MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 8RF [GS65 8RF-037US]

Fusion of elegance and power

MSI calls the GS65 Stealth Thin 8RE a fusion of grace and power, and this is the case when marketers just want to nod in approval. This is a stylish business laptop with thin bezels around the screen, a nice gold-coloured edging for the keyboard and a neat pattern that hides the speakers.

Unique keyboard backlight

The backlight of a laptop keyboard is not something you want to focus on. But in the case of the Stealth Thin, the backlight is one of the main visual features of the model. In this keyboard, the keys are illuminated not from below, but from the inside, which is why only the symbol highlighted on the key glows. Moreover, each key can be individually backlit — the space bar glows blue, the function keys are blue, the numbers are green, etc. It looks like a Blade Runner 2049 poster with multiple neon signs intertwined.

Powerful as a NASA computer

All this beauty did not affect the configuration of the laptop. It has a powerful six-core Intel Core i7 processor of the latest generation (operating frequencies 2.2 — 4.1 GHz), 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and one of the most powerful video cards on the market GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q with 8 GB of video memory. The latter is especially interesting since most sturdy laptops have 8GB of RAM the norm. And then 8 GB of video memory. Needless to say, such a filling will make it possible to forget about the existence of the words “brakes” and “lags” for years to come?

Everything you need for comfortable work

The display in the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin is a Full HD IPS panel with a high frame rate of 144Hz and a fast response time. The screen is excellent in all respects, even with the immodest price tag. A good picture is complemented by excellent sound: the laptop has a high-quality sound card with a good DAC and a pair of speakers from the eminent Danish manufacturer Dynaudio. The power is only a couple of watts, but they play very cleanly and pleasantly. With all this, the MSI GS65 keeps a decent charge for 7 hours in the mail-browser-vidos-documents mode.
