The MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 9SD has a tradition to uphold. Its predecessor, MSI’s GS65 Stealth Thin 8RE, was the laptop that changed our perception of just how much real gaming performance you could pack into a thin-and-light gaming laptop.

We’re not exaggerating about the original GS65 Stealth Thin 8RE’s wow factor, either. It was just a hair over 4 pounds, in the same weight class as a MacBook Pro 15 or ThinkPad X1 Extreme, yet it packed way more firepower.

The newest incarnation of the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 9SD ups the ante with Intel’s newest 6-core 9th gen Core i7-9750H, along with Nvidia’s gift to those who just : A GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.

The GS65 Stealth Thin will find itself battling with or Alienware’s , both of which feature older 8th-gen CPUs, but Nvidia’s newer ray-trace-enabled RTX GPUs.
