89.2% MSI Stealth 17 Studio review: A laptop with a quiet RTX 4080 for almost every occasion | Notebookcheck
The Stealth 17 is reluctant to ascend to the fps throne. It prefers to offer fast video editing, relaxing gaming sessions and brilliant images and tries to find the middle ground between a laptop for creators and gamers. The RTX 4080, an Intel Core i9-13900H as well as a 4K mini-LED display provide an excellent basis for this - if only it weren't for some minor flaws.

MSI Stealth 17 A13VH-053US: Any Pitfalls?
Source: PCR English
This laptop is probably the best gaming laptop on the market today in terms of both hardware and price. It packs powerful hardware such as the new i9 CPU, and an RTX 4080. I think these gaming specs are almost impossible to get right now due to their newness, at least where I am at. The 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 240Hz QHD screen with 300nits brightness level, will also become factors in making this laptop hugely popular in the future. Other RTX 4080 gaming rigs at this price range have only 16GB of RAM. This MSI Stealth 17 A13VH-053US gaming laptop is definitely an incredible value at its price point. Ignoring this laptop would be a mistake.
