    I have had my laptop for 2 months, the speakers do not work good at all. Before I purchased the computer I was told that the speakers may have to be replaced because they were defective. I have not yet gotten them fixed, but other than the speakers, it is a great laptop! I use it during the day at work and my boyfriend uses it for gaming. Highly recommend it!

    Computer works great, very tolerant of heavy use. Sound quality isn't awesome but does give option for hi-fi headphones if that's what you like. There is an issue with the glue on the backing of the screen where the plastic/metal are gentle use for only a month separating after , so not the best construction. Overall very usable.

    Best graphic performance, 16 GB ram and 6 GB graphics is the perfect combination and the best thing is, it is lightweight. I wonder how did they fit this much of power in this lightweight machine. Days of the heavy gaming laptops are gone. This is new and you gotta try it!! Best performance, Best price, LIGHTWEIGHT, portable, heavy duty, no problems as so far.

    Great Laptop for gaming and work

    The MSI GS64VR Stealth Pro is a great laptop for someone looking to play games, as well as complete challenging tasks. The screen resolution is perfect at 1080 as I am not into content creation. If your content creation oriented purchase the 4K version. It has a 128GB SSD drive as well as a 1Tb HDD. I would recommend upgrading the 128SSD for more storage and faster function if this Laptop is going to be a workhorse. The keyboard feels good and is back-lit, being adjustable for color. The Geforce GTX 1060 is powerful, and works great in a Laptop so thin. I purchased this Laptop for tasks including Gaming, Pro tools, and College work. I would recommend also purchasing a Laptop cooling pad for this laptop as it has ventilation underneath and it can get noticeably hot on my lap.

    I'll start off saying that I'm a huge gamer and PC nut. My desktop is a fully custom built and custom water cooled loop machine. That being said, I'm used to being spoiled by my computers (or do I spoil them?). I purchased this for the days at work that are relatively slow. You know, where you can be unproductive and no one really cares because they're doing the same thing you are. This computer is very light and offers amazing graphics capabilities at 1080p. Battlefield 1 on Ultra still provides 60fps. I gave this 4 stars because the software that MSI has chosen to pre-load is touchy at best. The Nahimic2 sound-engine is pretty much worthless. The steelseries engine 3 is about the same. Stop installing junk-ware on such awesome machines! If this software wasn't so touchy, I'd love what the software itself offers. But, software is worthless if it doesn't work regularly.

    Great computer... with a terrible track pad

    Computer works great - I'm using it for the HTC Vive system and it's perfect. My only problem is that the track pad jumps around and does crazy things unless disabled. I've researched this online and apparently it happens with many MSI machines. We'll be exchanging this unit for that reason.

    The laptop has performed well with every task I've thrown at it. It's quick and effective. If I were to complain about anything it would be the touch pad. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with the touch pad. I, personally, prefer a mouse. However, a wireless mouse was an easy remedy for me.

    Great specs and very good looking laptop. Performance is excellent as well. My only complaint is all the bloat ware they put in it. I had the windows freshly installed to address that. Another issue is the hdd is only 5400 rpm. So of course, I replaced that with a SSD

    Fantastic Specs, AWFUL Display.

    What originally intrigued me so much about the Stealth is the value for the money. For $1549 you get a desktop grade laptop that is .7" thin, weighs less than 4lbs, quad core i7 processor, 1.12TB fusion style drive, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a full NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics chip in it. For the cost of this machine, there is no better value for the money. But that price comes with a few caveats, one of which is pretty major and was a deal breaker for me. Obviously this machine runs super smooth and crushes any benchmarks/games you throw at it. But where this machine falls flat is in battery life, overall size, and THAT SCREEN. Doing basic, light tasks such as web browsing at 50% brightness you're lucky to see 3 hours, which is bit ridiculous because that doesn't use the 1060. Even though this is a 15.6" laptop, it's quite large to take around with you, especially compared to the latest MacBook Pro and the Yoga line (which both obviously don't have 1060 chips, but they minimize bezels to shrink the overall machine). I can live with those two shortcomings though. The one I can't deal with... Just how god AWFUL the screen is. I can't even express over this review how truly terrible the "IPS" panel on the MSI Stealth 001 is. I list the model number because apparently every other version of this machine uses a better, actually IPS panel. The viewing angles are good on the panel, and that's it. I haven't seen a more dull and lifeless display since the TN panels of yesteryear. Truly a deal breaker on what is an otherwise splendid machine.

    Purchased this for my 16 year old son. Boy version of sweet sixteen,! He loves this laptop. He uses it for gaming, streaming, socializing & doing school work. It was costly when I added 3 year protection plan, but completely worth it!

    Excellent for Photo Presentations and Workshops

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

    I am not a gamer. I do run a number of workshops using Lightroom, Photoshop and other photo editing software and need a responsive machine due to the ever increasing size of the files as cameras evolve and the editing software grows more complex. This laptop has proven that it can handle what I need it to comfortably. You still need to calibrate the screen and have a separate calibration for any projector you may use. The 128 Gb on the PCIe drive is tight. While there are any number of larger drives out there, I haven't found a PCIe NVMe enclosure to make cloning over to a larger drive easy at this point. The drive socket is a "combo" and so it can handle both M.2 PCIe NVMe and M.2 SATA III Type M key form factor 2280, but you lose the speed advantage if you drop back to a SATA III. I found MSI tech support to be next to useless when it came to making that determination, so this information comes from a fair number of exchanges with some of the M.2 SSD manufacturers.

    Wanted a fast computer for both college and gaming. Was attracted 1st by the colorful lighted keyboard and then by the computers specs for the price. It is also very quiet. Seems in the past every time we get a laptop it sounds like it's attached to jet engines! My son loves it.
