Q: What kind of Audio / speakers does this laptop have? Is is Nahimic 3 and Dynaudio with 6 speakers. Just want to know if the laptop has good quality sound, some previous models were not so hot on sound quality!

A: It is the Dynaudio 6 speaker with Nahimic version 4.9.4 currently. Versions will continue to go up as it has had at least 3 updates since I got it last month. For a laptop it's fairly good. Beats all my previous work lenovo laptops, my wife's legion laptop, and any of my work's standard computer speakers. It does not have a subwoofer, but is clear and doesn't sound forced or distorted. Since the speakers are not super large the lower frequencies below 200 hz aren't amazing and it obviously rolls off rapidly. Handles the mids and highs up to around 18khz without issue. The Nahimic AI sound setup adapts to the environment you are in, turning up and down and keeping vocals easy to hear, at least on the setting I have it on right now. I mainly use it for 3D modeling and manipulating point clouids from LIDAR scanners, with an occasional gaming session, So I usually have music playing in the background at a lower level. If it's a noisy enivronment with my kids being loud or my work collegues being annoying I headphone up anyway. Never going to compare to a quality set of headphones or home theater though. If you are an Audiophile it will not make you happy. It's not even close to my Sennhausers HDs or my all NHT speaker/Yamaha A6A 9.2 surround setup. Just perfect for some light music in the background, youtube, and occasional gaming session. Any more than that and you will want more.

Q: Why does best buy say this laptop has 64GB of ram when MSI states it has 32GB? Speed is wrong also, only 5200Mhz from MSI.

A: Short answer, it DOES have 64 GB of ram. There are different variations of this model that vary only by the last digit. Mine certainly has 64 GB of ram. The only negative I can say about this laptop is that the included software, especially for controlling the rgb lights on the keyboard doesn’t work well (if at all) and is a known issue. If you dig through MSI’s website you’ll eventually find the right specs the laptop says it’s a 17 studio A13VI-012US (this is from the decal on the laptop (I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a model specifically made for Best Buy, a lot of big box stores do that so if you try to get them to price match they can say, sorry not the same model).

Q: Does this laptop have a Ethernet Port

A: On the back. Yes it does, if you look at the picture of the edges with the lid closed you can see it on the back.

Q: Why it doesn't provide a warrant from BestBuy?

A: Protection plan needs to be bought, unless you have Total Tech then it will be free

Q: What is the cooling system that this laptop has?

A: Cooler Boost 5 uses 2 fans and 6 heat pipes to ensure optimal thermal dissipation and provide the best gaming experience or creating Multi-layered projects.

Q: How much VRAM does this model come with?

A: The Stealth 17Studio A13VI-012US is equipped with a 16GB NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090 Laptop GPU with up to 1455MHz Boost Clock 105W Maximum Graphics Power with Dynamic Boost.
