According to our laptop expert
The MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 8RE-043BE is a powerful 15.6-inch gaming laptop on which you can play the most demanding games anywhere. This laptop is only 1.79cm thick and weighs less than 2 kilograms. This means you can take this MSI anywhere without a problem. Thanks to the NVIDIA GTX 1060 video card, you can play graphically impressive games like The Witcher without issue. Do you play competitive shooters? The MSI GS65 has an 144HZ screen that flawlessly shows moving images. This will give you a competitive advantage. Even if you have multiple programs running in the background, the 16GB RAM will prevent this from causing your game to tear or stutter.

I was looking for a laptop like the MSI GS65 because I often edit videos with premiere pro and after effects. A lot of powerhouse laptops are terribly ugly or just a bit too heavy. The MSI GS65 has a fantastic design and is still very light.
I think it's a shame that the keyboard doesn't have a number pad, but after using this laptop for a week, that hasn't really been a problem anymore.
It is a pity that there is only 500 GB of storage, I can expand this of course, but the motherboard of the laptop is reversed. That means you have to take out the entire motherboard to add the extra SSD (same for the memory). For me this is not a big problem as I have done this before but in general this is very annoying because something can always go wrong.

Have been using the laptop for 2 days now and really like it. New games can often be played at maximum settings.
Unfortunately, Windows 10 Home is supplied and therefore no Hyper-V available. For the new Docker tricks you have to take into account an extra 150 euros for an upgrade to Pro.

I tried the laptop for two weeks. The contents of the laptop; i.e. speed, etc. is very good. The reason why I went for another laptop is because of the build quality, because this one is really bad for the money you pay.
The back of the laptop is plastic... O_o. I was shocked when I saw this. It would have been a perfect laptop if the laptop case was 100% aluminum . So if you are interested in the laptop, take a look at what you value most.
