From the MSI website:
Dedicated to customer-driven innovation, MSI leverages its remarkable R&D strengths to craft top-notch, well-acclaimed motherboards, graphics cards, notebook PCs and All-in-One PCs. The Overclocking Series is designed for enthusiasts who pursue extreme performance and go after world records. Aimed at fulfilling the needs and expectations toward professional gaming, the MSI GAMING Series receives gamers' unanimous acclaim. Incorporating Military Class components, the Classic Series has an excellent reputation for quality and durability. All these distinctive products have made MSI a forerunner in the middle-range and high-end market. Also adding to the lineup are cloud servers, tailor-made IPCs, intelligent panoramic camera (Panocam), robotic appliances and human-centric vehicle electronics that further demonstrate MSI's strengths and endeavors in consumer, commercial and IOT (Internet of Things) markets.

MSI has come a long way from a once minor player in the world of electronics to the powerhouse they are now in their own right. Formed all the way back in 1986, the company has since managed to expand into nearly every sector of the market. Fueling that rise was the nearly unrivaled attention to brand identity and marketing during their expansion in recent years. This has paved the way for their rise as a leading manufacturer with worldwide recognition of their brand. Graphics cards, motherboards, laptops, all-in-one systems, fully featured desktops, even CPU coolers and fans: all these products tie into the MSI and MSI Gaming brands, allowing them to give all their products a recognizable presence. You could in fact say MSI has been on a roll and shows no signs of slowing down.

Today, I will be looking at their MSI GS73 Stealth Pro 009 laptop. This 17" model features an Intel Kabylake Core i7-7700HQ quad core for number crunching and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti for gaming. When it comes to the screen, it's a 1080p TN panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. Overall, this laptop from MSI is shaping up to be a fairly good all-rounder in terms of size, weight, and specs, with an interesting twist when it comes to the display. Before passing any kind of judgment, though, let's take a closer look.
