MSI Stealth 18" STEALTH18A2045 Black 2025
The MSI Stealth 18 HX AI is a powerhouse gaming laptop with exceptional performance from its Intel Ultra 9 and RTX 5080, a stunning 18-inch QHD+ 240Hz display, and sleek professional design. Users rave about its speed, screen quality, and storage, but note significant drawbacks: the keyboard spacebar and shift keys produce an annoying loud clunk while typing, and the bottom gets uncomfortably hot. Battery life is mediocre at a few hours, and the laptop is large, requiring a special backpack. One reviewer was misled by a 4K display claim but found only 2K, and audio quality was criticized as worse than a tablet.

Cons
- Loud spacebar and shift key clunk
