MSI GS75 8SG Stealth

Overview

Yes, it ain’t cheap. But the GS75's slim design combined with the potential for the best graphics you can get in a laptop right now makes this thing an ideal machine for gamers or creatives who might take their laptop out of the house now and then. It’ll fit in your bag, and it can play almost any game to the max. And if you’re not ready for that much power right now, the GS75 will be ready and waiting to ray trace your next big game when those settings come to more than just Battlefield V.

MSI's GS75 Stealth is thin, has a crisp display, offers plenty of power, and has decent battery life too. At nearly $3,000 it's not cheap, but given its specs, it's priced accordingly. With nearly identical real-world performance as the slightly more expensive Asus ROG Zephyrus S, the GS75 is a great option if you're looking for an RTX 2080 laptop.
