MSI GS66 Stealth Review – IGN
Gaming laptops seem to be in a constant state of evolution. Balancing thermals, frame rates, and acoustics is no easy task, especially as design trends push these mobile power houses into thinner and lighter form factors. Often, it’s a game of sacrifice to take your game on the go. Will that remain the case now that the RTX 30-Series has made its way into laptops?That’s the question I’m out to answer with today’s review of the MSI GS66 Stealth. It comes equipped with the latest RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics processor and a 1440p (QHD) IPS display that runs at 240Hz. This particular configuration won’t be out until Q2 of this year, but will land near the cutting edge of mobile gaming performance. Let’s take a close look and see what it has to offer.The model I’m reviewing came configured with the following specs:
… - Model: MSI GS66 Stealth 10UH-290US
- Display: 15.6-inch IPS 240Hz at 2,560 x 1,440
