1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Cooling and Hardware Issues
By Jake
I've been a fan of MSI for a long time, sticking with their desktop boards and previously owning a Stealth GS75 laptop, which was fantastic until the board shorted out after 5 years of rigorous use. I hoped a new Stealth model would be just what I needed, but I encountered significant issues with the 40xx series cards' cooling capabilities.My biggest problem was overheating with the GPU. While playing modern games, my FPS would drop from 100+ to 8 after some time. When I exited the games, any open windows or apps on the desktop would flicker with ghost images until I rebooted.Unfortunately, I had to refund this laptop and will need to explore other options. It's a shame because I really loved the design and ideas behind this model.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's not even bad as the other reviewers
By kbb_a1fa
I actually purchased the MSI Vector HX16 and that has the same specs as this one, however, this has a larger screen. The Vector fans were SUPER LOUD when gaming and compared to this one, I barely hear anything. I game with headphones and the Vectors fans can be heard through my headphones while this does not. I have not had any issues with the mouse pad, then again I mostly use a wireless mouse to game when I need to. This laptop is def a powerhouse and heavy so if you're looking for portability this one is not it. Battery life is ok, when not playing games I can get about 3 - 4 hours with the settings ofmedium brightness no no lighted keyboard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good So Far!

I heard mixed reviews on this. I took a chance and it's only been 2 weeks, but so far so good. The Alienware software takes about 10 to 20 seconds to load when first opening it. after that 5-10. The back end got flack for being too big. But Who is really carrying around a 16 inch gaming laptop. Keys feel great. RGB is good. Keys are clear and not blinding like most RGB backlits. Design is good imo. feels premium. Cam is decent. Touch pad is smooth. Display is nice, all text is clear and colors are good. I heard many people complaining about the brightness levels. But in a dark room I actually turn the brightness down. And in my home with normal outdoor light coming in, I have no issues with the brightness. 2 usb 2 usb c, this is the only downside. in my opinion. I wish there was one more. I do like there are no cables coming from the sides. All ports in back. Cleaner desk look. will update if I have any issues.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this laptop!!!

This laptop is a GIANT waste of money. It didn't last for 2 weeks before the system stopped charging itself and shut down. I had to return it without being able to remove my data. I am VERY disappointed with this product and purchase.
