Thinnest SIX CORE Gaming Laptop! – MSI GS65

The MSI GS65 is presented as the thinnest six core gaming laptop in the lineup, focusing on how MSI managed to pack a powerful six core Intel Core i7 H-series CPU and a GTX 1070 with Max-Q into a surprisingly compact chassis. The reviewer highlights the significant design refresh versus the previous generation, noting a sleeker, more premium look with a cleaner blasted finish and toned-down red accents. A major talking point is the near bezel-free display, achieving an 82 percent screen-to-body ratio, with a 15.6 inch 1080p IPS panel calibrated for solid color accuracy and a 144 Hz refresh rate that promises snappy gaming visuals. The GS65 also features a redesigned keyboard, a 10 Gbps USB spec, HDMI 2.0, Thunderbolt 3, and multiple display outputs that support up to three 4K displays, making it highly versatile for both gaming and productivity. While performance is strong, the review notes some thermal throttling under sustained CPU load, with core temperatures spiking around 90 degrees after extended rendering tasks, which tempers the otherwise strong all-around performance. The device remains competitive on price, balancing high-end components with portable form factor, and the reviewer suggests keeping an eye on upcoming competing models to see if they offer cooler thermals and fingerprint resistance before making a purchase.
