MSI is clearly aiming to show that powerful gaming laptops need not be big and bulky, with the Stealth GS75 offering some of the most impressive gaming tech in a slimline design.
According to MSI, “the GS series breaks the stereotype of bulky and heavy gaming laptops, offering an exceptional and portable gaming experience,” and it is also releasing an overhauled version of its GS65 laptop. This 15.6-inch device will now come with the latest Intel processors and Nvidia graphics, while weighing less than 4.19 pounds.
The MSI GE75 Raider is another gaming laptop that will benefit from Nvidia’s new mobile graphics cards. It comes with Intel Core i7 processors, and is – according to MSI – the first 17-inch laptop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card.
This laptop is all about appealing to enthusiasts, with a diamond-cut design, a heavy-duty cooling system, RGB lit keyboard from SteelSeries and powerful audio from Dynaudio.
