Q: ok it says the 12900H processor has 8 cores but according to Intel this processor has 14. Which is 8 efficient cores and 6 performance cores. So why in the specs does it say 8

A: The listing format does not allow for separation between P and E cores. The CPU does indeed have 14 total cores, but the listing allows us to only mention one set of cores.

Q: What are safe products to clean the screen with? Like is Alcohol safe?

A: You can use rubbing alcohol or alcohol based cleaners and a microfiber towel.

Q: Does this have 4K 60Hz external output via HDMI 2.1 or USB-C for desktop app use?

A: The GS66 does support 4K 60Hz. through the HDMI port.

Q: Does this have a mux?

A: I believe so yes, if you look at the MSI software, you are able to change from "hybrid" to "integrated" in the general settings (see screenshot from my device). I believe this is how they list a mux switch in their marketing for some reason if you can't find mention of it it in the specs or anything

Q: what is the gpu wattage

A: It says maximum power is 105 Watts here: https://storage-asset.msi.com/specSheet/us/nb/Stealth%20GS66%2012UGS-025.pdf

Q: What’s the screen brightness?

A: Just got mine today... Looks to be around 300 - 350 Nits. Not to bright but really good.
