing 4k videos or playing games. It gets pretty loud, but it's understandable and I usually have my headphones on. Also, the touch pad is not that great. I found it to be difficult to use at first, you can get used to it with time but I wish it was better, but when gaming I just use a mouse anyways. Overall this is an excellent laptop and it has a lot of things that other laptops in this price range don't offer.

I purchased this laptop after having purchased and returned the HP Omen. Do to its CPU and GPU temperatures being unreasonably high even with a cooling pad and thermal gel. I have only owned this computer for a few days but it is a BEAST it runs anything and everything a great mid range laptop. on top of that it runs much cooler then the omen did hitting temps of around 75 degrees after a few hours of far cry 5. on my old omen I was getting 90s so that's a huge upgrade. The key board is comfortable and for someone like me that has always had smaller sized computers this thing is so sleek and compact. its hard to believe all that crazy hardware is inside. This thing has more ports then you will know what to do with over all very good very high quality machine would recommended highly to all other laptop gamers out there.

This laptop is an all-around beast. I can definitely feel the quality while using it, both in terms of build and hardware. It does get a bit hot as most gaming laptops do, but the fans, albeit a little loud, take care of this. I use this laptop for school and for casual gaming, and it performs such with flying colors, although the battery life is borderline sufficient. I did originally have some concerns about the screen brightness and quality while in the store, but when I used it at home, the brightness was definitely enough and the screen exemplified great quality. Although the price is high, I believe the laptop is worth almost every penny, and I definitely recommend this purchase for anyone looking for a high-end gaming experience (although not 144hz) or simply a laptop with basically the best parts.

This is a great computer until less than a year later when the hinge broke.

bought 3 pc's from Best Buy and the first 2 were great. loved them. This new one has been trouble from the start. On phone to Geek Squad all the time. wish I never bought it. Expensive also. Would not advise.

This laptop is an absolute beast! It can handle any game you throw at it at ultra or high settings. I have had no problems running any applications. It looks great and feels great. As a college student, I appreciate how light it is. I have no problems carrying it around campus. A couple things that I don't particularly like is the logo which protrudes slighting outward from the screen(this is purely and an aesthetic problem for me) and the fact that the laptop runs quite hot about 90 degrees Celsius but only on intensive games like DarkSouls 3 at max settings. One thing to note however you can lower it by using the cooler boost mode on the fans. All in all the laptop is great for multiple different uses and I would 100% recommend it to all of my friends.

This computer is fast! It only took from the first boot up and install Windows 10 to desktop in only 10 minutes. Takes care of any tasks I can throw at it, including coding with C++ and gaming. The 1TB storage is great and is fast for a hard disk drive. The keyboard feels great and the colors are fantastic although the short shift next to the arrow keys is a little annoying to hit sometimes. The computer does not get hot to touch both when laying on your lap or while on a desktop (even when set to turbo), but it does get warm (especially around the left and right sides of the keyboard). I do have a warp under my mini-display port, but it does not cause problems and I won't take stars off for that. Overall this computer is great for school and for gaming.

The storage space is plenty and great for all the files an architecture student accumulates over the years. The laptop is also very powerful, so running rendering programs and Photoshop, etc. is fine. However, when the laptop does get a little hot and the fans whir pretty fast when files are saving. The track pad also isn't the best for clicking or maneuvering, so especially as a digital artist, I definitely need to rely on a mouse. The keyboard is really satisfying to type with though, and it is fun messing around with the keyboard color/light properties. Overall, great laptop!! Would definitely recommend to a fellow architecture student, or any student who is looking for a laptop that processes images fast/efficiently and has a good amount of storage.

I bought this laptop a few days ago and I am honestly not dissapointed. I thought it would be hard to set up and get started but it was one of the easiest things to do. I have been playing fortnite as well as other games on it and it runs just perfect. The graphics are really smooth and there is no lag at all. I have never played in a laptop like this and would totally recommend this to anyone who wants a gaming laptop that runs super smooth with little to no lag problems! P.S - battery is great, the laptop looks are just amazing and the color keyboard is outstanding. 10/10 would buy again

It’s ok. I don’t feel the screen is on par with the price tag.

One of the best gaming laptops on the market currently, incredibly fast, slick, trim design. Gone is the expectation that a gaming laptop is a large bulky beast that burns a hole though your desk (or lap) when running any game at all. This machine by MSI breaks those stereotypes with its slim design and powerful guts. This machine is more than capable of running all current games on their best settings while only making a small amount of fan noise, not nearly as loud as my desktop or even previous laptop. While it does get warm after extended sessions, this computer is well vented and does not get uncomfortably hot. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a powerful laptop that is easy to pack around.
