MSI Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport laptop in review: Mobile racing car with OLED display

Extravagant.

The Motorsport Edition is a specially designed version of the Stealth 16 for Mercedes-AMG fans. We carefully evaluated this 16-inch gaming laptop and delved into the key differences compared to the standard version.

Florian Glaser, 👁 Florian Glaser (translated by Carmen Pol), Published 11/29/2023 🇩🇪 🇸🇪 ...

While the 'standard' Stealth 16 features a Core i7-13700H, the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport model steps up with the slightly faster Core i9-13900H. In place of the matte QHD+ IPS panel running at 240 Hz, the Motorsport Edition boasts a glossy UHD+ OLED display with a 60 Hz refresh rate. The graphics card (RTX 4070), RAM (2x 16 GB DDR5), and SSD capacity (2 TB) remain identical to the top model. Given that the casing, input devices, and connections are the same, with only a few optical details setting them apart, we won't revisit specific categories in this article. You can refer to the relevant information in the review of the Stealth 16 Studio. The Motorsport Edition is currently priced at $2,899, a notable investment for an RTX 4070 notebook.

The screen also delivers a good to very good performance in various aspects. With almost 100% coverage of sRGB or DCI-P3 and 88% coverage of AdobeRGB, it excels in color space. Additionally, the color accuracy is first-class, eliminating the need for calibration, unlike some competitors. The display's outstanding black level, nearly 0.0 cd/m², contributes to an impressive contrast characteristic of OLEDs, surpassing traditional IPS panels. The same superiority extends to viewing angle stability and response time, making OLED notebooks the current reference in these aspects.

Nevertheless, buyers need to contend with the typical drawbacks, including low frequency and flickering. The display flickers at 60 Hz below 90% brightness and at 240 Hz below 50%. These values may pose issues for individuals sensitive to such factors.

The glossy surface, occasionally causing significant reflections, may be a concern for many users in daily use. Despite a respectable average brightness of 383 cd/m², the Stealth 16's suitability for outdoor or well-lit environments is somewhat limited.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
1.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 0.6 ms rise
1.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.6 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 4 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
1.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 0.8 ms rise
1.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.7 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 4 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

60 Hz

≤ 90 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 60 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 90 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 60 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance

With only 8 GB of VRAM for the GeForce RTX 4070, which was considered outdated in this price segment upon release, the 16-incher falls into the upper mid-range, particularly in terms of GPU performance. Its CPU performance is top-tier, the Stealth 16 is right at the top, and the ample RAM and SSD configuration should offer sufficient reserves for most users.

Testing Conditions

The pre-installed MSI Center offers various operating modes, ranging from Eco to Sport. All measurements were conducted in Smart Auto mode, where the system automatically adjusts settings. Graphics switching (MSHybrid) was activated by default.

Processor

The upgrade from the i7-13700H to the i9-13900H in our CPU tests showed marginal performance improvement. Benchmark results remained similar to the standard version. During the Cinebench loop, there were two temporary drops, unlike the competition. The Core i9-13900H is a powerful but energy-hungry high-end chip with 6 performance cores featuring Hyper-Threading and 8 efficiency cores without HT (20 threads in total).

Storage Devices

The 2 TB Samsung SSD (model PM9A1) in the test device initially performed well but experienced severe performance drops, or throttling, under prolonged load. Unfortunately, MSI has not yet addressed this issue, similar to the standard Stealth 16. Most of the competition performs better in this regard, with the exception of the Lenovo Legion Pro 5.
