Pros and Cons

MSI GS76 Stealth

Strengths

The laptop feels fairly solid all things considered, with the exception of the lid which does wobble a bit.
Often a lighter laptop means less materials and a weaker machine, but the GS76 feels fairly solid all things considered.
The option to disable optimus for a speed boost in games is a great feature.
The I/O selection is great, with no older USB 3.2 Gen1 at all.
The SD card slot performs very nicely, basically maxing out my V90 card.
DaVinci Resolve performance is right alongside 2080 Max-Q laptops.
The keyboard and sound work fine under Linux support.
The touchpad works fine under Linux support.

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

MSI Crosshair 15

Strengths

Gaming performance was great, I mean yeah sure, not quite as good as some other 3070 laptops with a MUX switch or higher GPU power limits, but regardless you'll be running modern games at 1440p decent settings no problem on this hardware.
The 1440p screen was quite good in terms of color gamut and brightness was acceptable. Response time was alright, but the overdrive mode didn't seem to do anything.
Shipping it with decent RAM was a plus
You can still use the up arrow key to max out the fans and keyboard lighting adjustment works too.

Weaknesses

The laptop was surprisingly poor considering the 90Wh size of the battery
The fans could use some tuning. The laptop is more audible compared to a lot of others, and it's either too loud or too quiet.
The screen wobble and weird touchpad problem were notable issues
The ports weren't amazing, USB 2.0 in 2022 feels a bit rough

MSI GS76 Stealth

The MSI GS76 Stealth is a sleek and powerful 17-inch gaming laptop, designed to deliver high-performance without sacrificing portability. Weighing in at just over 5 pounds, this laptop packs a punch with its Intel Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GPU, and up to 64GB of RAM. But does its commitment to thinness come at the cost of cooling efficiency and user-friendly design? In this review, we'll put the GS76 Stealth through its paces to see if it's worth the investment for gamers on-the-go.

MSI Crosshair 15

The MSI Crosshair 15 is a gaming laptop that boasts impressive specs, but its value proposition remains uncertain. With a 1440p screen, 12th gen processor, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, it should deliver silky-smooth performance in modern games. However, its battery life falls short of expectations, and the cooling system could be more refined. The price tag also seems steep compared to similar laptops on the market. Can this gaming laptop justify its cost with strong performance and a unique design?
