Reviews for the MSI Stealth 18 HX AI A2XWIG
Source: T3
The MSI Stealth 18, as tested in this HX Intel variant, does exactly what it says on the tin – with the key caveat that the tin has been sensibly priced. It's not the smallest laptop you could find, even in the 18-inch category, but there are only a handful of alternatives that come slimmer with the same spec. That means those looking for a gaming laptop delivering 1440p/4K output that don't shout about their status from the rooftops should pay attention, as this is a great premium option.

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
