    MSI GS65 Stealth THIN-051 15.6" 144Hz 7ms Ultra Thin Gaming Laptop GTX 1060 6G, i7-8750H 6 Core, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, RGB KB VR Ready, Metal, Black w/ Gold Diamond Cut, Win 10 Home 64bit

    • Although there are few upgrades you can perform on this machine RAM + Hard Drive are 2 that become significantly more annoying to perform due to the upside down orientation of the motherboard
    • The only con I have so far is what it takes to add another hard drive or more RAM but at least it's still an option unlike other thin laptops
    • It has a second M.2 hard drive slot, but to access it you have to disassemble literally everything (I had to laugh when the teardown video showed how to take out the wifi card in order to read the hard drive slot)
    • So I instead bought an external hard drive with 4TB for $80
    • The only issue is the small SSD, but that is easily solved by using an external hard drive.
    • Highly recommend doing a clean install of windows to unify the hard drive partitions and remove some of the built in software
    • I will edit my review if I can figure out how to change the hard drive partitions, or upgrade the SSD.Throttling
    • I made the mistake of only getting a 256 gig hard drive, and I almost filled it up immediately (Dang it Destiny 2, why you gotta be 60 gigs)
    • I ordered the one with the smaller hard drive as I already had plans on swapping existing SSD's into the unit that were larger and performed better
    • I upgraded the 16 gb ram that came with it to 32 gb and added a 1tb SSD in the second hard drive slot
    • Just wish the Hard drive space was bigger.
    • encountered.id also reccomened getting an external ssd for games as there isnt a ton of hard drive space. changing the hard drive isnt easy
    • I made the mistake of only getting a 256 gig hard drive, and I almost filled it up
    • so one must remove the motherboard from the laptop in order to install/change the ram or the hard drive
    • It has a second M.2 hard drive slot, but to access it you have to disassemble literally everything
