MSI Stealth 15M

Strengths

The Spectrum backlit keyboard has soft, cushy keys that let just the right amount of light to leak out.
The laptop includes a good selection of ports, including four USB 3.2 ports, two type A and two type C, one of which supports DisplayPort.
The Stealth is actually a touch lighter than many other 15-inch gaming laptops and some 14-inch systems too.
The performance is solid, thanks to an Intel Core i7-1280P CPU and an Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU.
The stealth has plenty of oomph, with the ability to play Modern AAA titles at high settings.
The price becomes more palatable if you can get it for under $1400.

Weaknesses

The Stealth's display has somewhat dull colors and a tested brightness of around 250 nits, making movies and games look lifeless.
The battery life is disappointing, with the laptop lasting only 4 hours and 15 minutes on a local video rundown test.
The speakers are just okay, lacking bass despite being loud enough.
The webcam is serviceable but doesn't deliver full HD quality, making it unsuitable for live streaming.
The Stealth's design feels like it has been neglected compared to previous years, with only minor upgrades in the 2022 model.
The laptop has a dated look, with a big chin below the display and a lack of visual flair.
The price is too high, making the laptop less competitive with other options on the market.
