Aside from the sleek design and display, there's a lot to unpack about this laptop, including the 8-core processor that can boost up to 4.60GHz for ultimate performance. You'll also get 16GB RAM and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU to enhance your imagery while gaming. 

Fun fact -- I use a GS Stealth as my main professional laptop, and can personally attest to how great this laptop line is. I love being able to carry it on the go, and because of the design, it's not glaringly a gaming laptop. Plus, it can still pack a punch when I need to boot up my games.

For those that might be nervous about a 3060 GPU, the graphics on my Stealth model are beautiful, too, offering detailed picture for AAA games like Death Stranding and the Far Cry franchise. I personally also pair my Stealth with theSteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless gaming headset and a vertical gaming mouse for ultimate gameplay.
