A: I've been looking all over for this, and the best I could find is this notebook check article, which says it will probably 60-70 watt, which isn't great. I mean it has to be $400 cheaper for some reason. https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-new-MSI-GF65-Thin-will-rely-on-the-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3060-Max-Q-and-the-Core-i7-10750H.513804.0.html
A: On Msi wibsite they say it is a -''8GB (8G*1) DDR4 3200MHz''-
Q: How many RAM slots? Also how many M.2 2280 SSD slots?
A: MSI's specs page doesn't explicitly answer either question, although it's clear that there are at least two RAM slots (this model comes with one slot filled, and one slot empty). Based on info from other sites, it seems there is at least a second M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD slot. So based on that evidence, there's probably 2 slots for RAM and 2 slots for drives.
Q: what i5 is in the laptop (like i5 10900 or something)
A: It says a I-5 10200H.
Q: Does this have Red keyboard backlighting or are the keys actually RED .
A: According to MSI's specs page, the keyboard is a "Steel Series per-Key RGB with Anti-Ghost key+ silver lining." This seems to indicate that red is an optional color.
A: Pretty much anything at 60fps+ at 1080p
A: Nvidia did away with the "Q" in the 30 series. Manufacturers no longer have to list any specification on their 30 series cards. This means you have to manually look up the voltage/TGP for every single laptop. Its REALLY crappy. The only thing I could find on this is the notebookcheck article, which lists it at 70 watts which isn't great. Most of the more expensive models are around 110. https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-new-MSI-GF65-Thin-will-rely-on-the-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3060-Max-Q-and-the-Core-i7-10750H.513804.0.html
Q: Does this laptop run really smoothly with very good quality games?
A: It will handle most games well at higher settings.
