    So far, so good. I really have no complaints. Excellent for what it is. Great graphics performance and has been fantastic with the higher-end games and apps I've run on it so far. Yes, it gets warm but it's a high-powered machine so that should be expected. And yes, the fan will run and you can hear it if you aren't wearing headphones and running the most demanding games. However, when it's idling and in use for non-gaming purposes (i.e. productivity, watching streaming video, etc.) it's very quiet.

    Completely fit the bill for a new gaming laptop. No trouble playing any of the latest games. Quick startup. Fans are noisy, will need headphones to play high powered games. But laptop stays way cooler than 2014 MSI model I have. Screen resolution is amazing. Glad I stuck with MSI.

    I'm not a computer expert by any means but I love MSI laptops. Got this one as a replacement for another one I owned that I gave to my wife. Use it primarily for VR gaming. Very fast and solidly built. Has features available in desktop computers at an even smaller price point. Can't go wrong with this one.

    This laptop is incredible, and I love nearly everything about it. BUT I will say that I had some issues with some driver updates that were pushed to the device early on. I did buy this model when it was very new, and I believe those drivers causing problems is resolved now - but the average user would have likely returned the laptop with the issues that these updates caused. They were updates directly from MSI through their pre-installed software. MSI support themselves eventually even suggested to return the laptop but I didn't give up that easily since specific laptop was hard to find in stock at the time. Once I resolved those issues myself this laptop has been one of the best I've owned. Overall regardless of the software issues early on, this machine performs incredibly well in any task I throw at it. It's worth every penny in my opinion.

    Runs hot /bad thermal paste

    When I first got the device I was amazed at how beautiful and fast it is, until MSI Center showed me 92°C on Balanced mode. This has me extremely concerned and hopefully Best Buy does thermal pasting without voiding warranty. Other than that, this thing is a beast. QHD 240hz is insane, better than my monitor. 32 GB ram never fills up. The 3070 is good too. I am getting the same FPS that I was on an msi gs 66 Stealth with 2070 Max-Q at 1080p, with this device at 1440p. Overall beautiful but runs hot just like any other gaming laptop.

    If you're wondering if you should get this or not; do it. It is a wonderful mobile gaming laptop. It can handle every game I've thrown at it so far. I've only had to lower graphics settings on a few games. It's easy to pack and unpack if you travel. The camera, microphone, and speakers all work well. Overall this is a great little powerhouse. If I could change anything about it I would like to add more USB or USB C ports as there's only two of each. I rated the battery average because you have to have the laptop plugged in to utilize the full power of the GPU. It gets about an hour of intensive gaming on battery. Heat dissipation is alright. I'd recommend a cooler.

    It’s a good laptop for playing all the big games but it has 2 issues : 1. For a laptop that literally has stealth in its name , it’s not stealth atol. The fans are simply too loud. If u are someone living alone or always in ur room then only get this laptop bcoz you putting headphones won’t help others as the fan noise is soo loud that it will disturb others near you 2. Heating issues . So sometimes specifically while playing red dead 2 it gets soo hot even with fans running on full speed that even when u press the keyboard keys hot air comes out on your fingers.

    Absolutely love this machine. Very fast. Smooth, bright, sharp screen. I couldn't be more happier with this purchase. It does everything I need it to do and more. The 32 gb of ram is me then enough and is great for 4k video editing, photo editing, music production and can play must games on high/ultra settings. I highly recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a high end, gaming type machine. 5 stars most definitely!

    I have had this laptop about a month now and have had no issues with it. It is blazing fast compared to my old laptop with my CAD program. I am not a serious gamer but have tryed out a few on game pass and been able to run all i have tried with all the graphics options turned on with no problems. The track pad is one of the best i have ever used and the built in speakers are above average for a laptop.

    This is by far the best machine I have owned to date. Even considering that technology is much more advanced now then when I first bought a laptop. This is my first MSI brand computer and I am proud to say that it will be used more than my desktop and my Playstation. I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for an all in one entertainment device that is also thin and light enough to be mobile.

    Owned for a year now and I love it. Paired with a PD charger the time away from the wall is acceptably extended. I get about an hour of full gaming or 5-6 hours economized and more than double that with a Crave PowerPack plugged into it. It must be used on a flat, hard surface, though, as the ventilation intake is from the bottom.

    I love this laptop. It’s performance has never let me down with anything I want to do on it. The screen looks great while gaming and performing productivity tasks. However, I am giving 3 stars because I have had this laptop for a little over 9 months now and the housing around the brackets that secure the lid to the bottom and allows it to open and close is falling apart. Every time I open the lid I hear god awful snaps and cracks. It absolutely infuriates me to spend this much money of an item that is falling apart from normal use. It’s less than a year out of the box, and has never been dropped or anything like that. I take very good care of my electronics. Luckily, I bought the accident protection plan and will be taking this to *hopefully* be fixed.

    Great laptop overall. Runs any game you can think of at high fps. I absolutely love the laptop. Note: the only port connected to the GPU is the HDMI port. The other ports: thunderbolt type c and typce/display port are ran through the integrated graphics ie.e the CPU not GPU...don't get me wrong they can still achieve 144hz, but I am just saying.

    At this price point there’s not a better machine out there. Meets MSI’s standard for solid construction and a reliable machine. Does well with heat dissipation without being super noisy (I have not added thermal paste to internals). Battery life is not super long but that’s not what this machine was meant to do.

    Best Laptop on the planet in this price range. MSI killed the gaming industry with this beast! Fast, powerful, and lightweight as well. How do they do it? QHD IPS display. 17.3 inch screen size. RTX3070 video card. Intel i9. 1TB SSD. 32GB Ram. Wow!
