Today we"re checking out the top-of-the-line MSI GS75 Stealth 8SG, one of a number of new RTX-powered gaming laptops from MSI. As this beast fits into their Stealth line, it"s designed to be a slim and light portable gaming system, with the GS75 branding indicating it"s their 17-inch model. Previously we reviewed the GS65 and really liked it, so we were definitely keen to check out the larger model equipped with a new GPU.

The GS75 Stealth 8SG model we were sent for testing is the most powerful unit available equipped with an RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU. There are also models available with the RTX 2070 Max-Q and the RTX 2060. Each variant of this laptop with a different GPU is then available with different RAM and storage configurations, in our case we received 32GB of dual-channel memory and a dual 512GB SSD setup in RAID 0.

In terms of CPU performance, all we"re looking for is to see whether the MSI GS75 Stealth performs especially well (or not) compared to the average result from all the Core i7-8750H laptops we"ve tested so far. It does depend on the workload, but the GS75 is a little slower on average, especially in longer workloads like Handbrake and x264 encoding where it"s about 6 percent behind. With that said, it"s a little faster shorter tasks like 7-Zip and MATLAB so this isn"t a bad result overall, it"s just can"t sustain as high performance for as long as some of the beefier laptops we"ve tested.

If you are coming from a quad-core laptop, something using a Core i7-7700HQ for example, you can expect the GS75 to deliver pretty sizable gains: 40% in workloads like x264 encoding, and over 50% in 7-Zip, with a handy 10% improvement in single-threaded tasks as well. Jumping up to six-cores is a good move, especially if you do a lot of multi-threaded work, and it can help alleviate a few bottlenecks in some games.

The GS75 Stealth uses the regular 80W configuration of the RTX 2080 Max-Q, not the faster 90W version, so the data to look at in our GPU review is for the standard configuration. But that data only refers to how this laptop performs in the default Sport performance mode, if you enable the Turbo mode, the GPU gets a 100 MHz factory overclock of sorts, which improves performance over the "standard" RTX 2080 Max-Q configuration.

We"re getting 12 percent more performance from the GS75 than a standard RTX 2070 Max-Q laptop without any factory overclocking. Some games are heavily constrained by the CPU or other hardware, like Hitman 2, while other such as Metro Exodus deliver 17 percent more performance. You"re not getting desktop-like margins here, but low double digit gains from the same cooler design isn"t bad.

How does 27 percent more performance than the GTX 1070 Max-Q sound? That"s a very healthy improvement assisted by the small factory overclock provided by the GS75. We"re not comparing the same price bracket, but we suspect some people with a GTX 1070 Max-Q laptop might be considering spending a bit more cash on their next upgrade.

You"ll also get 18% more performance than an RTX 2060 laptop. This is another GPU that"s available in the MSI GS75, so which GPU is best might come down to the pricing you can get for each variant. The RTX 2080 Max-Q is a decent amount faster.

MSI"s current-generation triple-fan cooling solution is very good, it"s definitely one of the better designs we"ve seen for this sort of portable gaming system. Even when using the overclocked Turbo mode, the GS75 is quieter than your average gaming laptop, at 44.5 dBA. And it does this while keeping the GPU around 75 degrees C, which is cooling performance you"d normally expect from a chunkier laptop like the ROG Strix Scar II, not a slim system like this.

In fact, the GS75 is significantly better it this regard than the GS65 with the GTX 1070 Max-Q, although it is slightly louder, it"s also a larger system so there"s more room for heat dissipation, and the GPU is different. More impressively, it"s quieter and cooler than the Gigabyte Aero 15 X9, which uses the slower RTX 2070 Max-Q. However, this does come at the cost of CPU cooling, which is right at its limit, hitting 91 degrees C under a gaming load.

Looking at storage performance, the GS75 we received with 1TB of SSD space was configured with two Samsung PCIe NVMe drives in RAID 0, so naturally it delivered extremely good sequential speeds. Random performance is at the limit of these drives but is still excellent for a gaming laptop, and it"s safe to say this SSD is much faster than what you need for game loading.

The display is 17.3-inches in size, it packs a 1080p resolution and it has a 144 Hz refresh rate. You don"t get adaptive sync, which is a trade-off to allow better battery life through GPU switching, but the quality of this panel is great and the high refresh rate is a perfect pairing for this GPU that often pushes frame rates above 100 FPS at 1080p with Ultra settings.

Overall the MSI GS75 Stealth 8SG is an excellent portable gaming laptop. There"s not a lot to complain about in regards to the hardware package. We absolutely love the metal chassis, the 15-inch display is very good, it"s cooler and quieter than an average gaming laptop despite the size and powerful hardware inside, and there"s good I/O.

Unfortunately, this hardware comes at a price, and it"s a high one. To get top-end performance in this size, you"re going to need to fork out $2,800, and that"s just for the GS75 with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. For the configuration we reviewed, with a 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM, it"s closer to $3,000.

The value situation is further muddied by Pascal laptops, which admittedly are getting harder to find as stock clears out. Right now you can get a GTX 1070 Max-Q system like the Asus ROG Zephyrus S for around $1,800, which is slightly better value than the RTX 2060 GS75, given the 1070 Max-Q is also slower.

It"s an interesting market, because for regular laptops - meaning, not the slim and light variants we"ve been talking about so far - we wouldn"t recommend a more expensive RTX 2060 laptop over a cheaper GTX 1070 laptop right now. But for slim and light systems, the GTX 1070 Max-Q and RTX 2060 are fairly priced given their performance differences. What is the better option will be down to your budget, though we tend to like a lot the value offered by the RTX 2060 GS75 just because we love this MSI design and its 17 inches for playing games.

Accurate to the T. Unlike gamers, content creators have more stringent requirements for an ideal laptop display. In this article, we will look into several factors that determine an ideal LCD panel for a content creator or workstation laptop, including factors such as pixel density, color gamuts, color accuracy, and more. We take the implementation of LCD displays in high-end MSI content creation laptops as examples to explain the basics. (Sponsored article.)

In our previous article on laptop displays for gamers, we"ve seen some of the important aspects that govern LCD panel choice and performance. This article aims to be an extension of that and will focus on some critical factors that professional users would look into while purchasing a workstation laptop.

Commonly used standards include sRGB, NTSC, and AdobeRGB.Most LCD panels in the market list out the color gamut standards they adhere to and the extent of coverage. Professionals tend to look at the AdobeRGB coverage as it allows for more vivid colors than what sRGB can. There can be a lot of variation in color gamuts, so a standardized system helps to determine if the LCD monitor is displaying the colors it should.

The graph on the right is what is referred to as the xy chromaticity diagram established by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). In the graph, the color perception of the human eye is represented by the inverted U-shaped area and individual color gamut standards are denoted by triangles. The larger the size of each triangle, the wider is the color coverage of the panel for that particular standard. The panel cannot display colors outside the corresponding triangle"s area.

sRGB is the commonly used color gamut standard across LCD monitors, printers, and most digital cameras. However, the overall color range of sRGB is very limited and does not include highly saturated colors. Adobe RGB overcomes this limitation, and panels supporting this color gamut standard can display a much more vivid color profile, especially when considering the greens. The image below illustrates this nicely.

MSI first introduced True Color technology in 2014 and continues to use it across its portfolio. The process starts right from inspecting the panels coming from the factory. Each panel is color calibrated, which includes setting the ideal color temperature, color gamut, and grayscale values. These are then calibrated and adjusted using a color profile suited for the monitor before shipping.

Delta E is a measure of the color difference that can be perceived by a human eye. In general, a Delta E value of 1 implies that two colors can be just about differentiated by the human eye while a Delta E of 0 implies that the colors are mathematically the same. Delta E values less than 2 are imperceptible due to limitations in human eyesight.Those requiring accurate color reproduction look out for the Delta E value that is calibrated at the factory. While content creator laptop displays generally have very low Delta E, depending on the display type, it is also possible to furthercalibrate the display and reduce the Delta E to less than 1.0. LCD panels with lower Delta E values display more accurate colors that are true-to-life as possible.

CalMAN is a popular tool used for color calibration across various industries. CalMAN offers hardware support for most modern LCD panels and is a valuable tool across the production chain right from post production to broadcasting. While MSI"s True Color technology helps in getting a color-accurate display right from the first step of display production, the "CalMAN Verified" branding assures customers in knowing that they are really getting their money"s worth. "CalMAN Verified" displays add an extra layer of assurance for both content creation and consumption. High-end MSI content creation laptops with a 4K panel carry this branding to assure creative pros that they are getting a highly color-accurate display. Whether editing a beautiful landscape photo, color-grading film footage, or even immersive entertainment, MSI laptops with "CalMAN Verified" displays offer a great true-to-life viewing experience.

In this article, we have provided a brief overview into what goes into some of the important criteria concerning selection of LCD panels for content creation notebooks. While you do have specialized monitors for professionals, a color-accurate laptop display is an indispensable tool for those on the go.

We hope this primer on LCD panel selection for content creators was helpful in offering a high-level know-how into this important aspect of laptop purchase. Watch this space for more upcoming laptop 101 articles, including touchpad design and more.

Smooth Display of MSI GS75 Stealth Gaming Laptop the 17.3-inch 240Hz display delivers a high refresh rate for smooth and vibrant gameplay so you do not miss a frame of the game

The MSI GS75 is definitely one of the more intriguing laptops that have been on my shortlist for the past year or so.  To me, I always looked at it as a 17” powerhouse inside a 15” “GS60-like” package.  I had the GS73VR for quite a while and enjoyed it, so I figured I’d like the GS75 just as much or even more.

Well, about a year ago when it came out, the timing wasn’t right I guess and I ended up sticking with the Razer Blade instead.  But MSI was nice enough to loan me a GS75, so I can see what I was missing all this time.

It’s not much different than I saw with the GS65 really.  It’s not a unibody design, but rather has top and bottom panels that are screwed together onto a plastic inner chassis.  It’s probably what keeps the weight down, but it also comes at a cost of sturdiness.

The lid has a perfectly smooth surface and only a modest dragon decal on the upper portion.  I really appreciated this about the GS65 and I still do with the GS75.  The only difference between the two is that this one appears to shine a little more in certain lights.  Overall, it’s far from being too unprofessional and is certainly a huge step up from the glowing logo I’m used to seeing on MSI gaming notebooks.

Overall, I’d have to give the GS75 a “good enough” grade in regards to the design.  I like the way it looks and feels, but I wish the build quality was a little sturdier.  Thicker metals would add more weight and thickness, and the end product would pretty much be the GE75. Having just reviewed the GE75, I’d be a little torn choosing between the two as they both have pros and cons.  If the GE75 looked a little more like the GS75 in terms of aesthetics, I’d hands down say that’s the better choice.

I still stick with my opinion on that one – it did feel different.  Now that I have something to compare it to, I can say without a doubt that those keys felt mushier than what I have here.  The keys on the GS75 are very tactile, actually, and have pretty good travel.

The GS75 has a 17.3-inch IPS panel with FHD resolution and 144 Hz refresh rate. It’s made by Chi Mei, with part number N173HCE-G33.  I was really excited to see this panel, since it’s the same one I had on the GE75, which I loved.

But after taking some readings, I started to question that.  It’s mostly the same, but the maximum brightness and contrast are slightly different.  Upon further investigation, I found out that the panel ID for this model is CMN1760, where as the one I had on the GE75 was CMN175C.  That’s the first time I’ve seen the same model number have different IDs.

The maximum brightness I was able to achieve was 295 nits.  A lot lower than the 365 nits I got on the other panel, but it’s still a respectable level for most occasions.  The contrast level at maximum brightness was 1355:1, showing how deep the blacks are on this panel.

Even with the reduced brightness, it’s still a great panel.  144Hz is just an awesome refresh rate, both for games and normal tasks.  Everything just runs smoother.  The FHD resolution is on the edge of being grainy on a 17” panel, as I can certainly see the pixels when I get up close.  But from normal viewing distances, the images are crisp and the viewing angles are excellent.

This model of the GS75 Stealth comes with an Intel Core i9-9880H, which is the top CPU available on laptops of this class.  It’s an octa-core and tops out at 4.8GHz of boost, which certainly makes a difference compared to the hexa cores that are on all the competitors.  Paired with the CPU are 32GB of RAM a Max-Q version of Nvidia RTX 2080 GPU.

That’s not the case with this model though.  The M.2 slots and Wifi module slot are located on the edges and are flipped, so swapping them can be done just like on any other laptop, by removing the back panel.  The RAM, however, is still on the other side, so if you need to upgrade that, prepare yourself for some work.

The MSI GS75 is available at many retailers, including Amazon.  The review model I have here is a whopping $3400, but keep in mind that this is the highest spec model, with the Core i9 and GTX 2080.

To conclude this article, I’m overall very pleased with the MSI GS75.  As a laptop for productivity purposes, it’s just great, as it’s both portable, powerful and looks somewhat professional (when compared to most other 17” laptops).

I haven’t handled the GX701, but after hearing from Andrei about it, I think it’s safe to assume that the build quality is better on the Asus than it is on the GS75.  It is also definitely better with the Razer Blade Pro 17.  So, if that’s something that’s important to you, you might want to consider those options.

The GS75 is both lighter and smaller than both those models though, so that’s also something to keep in mind.  Really, for all three models, there are a lot of pros and cons to each – so you’ll probably want to give it some deep thought before making a purchase of this magnitude.

It’s a little thicker, but the build quality is much more sturdy.  The only other major negatives are its more gamerish design, while the GS75 is much more subtle in my opinion, and the smaller battery, but that’s compensated by the much nicer speakers.  These aside, I liked the keyboard better on the GS75, but I liked the screen and trackpad better on the GE75.  Confused yet?

At the end of the day, the GS75 is still a very nice laptop.  If you’re the type that typically is very careful with their machines, I think you’ll really like it – provided you can afford it.  There really isn’t any other option this thin with such a powerful CPU/GPU combo.
