MSI GS66 Stealth 10UH Review

Armed with the latest 16GB RTX 3080 Max-Q GPU and an impressive 300Hz IPS display, we take a look at MSI's latest GS66 Stealth gaming laptop and see if its worth the big price-tag.

+ Clean, simple design + Thin and lightweight + Powerful graphics card + RGB Backlit keyboard + Great overall performance + Offers all USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports with Thunderbolt 3

- Expensive - Lacks SD card reader - RGB LED lighting on keyboard weak - CPU temperatures soar above 90C - Lacks secondary storage drive - Just a 720p webcam

This is the first 2nd Gen. RTX gaming laptop that we’ve had the pleasure of taking a look at and the results are as you would expect, fantastic. Pairing up a 16GB RTX 3080 with a 300Hz IPS panel is a match made in heaven.

MSI GS66 Stealth Review: Hot Stuff - UNBOX PH

Verdict: MSI's GS66 Stealth is thin, light, and incredibly powerful but suffers from high heat when gaming. If you want a low-profile gaming notebook, have enough cash to spare, and don't mind loud fans then you might want to give the MSI GS66 Stealth...

Powerful hardware ; Sleek, metal chassis ; Fast, responsive screen

Not-so-great audio ; Loud fans ; Thermal performance is not great

MSI GS66 Stealth Review: Low Profile, High Temperatures

The MSI GS66 Stealth packs good looks, but it gets a little warm.

Attractive, sleek design ; Strong gaming performance ; 99.9 WHr battery

Runs hot ; Middling productivity performance ; Very loud fans ; Odd function key placement

The MSI GS66 Stealth has the looks of a flagship with strong gaming performance, but it runs hot and loud with so-so productivity power.

MSI GS66 Stealth review: A 300Hz gaming laptop in a crowded field

The GS66 is a solid follow-up to MSI's groundbreaking GS65 Stealth Thin. It's more powerful in every way, it has a blazing fast 300Hz screen and it even has a decent keyboard and touchpad. But it's heavier than before, and it doesn't stand out nearly...

Powerful hardware ; Slim and sturdy case ; Excellent 300Hz screen ; Great keyboard and trackpad

Heavier than before ; Expensive compared to some competition

MSI’s GS66 Stealth almost has what it takes to beat Razer

An excellent gaming laptop in terms of power and features, but it has a few strikes against it

Improved design ; Efficient cooling ; Powerful ; Big trackpad

Keyboard layout needs work ; The aluminum chassis flexes on the bottom ; Lots of bloatware ; Missing an SD card slot

The MSI GS66 Stealth is a powerful gaming laptop that puts forward the best design seen yet from the company. Speaking of design, it’s going straight after Razer’s Blade, and while it comes close, it whiffs on a few big details.

MSI GS66 Stealth Review

Sturdy but portable metal build ; 10th-Gen “Comet Lake-H” CPU and RTX 2080 Super (Max-Q) GPU lead to very high frame rates ; Blistering 300Hz display ; Plenty of ports, including Ethernet and Thunderbolt 3

Outperformed by a competing RTX 2070 Super (Max-Q) rig ; Redesigned look and shape doesn't stand out from the pack ; 512GB of storage is small for gaming, especially at this price

The MSI GS66 Stealth is a well-built and potent high-end gaming laptop, but it has a few shortcomings (especially considering the price of our review configuration) and loses some of the identity of its predecessor.
