MSI Stealth A16 AI+

The Stealth performs very well for its components, has decent battery life, and is thinner than a traditional gaming laptop, but its positives end there. It has whining fan motor noise, gets warm even in lighter tasks, and its charger is very poorly placed far down the right side. Also, it's not super comfortable to type on, as the keyboard is moved to the left for a numpad but the trackpad is still centered. This makes it difficult to type without your palm actually clicking the trackpad.

If you plan to dock your laptop anyways, and this laptop is offering the best deal, go for it. Otherwise, consider the below alternatives.
