The charging port, HDMI, and ethernet are in the back.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMSI\u2019s software is definitely not as glitchy as it has been in the past few years, which is an encouraging sign. I had no problem adjusting fan profiles and such with the preinstalled programs. I did run into one glitch where the screen started turning off when I tried to run games (a problem on a gaming laptop). MSI sent me a replacement unit, which didn\u2019t exhibit that problem. Still, it\u2019s not the sort of thing we love to see on $2,900 products. <\/p>\n
And then we get to what I see as the biggest compromise here: the battery life. I was only averaging about two hours and 16 minutes of continuous use on this thing, with some trials even lasting under two hours. That\u2019s got to be close to the worst battery run I\u2019ve ever gotten out of a gaming laptop. While it\u2019s generally understood that cheaper laptops will have less powerful chips in them, having to give up battery life in addition to that power (the Raider lasted me about two hours longer with the same workload) is a tough pill to swallow. <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking purely at frame rates on paper, this laptop is a fine buy. It can run all kinds of games at QHD resolution without burning your basement down. <\/p>\n
But the Stealth moniker, and the way the line has historically been positioned, might imply to some people that this device is a good pick for more than just gaming. It\u2019s not; MSI\u2019s changes to the Stealth line have made it more powerful at the expense of other features that made it, well Stealthy. It\u2019s too big and heavy to be consistently carrying around in a briefcase or backpack, the battery life isn\u2019t usable for daily work away from an outlet, and the keyboard and touchpad just wouldn\u2019t be my choice to use every day. This is no longer really a portable alternative to the Raider. It\u2019s just a more affordable version of the Raider. <\/p>\n
Which is fine, if that\u2019s what you\u2019re after. But with the Raider delivering more powerful specs, better battery life, more RGB, and an MUX switch for a couple hundred dollars more, I think it delivers an all-around better experience that will be worth the money for people shopping in this range.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
