00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.719
what a stealthy laptop oh it's upside down I'm sorry MSI

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

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

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:30.119
Plus in here we have our power brick which is good for 240 Watts which is

00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:34.840
delivered over this proprietary charger I'm not a huge fan of that but at the

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

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:45.440
efficient in here we also have our quick start guide which tells you connect to

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.320
power and turn it on in many different

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:51.480
languages well I know it's called the stealth but in the top down you just

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

00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:00.280
the MSI logo no gamer stuff here today

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:06.439
just pure stealth on this magnesium alloy chassis which

00:01:02.199 --> 00:01:11.640
is decently light let's see looking at

00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:15.600
the weight here it comes in at 2.1 kg or

00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:18.560
4.6 lb and given the power of this thing

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

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:28.040
of laptop that you can fool your boss into thinking is professional and very

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:32.840
nice when an actual fact it's a gaming laptop in disguise

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:38.600
but the secret is though a good gaming laptop and a good workstation same thing

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:45.439
no one has to know the difference okay let's have a look here

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:48.040
the chassis is really quite sturdy I can

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

00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:58.799
bit of flex but the Magnesium aloy chassis very stiff as we

00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.719
expect panels got a tiny bit of movement

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:07.079
but nothing out of the ordinary does it okay it doesn't bounce doesn't bounce

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

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

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:20.440
headphone microphone combo Jack USB 4 a usba and also our power inputs right

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

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.519
2.1 and another USB type A nothing on

00:02:27.519 --> 00:02:32.720
the back nope just heat sink

00:02:30.519 --> 00:02:37.440
all right let's hit it here that's really antil climatic with

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:42.280
no RGB on the keyboard I think I can enable some oh there we

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:46.080
go the first thing that I've noticed while booting this up is that the screen

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:51.040
is fanastic in the sense that it's not

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:55.840
trying to do more than it needs to so many displays are just completely

00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.920
oversaturated overdone this right here is just Pleasant it's the matte finish

00:02:58.519 --> 00:03:05.599
we have 600 nits of of peak brightness and also 16x

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.840
10600 piece so it's like 1440 but just a

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:12.040
little bit taller so that you can fit more stuff onto your laptop and it's

00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:19.720
just an aspect ratio that makes way more sense in a laptop form factor

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:24.040
H this keyboard might not

00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:25.680
suck the keyboard I think is fine you

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

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:35.840
a whole lot of errors but it is certainly not a satisfying experience

00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:38.000
the consistency key to key is not super

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

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

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:51.720
for gaming in particular it's going to be just fine what's actually good though

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:56.439
is the trackpad that's below it they haven't done anything super fancy like

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

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:04.879
that takes except all of the available space that they have there it has a real

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

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

00:04:11.799 --> 00:04:18.720
the CPU we have an AMD ryzen AI 9 365

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

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:29.880
RAM at 7500 megat transfers per second a

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:32.840
terab of storage from WD Wi-Fi 7 from

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

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

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:49.880
do all of your co-pilot plus things that you want to do have paint generate

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:54.840
images and fun things like that what I do actually like is that they have

00:04:52.199 --> 00:05:00.000
intelligent switching of your modes of the laptop something like 90% of people

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:04.919
from data that I have seen will never change the mode of their laptop so it

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:08.639
will be a huge benefit to them to have this changing between an office mode

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.560
where it's really quiet and cool and has long battery and then automatically

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:16.440
switching into a gaming mode for when you actually need that sort of power all

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.440
of that's just taken care of through msi's AI

00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:26.360
engine ooh the spatial of the audio is

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

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

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:41.120
okay so it looks like we're getting about 90 FPS here sometimes it goes up

00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:46.720
to 100 but I think that makes sense we are screen recording this and Labs in

00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:50.120
their Labs testing were able to get 110

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:52.199
FPS out of this so it all just about

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

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.800
display even if you're not getting all of those frames looks pretty freaking

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

00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:12.280
asserted my dominance I think that we can call it there thank you to whoever

00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:18.880
just dropped something one one sec one sec one sec you hear that that is both

00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:23.520
not very loud and an incredibly good quality to those fans cuz you can have

00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:28.160
fans that are not particularly loud but if it's a really annoying not

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:33.280
particularly loud sound it's it's still annoying this right here was just a nice

00:06:30.520 --> 00:06:40.120
whoosh you won't really hear it cuz it's not just quiet but it's

00:06:36.520 --> 00:06:42.800
nice okay let's see how the speakers are

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:47.120
in here we have the D audio system which has two pairs of force cancelling

00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:52.960
wolfers and two tweeters and I'm guessing it's perfectly fine it seems

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:58.479
like spatially it is doing a really good job like this sounds super wide like

00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:00.759
it's laptop something like this big but

00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:06.720
at the same time it sounds very tinny we're not getting a

00:07:03.479 --> 00:07:09.060
whole lot on the low end it's very high

00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.720
but let's see at the drop

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:17.199
here okay it's it's all

00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:20.879
right that's nothing exceptional though I want to see if there are some controls

00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:26.599
though let's see if what happens if I just turn audio effects

00:07:26.599 --> 00:07:31.960
off hm

00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:38.360
that's uh you want the effects to stay on that

00:07:34.840 --> 00:07:41.120
is for sure you turn them off and it

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:47.800
sounds like it's this big and a tin can yeah leave that

00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:50.599
on oh man does this have that thing too

00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:54.080
easy surround a I really like this feature we're not going to show it off

00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:59.240
right now but you can have a Bluetooth speaker that just like goes behind your

00:07:56.479 --> 00:08:04.039
head or pairs to add more speakers to your laptop setup which is actually

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:08.720
pretty sick cuz you can very easily have like a janky surround sound setup from

00:08:07.479 --> 00:08:14.240
just Bluetooth speakers that you have laying around your house and it's pretty

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

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

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

00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:31.199
little bit blown out here and it's definitely grainy but at the same time

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:36.599
this is some pretty challenging lighting as I move around between shadows and

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:40.080
super bright Studio lighting it is making me very red which I don't think I

00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.480
am in person a little bit a little bit not

00:08:42.959 --> 00:08:51.240
like that though I think that this webcam gets a it's perfectly fine but

00:08:48.959 --> 00:08:55.600
what makes it very good is that we have Windows hello facial recognition up here

00:08:53.640 --> 00:08:59.920
and if that doesn't recognize you we also have a fingerprint reader down here

00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:03.839
and the combo of those two is is my absolute favorite cuz maybe you're in

00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:06.920
harsh lighting and your Windows hello doesn't work just fingerprint it maybe

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:12.519
you have gloves on and you can't use your fingerprint wow your face worked

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:15.000
the two together is great just like

00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:21.120
taking apart laptops is great all right 7 Phillips head screws and a lot of

00:09:18.040 --> 00:09:23.519
patience and prying later we are in and

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:29.160
there is a lot to like in here in particular this

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:33.519
99.99 wat battery you can put a maximum

00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:36.320
of 100 W hours on a plane so they got in

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:42.079
just under that and it's good for 8 hours and 30 minutes according to our

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:46.000
Labs which is fantastic for a gaming laptop or not a gaming laptop a

00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:50.440
professional laptop such as this one that is very powerful as for upgrade

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

00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:57.079
go to Wi-Fi 10 in the future or whatever

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

00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:06.839
but unfortunately the RAM is soldered down with the speeds that it's going at

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:11.720
7500 megat transfers per second you cannot currently get sodm that are that

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

00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:20.279
still a little bit unfortunate what's not unfortunate though is the cooling

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

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

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

00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:40.639
people think it's good for AI it can do things like Photoshop and blender and

00:10:37.959 --> 00:10:45.880
just generally be very fast overall I have to say this is quite a solid

00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:48.600
package heaps of power heaps of well

00:10:45.880 --> 00:10:52.000
power but in battery form and the price is actually not too bad this thing comes

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:56.320
in at $2,000 at Best Buy and you can check

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

00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:05.880
Ms I makes Creator Prestige and Summit and also thank you very much for

00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:11.639
watching this video hit like get subscribed and just have a great old day

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.639
I'll see you later
