Very solid performance in game, does get quite hot, but the fast speed fan button definitely helps, and I would recommend getting a cooling fan pad for underneath it, like any laptop. For something this thin but powerful, expect it to get warm.

The MSI Stealth 16" 144Hz FHD+ Gaming Laptop is absolutely top-notch. The speed is superb—it handles everything I throw at it with ease, from gaming to productivity tasks. It runs seamlessly, with no lag or stuttering, and despite its power, it stays impressively quiet most of the time.
The lightweight chassis is a huge plus. It feels solid and premium without being bulky, making it easy to carry around. The display is stunning, with vibrant colors and a smooth refresh rate that makes gaming and media consumption feel incredibly immersive. The keyboard is comfortable and responsive, adding to the overall great experience.
One downside is that it does run a bit hot under heavy load. The fans work hard to keep up, but you can definitely feel the heat when pushing it to the max. It hasn’t caused any performance issues, but it's something to keep in mind.
Overall, this is an outstanding laptop for gaming, work, or anything in between. If you're looking for a powerful, sleek, and reliable machine, this is definitely one to consider.

A great buy, but not without it's gripes

Considering the price of GPUs these days, this laptop is a great deal considering the performance you're getting.
The Intel i7 13620H is a great mobile processor that utilizes a combination of power (performance; hyperthreaded) and efficiency (low-power; non-hyperthreaded) cores. The e-cores do a great job at providing additional battery life that a system like this would have struggled to reach in the past. Because it offers a broad range of performance at a wide range of power consumption levels, I recommend most every 13th gen Intel core.
The RTX 4070 (mobile flavor) is no slouch. Even at the capped power (around 115W I think), this chip can tackle most games at high on 1080p. It's important to note this isn't the 1440p model, but at this display size 1080p still has a good ppi.
Back to the battery, the ability to switch between dedicated, hybrid, and integrated graphics gives the user incredible control over the battery life. That combined with the combination of p-cores and e-cores can give you a range of 3 - 7 hours of use. Out of the box, you'll get around 3 hours, but if you take advantage of the configurable's you can get around 7 hours of battery life. MSI advertises 8-ish hours, but I haven't experienced this without doing some undervolting/underclocking and other modifications. To caveat, you can charge this laptop using a USB-C cable, so long as you're not actively gaming (that port I think caps at 100W).
My gripes:
- The numpad. The included keyboard is a great keyboard, but the numpad is really forced in there. As much as I use and enjoy a 10-key, I'd rather go without than compromise the rest of the keyboard to accommodate this feature. This keyboard could've been comfortably spaced and have an ideal layout were it not for this feature.
- Ports. I'm glad to see two USB-C ports and I love having an ethernet port, but having only 1 USB-A port is very inconvenient. I'd rather we ditched the micro-sd reader for a second USB-A. Plus, it's unfortunate that only 1 of the 2 USB-C ports will allow you to charge.
- Bloatware. It's in almost every laptop these days, so I'll continue to gripe about it. I don't want the Norton, so stop including it.

A Monster of a Gaming Laptop

Let me preface this review by saying that this is my first ever gaming PC — that I personally own. I love how effortless it was to set up. There’s a lot packed into this laptop, which is exactly what I wanted it for. When I chose this computer, I wanted something that could compete with top of the line gaming desktops. I needed something that was powerful enough to run AAA gaming titles at their peak performance, but mobile enough that I could pick it up an move while playing — this computer exceeded both criteria. Not only is it super powerful, but it’s thin, sleek and compact enough that walking around with it feels like I’m carrying a light book. Aesthetically, one of its coolest features is that it has a keyboard that’s automated to glow and cycle between different colors as you’re using it. It’s battery life is extremely long, especially when running games like Cyberpunk and Forza. For anyone who is considering buying a gaming laptop, but wants the performance of a high-end gaming desktop, this is the PC for you.

I recently got my hands on the Stealth 16 laptop, and let me tell you, it has exceeded all my expectations! First off, the design is sleek and modern, with a slim and lightweight build that's perfect for on-the-go use. The screen is absolutely stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details that make everything look incredible. Whether I'm watching movies or working on spreadsheets, the visuals are top-notch.
In terms of performance, this laptop is a powerhouse. It handles all my everyday tasks with ease, from web browsing to streaming videos, without any lag or slowdowns. The speed and responsiveness are impressive, making my user experience smooth and enjoyable. Plus, the battery life is fantastic, lasting me throughout the day without needing to constantly search for a power outlet.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with the Stealth 16. It delivers excellent performance in a sleek package, making it the ideal laptop for my needs. It's definitely deserving of a 5-star rating, and I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a reliable and impressive laptop.

This laptop uniquely checked all of the boxes for me, so I bought it as soon as it was available and I haven't been disappointed.
Strengths:
- By far the most impressive strength is the incredible gaming performance. And the additional incredible strength that you might not be hearing from other reviewers is that if you choose, you can run this thing in "silent" mode while gaming and still play A LOT of games at max settings with almost no noise. That is something gaming laptops just didn't used to do, and they definitely didn't do in thin and light bodies. You really only need to put this thing into performance mode and hear the loud fan for more graphically challenging games.
- The battery life is incredible for a laptop of this power. Just make sure you remember to toggle to one of the lower power modes when unplugging.
- Design is great. Feel is all around solid and great. Definitely feels premium.
- Wonderful glass mouse track pad. One grip is the clicking on the mousepad can be a little off but it's minor.
- Screen is bright and responsive.
Weaknesses:
- The other side of the coin of this laptop running so quiet almost all of the time is that it does feel very warm on the bottom, which makes lap use annoying. In battery saving mode the fans pretty much never audibly kick on for normal use, which is nice, but I almost wish they would kick on so that it was a bit cooler.
- The MSI software doesn't feel especially premium or tight. I've had hangs and crashes when messing with settings. Additionally, I wish I more easily had more fan control.
- I know this is nitpicky, but coming from an oled this screen fulls dull at times. It is a great screen and I understand why they didn't go with glossy, but this does not feel like gaming on an oled, mini led, or high quality glossy display.

This is probably my favorite laptop I’ve had. It’s a beast and handles modern AAA games with no problem. It is a little loud, but that’s to be expected with gaming laptops, and it strikes an excellent balance between being thin and light compared to other gaming laptops and a powerhouse. The build quality is also excellent. The keyboard is pleasant to type on and trackpad is a good size and very smooth to use. Battery life is also very good for a gaming laptop.

32 gb ram, 4070, 144hz, i7. 1TB SSD. Run in performance mode. Gets hot buy a good cooling pad like the IETS gt600.
Get a USB Hub, there's 1 port. the GT600 pad I use also has 3 slots for USB.
No optical drive. There appears to be a slot for an sd card. USB C plug in. LAN port, HDMI port. SS USB port (super speed).
Laptop ventilates well, it has basically a mesh underneath. when I crank up the cooler I can feel the air coming out the top holes. My gpu while cooled is in the 30c range. It can get hot without that, but I will not test that. Just cool your laptop!
I use the logitech superlight wireless/wired mouse instead of the tracpad, the keyboard is fine but i would like to get an external one soon.
Different battery charge options depending on if you plan on running it plugged in or not. Battery life, or battery health/longevity.
Laptop is medium to large size, which i wanted.
I use this for working in Unity. 32 GB RAM minimum is recommended, would like to upgrade. Will be gaming when I can.
