1
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,719
what a stealthy laptop oh it's upside down I'm sorry MSI

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:17,640
you sponsored this video and I'll be gentle from now on let's put the laptop

3
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:24,599
aside for a second and see what we get in the box of the MSI stealth a16 AI

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:30,119
Plus in here we have our power brick which is good for 240 Watts which is

5
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:34,840
delivered over this proprietary charger I'm not a huge fan of that but at the

6
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:39,719
same time that is on the absolute limits of USB type-c and this will be more

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:45,440
efficient in here we also have our quick start guide which tells you connect to

8
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:47,320
power and turn it on in many different

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,480
languages well I know it's called the stealth but in the top down you just

10
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:57,600
can't even see it it's just a monolith there if I turn it a tiny bit oh there's

11
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,280
the MSI logo no gamer stuff here today

12
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:06,439
just pure stealth on this magnesium alloy chassis which

13
00:01:02,199 --> 00:01:11,640
is decently light let's see looking at

14
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:15,600
the weight here it comes in at 2.1 kg or

15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,560
4.6 lb and given the power of this thing

16
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,000
that is pretty darn good spoilers it has a 4070 in it this is definitely the kind

17
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:28,040
of laptop that you can fool your boss into thinking is professional and very

18
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:32,840
nice when an actual fact it's a gaming laptop in disguise

19
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:38,600
but the secret is though a good gaming laptop and a good workstation same thing

20
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:45,439
no one has to know the difference okay let's have a look here

21
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,040
the chassis is really quite sturdy I can

22
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:52,759
push if I like really send it right below the space bar you can see a little

23
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:58,799
bit of flex but the Magnesium aloy chassis very stiff as we

24
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,719
expect panels got a tiny bit of movement

25
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:07,079
but nothing out of the ordinary does it okay it doesn't bounce doesn't bounce

26
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:10,640
too bad very good oh is it matte you guys didn't tell me this was a matte

27
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:15,519
display I love it here we also have a healthy amount of IO so we've got

28
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:20,440
headphone microphone combo Jack USB 4 a usba and also our power inputs right

29
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:27,519
there hopping over to the left side we have Ethernet 2.5 confirmed it's 2.5 h2i

30
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,519
2.1 and another USB type A nothing on

31
00:02:27,519 --> 00:02:32,720
the back nope just heat sink

32
00:02:30,519 --> 00:02:37,440
all right let's hit it here that's really antil climatic with

33
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:42,280
no RGB on the keyboard I think I can enable some oh there we

34
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:46,080
go the first thing that I've noticed while booting this up is that the screen

35
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:51,040
is fanastic in the sense that it's not

36
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:55,840
trying to do more than it needs to so many displays are just completely

37
00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,920
oversaturated overdone this right here is just Pleasant it's the matte finish

38
00:02:58,519 --> 00:03:05,599
we have 600 nits of of peak brightness and also 16x

39
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:07,840
10600 piece so it's like 1440 but just a

40
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:12,040
little bit taller so that you can fit more stuff onto your laptop and it's

41
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:19,720
just an aspect ratio that makes way more sense in a laptop form factor

42
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:24,040
H this keyboard might not

43
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,680
suck the keyboard I think is fine you

44
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,360
will be able to get up to full speed on it and I was able to type without making

45
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:35,840
a whole lot of errors but it is certainly not a satisfying experience

46
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:38,000
the consistency key to key is not super

47
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,239
high so it isn't going to allow you to like absolutely shred like on some other

48
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,200
laptops but that's said I don't think it's going to actively hold you back and

49
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:51,720
for gaming in particular it's going to be just fine what's actually good though

50
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:56,439
is the trackpad that's below it they haven't done anything super fancy like

51
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,840
you don't get a force touch trackpad but it is just a very simple large trackpad

52
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:04,879
that takes except all of the available space that they have there it has a real

53
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:10,120
nice soft sort of click like it's not very loud but it's nice and responsive

54
00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:16,000
it more than does the job all right let's have a look at our specs here for

55
00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:18,720
the CPU we have an AMD ryzen AI 9 365

56
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:26,199
which has 10 cores 20 threads and goes up to 5 GHz boost we also have 32 GB of

57
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:29,880
RAM at 7500 megat transfers per second a

58
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:32,840
terab of storage from WD Wi-Fi 7 from

59
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:39,320
Qualcomm love to see that we also have our GPU which is an NVIDIA RTX 470 the 8

60
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:44,440
GB version and of course we have an npu this one's good for 50 tops so you can

61
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:49,880
do all of your co-pilot plus things that you want to do have paint generate

62
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,840
images and fun things like that what I do actually like is that they have

63
00:04:52,199 --> 00:05:00,000
intelligent switching of your modes of the laptop something like 90% of people

64
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:04,919
from data that I have seen will never change the mode of their laptop so it

65
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:08,639
will be a huge benefit to them to have this changing between an office mode

66
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,560
where it's really quiet and cool and has long battery and then automatically

67
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:16,440
switching into a gaming mode for when you actually need that sort of power all

68
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,440
of that's just taken care of through msi's AI

69
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:26,360
engine ooh the spatial of the audio is

70
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,199
pretty good that F1 car sounded like it went from like here all the way over to

71
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:34,840
there all right how many FPS do you guys think we're going to get I'm say 110

72
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:41,120
okay so it looks like we're getting about 90 FPS here sometimes it goes up

73
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:46,720
to 100 but I think that makes sense we are screen recording this and Labs in

74
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:50,120
their Labs testing were able to get 110

75
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,199
FPS out of this so it all just about

76
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:58,520
lines up and I would say that I am having really quite a good time 240 HZ

77
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:03,800
display even if you're not getting all of those frames looks pretty freaking

78
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,080
good when you're gaming on it oh I just got fastest lap and since I've have

79
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,280
asserted my dominance I think that we can call it there thank you to whoever

80
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:18,880
just dropped something one one sec one sec one sec you hear that that is both

81
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:23,520
not very loud and an incredibly good quality to those fans cuz you can have

82
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:28,160
fans that are not particularly loud but if it's a really annoying not

83
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:33,280
particularly loud sound it's it's still annoying this right here was just a nice

84
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:40,120
whoosh you won't really hear it cuz it's not just quiet but it's

85
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,800
nice okay let's see how the speakers are

86
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:47,120
in here we have the D audio system which has two pairs of force cancelling

87
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:52,960
wolfers and two tweeters and I'm guessing it's perfectly fine it seems

88
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:58,479
like spatially it is doing a really good job like this sounds super wide like

89
00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:00,759
it's laptop something like this big but

90
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:06,720
at the same time it sounds very tinny we're not getting a

91
00:07:03,479 --> 00:07:09,060
whole lot on the low end it's very high

92
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,720
but let's see at the drop

93
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:17,199
here okay it's it's all

94
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,879
right that's nothing exceptional though I want to see if there are some controls

95
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:26,599
though let's see if what happens if I just turn audio effects

96
00:07:26,599 --> 00:07:31,960
off hm

97
00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:38,360
that's uh you want the effects to stay on that

98
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:41,120
is for sure you turn them off and it

99
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:47,800
sounds like it's this big and a tin can yeah leave that

100
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:50,599
on oh man does this have that thing too

101
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:54,080
easy surround a I really like this feature we're not going to show it off

102
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:59,240
right now but you can have a Bluetooth speaker that just like goes behind your

103
00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:04,039
head or pairs to add more speakers to your laptop setup which is actually

104
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:08,720
pretty sick cuz you can very easily have like a janky surround sound setup from

105
00:08:07,479 --> 00:08:14,240
just Bluetooth speakers that you have laying around your house and it's pretty

106
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:19,199
awesome all right how is this webcam it's looking not too bad I did hear the

107
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,879
microphone earlier and it seemed like it wasn't so good but you can be the judge

108
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:26,919
of that let's move this around it seems to be doing a pretty decent job I'm a

109
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:31,199
little bit blown out here and it's definitely grainy but at the same time

110
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:36,599
this is some pretty challenging lighting as I move around between shadows and

111
00:08:34,279 --> 00:08:40,080
super bright Studio lighting it is making me very red which I don't think I

112
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:45,480
am in person a little bit a little bit not

113
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:51,240
like that though I think that this webcam gets a it's perfectly fine but

114
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:55,600
what makes it very good is that we have Windows hello facial recognition up here

115
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:59,920
and if that doesn't recognize you we also have a fingerprint reader down here

116
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:03,839
and the combo of those two is is my absolute favorite cuz maybe you're in

117
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,920
harsh lighting and your Windows hello doesn't work just fingerprint it maybe

118
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:12,519
you have gloves on and you can't use your fingerprint wow your face worked

119
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:15,000
the two together is great just like

120
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:21,120
taking apart laptops is great all right 7 Phillips head screws and a lot of

121
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,519
patience and prying later we are in and

122
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:29,160
there is a lot to like in here in particular this

123
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:33,519
99.99 wat battery you can put a maximum

124
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:36,320
of 100 W hours on a plane so they got in

125
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:42,079
just under that and it's good for 8 hours and 30 minutes according to our

126
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:46,000
Labs which is fantastic for a gaming laptop or not a gaming laptop a

127
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:50,440
professional laptop such as this one that is very powerful as for upgrade

128
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:54,800
ability we have a Wi-Fi card right here that can be swapped out if you want to

129
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,079
go to Wi-Fi 10 in the future or whatever

130
00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:02,240
it ends up being we also have an empty SSD slot right here which I love to see

131
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:06,839
but unfortunately the RAM is soldered down with the speeds that it's going at

132
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:11,720
7500 megat transfers per second you cannot currently get sodm that are that

133
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:15,680
fast so I can see the tradeoff of not allowing you to upgrade it but it is

134
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:20,279
still a little bit unfortunate what's not unfortunate though is the cooling

135
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:26,560
system in here we have five heat pipes two fans and as you heard it is pretty

136
00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:30,320
good at being silent and of course below those heat pipes is the GPU and if you

137
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:35,639
have been looking at NVIDIA's market price at all it is good for AI lots of

138
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:40,639
people think it's good for AI it can do things like Photoshop and blender and

139
00:10:37,959 --> 00:10:45,880
just generally be very fast overall I have to say this is quite a solid

140
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:48,600
package heaps of power heaps of well

141
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:52,000
power but in battery form and the price is actually not too bad this thing comes

142
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,320
in at $2,000 at Best Buy and you can check

143
00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:01,839
that out at the link down below and if you don't want to check it out there's also a whole slew of other laptops that

144
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:05,880
Ms I makes Creator Prestige and Summit and also thank you very much for

145
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:11,639
watching this video hit like get subscribed and just have a great old day

146
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,639
I'll see you later
