Q: Is this the MSI GE66 Raider 11UH-202 with the Core i9-11980HK and the 3080 with 16 GB of VRAM?

A: Correct, the item you are inquiring about is indeed the GE66 Raider 11UH-202. https://storage-asset.msi.com/specSheet/us/nb/GE66%20Raider%2011UH-202.pdf

Q: Is this laptop's GPU Max-Q? How hot does it run?

A: 30 series laptops no longer use MAX Q or MAX P distinctions. Instead Nvidia has advised to post MAX TDP/TGP numbers of the graphics card themselves. The GE66 11UH-202 is equipped with an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Laptop GPU up to 1635MHz Boost Clock at 130W Maximum Graphics Power with Dynamic Boost.

Q: this gpu is not 165watt ?

A: The GE66 Raider 11UH-202 is equipped with a NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Laptop GPU Up to 1665MHz Boost Clock, 135W Maximum Graphics Power.

Q: What is the TGP for this laptop GE66

A: The GE66 Raider 11UH-202 is equipped with an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Laptop GPU Up to 1665MHz Boost Clock, 135W Maximum Graphics Power with Dynamic Boost.

Q: How easy is it to upgrade the ram to 64gb?

A: It is fairly simple to upgrade the memory for the GE66 Raider. Once removing the back panel, you will have access to both memory slots where you can install two 32Gb sticks that will put you at 64Gbs of memory.

Q: What is the monitor’s response time? The description says it’s refresh is 240 hz which is good for QHD. But it doesn’t list the response which is also helpful in determining the quality of the screen. Also what is the SRBG?

A: The GE66 Raider 11UH-202 you are inquiring comes equipped with a 15.6" QHD, Anti-Glare Wide View Angle 240Hz 2.5ms DCI-P3 100%. Specs for that item can be found here. https://storage-asset.msi.com/specSheet/us/nb/GE66%20Raider%2011UH-202.pdf

Q: Is this laptop supported Advanced Optimus as well as G-Sync?

A: The MSI GE66 11UH-202 does not have Nvidia Optimus or G-Sync. It has a MUX switch that allows for you to switch between the integrated GPU in the CPU or the discrete GPU. The MUX switch can be accessed either within the BIOS or through the use of the MSI software. A restart is required once the change is made in order for the hardware switchover to occur. And sadly, this laptop's display does not support any kind of adaptive refresh rate. However, the external ports will support G-Sync through the DP 1.4 port, or G-SYNC compatible connectivity through the HDMI 2.1 port. Just make sure the graphics drivers are up to date with the most current version.
