Following the success of the Thin line of laptops, MSI decided to reformat its gaming division and focus on releasing small yet powerful gaming laptops with a minimalistic design. The leading role in the updated assortment was taken by uncompromisingly powerful and at the same time thin laptops of the Thin series, capable of satisfying any Wishlist that players present to such devices.

Released in 2020, the Stealth GS66 laptops elevate these ideas to the absolute, like a serum for creating Captain America's super-soldiers. The average model has a top-end graphics card of the GeForce RTX 3080 caliber, the most powerful and advanced 8-core Core i7 / i9 chips are used as the brain of the system, and the amount of RAM can reach 64 GB. IPS displays are almost at the level of flagship desktops (“Full HD + 300 Hz” or “4K + 60 Hz”). A display of this level is quite suitable not only for gamers, but also for those who create content. For such goodness in stores they ask for 3-4K dollars. In 2018-19 models, the equipment is approximately the same level, but adjusted for time. The design is just as discreet, and the prices are significantly lower — a pumped version with a six-core Core i7 8750H processor and an RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics card can be bought for as much as $ 1,500.


Depending on the year of manufacture, additional equipment of such machines includes an advanced Cooler Boost Trinity cooling system with 0.1 mm thick blades, a capacious battery with fast charging, optional Face ID, Thunderbolt ports, multiple video outputs, Dynaudio proprietary speakers, gigabit LAN- port and branded keyboard from SteelSeries with advanced RGB backlighting. All this goodness is enclosed in a thin and strong aluminium 20 mm case with a minimum of identification marks, which, for example, is not ashamed to put in front of colleagues at a meeting.

Overall, this is the top league of gaming devices designed for the most demanding gamers. They don't have too many competitors in this field, Asus ROG Zephyrus, Acer Predator Triton, a couple of models from Razer and another MSI line called Thin come to mind. The only negative is that coolers and powerful components are cramped in such a miniature case, so all laptops in the Thin line are quite noisy. However, no one has yet managed to make a quiet and cold laptop of such power.
