MSI GS65 Stealth 8RE Review

 

MSI GS65 is a thin and light laptop that is powered by a combination of Intel 8th Gen. CPU and Nvidi It's slim, sleek and stylish – but what about that flipped motherboard?!

144Hz IPS-level display looks good.

CPU clock speed is slow under heavy load.

MSI GS65 looks sleek and sophisticated but suffers from the heat.

MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 8RE review: Stylish enough for work and powerful enough for play

 

The GS65 Stealth Thin features a 6-core Core i7, VR-ready graphics yet still weights just 4 lbs.

Six cores of speed in a surprisingly light laptop ; Webcam stays on top despite a thin bezel ; It's only four pounds

Difficult to access M.2 slots ; Chassis flexes very easily

Just a few years ago, if you said you wanted 1080p Very High or Ultra gaming performance in a laptop, you’d be lifting eight pounds of laptop. If you wanted a six-core CPU too, that’d be 12 pounds of laptop with a desktop chip inside. And decent...

MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 8RF gaming laptop review: To hell with Ultrabooks

 

It's slim, gorgeous and relatively lightweight. It also packs in some very impressive hardware.

Size and weight

I think I’ve fallen in love with the GS65. It offers that perfect combination of price, performance and portability which, as a gamer, I don’t think I can now live without. Every time I travel, I’m left frustrated by the fact that my gaming must be put...

MSI GS65 8RF Stealth Thin (i7-8750H, GTX 1070 Max-Q, Full HD) Laptop Review

 

All-out attack. With the GS65, MSI has released an uncompromising opponent to the Gigabyte Aero 15X. The GS65 is a 15-inch gaming notebook that impresses us with its combination of outstanding hardware housed in an ultra-thin and lightweight case, just...

color-accurate 144 Hz display ; good viewing angles ; thin screen bezels ; dedicated and integrated graphics-switching ; RGB lighting ; lightweight ; practical manufacturer software ; small power supply ; stylish design ; high performance ; Thunderbolt...

workmanship and stability could be better ; the case makes creaking and cracking sounds in places ; CPU Turbo Boost performance could be better ; power-saving options are still faulty ; limited maintainability ; no card reader

The GS65 cannot quite match the overall package that the Gigabyte Aero 15X offers, despite MSI’s best efforts.While the GS65 looks stylish with its aluminum chassis, the Aero 15X is sturdier and is better built. Specifically, there are audible creaks...
