Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased the Star Blue Stealth 14 AI A1V. First, the design looks incredible. definite eye candy of a laptop. The build quality is top notch. The hinge is very sturdy, no flex. The size is perfect for mobility. The screen is crisp and bright. Also, no bloatware. I do not game very often but I create a lot of complex 3D models for 3D printing. Paired with a 27" monitor, this laptop has been able to handle my largest, most complex 3D models to date. I have not perceived any lag. Render time is very quick compared to my previous laptop which had a 11th gen Core i7. I'm talking about this laptop finishing in 30 seconds compared to 5-10 minutes when rendering 3D models. The only issue that I had initially is that this laptop gets hot. I definitely would not use this laptop with it sitting directly on my lap. To remedy the thermal issue, I use a laptop stand with a built in fan. Using the MSI hardware diagnostic app, i observed the CPU runs 10-15 degree C cooler when using the external auxiliary fan in the laptop stand. if you are not using a laptop stand, make sure this laptop is sitting on a hard surface and that there is an airgap between the bottom of the laptop and the surface it is sitting on.

bummed to have to return this beautiful, solidly constructed machine. I tested it for 11 days. the one i received got hot to the touch just operating windows. the keyboard got hot. sensors reported up to 70 degrees C with no programs open and using the igpu. performing my job on this using a browser, excel, and an email client brough the temps between 80-90C. never tested it for gaming honestly was too afraid to. got a cooling pad but decision to return was made because I'm traveling out of state and realized..i cannot use this without the cooling pad. is it the processor? is it the thermal paste? im not willing to risk the time to find out to potentially end up with a machine that needs to be sent to the manufacturer. wish this werent the case cuz i love the laptop otherwise. keyboard brightness key never worked. battery was like 6 hours of work. for reference, im writing this from my 2018 asus vivobook flip with a 6 core 12 thread ryzen 5500u with two dozen browser tabs, 5 excel docs, and email client thunderbird open. it is not warm to the touch and the sensors are reporting it is at 44C.

Compact. Portable. Powerful. Need I say more? Battery is also decent. Not great as expected from any gaming laptop. But just what I need.

Best decision ever made to buy this laptop. The customer services I received was exceptionally.
