MSI Unveils New Line of Gaming Laptops Powered by Intel 8th Generation ProcessorsThe new line includes GS65 Stealth Thin; the GT75 Titan, the first laptop with an i9 processor; the GE Raider RGB Edition; updated GT83 Titan and GT63 Titan; and refreshed GP, GF, GL, and GV series
“These new models are like nothing the gaming laptop market has seen before,” said Eric Kuo, MSI Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing. “We’re breaking gaming laptop conventions with the Stealth Thin’s beautiful new design, the unmatched performance of the GT75 with an i9 processor and the Raider’s unique RGB lighting.”
GS65 Stealth Thin Gaming Laptop
When designing the Stealth Thin, MSI sought to break all the stereotypes traditionally seen in gaming laptops. MSI chose a bold new golden accent and trim to make the smallest details of the laptop glint. Weighing just 1.79kg, the Stealth Thin packs 8+ hours of battery life into an incredibly slim chassis, providing real portability not traditionally found in powerful gaming laptops. Greater power of 4 cell battery has one of the largest capacity available in a laptop this size.
The Stealth Thin also features a new per-key RGB keyboard designed by SteelSeries. Users can customize each key and receive real-time game status through keyboard lighting. MSI is also rolling out a massive update for Dragon Center 2.0 that comes with an exclusive gaming mode. The redesign brings a sleek new UI that is intuitive while still offering advanced configurations for power users. The gaming mode now optimizes system performance and game-specific keyboard lighting for a list of supported new titles.
The GS65 Stealth Thin is now available for pre-order on Newegg and Amazon and will be available online and in stores by the end of April.
