    This laptop can be summarized in one sentence, worth every penny. I had to carry around this laptop for school every day and it's sleek design made it easy to do that. This laptop is pretty much powerful enough to run a decent slot of games. Overwatch is a great example. I highly recommend this laptop.

    This is probably one of the best laptops that I have owned so far. It is super fast and doesn't get too loud. I like the slim form factor and it is well made, the materials are really nice as well. I play GTA V online just fine, It hasn't crashed on me or anything yet. So far, I am very pleased!

    This was a laptop that I purchased after my previous one was no longer viable, and I would consider it an upgrade. It is very light weight, has a great keyboard and screen. The specs are exactly what I wanted for my gaming needs, and the price I paid was worth every penny. Highly recommend!

    I am more of a Mac person, but needed a PC for work. I decided to splurge and get a nicer laptop that could also double as a gaming rig. It has been great so far. I love the sleek, lightweight design and the light-up keyboard is really cool. My only issue is that the fans can get quite loud.

    Sleeper Build, Gaming/School

    Bought this laptop for my daughters school. She also wanted to play games. This laptop is perfect for her needs. The gaming is right up there with the big flashy gaming laptops, but in a basic style(sleeper build). Great for anyone looking for a good gaming laptop but a "business" look.

    This laptop is amazing for any college student. Keyboard is very great for both, writing and for gaming. I would highly recommend this laptop to anyone who isn't trying to break bank but still wants a great gaming laptop and school laptop. Last perk is this laptop is very lightweight.

    I bought this laptop mainly for video and audio editing and it runs all my programs perfectly and renders videos quicker than what I am used to. I also use it for games and editing in photoshop, and it runs very smooth, perfect for anything you need to do, whether it's work or play.

    This computer was everything that I wanted. I just started school as a computer science major and this computer is powerful enough for everything that I will need. It is also so light that carrying it around campus is no hassle at all. It's perfect for all my school work, and gaming.

    Excellent gaming laptop

    I came into the store expecting to buy the Dell G7 - which has the same hardware setup but is $500 cheaper than the MSI. After looking them over (and picking them up) though, the MSI had me convinced. It is lighter, thinner, and cheaper than the budget gaming laptops and it terms of look and feel it has a lot more in common with the $2000 laptops. The keyboard feels great, with a solid return that is more in line with a mechanical keyboard than rubber domes. The steelseries RGB is excellent and a nice touch. The screen, while not quite as pretty as the 4k UDH displays that the $2000 machines have, is gorgeous for the price point and way, way better than the screens on the budget gaming laptops. The 1060 does have a decent bit of fan noise if you are playing something that is really using it. During non-gaming activities you run on the integrated graphics and it is completely silent. I would say it is similar to most other laptops sporting a 1060 or 1070.

    This laptop is much more powerful than my old one. If you want a laptop that is powerful but don't want to pay top of the line prices, this one is for you. The design is ergonomic, lightweight, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. All around I am very satisfied with MSI's product.

    I got this laptop for school and maybe for a little gaming. I did have the Acer predator Helios 300 in mind though while looking and then I had stumbled upon this pc. I would highly recommend this laptop is very lightweight and portable for gaming or for school work on the go. Since it is a lightweight and very portable laptop the fans do get quite loud if you put it on cool boost mode but if you are just planning on doing editing and writing on this it shouldn't be a problem

    A gaming laptop that doesnt mess around.

    I recently purchased the MSI GS63 Stealth and I am extremely happy with it. I was a bit skeptical because the price is so high compared to some of the other entry level gaming laptops however you are definitely receiving what you are paying for. The first thing I noted was how well packaged the laptop was. It basically came in its own little built to fit box wrapped in a nice MSI cloth. Upon firing up the laptop and setting everything up I proceeded to download Counter Strike GO... in record speed. My desktop PC, which is a normal stock PC albeit new, could not match the type of speed at which this laptop was downloading. While playing the game I experienced no lag nor did I lag during GTAV, Dark Souls 3, or Witcher 3. While the laptop boasts a great fan cooling system I would still recommend grabbing a cooling pad because depending on your session things could get a little hot. Regardless Im definitely pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

    Great computer, suburb for video & photo editing. Fast render times. Colored keyboard is great, although I wish i knew when caps and num locks were on/off. Love the matte screen, seems like a rare thing these days. Computer is light and build quality is solid. 4.8 of 5 stars

    Great laptop for a great price

    I needed to upgrade from my GPU-less 4gb RAM Lenovo, and so I picked this computer. I was going to purchase the Zephyrus GM501 for the higher refresh screen, but this MSI has a nicer, muted design and is way lighter. The computer is powerful and fast, and the screen looks lovely! I was worried about bezels since thin bezels are all the rage right now. But they weren't overbearing at all and the wonderful screen more than makes up for it. Viewing angles are great and the colors seem good, although I can't find any stats. I'm coming from a computer with horrible color gamut so this one really goes above and beyond in comparison. The screen is nice and bright too. I would say though, the battery life, track pad, and keyboard design leave a lot to be desired. The track pad is good, but you have to press pretty hard to make clicks. It doesn't feed cheap or anything though. The keyboard is ok, but the font used on the keys isn't cute at all. It throws off the design of the device with how gamer-y it looks. Finally, the battery life isn't amazing. I can get over 4 hours easily with light browsing and file management, with brightness set to low and keyboard RGB shut off, but of course 4 hours isn't amazing when compared to other devices. I don't bring my laptop out and about though so it's not a deal breaker for me. Overall I think this is a great device, especially for anyone who is looking for to upgrade from a really old and weak device. I don't game much or anything but my content creation programs run like a dream now which is great! Plus this computer is really nice to carry. It's light and has a night shape, especially compared to the GM501. The design is nice and subtle and even the non-techies around me agree. This would be a great device for a student who uses heavy creative programs or games a lot.

    After my previous Lenovo laptop became unable to stay on for more than thirty minutes at a time without overheating, I decided to try out an MSI laptop. Keyboard looks amazng, can run anything I toss at it, and is all around an amazing laptop, especially for the form factor.

    This laptop is really fantastic... it can handle the games I want to play on, but of course all that processing power and compatability means it can handle anything I throw at it. Nice, sleek, great screen and graphics card, great processing power... No complaints with it

    Great gaming laptop with minimal problems

    The MSI is put in the best way is simply amazing. The only issue is that I haven't had it for very long(3months) but so far it's been a very fun experience knowing that I can basically play anything I want. The only issue is when the laptop starts heating up too much it begins to slow down by a lot. This can be fixed by turning the fan settings all the way up. However, the fan setting is super loud. That's all I can really say about the MSI at the moment.
