MSI Stealth

Stealth is the MSI gaming range built around portability and understatement — a slim chassis with none of the styling of the Raider or Titan lines, so it does not look out of place in an office.

The honest trade is cooling. A thin chassis cannot dissipate as much heat as a thick one, so a Stealth will generally sustain a lower graphics power limit than a bulkier laptop with the same GPU. In short bursts the difference is small; over a long gaming session or a sustained render the thicker machine holds higher clocks.

Who it suits: someone who wants one machine that games well and travels daily, and who values weight and appearance over the last few frames per second.

If the laptop will mostly live on a desk, a Raider or a Vector will give more performance for the money. If it is carried every day, Stealth is the point of the range.
