I play video games. I use virtual machines. I bought the 32GB DDR4 RAM, 512 GB NVME, 2080 Max Q design of this laptop. The keyboard is stunning and takes a little bit of getting used to. I love the fact they removed the Windows key from the WASD side of the keyboard. The onboard software packed with this is very nice and limited. Gives great functionality of the machine. There are 2 empty slots for additional NVME drives to add. I picked up some 970 EVO NVMEs from Samsung. (NOTE) I have added a picture of what not to do. Please refer to this, otherwise you may think your drive bay is defective. No regrets from purchasing this rig. Also, as a bonus, the footprint is nearly identical to my 3 year old 15" laptop. Even though this is a 17". Also, this laptop is lighter and thinner on top of that. The only thing I may want is to get some sort of second skin to protect the fingerprint magnets that are this matte black. Which is very pretty btw.

Update, have had replacement 2 months now and it works great, glad I gave msi a second chance! Previous review - Used this for 2 days before it tried to boot up, then wouldnt get past the Blue Setup Screen. I had a very positive experience with technical support even though they werent able to solve the problem remotely. Called help line first thing in the AM and only had to wait 5 minutes. Technician was easy to understand, and very candid - said it looked like a bad hard drive, and recommended returning it since it was basically fresh out of the box. Due to my good experience with Tech Support, and the fact that during the 2 days it was up and running, I fell in love with it... I am going to give msi another chance and exchanging it for the same model. I will keep this updated based on future experience.

After several months of researching gaming laptops, I chose the MSI GS75 Stealth-093 based on the high-end specs (wont need to upgrade and it should run anything and everything), design, and reviews. I could not be happier with my choice for the following reasons: Prime 2-day delivery, triple boxed for protection, nicely packaged from MSI, beautiful 17" display, SteelSeries Engine 3 MSI Per Key RGB Keyboard (multi-color back lit keyboard with different colors and lighting options), easy to type, track pad works great with lots of features, boot time is short and everything runs incredibly fast even with the highest game settings, and thin and light with a small form factor and the MSI utility software is excellent and very useful. The build and design quality are exceptional. Let me address some comments from other reviewers that may be helpful. Please consider that not every laptop can be perfect for everyone. The laptop has a high-end processor and dedicated graphics, so it will get need to circulate the air to cool down the electronic components. You will hear the fans when they run during heavy gaming to cool the high end CPU and graphics card, but its not obnoxious. The speakers are good considering the laptop is extremely thin and light, but some may expect better. Although MSI reduced the thickness of the power adapter it would be nice if it was smaller. The bloatware is extremely minimal, which I very much appreciated (removed a few games that were probably bundled with Windows 10). I find the screen opens and closes very smooth with the right amount of tension and the hinges are very sturdy. The really bad 1 star reviews appear to be fake, probably from a competitor. I will update this review as I put in more time gaming and running other applications. At this point, I am 100% satisfied with the MSI GS75 Stealth laptop.

The first thing i noticed about the MSI GS75 was the weight, at 4.8 pounds you would think no way this thing is going to perform like the heavy weights in its class. I was so wrong not only did it perform it didnt even break a sweat with COD4 and a 4K UHD movie running with excel heavy formulas being performed. 3 hrs of heavy use and the fans came on about 45 mins into the tasks. I love the black and gold design with the slim bezel and light weight, couldnt be happier. My only grip in the power cord easily slips out the charging port because of the weight and gauge of the cord. All an all the MSI GS75 - 093 is the best option for those wanting a super multi use laptop. 5 yr protection plan purchased also.

Yep Im a bit crazy about this laptop. Personally I think its worth the money for it. In fact I would say it is the best laptop I have ever owned. Sure its expensive and maybe not more than 20% better than previous generation of laptops, but it is well made and its so nice having 17 inch screen on a thin and lite. You could argue all about GPU performance isnt worth it, but to me its more than that with this machine. It has everything I have ever wanted in a laptop and then some. If it wasnt for the fact I have a kick ass desktop too, I would so replace the desktop with this laptop.

Purchased this computer for my son. He loves it! It was a perfect match for him. It’s only been a month, and he uses it a lot, and we have had no issues with it. We did purchase the protection plan in case.

I received my MSI GS75 yesterday. For years I have been what most people would consider a nerd, or a techie. Ive built computers and spent exorbitant amounts of money on unnecessary purchases in the tech field. This is no exception. When I turned this thing on it was nearly instant. I had a 2 year old lenovo yoga before this and it was great, but nowhere near the speed this thing is going to offer. I have already downloaded BFV and Civ 6. In Battlefield I am getting over 60 fps with ultra settings and RTX on. The new DLSS update seems to have worked like they said it would. In Civ the turns are insanely fast. I have spent years playing that game and spent even more years waiting in-between turns. Those days are gone ladies and gentlemen. I cant wait to see what else this thing has to offer in terms of performance, but as for the other qualities theyre great too. The keys feel like the chiclet apple-style keys, theyre great. The RGB on presets alone on the keyboard are impressive, although I set mine to a steady color immediately. I/O on this laptop is untouchable. There just arent many thin and lights offering this amount of ports, I have more than enough. Lastly, the weight and form-factor. They cannot be any better. The laptop is slightly below five pounds and slightly above 6 pounds with the charger. It is thinner than my lenovo and barely heavier. The size of the screen is misleading, in the best possible. When you open GS75 (with your weakest finger) you are really able to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this device. The bezels are pushed out to the furthest limits, allowing for maximum screen and very little bulk as far as carrying goes. I hope you guys all enjoy this thing as much as I do!

Aesthetics and Gaming performance Beautiful Laptop, theres no denial there. The customization and colors of the keyboard are a wonderful bonus. It takes some time getting used to it, but once youre used it rocks. Strangely I dont get as many compliments on the "RTX" series sticker as opposed to my "Disco" preset keyboard lighting. Go figure. The graphics card speaks for itself in many ways and lives up to the expectation, in my opinion. Theres still some faults, but optimization of the 2080 max q will come with time. The big thing here is that you can run any game on max settings and usually get between 60 - 100fps. The even bigger thing here is the amount of all that hardware in such a slim laptop. It definitely overpowers desktops in terms of performance on gaming. I dont think we need to get to much into gaming, as you can look at the hardware and just imagine the FPS on Ultra setting. Upgrades - I bought a Samsung 970 Evo 1TB SSD and Migrated then changed the boot BIOS to that, and have kept original 512 SSD as storage. Overkill? Why yes, yes it is. But in addition to gaming, I need all the space for apps like Unity 3D, Android Studio , Oracle, Eclipse, etc etc. So I needed more than the stock 512 IMO. Start up time? Whats that? Screen quality is beautiful. I mean are there better resolutions? Yes. Will you notice? Not really. Portability - I bought an Anti-Theft backpack advertised as 17" along side this and it fits, rather too tight , into it. I still havent gotten passed the treat it like its made of super thin glass phase. But the portability is easier than my 15 inch Toshiba, and with the thin size can slip easily into 17 inch bags/sleeves. Is it worth 3,000? Why yes, yes it is. Do not regret my purchase, and will go as far as saying this has opened my eyes to MSI, to which I approached with caution before. Will definitely update within a couple months to see how everythings going. Another quick note - When Im playing a resource heavy game, and have the fans on full blast(If you didnt know you can change the speed of the fans from within the dragon center) it does a wonderful job of keeping everything cool. SIDE NOTE - if you are upgrading the storage, the M2 slots already have the screws, but only a single pair SO DONT LOSE THEM. Maybe worth mentioning? - Start up to login takes about 15-20 seconds. And half the time takes less than that. Honestly this laptop can take whatever you hurl at it. Stop reading and buy.
