Q: Is the rtx 3060 a low wattage chip, or a high wattage? (max-q or max-p)
A: Its a low wattage chip, the specs in msi page says "65W Maximum Graphics", you can check in this link: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Stealth-15M-A11UX/Specification
Q: Will it be possible to add in an extra SSD drive?
A: No, there is only one M.2 PCIe 4.0 slot on the Stealth 15M. It is however possible to replace the supplied SSD with a greater capacity, along with upgrading the RAM but the latter requires a lot of disassembly, so only really recommended for those with the correct tools and knowledge.
A: I contacted MSI and they said the Gen4 lanes are routed to the RTX 3060, only the models with RTX 20 series have Gen4 to SSD. This model 15M021 has 3060 so SSD is Gen 3 to PCH. The 15M010 has Gen4 SSD support to CPU.
Q: How is the fan noise on this?
A: Fan noise is pretty bad and not graceful. whrrrrRRRRRRRrrrrr (stop) whrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRrrrrrRRrrrrrrr (stop). Kind of crazy that people suggest using headphones to ignore it. Maybe for gamers this is okay, but I have a lot of other stuff to do besides gaming. I have found playing any background audio normally drowns it out, but if you need semi-silence while working/studying, it is very loud. For me, this is such a shame for a great laptop like this. Have had mine for about a week. Not sure that I am going to be able to go 2-3 years with this ridiculous fan noise. My previous experience with gaming laptop was the Razer Blade 15. kind of loud (but not like the msi stealth). And the cool thing about the Razer fan is the graceful spin up. If the fans work harder, they gracefully spin up (classy), instead of WHRRRRRRrrrrr stop WHRRRRRR stop whrrrrRRRrrrrrrRRRRrrrr stop Very bummed about this. Seems like such a simple thing to get right. Otherwise, I enjoy the performance.
Q: Does this machine support Windows Hello facial recognition?
A: From the description and specs I don't believe it does.
A: I haven’t had this issue with my msi, but I’ve had other different little issues. Might be worth looking into
A: 16GB (8G*2) DDR4 3200MHz. Both slots are filled.
