love it
They worked with me in 2021 where i shipped and received it back twice. They found what the issue was. Im now having fun on my MSI since 2022. Runs great. Gets pretty hot but runs nearly every game I’ve played extremely well. With the high performance mode on. Fans are expectantly loud lol

Acceptable performance, cheap keyboard materials.
Purchased the GS75 Stealth 10SF in December of 2020 mainly for gaming.Pros: Overall performance is acceptable as long as the laptop is plugged in, and the MSI Dargon Center User Scenario is set to Extreme Performance when launching a game. This feature starts all three built-in fans that expels the heat. Keeping the system cool enough to play my games for hours.Cons: When Extreme Performance is enabled the fans noise does increase but not bad enough that it effects the external speakers. The last thing I’m not happy about is the keyboard. The “S” & “D” keys wore out about three months of use. The “D” key got so bad that the key plunger was protruding from the plastic housing. If look at the attached picture you can see it for yourself.Would I recommend a MSI laptop to anyone? NO

Nice Idea, good looking, serious overheating, endless RMA
Product is really prettyDay one we noticed this laptop gets loud real fast from a fan prospective.The fans are so loud it drowns out the impressive built in speakers so headphone are required for any online PvP gaming.After 15 minutes of gaming the frame rate dropped to 5-10 FPS. Either the computer freezes or restarts after a few minutes of really low FPS.Games tried via Steam and all do not run for longer than 15 minutesBorderlands 3Assassins Creed Odyssey7 Days to DieConan ExilesMinecraft does run for longer than 15 minutes before freezingSolitaire never freezesDuring the last support call the laptop got so hot that you could not touch the keyboard/top speaker area, laptop shut down and would not turn on, even after an hour.The slim form factor is really nice but comes at a cost, heat and fan noise.MSI RMA is EasyMSI’s turnaround time was quick however the replacement motherboard ended up been DOA. Now back at MSI for diagnosis.Ended up paying for shipping the device back to them twice, not a big cost as I’m not far from their CA location, east coast owners may see higher shipping costs.MSI RMA is now really sadReceived the Laptop with loose keys, W key non functional, bent metal casing “from repairs” and a 1/4 x 3 dead “black” led strip on the screen, shipping box showed no signs damage. As the last support case, pre paid shipping was promised but never sent. At this point after so many people have opened it and has spent more time in repairs than been used, I’m expecting better options.MSI RMA is now one of the worst I’ve ever seen.When receiving the laptop back after the 3rd time, Windows had no permissions to download files, install games or applications. Could not even set to default MSI settings with their phone support. While working with a tech to restore the operating system, it got so hot you could not touch the power switch area, at this point the unit went into a loop in trying to “post”. Back on the phone with tech support to RMA AGAIN. 4th time is the charm?4th RMASo after a long conversation with MSI support they decided to replace the computer entirely, same profile but ended getting better cpu, video card and HDD. (GS75 Stealth 10SGS-027)Sadly even this simple swap they ended up getting wrong.Power supply plug was to big to fit into the laptop.going back for more support…At this point we just want our money back as we have used it for 1 month and its been in for repairs going on 4 months so we are close to of 50% warrantee while the laptop is been repaired.Replacement Laptop issues.The new CORRECT plug power supply was shipped by MSI however it is a 180W power supply. Im reading that the 2080 GPU’s need a 280W power supply.It seems the newer Stealth series now has some protection and updates via the Dragon application. The machine can run quieter BUT this will cost you performance BIG time. The silent mode is for web browsing and watching tv, the END.The replacement with a 2080 GPU was a “refurbished” computer and not net new, so no stickers and pretty box, just a computer. (for the guys this may be ok, my wife likes the bling)However the replacement computer sound was really “tinny”, for comparison we tested games and music against a Dell Precision 7710 and against a Latitude E7410 (mostly music for the E7410) the MSI Stealth was BAD.connected a Logitech headset with USB dongle and sound was great.This implies that the MSI computer speakers are damaged or the sound card is faulty. (Updated the Realtek drivers “MSI drivers” and ensured the Nvidia drivers were not trying to override the sound card). The speakers are loud make no mistake but sound really bad.Opening up another support case with MSI…

Lags & Uncontrolable Mouse Pad
This computer, almost right out of the box, lags to the point you almost can’t use it… for no reason, I can be typing and the computer freezes/delay’s for more than 5 seconds before the typing begins again. The mouse does it too.. it happens constantly!! The 32GB memory and CPU are hardly being touch and this still happens… Also, the mouse pad drives me crazy.. the position makes it so unnatural that I find myself grabbing and dragging everything across the screen when just trying to move the mouse. This has even caused me to copy/move tons of files into directories by accident!! I’d return it if I can but that window closed when I ‘thought it would be ok’.. this is my first MSI computer and will most likely be my last
