MSI introduced its GS Stealth gaming laptop series back in 2016, the biggest one being GS60. And with this new series, MSI rolled out really thin and light weight gaming laptops that were very heavy in specifications and positively affected the gaming experience.
Just recently, MSI has announced the latest edition in the GS gaming series of gaming laptops: the GS65 Stealth Thin. As the name suggests, this is a pretty slim laptop. What MSI seems to be most talking about in this laptop however, is the design. We already know it’s thin, but another thing that’s thin in this laptop is the bezel. The 15.6″ screen redefined to give you an almost bezel-less 144 Hz display with 82% screen to body ratio.
MSI’s GS65 Stealth Thin features Intel’s latest Coffee Lake 8th generation Core i7 6-core Processor and is powered by NVIDIA’s GTX 1070 Graphics Card
The MSI GS65 Stealth Thin is designed in a combination of gold and black and is available in two models: 8RF which contains a GTX 1070 and 8RE which contains a GTX 1060. MSI also boosts an improved and longer lasting battery life, claiming up to 8 hours of battery timing. It’s also equipped with several software utilities including a Gaming Mode that allows you to optimize your gaming experience depending on each individual game.
