    A very powerful laptop that works for everything and is discreet at the same time despite its power. Its OLED display gives it an extra plus. It’s ideal if you want high performance without a flashy design.

    Almost Perfect

    With the latest generations of CPU's / GPU's, high-end gaming performance is starting to merge more and more with power efficiency, better battery life, and thinner / lighter forms. You no longer have to accept a heavy, ugly, laptop with terrible battery-life to get truly good gaming performance. This laptop is a great example. Appearance-wise, this is a "stealthy" (thus, the name) as it gets. It's as thin and light as your average business laptop, with very nice all-metal construction (which I much prefer to the plastic-y construction of a lot of gaming laptops). Keyboard is solid, easy to type on, with custom backlighting, but the laptop doesn't have all of the other gamer-type lighting that you may, or may not, want to see. It's got both an IR webcam and a fingerprint reader, which is really nice because you can do Windows Hello either way. The OLED screen is gorgeous and a joy to use. Performance-wise, I've been very impressed. It uses an RTX 5080 at a lower TGP (105 watts) than you'd see in a full-bore gaming laptop, as well as one of AMD's AI-focused Strix Halo CPU's. The upshot is that it's very power efficient. If I set it on the more efficient mode and just do office work, I can get all-day battery life (i.e., 6-8 hours) easily. Gaming battery life, err . . . not so much with the RTX 5080, but the integrated GPU on the AMD chip is no slouch and you'd be shocked how much medium-duty gaming you can do with that, just on battery power. With the lower TGP on the RTX 5080, it's not going to fully equal the gaming performance of larger, heavier, full-power RTX 5080's in something like a Legion Pro or an Asus Scar. But, the thing is, at this point the gaming performance of the RTX 5-series, especially with their AI frame-gen technology on newer games, is high enough that I'm not sure it really will be noticeable to most people. For me, for example, MS Flight Simulator is the acid test for a gaming laptop. If you crank up the details, it stresses both the CPU and GPU. On this laptop, with frame generation on, I can pretty much max-out all the detail settings. Same for my other modern, demanding games. They all run smoothly, at very high detail settings, with no problem at all. So, if you are an absolute gaming PC purist and believe in framerates above all else, then you probably ought to look elsewhere. But if you value any kind of balance at all - battery life, size, weight, looks, etc. - I think you'll find that this laptop will give you what you need. Drawbacks to be aware of: Very little expandability - only one SSD interface and the RAM is soldered down and non-expandable. Also, just one USB-C port, which seems a little sparse for a laptop this expensive.

    - I recently refreshed my laptop from a 1060-class GPU to a high-end 5080-class configuration. The OLED display delivers strong contrast and color fidelity, enhancing visual clarity for design and media work. - This offers robust performance within a discreet chassis, making it suitable for professional environments where a conspicuous gaming aesthetic is undesirable. - For sustained workloads, thermal management matters. A cooling pad or ensuring good airflow helps prevent thermal throttling and maintains consistent performance. - Overall, this model provides a favorable balance of performance, display quality, and discretion for professionals who also need gaming capacity when desired.

    Good, but there are some drawbacks

    I really wanted to like this laptop, but there are a few pain points for me. Cons: The bottom of the laptop can get very hot. The trackpad is really good, but it's centered on the laptop and not with the keyboard. This caused my right palm to move the mouse icon or it would detect presses when I was typing. MSI chose to put the FCN key on the right side, instead of the traditional left side. They also crammed keys wherever they could and made some keys smaller so that others could fit. I was constantly hitting the FCN when trying to arrow or hitting the arrow when trying to press the right shift. The number keys on the right are so skinny, it's very easy to hit more than one key at a time. Even though this computer has an RTX 5080, it struggled at doing some tasks that a 5080 should be able to do because MSI limited the wattage of the GPU. You are not able to upgrade the RAM and there is only one M.2 slot, so upgrade options are limited. Pros: Lighter and thinner than other laptops. Display is very nice and gorgeous. Although the case could get hot, the cooling was really good at keeping the GPU temp at around 70° C. Very smooth transitions between iGPU and dGPU. The battery lasted about 4.5 hours when doing normal everyday tasks. I think it's a good laptop overall, but there are a few tweaks that could be done to make it an amazing laptop.

    Very nice machine. Built well, nice feel all around. The screen is amazingly clear, and the gpu is great for everything I have thrown at it. It runs local llm models with no issue, and the 16 gigs on the 5080 allows for some larger models with no issues. I can't really speak on the battery life as I tend to keep it running on performance mode all of the time, but even with that the batter is still doing good.

    Great Screen, Awful Port Placement: MSI Stealth A1

    I picked this up for $2K on a mega sale, and while it has some great qualities, one design flaw ruined it for me. Display: The 16" QHD+ OLED screen is gorgeous — vibrant, smooth at 240Hz, though glossy. Battery Life: Decent for a gaming laptop, about 6–7 hours with office work. Performance: Nerfed compared to expectations, but still OK when using FSR and Frame Generation. Dealbreaker: The charging port is located midway on the right-hand side. If you use a mouse, prepare to constantly bump into the cable. I thought I could live with it, but it drove me crazy. Bottom line: despite the beautiful screen and solid specs, the poor charging port placement was such a hassle that I returned it.

    Great OLED Screen with a camera that has a built-in physical camera shutter to close when not using. Laptop runs great. Doesn't get too hot, doesn't get too loud. Well constructed.
