MSI's GS63VR Stealth Pro is a good evolution of the predecessor. The chassis is even slightly slimmer than before and the GPU performance has been increased dramatically thanks to Nvidia's new generation of graphics cards. The temperatures are still...

Thin and light chassis without compromised cooling. Very powerful for its size: the GTX 1060 is a fantastic 1080p gaming GPU. Great keyboard and great selection of I/O.

Premium priced. Difficult to upgrade RAM and SSD. Minor design issues, including a rubbish trackpad.

Ports for days ; Beautiful display ; Lightweight ; Solid performance

A nice lightweight extremely capable gaming laptop with a very effective cooling system.

Being predominantly used to Macs and OS, I still dislike Windows 10
