Customer Ratings & Reviews

The stealth series is as sleek as it gets. This is the largest display that still fits into a backpack. I travel often and need to game on the go. The specs are top notch. Shipping is fast. MSI software sweet is decent but there are better out there. For instance the "current driver" is in fact not the latest. The face recognition and fingerprint work wonderfully. My biggest issue is the wifi card. I have been sitting next to a router and have constant drops. I believe it's an issue with wifi-7. I keep reaching out to MSI and they don't really help.

This is a great-performing laptop once you work through the bugs. Out of the box, mine was missing some of the software needed to control the RGB keyboard and speakers, which really should have come pre-installed. I also ran into issues with different programs conflicting with each other—especially the AI-based utilities that manage performance. In my experience, those AI tools often hinder more than they help. Another downside is the lack of a second M.2 SSD slot. If you want to increase your storage, you'll need to replace the existing drive. I had to clone the original M.2 to retain the factory-installed programs, which was a bit of a hassle. One major design flaw is the placement of the charging port. It's located on the back of the laptop, making it very easy to damage if you're not careful when plugging in or moving the device while it's charging. That said, once I got all the right software installed, turned off the AI settings, and stabilized everything, the laptop started performing very well. It's powerful and fast—just be prepared to put in some effort to get it running the way it should.

Great laptop and thank you to Best Buy for recommendation!
