Regardless of size, this brand faithfully delivers some of the best displays, keyboards and audio we've encountered. So is an MSI laptop right for you? To help whittle down your options, we've chosen the best MSI laptops available.

Best Overall

MSI GT80 Titan

It doesn't get much more kickass than this. The massive 17.95 x 13 x 1.9-inch GT80 Titan is the first gaming notebook to feature a mechanical keyboard, which delivers strong feedback and awesome precision. It holds not one but two Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M GPUs with 8GB of VRAM in SLI configuration. If that's not enough, you can remove the top and bottom panels to upgrade parts, making it the most futureproof rig yet.

    MSI GT72S Dominator Pro Dragon Edition

    MSI has outdone itself this with this beautiful beast. Sporting a gorgeous red brushed aluminum lid adorned with a dragon, this laptop is a feast for the eyes. One of the few gaming notebooks outfitted with a desktop-class Nvidia GTX 980 graphics chip, the Dragon is ready and able to support your Oculus Rift or HTC Vive Pre. If that wasn't enough, you get Nvidia's G-Sync technology for buttery-smooth frame rates, an overclockable Intel Core i7 Skylake processor and a pair of blazing fast SSDs for speedy game loads.

    MSI GS70 Stealth Pro

    If you want a 17-inch display for gaming, but don't want the massive bulk that usually comes with it, get the GS70 Stealth Pro. Modeled after a stealth jet fighter, the Stealth Pro weighs in at a laughably light 6 pounds and is only 0.86-inches thick. Despite its slim profile, the laptop can frag with the best of them, thanks to its Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce 870M graphics. To sweeten the pot, MSI includes a gorgeous 1080p display and a comfortable keyboard with customizable lighting.
