Key specs: CPU:3.9-GHz Intel Core i7-8750H | RAM: 16GB | Storage: 512GB SSD | GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q | Display:15.6 inches (1920 x 1080) | Weight: 4. Note, though, that all this performance comes at a cost, both financially and in terms of the heat this laptop produces. Equipped with killer speakers, a 144-Hz display and a ton of ports (including HDMI), the GS65 Stealth Thin is a beast. No matter what you need to run, or what you want to do, with this laptop, its specs mean it'll (likely) be more than up to the task. Its AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS processor packs a punch because it has a maximum speed of 4.6 GHz.

The laptop has a stunning 15.6-inch 2K Quad HD IPS display with a refresh rate of 165Hz. It packs a beefy Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU (which can run any game you throw at it), an intense 3.9-GHz Intel Core i7-8750H processor and 16GB of RAM. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 is another gaming laptop with top-notch specs suitable for video editors. If you plan on running the most graphically intensive programming software there is, you're going to want the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin. This laptop is designed exclusively for the coders who believe that one man (or woman) should have all that power.
