Reviews for the MSI Stealth 18 HX AI A2XWIG

90% This monstrous MSI laptop is the new king of Premiere Pro (until the next one)
Source: Creative Bloq English
This may be meant as a gaming laptop, but its combination of some of the best components currently out there means it’s a creator’s dream too. It’s enormous, can get hot and loud and shouldn’t be used on your lap, but it carries an excellent screen to complement its processing power.

80% MSI Stealth 18 HX AI review: THE killer gaming laptop right now
Source: T3 English
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.
