MSI being the world leader in gaming hardware had launched a suite of gaming laptops that are powered by Intel 8th Generation processors in three modesl: the GS65 Stealth Thin gaming notebook, GT75VR Titan with i9 processor and GE Raider RGB Edition.
“These new models are like nothing the gaming laptop market has seen before,” said Eric Kuo, MSI Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing. “We’re breaking gaming laptop conventions with the Stealth Thin’s beautiful new design, the unmatched performance of the GT75 with an i9 processor and the Raider’s unique RGB lighting.”
GS65 Stealth Thin Gaming Laptop
The GS65 Stealth Thin gaming laptop is the first to feature a 144Hz 7ms IPS display with 4.9mm bezels that could achieve a stunning 82 percent screen-to-body ratio. With extremely thin bezels, MSI could still fit in a webcam in the top bezel. Following current trends, the thin dimensions and golden styling, the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin gaming laptop enters a new stylish era.
Equipped with a GTX 1070 with NVIDIA Max-Q technology and the latest 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor, it can power the 144Hz panel which also allows it to gain up to 40 percent performance enhancement over the previous generation. Paired with the new processor, the GeForce GTX 10 series graphics and MSI Cooler Boost Trinity cooling design, the GS65 offers an uncompromised gaming experience for gaming enthusiasts.
To design the Stealth Thin, MSI sought to break all stereotypes of traditional gaming laptops with a bold new golden accent and trim. Weighing only 1.8KG, the Stealth Thin packs over 8 hours of battery life into an incredibly slim chassis for portability. For a laptop of its size, it is equipped with a 82Whr battery, one of the largest batteries available for a laptop this size.
Featuring the new per-key RGB keyboard designed by SteelSeries, users can also customize each key to receive real-time game status through keyboard lighting. MSI will also be rolling out a massive update for the Dragon Center 2.0 that comes with an exclusive gaming mode; redesigned to bring a sleek new US that is intuitive while offering advanced configurations for power users. The new gaming mode will now optimize system performances and game-specific keyboard lighting for a list of supported new titles.
