MSI's thin Stealth Pro 4K laptop is nothing but hit and miss

2017-05-23
you the MSI stealth pro 4k comes in at about half the price of our favorite slim 17-inch gamer the razor blade pro but it's lower prices understood when you look closely you do get some nice features like the 4k matte screen with a hundred percent Adobe RGB color space a comfortable responsive keyboard with three adjustable color zones many many ports including a couple video outputs separate mic and headphone jacks and a Thunderbolt three USB type-c port Emma sighs dragon Center software helps you do things from fine-tuning the display and monitoring performance to the keyboard lighting and creating key macros it's a fairly powerful gaming system too with an Intel Core i7 7700 HQ processor and NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics it's enough for VR but oddly it's not quite enough for 4k gaming with detail settings cranked up so you might find yourself picking between high resolution or high details also at three-and-a-half hours battery life on our streaming video test you shouldn't plan on being too far from an outlet for too long when not gaming the 4k screen comes in handy for photo editing and you can enjoy 4k content or just really tiny icons and text anyway did I mention the body is a bit flimsy for the money with flex in the body and screen and because it's so thin the fans really blow when taxing the laptop and the lackluster speakers are ok for games but music sounds thin no matter how much you play with its audio utility so basically it's not perfect and a little more than 2 grand it seems you're paying extra for the thin chassis in the 4k screen which is fine if that's what you need you
