Pros and Cons

MSI Stealth 14 AI Studio

Strengths

The laptop has a gorgeous keyboard with per-key RGB backlight, making it customizable and fun to type on.The keyboard requires just enough force to press down, but is still clicky and nice to use.The laptop's speakers are very good, with plenty of bass and clear sound. They may not get super loud, but they're some of the best speakers I've heard on a laptop so far.The MSI Center app is well-designed and has almost no bloat in it, providing a simple interface for performance settings.The laptop performs really well in games, competing with top 14-inch laptops despite having a last-gen Intel chip. It's genuinely fast and would be even faster with the RTX 470 model.The laptop's price is very competitive, starting at around $1,000-$1,200 for the RTX 460 model.

Weaknesses

The design of the laptop may not live up to expectations, especially when it comes to build quality - it doesn't feel like a tank like some laptops do.The screen on the laptop is very reflective, which can be frustrating when trying to use it in bright environments.Battery life on this laptop is absolutely horrible. It barely lasts 4 hours even with perfect conditions and real-world usage might get you half of that.The fans may turn on randomly during load, getting pretty loud but that's a bit normal for gaming laptops.The CPU gets really hot, reaching 100°C a lot of times which is pretty normal for the Intel Ultra chips though.Battery life is not good, even with 'super battery mode' and might be an issue with my specific unit.

MSI CreatorPro X18 HX

Strengths

The MSI CreatorPro X18 HX provides full DDR5 support with up to 5,600 slots and supports up to 192 GB of memory in total.
It has three slots of SSD, one slot of M.2 SSD (PCIe Gen 5), and two slots of PCIe Gen 4 SSD for expandable storage options.
The laptop is easy to upgrade, with clear instructions provided on how to do so, making it a great option for users who like to customize their devices.
The process of upgrading the storage and memory is relatively straightforward once you have all the necessary tools and knowledge.

Weaknesses

The SSD performance may be affected by high temperatures, which could impact overall system performance.
The battery power can only be cut off after pressing the power button for over 25 seconds, which may not be ideal for users who need to upgrade quickly.
There are multiple screws to keep track of during the upgrade process, which can be confusing and time-consuming.
Upgrading the memory requires specific knowledge and tools, which may not be suitable for all users.

MSI Stealth 14 AI Studio

The MSI Stealth 14 AI Studio promises high-performance value for creators and gamers at an affordable price point. But does it live up to the hype? This laptop boasts a sleek design, OLED display, and powerful RTX graphics, but its magnesium alloy chassis and plastic bottom have sparked debate about build quality. With various configuration options available, we'll examine whether this model delivers on its performance claims and determine if its value proposition holds true.

MSI CreatorPro X18 HX

I recently upgraded the storage and memory in my Titan 18hx A14 V series laptop, and I must say it was a bit of a challenge. To upgrade successfully, you'll need to prepare a few tools, including a plastic pry tool, screwdrivers, and anti-static protection. The laptop supports up to 192GB of DDR5 RAM and has three slots for SSDs, one of which is an M.2 SSD with PCIe Gen 5 support. In this review, I'll walk you through the process step-by-step.
