The MSI Stealth GS77, model 12UHS-040, features an Intel Core i9-12900H processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics. While this configuration hasn’t visited our labs, the in-depth review of the nearly identical 12UHS-083US model (equipped with the less potent Intel Core i7-12700H processor) revealed many improvements over the MSI Stealth GS76, as well as a few unexpected drawbacks, and they should apply to all models in the series. When compared to the Razer Blade 17, the MSI Stealth GS77 also lacks a factory calibrated display, a MUX Switch, and internal NVIDIA G-Sync support. However, the 24% Amazon discount that takes the 12UHS-040 down to US$3,199 should make it more attractive.
While the discount mentioned above applies to a list price of no less than US$4,199 and pushes the price down by a generous amount of US$1,000, the same MSI Stealth GS77 12UHS-040 is available for purchase via the manufacturer’s website with a list price of US$3,499.99. In this case, the discount is lower than 10% (in fact, it’s exactly US$300 off). While Amazon doesn’t offer any bundle options, MSI allows the buyers to acquire additional warranty (US$80 for one year, US$140 for two years), as well as four MSI gaming mice, priced between US$19.99 and US$54.99 (all their prices are also discounted).
In addition to the processor and graphics adapter mentioned earlier, the 17.3-inch MSI Stealth GS77 12UHS-040 features a 4K 120 Hz anti-glare display, 32 GB DDR5-4800 (2 X 16 GB), a single 1 TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, a Dynaudio sound system with six speakers, Cooler Boost 5 with 0.1 mm fan blades, Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and comes with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years I’ve been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
