Product Overview

MSI GS76 Stealth is a flagship-level 17.3-inch ultra-thin gaming laptop. Sharing much of the same features and specifications with the GE76 Raider 11UX unveiled at the same time, the GS76 Stealth is 20% thinner, measuring just 20.25 in height.
Like the GE76 11UX, the GS76 Stealth 11UX is powered by 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake processor up to i9 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series graphics up to RTX 3080. It shares a similar I/O setup, offering Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 Gen2, WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2. The new 17.3-inch Stealth also comes with a 99.9Wh battery, a significant bump over its 2020 predecessor (GS75). One of the two M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs is also upgraded to PCIe Gen4 x4. Last but not least, the GS76 Stealth comes with a SteelSeries keyboard with per-key RGB lighting.
Compared to the 2020 GS75, another area where significant improvement can be found is the display. Now, the GS76 Stealth can be configured with the same set of display options available with the "full"-size GE76 Raider, including a 4K panel that refreshes at 120Hz and two QHD ones at 165Hz and 240Hz respectively. Each promises rich color gamut that gamers and content creators alike value.
Alongside the new GS76, MSI also refreshed its entire gaming laptop lineup with the new Tiger Lake processors.

MSI GS76 Stealth 11UH-074 shows that the current trend towards slimmer laptops has some drawbacks apart from the elegant looks. Even with a 95-watt TGP, the GeForce RTX 3080 still offers very good 3D and gaming performance, but the graphics card's potential (up to 165 watts) is far from being fully exploited. The biggest highlight the top model is the bright and responsive 4K display, which doesn't have any real downsides.
