MSI - GS66 10SE 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - 512GB SSD - Black Core

I like the pc so far and don't have many complaints, though the system does come with a fair amount of bloatware unfortunately, MOST of which can be removed. Solid amount of I/O, decent keyboard with custom lighting and the machine is reasonably powerful though the fans do get loud, and in the future I plan to upgrade the hardware such as a second SSD and expand the RAM. It is worth noting that my purchase clearly states that the system comes with windows 10 pro installed but mine is Windows 10 Home. I've been looking around trying to contact Best Buy to ask about this but their live chat doesn't have agents available, there phone line doesn't either, and i don't see anywhere that allows me to send an email or leave a message elsewhere, so if you happen to have issues with your purchase, it may be difficult to contact Best Buy and receive support on their end.

I was looking for a gaming laptop I could also use in the office and the GS66 Stealth is perfect. After 2 different laptop returns (HP Omen, ASUS ROG M15) I'm very happy with my purchase over 2 months later. The GS66 casing has an elite look perfect to use in the office without giving away it is a gaming laptop. The casing is made of metal which gives this laptop a premium feel versus my old GF65 thin all-plastic casing. The one downside of the metal case is that with demanding games it can get very hot above where the CPU/GPU sit. The keyboard itself stays cool in comparison and you always have CoolerBoost through Dragon Center, which puts the fans at max and removes all the heat from this area. One of the main selling points for me in searching for a gaming laptop was the thermals. The fan design, intake and exhaust points were all considerations. The GS66 has 3 fans versus most other laptops which just have two. The extra fan helps move more hot air out of the unit situated between the two rear exhausts. The laptop exhausts run the rear corners of the laptop with air intake drawn underneath. The fans can get loud while gaming, but still aren't loud enough to be heard in the next room when the door is closed. You can also set custom performance levels and fan settings through Dragon Center. When running RDR2 on high settings my thermals are about 80-85 degrees CPU, 69-74 degrees CPU The GS66 comes with USBC, thunderbolt compatibility, ethernet port as well as 3 usb ports and 3mm audio. The keyboard itself takes a minute to get used to as the keys are a bit larger and therefore a little further apart than I'm used too - yet it is still easy to type accurately. In addition they've located the page up/page dn keys on the right side which makes them convienient for games that require them such as Cities Skylines. Unfortenatly it does not come with an SD card port, which I understand since this is marketed as a gaming and not a creator laptop. Upgrading the RAM is easy as the rear is designed as a door, in other words you don't need to remove half the computer case just to get inside. Just 9 screws to pop off. Two 2666mhz RAM slots configurable up to 64gb. I put two 16gb Corsair Vengence in mine, however you could just put a second stock 16gb RAM with the stock 16gb if find the correct one. This is the second MSi I've owned and I'm very pleased with my purchase. Overall an excellent laptop for the professional by day, gamer by night.

Performance for applications and games is night & day compared to an old laptop I was using. I'd expect anything modern would be a lot faster than something back in 2012. Battery life is excellent for my use case. The 99.9Wh battery goes a long way as I can get a whole days worth of battery life in a single charge. My one gripe with this laptop isn't fan noise or temperature. If you are looking at the GS series you should expect high temps and loud fans during high load or gaming sessions. You can only cool so much in something this thin. My one gripe is quality of the body. For this price this should've been a unibody design like the Razer 15. MSI decided to use a cheap feeling plastic trim for the front. Not only is it cheap, its as though it was just an afterthought. When you feel around the laptop your nails get caught on it, very unrefined. I've owned this laptop for barely over a month and all I have done was walk it up and down the stairs and already the edges of the trim is either cracking or already broken off. So now I'm expecting that front trim will completely break off once I start packing this thing and carrying it around. Again, at this price point, its unacceptable. If I could do this again. I'd most likely consider the Razer 15 since it doesn't have that cheap feel like how the GS66 does.

This is first MSI laptop I have. So far there is no problem with it. Nice keyboard( which is I like the most). Fan noise is acceptable. Laptop is not that hot like other even when gaming or doing some video and picture edit. Only one thing I dont like is the laptop doesnt have SD card reader. I need to buy separate card reader. Overall, its a good laptop.

Although it was not my first choice for a laptop (was looking for something cheaper) my friend recommended me this, and following his advise was the best thing I could do! Good for casual gaming, and overall use. Battery life is good, depends on the use it can last for hours. Sound and graphics are awsome, and the system it's easy to handle.

Had the laptop for around two weeks with no problems so far. GPU stressed for around an hour and was getting temperatures between 73-76. Cpu was around 81-84. The screen is the best thing about this laptop along with the keyboard. Will update this review in the future if anything changes.

Very happy, One of the best keyboards I used on a laptop and size and overall appearance are perfect. Great performance!

College students choice for games and school work. So far so good
