Reviews for the MSI Stealth A16 AI+ A3XVGG
Source: Zdnet.com
The MSI Stealth A16 AI Plus is sold exclusively at Best Buy for $2,000 MSRP. However, at the time of this writing, the model has been discounted to $1,700. I recommend picking up the laptop at that price, especially as a desktop replacement. With the right laptop docking station, you can connect to a pair of external displays to enjoy everything it offers, although its 16-inch WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600 pixel) display is still quite nice.

I can’t say I’m a big fan of the MSI Stealth A16 AI+. Yes, it offers a comfortable keyboard and touchpad experience. I even like that it supports long gaming battery life, all packed into a svelte chassis. However, it falls short on performance and with its display. Both are respectable, but they can’t justify the Stealth’s $2K price. For the same price, you can buy the Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9, which supports a brighter and more colorful display, a faster SSD, and much stronger overall performance. Overall, the MSI Stealth A16 AI+ is a decent gaming laptop, but it’s one that you should wait to get on a severe discount ($500 at minimum).

The MSI Stealth A16 AI+ is a well-rounded laptop that’s best for people who need one machine capable of handling many tasks. It’s quick enough to handle demanding content creation, has a GPU that can play modern games at respectable resolutions and detail settings (and accelerate some productivity tasks), and has battery life long enough to make the laptop a good travel companion. This isn’t the best laptop for any single job. Some alternatives have better battery life, stronger performance, or a superior display. But if you need a laptop that can handle a bit of everything, the Stealth A16 AI+ fits the bill. And, speaking of bills, it’s not especially expensive; the base MSRP of $1999.99 compares well to more luxurious alternatives like the Dell XPS 16, Asus ProArt P16, and Razer Blade 16.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
