Buying call

Buy the Stealth 16 AI if you want high-end gaming in a sleek, sturdy chassis: reviewers liked its fast OLED, satisfying keyboard and trackpad, and battery that lasted 10 hours 49 minutes in one web-browsing test. Skip it if you want the most performance for the money, because cheaper rivals match it. It's expensive, a bit thick for a thin gaming laptop, not quiet, and its ports are awkwardly placed.
