Product Manuals
Q: Is this standard MSI configuration or modified specifically for Best Buy
A: This is not the standard configuration, ignore the other response. The 005 listed by MSI has the 2070 Max-Q but a 512GB SSD, this one from Best Buy has a 1TB SSD. I bought it and it just arrived today, and I was worried the BB listing was wrong, but it does in fact have a 1TB. It also seems to have the 240Hz LCD, not the optional 300Hz MSI offers in the GS66. It's a fantastic machine, so far!
Q: Going to Purdue Engineering in fall. Should I get this 15.6 gs66 Or The 16.3 gs75 ? Thank you
A: West Lafayette native here (Go Boilermakers!) I also plan on buying one of these bad boys soon, as I am about to start Engineering school as well. I am going with the 15 inch GS66 because it will be much easier to carry around VS the 17 inch. If you want to do gaming at your dorm/apartment, buy a separate monitor and keyboard and you can play on that.
A: I agree, this should CLEARLY state RTX 2070 Max-q as there is a big difference between Max-q (less power) and full-powered non-Max-q chips.
A: Amazon always inflates price on most laptops even the g14 is like 1600, also if its on amazon but not sold by them then the seller wants more $$
A: Ignore the other answer, this does have the 1TB listed by Best Buy, not the 512GB listed for the GS66-005 that the MSI site and the PDF the other reply provided. I was worried about it, but laptop came in today and confirmed it is 1TB.
Q: What is the battery life on gaming and normal usage??
A: I've gotten 4 to 5 hours of normal usage, just be sure to turn off the gaming mode and turn on battery saver
A: I don't think so. These seem to be made pretty well. The only things you can upgrade are the RAM and SSD. Everything is as is and non-upgradeable. If you are worried about heat then buy the MSI Raider series. You will sacrifice portability for bigger heat sinks... BTW, fans are loud. Buy a cooling mat.
Q: How is the screen bleed? (compare to gs65 maybe?)
A: The screen bleed is not very noticeable. If you considering this laptop, then I highly recommend watching this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WWJ_TFoN1Y
