MSI Stealth 15M review: Coasting on its good looks

Featuring an Intel Core i7-12280P CPU, NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU and a chassis that weighs just under four pounds, MSI’s Stealth 15M offers a great balance of performance and portability. And thanks to its understated design, it’s a great system for people who want to keep a lower profile while gaming away from home.

Unfortunately, some of its other components are somewhat mediocre, including its 720p webcam and dim 15.6-inch full HD display. However, the Stealth 15M’s biggest weakness is its battery life which lasted just four hours and 15 minutes on our test – the shortest time we’ve seen on any laptop this year. But if you can overlook its weak longevity and can find one priced at under $1,400, the Stealth 15M could be a decent value for people looking for a thin-and-light all-rounder.

Pros
Slick, understated design, Comfy Spectrum keyboard, Solid port selection,

Cons
Weak battery life, Dim display, Low-res webcam, Small touchpad.
