Last but not least, I just had to play a frustratingly difficult match of Apex Legends, right? The good thing is, with Apex Legends graphics settings set to the highest possible levels on QHD resolution, I could hit roughly around 95 to 100 FPS. In other words, the laptop had no issues dealing with all of it. With all of this at work, the laptop CPU was at only 25%, while the RAM/Memory was at 50%. I watched some 4K videos on YouTube and started downloading games on Steam for added measure. Add a bit of image editing to the mix, and that is what my day-to-day usage looks like. Also, I always have the Spotify app running in the background for quick access to some tunes in the midst of work. It usually involves writing and editing articles in WordPress a whole lot, alongside several other tabs open in Google Chrome. Here’s a quick rundown of this gaming laptop’s performance.īefore getting into the details, I would like to give you a quick idea of what my daily usage looks like. I had to find out how the laptop performed in each of these scenarios, and hence, ran a bunch of tests. The Studio in the moniker suggests that this is also meant for those who want it to be their compact editing powerhouse. The quality of the display and aspect ratio made sure there was no disconnect whatsoever, offering an immersive experience overall.įrom the looks of it, the MSI Stealth 14 Studio A13V is not just targeted at a single group of people. During my day-to-day usage or gaming, it did not feel like a 14-inch compact display. Moreover, the 16:10 aspect ratio of the display makes it look a lot bigger than it actually is, giving you abundant room to work with. The cherry on top is its 240Hz refresh rate that makes every single task, from gaming to even just scrolling through web pages, a satisfying experience. At QHD, with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, the display looks breathtaking. If you are used to IPS LCDs more, you will be taken aback by the MSI Stealth 14 Studio display. A non-heavy gaming laptop that comes with all the bells and whistles of one? BIG yes. However, it is the overall weight distribution and form factor that really outshines everything else. I mean, you could surely drop it a couple of times and be okay (please don’t, just kidding). The kind of build quality you get to see here is decent. Overall, I would say don’t get fooled by the small form factor and size of the laptop. This suggests that there is top-of-the-line weight distribution at play here. The good news is, yes, the MSI Stealth 14 Studio lid opens with just one finger and even goes all the way to 180 degrees. In addition, something that I always have to put to the test (and I’m sure most of you do) is if the laptop lid can be opened with one finger. So, rest assured, you won’t have to use a microfiber cloth to constantly get at those fingerprint smudges. This laptop is far from being a fingerprint magnet. A pretty nifty design feature, I have to say.Īdditionally, I also put MSI’s fingerprint-proof claims to the test and was seriously impressed. In addition, there is also an Afterburner Lighting, as MSI is calling it, integrated into the rear grille that says Stealth. You can see the pink and blue RGB hues at the back on each of the corners, which, in my opinion, look subtle yet stylish.

The design and RGB setup are such that it doesn’t scream “gaming”, allowing you to use it in professional environments as well, without drawing a whole lot of eyeballs toward it. However, MSI used just the right amount of it without going overboard. Of course, there is a touch of RGB here and there. However, if you are someone like me, the MSI Stealth 14 Studio will appeal to you, big time. If you are someone who is into it, that’s great. Personally, I don’t like a whole lot of RGB on my laptop. It is a minimalistic gaming laptop, which I really liked. The MSI Stealth 14 Studio does not feature anything crazy when it comes to design, which is a good thing in my books.

So, from my first impressions to all that I felt by the end of the two weeks, it is all right here. I put this laptop through its paces, pushing it to new extremes each day. I have been using the MSI Stealth 14 Studio for a couple of weeks, thanks to Intel for loaning us the unit.
