Most gaming laptops in the market are heavy due to the high-end components housed in their chassis. MSI, however, wants to break the gaming mold that were brought by some of their other models. With the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin, a high-end gaming experience can now be had on-the-go without breaking your back.
The MSI GS65 Stealth Thin doesn’t exude the same gaudiness as some gaming notebooks. Instead, it employs a much more minimalist design with sleek lines and gold accents. Just because it doesn’t screaming gaming with its design doesn’t mean that it’s lacking the gaming cred that some of its contemporaries have.
The GS65 Stealth Thin comes with a 15.6-inch 1080p, 144Hz, 7ms display with thin bezels, which has an 82% screen-to-body ratio. Powering the display is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 paired with a 6-core, 12-thread Intel Core i7-8750H Cofee Lake-H processor and up to 32GB of RAM.
Despite its size and a relatively light 1.8kg weight, the GS65 still comes with quite a sizeable 82Whr battery, which promises to get 8 or more hours with the notebook. Here’s the complete specifications of the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin:
