MSI - GE66 10SFS 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER - 1TB SSD - Aluminum Black

This is the best laptop in it's price range. Keyboard is clicky with good travel. The fans keep it cool especially with cooler boost on. Battery life seems better than the i5-1065g1 in the laptop I returned that claimed 8.5 hours and was only 4 tops. I would expect over 6 hours with light use and battery saver turned on, just beware that battery saver makes it slow down a lot. The screen is bright and no dead pixels. Backlight bleed is minimal in the bottom corners, nothing to be concerned about. Colors are accurate and 240hz 1080p is great on a 15.6 inch screen. Trackpad is good and clicky. Build quality is very good , aluminum screen lid and keyboard deck. Upgradable ram and extra nvme slot. Per key rgb is fun to play with and set up for games, as well as the led light strip in the front. Very fast GPU, full powered Nvidia RTX 2070 super max-p which allows for overclocking, but it's not needed yet as this handles any game available right now. The temps are great. It's faster than to rtx 2080 max-q so avoid that one. The GPU clocks higher than the standard rtx 2070 laptops out there, so don't believe some of the videos on YouTube that claim it runs the same as the standard rtx 2070. I don't use RTX ray tracing in games, but if you want it for that, you might want to wait for the 3000 series to be available around January 2021. I wanted a super powerful laptop now and this is it. It out preformed my GTX 1080 on my desktop so I have confidence it will be future proof for at least the next 4-6 years. By then, I expect streaming of online gaming to be the replacement and, any laptop will work at that time. If you want a powerful well built machine now, the buy this while they are available. They sell out fast. I first purchased the hp omen with ryzen 7 and 1660ti, the ryzen is more powerful with its 8 cores 16 threads as this has intel i7 with 6 cores 12 threads, but the 1660ti is no match for the RTX 2070 super max-p. Just buy it already.

I am a cybersecurity engineer student and I was looking for a powerful laptop for my last semester of school. I needed a laptop with a strong CPU since I need to run multiple Virtual Machines for software testing and System Penetration. I also needed plenty of Ram to share with my virtual machine and still have my Host OS running smoothly. Thermals on the laptop are surprisingly very good, Before underbolting the CPU 100Mv the CPU was reaching temps of around 70-80c under stress. Which is not bad given you have 2070 Super 115w. After underbolting the CPU Temps hover around 40c-84c pushing the cpu to its max running 2 virtual machines along with the host OS with some tools in the background. While gaming the temperatures managed to stay pretty cool after underbolting. The fans do kick on and they can be kinda loud but, its to be expected with such powerful components. Screen- I am not a big fan of the screen. Coming from a Macbook Pro the screen does not look as sharp or bright. Also, the colors are not as accurate as the macbook. I would rate the screen 6-7 out of 10. But again this is not a creators laptop its a gamers laptop. In the department the screen is responsive and feels buttery smooth! Keyboard and Trackpad- Coming from the Macbook Trackpad. I would say the trackpad on this laptop is 7 or 8. It's not as big as the macbook but, it feels smooth and responsive. It's not a glass trackpad but, its feels very smooth while using it. The keyboard I absolutely love! The keys feel nice to type on. Wish there was a little bit more travel but overall I like it better than the Macbook Pro Magic keyboard on the Macbook Pro! Speakers- They are garbage to be honest. They sound terrible but, since i always have my noise cancelling earphone on, this is not a deal breaker for me. If you're looking for a laptop with great speakers.. Do not buy this rig,, I repeat DO NOT buy this rig, Battery i would say its a solid 5-6 Hours. Which it doesnt sound like its a lot but, considering the components this laptop packs it's actually pretty impressive. ] Wifi6- Superfast! I can get 700Mps download speed on wifi. It also offers a good range since its wifi 6. The new more expensive MacBook doesn't even offer wifi 6. My thoughts- The Build quality of the laptop is not Macbook Like BUT, it feels very solid. No flex while pressing on the keyboard. Very little or no flex at the screen. The laptop is a little bit on the heavy side but, I like it because it feels rogged. If you're looking for a Great Gaming PC that is also a very capable machine to run virtualization software, coding or video edeting(Using a nicer monitor i recommend). This is the laptop. Its a very powerful laptop even though the i7 is not the most powerful out out there but, that is ok because it also doesnt run super hot. I recommend underbolting the machine and disabling turbo mode when no extra performance is needed. You will gain more battery life and the machine will run quieter and cooler. If you can't decide to go with this or a Macbook... Ditch the Macbook overpriced and not very good thermals. This rig is way better!

Since last year I have debated on the correct laptop to purchase for Architecture School and I narrowed it down to Apple, Microsoft and MSI. It made my decision easier by getting some advice from my advisor, online reviews and the programs I would be using. Skeptical at first I strayed away from the gaming pc because I figured it’s only meant to game but I was wrong. I just opened my laptop and started downloading needed programs such as Auto Cad, Revit, Adobe Photoshop and sketch up with ease. I start school in a month and I am super impressed with the speed, durability and compatibility of this gaming laptop. MSI has done a great job for multiple uses with this set up.

Wow! What an impressive 15” beast of a laptop. I have had an ASUS Zephyrus G15 and a Maingear Element 2 before finding what I think to be the perfect gaming laptop to run the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. It has a great aluminum build, amazing SteelSeries keyboard, awesome Sharp 240Hz panel, strong 6 core i7-10705H CPU performance with wonderful thermals when undervolted, 32GB of DDR4 3200 ram that’s running at 2933Mhz, Western Digital SN730 1TB NVMe SSD, and an RTX 2070 Super 115 watt variant. This baby has it all and I can’t wait to see how well she’ll run Flight Simulator!

It’s beautiful. Runs games buttery smooth. It’s a 2070 super, NOT max q, this thing beats the 2080 super max q. 32GB dual channel RAM goodness. Runs relatively cool. Fans aren’t super loud, only when cooler booster is on. Uses an interesting proprietary charger. This thing is pretty future proof for the price. And the 15.6” factor makes it super easy to carry around. This is a great machine with great cooling.

I originally purchased the GS66 stealth for personal use and gaming. The laptop worked really well and looked great but it didn’t perform as well as I hoped it would. So I decided to exchange it for the GE66 and so far the laptop is everything I was hoping it would be! The hardware on the GE66 is perfect for anyone who plans to game on it or even do anything that is resource intensive. The hardware in the laptop is worth the price tag it currently has. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a powerful laptop at a great price. Excellent job MSI for making a great product! The GPU is the 2070 Super MAX-P and performance is exactly what you will get purchasing this!

Exceeded my expectations, always thought msi products were overpriced but definitely changed my mind. Worth every penny, with the beautiful RGB lighting all around. Cooler booster 5 works wonders while gaming paired with a cooling pad it never gets hot or overheats.

I've only had this PC for a little while upon the time of this review but so far I believe this is an excellent system in about every aspect. I owned two different gaming PC's prior to this one, both were very good, and the GE66 manages to be significantly better in every category, which is to be expected. My biggest complaint would be the size. It is a lot smaller than what I was expecting, and due to the size I have to readjust to the keyboard and the screen size is less than ideal when wanting to play the kind of games that I do; but I'm sure this will be most preferred for people who value portability. Aside from that, I am very satisfied with this purchase and certainly recommend it.
