Reviews for the MSI Stealth A18 AI+ A3XWHG
Source: Stuff TV
In isolation, the MSI Stealth A18 AI+ is a consistently decent gaming laptop with a sensible combination of screen resolution and GPU. Every title I tried was playable at well over 60fps with DLSS and frame generation, while native performance isn’t too shabby either. The AMD silicon is also more than able to pull its weight, and can survive for a few hours on battery power when it has to. The screen is merely OK and the build can’t match pricier rivals, but those currently cost significantly more as they’re packing 5080 and 5090 graphics. That’ll change once the RTX 5070 Ti becomes more readily available, but as of right now this is a very capable current-gen desktop replacement at a far more palatable price. That said, if you spot an RTX 4090 laptop at a similar price there’s still plenty of life left in that GPU generation.

18.00": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.89 kg:
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.
