MSI has unveiled an upgraded Stealth 15M gaming laptop at its MSIology event at CES 2021. MSI calls the Stealth 15M the world's thinnest gaming laptop. The Stealth 15M is powered by the Core i7-11375H and RTX 3060 Mobile and comes in Carbon Gray and Pure White variants.

So basically a better Stealth 15M (2020), but only slightly with the same flaws as the not widely available Stealth 15M (2020). This is a bit confusing.
Battery life will be mediocre with that 52 Whr cell. :(
The Asus G14 (2020) is of the same form with a 76 Whr battery, which has now been bumped to 90 Whr for the 2021 version !
Is this even an improvement? Yes, clearly the 3060 will be 15-20% faster (right?), but the main benefit of the previous Stealth 15M was that it used a 'U' series cpu that only needed 15w. This resulted in a gaming laptop that was one of the coolest and quietest available. Now that you are putting in a 28w-35w cpu, I highly doubt this version will be cool or quiet anymore.
Might as well go with a better spec'd gaming laptop from a competitor with a bigger battery and better screen for the same price. (and an AMD cpu)
I will give MSI props for making a 1.7 kg gaming laptop. Finally someone is doing it. Their GS Stealth laptops seem to be gaining weight every year.
MSI claims that it's the world's thinnest gaming laptop at 0.63 inches, yet years ago Asus released the GX531 that was barely over 0.5
Oops.
No hdmi 2.1 port. Is this a joke?

I have a Stealth 15m and the CPU never runs at 15w unless you set it to maximum battery saving mode. it runs at 58W PL2 and then sustained 48w all the time, it maintains a 4.3ghz all core turbo almost all the time.

What are the flaws? A GPU that doesn't thermal throttle? A CPU that can maintain max turbo boost all the time?
Tyler, at least on yours you have the option to run it on '15w' mode to keep it near silent. That option is gone now.
That option isn't gone, you can use 1. MSI's dragon center software which controls CPU TDP or you can use Throttlestop both options work
So now that Nvidia is not going to label their mobile 3x series gpus whether it is Max q or Max p, how are we to know which it is in this laptop?
Good to see it has thunderbolt for future egpu potentially.
It will be a max-q in the stealth 15m
