The MSI GS63VR 7RG Stealth Pro is quick, well designed and as powerful as a laptop of this size can get. Now if MSI would only fix the touchpad, it’d be practically perfect. Show

Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test. With Nvidia’s Max-Q design shrinking down the amount of space required for a powerful GPU, thinner and lighter gaming laptops are slowly growing more commonplace. The MSI GS63VR 7RG is one of those ultra-thin and super-powerful laptops, weighing just over 4 pounds and not even an inch thick. The likes of the Asus ROG Zephyrus and the Alienware 15 R3 also fit the same, ever shrinking mold, each one having its share of trade-offs in the name of portability. For the past week, we’ve put the MSI GS63VR 7RG to the test: running our benchmarks, competing for the ever-elusive chicken dinner in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and using it as one would any other laptop. And, you know what? It’s pretty darn good – well, save for the touchpad. Spec Sheet Here is the MSI GS63VR 7RG Stealth Pro configuration sent to TechRadar for review: CPU: 2.8GHz Intel Core i7-7700HQ (dual-core, 4MB cache, up to 3.5GHz) Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (Max-Q, 8GB DDR5); Intel HD Graphics 630 RAM: 16GB DDR4 Screen: 15.6-inch FHD (1,920 x 1,080) wide-view display (120Hz, 3ms, HDR) Storage: 1TB HDD; 256GB SSD (PCI-E Gen3x4) Ports: 1 x Ethernet, 1 x SD card reader, 1 x audio in jack, 1 x audio out jack, 1 x mini DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI, 1 x USB-C 3.1, 3 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0 Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11ac; Bluetooth 4.1 Camera: 720p (1,280 x 720) webcam Weight: 4.18 pounds (1.9kg) Size: 14.9 x 9.8 x 0.7 inches (37.8 x 24.9 x 1.78cm; W x D x H) Price and availabilityWe have searched high and low for the exact configuration we received for this review, but cannot find it listed for sale anywhere. Instead, the closest model we can find is available through NewEgg and Amazon. That model is equipped with double the RAM and double the SSD capacity; pricing starts at $2,329 (about £1,758, AU$3,036), depending on where you buy. With the added storage and memory, the pricing of the MSI GS63VR 7RG is a bit easier to justify than the $2,699 (AU$3,659, about £2,105) suggested retail price for the ROG Zephyrus, equipped with a superior Nvidia GTX 1080 graphics chip but half the amount of memory and even less storage. Alternatively, the less expensive Alienware 15 R3 lacks the GTX 1070 Max-Q, and has half the memory for almost half the price of the MSI GS63VR 7RG, starting at $1,099 (£1,349, AU$2,699). DesignUpon opening the lid, you’ll notice the touchpad centered just below the keyboard, with a number pad to the right. The hypnotic default lighting scheme of the SteelSeries keyboard immediately catches your attention. On the front of the housing are a series of indicator lights to quickly let you know if Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is on, as well as monitor disk activity, Num Lock and similar features. The left side of the base is where you’ll find the majority of ports, including three USB 3.0 slots, audio connections, SD card slot and a gigabit Ethernet port. On the right is where you’ll find the power input, USB-C 3.1 port, with an HDMI and mini DisplayPort rounding out the housing. With an all-black, brushed aluminum exterior, the MSI GS63VR 7RG doesn’t scream ‘I’m a gaming laptop’ with the same in-your-face, black-and-red color scheme that MSI and others have made all too common. We are quite fond of the base material on the MSI GS63VR 7RG. Instead of leaving the plastic exposed, MSI covers it with a soft, felt-like material. Granted, the bottom of the laptop will hardly ever be touched or seen, but it just feels comfortable. Naturally, the biggest draw to the overall design is going to be its size and weight. Weighing 4.18 pounds (1.9kg), the MSI GS63VR 7RG handily beats out the 7.69-pound (3.49kg) Alienware 15 R3, and narrowly bests the 4.85-pound (2.2kg) ROG Zephyrus. The overall footprint of all three units is similar, with the MSI GS63VR 7RG measuring 14.9 x 9.8 x 0.7 inches, the ROG Zephyrus at 14.9 x 10.3 x 0.66-0.7 inches, and the Alienware 15 R3 at 15.3 x 12 x 1 inches. MSI's Stealth Pro 4K is a thin gaming laptop with a nice 4K-resolution 17.3-inch display. There's plenty to like inside and out including an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor and Nividia GTX 1060 graphics and great connectivity options, but the system really targets gamers and graphics pros who want a big, accurate, high-res display in a slim chassis. The GoodThe MSI GS73VR Stealth Pro 4K is much thinner than your average 17.3-inch gaming laptop and packs a nice 4K-resolution display, a responsive RGB LED backlit keyboard and extensive connectivity options. The BadThough the slim metal body is appreciated, but the lid and body are flimsy given the system's $2,300 price. The GPU is not quite enough for 4K gaming with detail settings cranked up, so you might find yourself picking between high resolution or high details. The fan noise can be distracting and the speakers sound thin and hollow. The Bottom LineIf you don't mind paying extra for a thin chassis and a 17-inch 4K-resolution display, the MSI GS73VR Stealth Pro 4K is worth looking into, but you can get more performance for your money if you keep looking. The configuration I tested comes in at $2,300, though if you hunt around you might be able to find it for a little less. A similar configuration in the UK sells for about £1,900 and in Australia for AU$3,400. That's a far cry from the near $4,000 Razer wants for its similarly thin 17-inch Blade Pro, though that laptop is significantly better in almost all aspects. On the other hand, if you don't mind some extra thickness and/or don't need the 4K display, you can find other less expensive options like HP's 17-inch Omen and the Asus ROG Strix GL753 that can match or surpass the MSI's performance.

The Stealth Pro is a nice-looking laptop with a brushed aluminum body and a relatively unobtrusive logo that illuminates when you open the lid. It's reasonably lightweight, too, at 5.4 pounds (2.4 kg). But pick it up and start using it and its looks start to tarnish. Flexible, but not in a good wayIn general, I don't get too hung up on whether a laptop lid or chassis is a little too flexible. When I call it out in a review, such as with the LG Gram, it's usually because it was particularly noticeable during use, and that's the case here. Just while typing I could feel the keyboard deck giving under pressure from my palms. And when I picked up the laptop with the screen open and my hand wrapped around the back, my fingers pressed into the bottom of the lid causing the screen to bend in. Sarah Tew/CNET The bending has no bearing on the performance of the system, but if I'm paying $2,300 for a laptop, it shouldn't bend and flex like that. It speaks to the overall perceived quality of the laptop and with the 4K display being a chunk of what you're paying for here, maybe the lid should be reinforced so as to not bend so easily. I mean, aluminum chassis are nice, but I'd rather have plastic if it means protecting the screen and components and delivering a more comfortable experience. Also, because of how thin the laptop is only 0.8 inch or 20.3 mm there isn't much space for airflow to keep its components cool. As soon as you launch a game or do anything else demanding, the Stealth Pro's fans kick in. The fan noise is noticeable, and if you're using the system's speakers, you'll have to crank the audio to hear clearly over the sound. Unfortunately, you might not like what you hear once you crank the speakers. They aren't the worst I've heard recently (that honor goes to the Asus ROG G752VS), but music sounds thin and hollow. Even after tweaking the included Nahimic 2 audio software, I couldn't get music or movies to sound particularly good. However, when using the game-type-specific presets, audio did sound better with games. Still, you'll probably want to invest in a good headset or external speakers. Here's the good newsSarah Tew/CNET The rest of the laptop's features are actually pretty good. The SteelSeries keyboard delivers a comfortable and responsive typing experience, and RGB LED lighting in three zones is fun and useful. The touchpad is decent, too, though you'll want to tune the sensitivity to help with palm rejection and cursor jumpiness. MSI's Dragon Center software groups together MSI's utilities for doing things like monitoring performance and adjusting display color along with third-party apps like the aforementioned Nahimic 2 and SteelSeries Engine 3 for controlling the keyboard lighting and creating key macros. If you're plan is to use this as part of a desktop setup, you should be pretty happy with its connectivity. Along with one USB 2.0 and three USB 3.0 ports, Ethernet and an SD card slot, you'll find mini DisplayPort and HDMI 2.0 outputs, a USB 3.1 Type-C with Thunderbolt 3 and separate mic and audio output jacks. Sarah Tew/CNET High-res or high detail?While the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 card in the Stealth Pro is VR-ready and plenty good enough for games new and old, it can't effectively handle playing at the screen's native resolution with detail settings at ultra or high. You can set it to 4K and back the details down to medium and get playable (and enjoyable) frame rates or you can drop the resolution to 1,920x1,080 and crank up the detail settings, but you can't really do both. Of course, this is going to depend on the games you're playing, but generally speaking, the best experience won't be at 4K with high detail settings. The 4K display is good for photo and video editing, however, and MSI calibrates the screen and lets you easily switch between sRGB and 100 percent Adobe RGB color spaces. If this is something that you need, then the MSI is worth checking out. Battery life is never particularly good on gaming laptops (you can only really expect about an hour when playing a game), but the Stealth Pro is shorter than most. In our streaming video battery rundown test it reached 3 hours and 28 minutes. Sarah Tew/CNET It's a mixed bagAssuming you don't care about the flimsy build quality, the MSI Stealth Pro 4K still isn't the easiest to recommend. There's a lot to like about it, especially its 4K display, connectivity options and thin body, but it comes at a higher price than competing systems that might be a little thicker. Plus, its graphics card can't effectively push all those pixels for games. But, if the display and slim design are must-haves, the Stealth Pro is worth checking out.

What resolution is the MSI Stealth?
