In fact, a little nudge would break this experience. At first glance, it would seem like the touchpad breaks the symmetry of the machine, but when you rest your palms on the MSI GS65, you will realize that this was intentional and how while the touchpad being so big, doesn’t get into your typing movement at all. There are ample shortcut keys too and I will elaborate this later in the User Experience section.īelow the keyboard, you will find a very big touchpad. This is a Steelseries per-key RGB keyboard which means there is nothing that you can imagine in RGB configuration that the keyboard cannot deliver. The fonts aren’t the most pleasant looking fonts but over time using it, it slowly sinks with you and becomes acceptable. Just by looking at this, I am already convinced about the cooling under the MSI GS65. This area actually allows the cool air to be sipped into the fan that assists in pushing out the hot air from the rest of the areas. At the top most of this area is a honeycomb designed section that revolves around the concentric designed power button. Moving to the working area of the MSI GS65, things get even more interesting. In case you didn’t notice, there is a silhouette of MSI logo at the bottom of the display which is barely visible, reminding you again that you are carrying a monster that carries the Stealth moniker after all. Right at the top of these slim bezels, MSI still managed to cram in the VGA webcam which I believe is still the best place to have the webcam at. It sits around 4.9mm thickness and gives a total of 82% screen-to-body ratio which is remarkable for a gaming laptop. Opening up the lid, and the first thing that you will notice is the super slim bezels around the display. If you thought you have seen it all, we just began. The MSI GS65 has everything to get you going, whether you are planning to have a gaming session, or want to dive into deep productivity mode. This is followed by the Power socket, a HDMI 2.0 that supports 4K at 60Hz, a Mini-DisplayPort, a Type-C USB 3.1 Gen 2 that supports Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort, and another Type-A USB 3.1 port giving you a total of three conventional USB ports. The other side of the machine spots the similar black and gold vents which by now proves their points that MSI has put pretty substantial opening for the MSI GS65 to push out all that heat that will be developed. A rare sight in today’s gaming machine if you ask me. This is followed by an RJ45 Killer Gigabit LAN port, two Type-A USB 3.1 ports, a dedicated 3.5mm headphone socket and another one for the microphone. On the left side, you will see the similar triangle and trapezium openings that you saw at the back but this time, with gold encasing behind that gives it a fashion statement of its own. No intimidations, humble, subtle and above all, stealth!
This is the view that everyone is getting when you’re sitting at Starbucks. Moving to the back of the MSI GS65, you can see triangle and trapezium cut outs that stands behind the heatsink. This is the first time MSI is using a black and gold scheme for their extreme gaming laptop unlike the usual black, red and silver hues that they use before. Right at the top, centered absolutely is the MSI dragon logo etched in gold. Just a simple, elegant flat piece of Aluminium. Clean and neat are the words to define here.
