Whats Included
- GE66 15.6" 240hz Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - 1TB SSD - 32GB Memory - Black
A: I have the same question and have not been able to find out a definitive answer. In their specs page for this configuration GE66 10UG-039 MSI just say "NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 Laptop GPU". That's the same thing they say for the 3060 and 3080 models of the GE66 and GS66 this year. In previous years, when their laptop was using Max-Q versions, their specs page would say so. But this year I don't find any mention of Max-Q on the specs pages for their 2021 RTX30 series machines. So I don't know if that means everything is using Max-P or their specs are just listed incomplete. I have seen a couple of you tubers and a couple of other retailers mention that some of the MSI models including GE66 are Max-Q but I have not seen any confirmation one way or the other. It's very disappointing that this information does not seem to be consistently available. I'm honestly not sure we will know until we either buy the machine and see, or if a tech reviewer is able to get one first and tell us. Anyway here is MSI's spec page: https://us.msi.com/Laptop/GE66-Raider-10UX/Specification
A: yes
A: This model has a 3070 card which comes with 8GB VRAM. For the other 3000 series cards in other models, the 3060 has 6GB VRAM and the 3080 comes in 8GB and 16GB VRAM variants. Here is MSI's specs page for the 4 variants they are currently offering of the GE66 with 3000 series card. This conficuration sold by Best Buy is GE66 10UG-039 which can be seen on the below page using the arrows to scroll the specifications all the way to the right. https://us.msi.com/Laptop/GE66-Raider-10UX/Specification
A: The LED bar turns off if you dont want to use it. There is no version of this laptop specifically without the led bar. The gs66 might be a better option for you if not wanting led bar
Q: Is this capable of playing VR titles?
A: Yes this is more than capable of playing vr titles
Q: Will this support HDMI 2.1?Would plug in nice to an OLED or big screen if so.
A: I just got this laptop, and I can confirm that the HDMI port is HDMI 2.1. I am able to get 4k 120hz with HDR on through the HDMI port on my LG CX.
A: Yes, it can be upgraded up to 64Gigs but you only have two slots so you would want to purchase 2 32Gig chips. There's also an empty slot to add and additional data space or you can replace the existing hard drive with a larger size.
A: It does not have TB port. But it does have a USB-C Dport 1.4 that I’m driving three external monitors QHD with Kensington dock.
