- The MSI GS66 Stealth is the World's First Laptop with an NVIDIA RTX Super Graphics Card & Intel 10th Generation CPU! But is the RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q, i9-10980HK, 300hz Refresh and 99.9Whr Battery enough to justify the price tag? MSI GS66: bit.ly/2yDDIPq

Hey Chaps! What do you think of the GS66? (also... I meant 20mm, not 20cm thick 😂)
I'm definitely gonna order it, but does it throttle? can you undervolt this unit?
cool, can you lower the refresh rate? customizable?
@@domenicotalento7832 cpu throttles by around 14% in benchmarks, GPU only 2.5%. yep you can undervolt and I would recommend it
@@Thetechchap i thought undervolting was locked
The Tech Chap hello can i please
Call you , even via messenger pls.
Thank you
You're gonna be happy about that warm air after you have sold your house to buy this laptop and you are sitting in a MacDonald beside the door in a cold winter night and its snowing outside. That fan will keep you warm !
Lmaoooo
i have another laptop and i stg it becomes my personal heater
My pocket is so deep that i can't reach the money.
Have you reached it yet..
Another episode of “I want this but I can’t afford it”
Christ Tajerian anything worth it is gonna be like that
You'd definitely love socialism..
@@darshithrajendra8947. Germany is socialist and I still can't afford it.
3k for a laptop.... insaneeee
Aegis well it is a highend gaming laptop they normally cost around that much considering that spec
Me: breaking in
teacchap: wtf dude
Me: i am here to experiende 300hz....
Haha.... 😬
@@Thetechchap lmaooo
@@Thetechchap yo i have a question can you upgrade the MSI GS65 Stealth to a 1tb ssd, because im looking for that exact same specs, but with 1tb of storage and it only has 500gb ssd. and the computer has no hhd either
Me: "whoaaa"
Wallet: "No."
My dream laptop that stays a dream.
Your great man. Soon you'll receive more than a million subscribers.
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou ohh the hater one hahaha
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou still looks sexy tho ,, when clean xD
When you realize that laptop cost as much as your tuition for on semester of college
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou then you should tell the company what the best design is.
5 min after upload and I ''love'' the average guy review with all the humor and the jokes( they seem aunthentic and not forced) ... i watch pretty much every tech youtuber and since 2 years ago i started watching '' The Tech Chap'' and all the struggles that he has in compare with other content creators, i enjoy every single video!!! I appreciate the time and effort this guy puts for every video cause we're struggling ourselves with our youtube channel (me and my buddy) and we're two.. He's ''alone'' !!! I wish you grow bigger and bigger every day !!!
p.s : we have the same age !! keep up the good work pal ..!!!
Thanks very kind Mac! Thanks buddy 👊
I just like the design of this laptop so much, looks so professional and sleek for a gaming laptop
Would like to see this with the new AMD CPU's as these seem to be way more efficient in terms of battery life but perform similar or better compared to these Intel 14nm++++++++++++++++++++++++++ cpu's.
Cause intel got lazy, playing football with an empty goalpost
This! I'm tired of the 14nm furnaces. I've owned 3 intel gaming laptops in the past 3 years, and had to carry around a laptop cooling pad just to keep them from severe thermal throttling (2 still throttled). Give me one of these with a 4800H.
Let's see if AMD CPUs can handle an RTX 2080 Super first
@Manoé Stiennon
Yes like the.... oh wait. The highest a Ryzen has managed is an RTX 2060 Max-Q lmao. Laptop manufacturers are foregoing the cheaper Ryzen 4 CPUs because they're a pain to set up with powerful RTX cards
@@RexGalilae Its nvidia thats limiting OEMs to the RTX 2060. Ryzen 4000 beats intel in multi core but is just a few percent behind single core performance
Would be perfect with at 4900H instead. Much better processor.
OculuntO also it use less power so really good for battery
And maybe they would have raised the brightness on the panel with that power savings...
That's doooo trueeeee
Yea but for sum reason AMD only pairs their CPU with lower end GPU.
But sadly it would be capped at a power end gpu
I think I'll recommend this laptop to everybody if MSI ditched those stupid-looking gamery font keyboard on their old laptops.
who cares?
@@MakoMakoMako3 me cares
you know randomfrankp said that on the razer huntsman TE gaming keyboard review
Rajnish Baral font not backlight lol
Because we all judge someone's laptop by looking up close at what tiny font is on their keycaps.
I love that you shot the video in your kitchen, I can relate to that ❤️
Gr8 review mate, love when u do more relaxed review that is funny :) keep up with the good work :)
Thanks!!
2:04 I think the display in yours might be a dud 🤔 Dave 2D just uploaded a review of the same laptop with the same FHD 300hz display and measured it at over 300 nits.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Really curious to know what the deal with this is.
Yess i watched this video nd thaught it has such a low nits display. But dave mathew nd many other youtubers measured it at 319 nits
Yea I noticed the same thing. Dave didn't show the spyder results. The panel is not a true ips display. But a really good calibrated TN I believe.
Steward Appiagyei dave had it sent from msi
@@mkgriff1492 I think it is a true IPS display, it's just that only certain manufacturers can call it IPS, because a particular company owns the rights to that name. I'm 99% positive it's not a TN panel.
Had this laptop for a month now and I absolutely love it, it just runs anything you throw at it. Well there a downside or caveat call it whatever you like - it tends to get loud as hell, it's like you are on plane when you remove the headphones another this which is just beyond awful and even this is a very soft description - the sound stereo speakers on this laptop are the worst, I mean its not possible to listen to basically anything... Well if both of the things are important for you, probably not the best laptop to buy, for me tho, since neither of these aspects play a big role it''s more then OK, and with a proper headset you can't hear the fan noise and for the bad sound quality of the speakers I use external speakers only... All the rest - well it's the top range gaming laptop after all, love the aluminum body and the keyboard is also excellent/ Hope that my review will help for those who are now in market for a new high-end gamin laptop.
I’m using a GS73 from 2017 with a 6700HQ and a GTX 1060 (full fat) and I’m still very happy with it. It’ll easily last me another 2 years. I still get 60 FPS in almost all games at 1080p with everything maxed out. And the 120hz screen is great for CS Go and just general everyday use. Great stuff from MSI!
Got an instant sub due to how down to earth your channel feels and how your performance actually seems like it is representative of real world performance, I have no idea how D2D got 150fps in overwatch with the 2018 gs65 on ultra mine barely reaches that with toned down high settings. He somehow managed to get 236 in overwatch as well while you got 142 on an upgraded spec?!? It seems fishy but keep up the great work!
I'm drooling. Still got my GS65 Stealth, I7 -9750H, RTX 2070, 240 hz screen, 32gb ram. Still a beast in its own right
For my new laptop for 2020 I'm either going to get the ASUS TUF A15 with a Ryzen 9 or a MSI GS66. I'd probably get an MSI GS66 after seeing this review as I had an MSI before and I think this gaming laptop will be better for me as I have a desktop with an RTX 2070 so I'd get the MSI GS66 with the RTX 2060.
Love how I got an ad for it before even watching
Hi Tom, I bought acer predator helios 500, 2 years now, 1070gtx, i7 8th gen. Ssd, HDD, less than 1.5k£. And it's still doing a job :)
That sounds good until it can't even run an hour off of the battery and is like 3 times thicker than this laptop.
Max F. you are right about that :))
Loved the video, great comparison, and i guess i can save some money and get the 2070 max-q super with the i7 10875H
Wanted to buy the Gs65 but it's known to have fan issues. How about this one? I wonder after using it for few months, how many fan complaints there will be (like is it still present or solved)
The GS66 with a new 2070 Super Max-Q, Ryzen 7 4800HS and 32 gb ram.... ugh that would of been so so sweet. Too bad AMD is getting shafted this year.
ys it would be great and affordable and run cooler and be more powerful
Rob Mel yea that’s why no manufacturers are even trying to support AMD with higher GPU because they aren’t even sure the results will be better. I just don’t get why none of them even attempted to make at least one rig with those paired together
@@NotLikeUss I agree something strange going on there
There's nothing worse then a dim laptop screen. Thanks for the review.
I usually watch your mobile reviews and I like it. It's the first time I watch a laptop review, and to be honest, you nailed it! Keep going, amazing and full detailed review
I'm in love with my msi. I just got mine today.
Time to say goodbye to my beloved Kidney. you did well!
Abdul Rahman Malik lol
Re opened youtube just to put a like .. really amazing presentation
Aw thanks man!
A weird question but how long do you expect it to "live" my parents think its fine if laptops die after 3 years so they've made me think that higher graphics / heat will destroy the laptop in that time.
My laptop still refuses to die after 7 years ... All the hardwares were the same as 7 years ago, I just popped in an SSD for boot OS @_@
the moment you start seeing performance dips is the time to open it up and do some thermal work on it.
The brightness on other reviews says 315 nits, could you clarify this?
Thank you for this video! I appreciate that you go over the not-so-obvious characteristics of this laptop.
I pre-ordered the RTX 2060 version and am super pumped to get it. I do agree that the gold trim on the last generation looked better than all black though.
How much did you pay for it and have you still got it ?
I'm thinking of buying the one with rtx 3070ti .
@@krazykillar4794 I think I paid $1300 for it. I did customize it a bit and upgraded the hard drive and ram before purchase. I still own it and game on it regularly. I haven’t had any issues since I bought it.
Me: Wow that looks cool
The price: Imma 'bout to ruin this boy's whole career
This is the exact model I'm looking at. Thanks for the great video!
Am I the only one who likes that straight 90 degree super minimal design much MUCH better than the teardrop?!?
Is the build quality good on this?would you recomend it over razer blade15?
Thanks
Your reviews are awesome man. Keep up the good work!
Nice video, could you do a thermal test for the next time?
The GS75 still looks sexier sitting next to it haha. I wish the GS75 had a 4K oled screen and a 99.9Whr battery, and finally beastly top firing speakers. The GS75 is an almost perfect product it hurts.
4:57
*Tech chap* : Iwash my hands twice a weaks
Corona: *😈😈😈*
1:26 so you tell the ladies that this is 20 centimetres, huh? ;)
I'm waiting for the right AMD laptop for many years now........still waiting.
Every laptop has a con that holds me from buying one and it basically means that the laptop market is a dirty business market
Agree that g15, g14 and A15 .it really make you wonder that maybe intel money is involved in this?
@@MrGufta Most definitely
Asus G14 14” is pretty good bang for your buck. Around $1450 and great overall specs and very portable.
Every market gets dirty.
Intel got AMD by the balls.
I dunno man, I like having warm exhaust blowing to my hand especially when I'm using laptop in the office where the air conditioning is set to its lowest. Warm laptop and warm drink=best working setup ever
Love ur video dude. Keep it up!
I got this gaming laptop.. and holy shit it's a BEAST! Although pricey it's so worth it for Cyberpunk, or whatever demanding game you throw at it. Well worth my money!
Do you still enjoy it? I just bought one and the reviews scare me.
I'm pretty sure it's just a 2020 refresh of the MSI gs75, not a gs76.
You might be right!
@@Thetechchap Wait you wash your hands twice a WEEK??? 4:56
I per ordered the same model except with a 2070 super max q and I can’t freaking wait
Good choice!
The Tech Chap Thanks! I have heard stories of raid 0 not working on some laptops where the two slots share the same 4 pcie lanes instead of 8 total (4 for each slot). Do you know if raid 0 works correctly on this one?
subscribed! thanks for the thorough review!
0:36 i was so scared he was going to drop it like bro two hands...
Hopefully the creator edition of this has a full size SD card slot. Maybe they can pull it off at a better price than Gigabyte. Now, my need for a mobile editing computer has increased.
Now I just have to wait 2 years to buy an entry level laptop with these specs for under 1000 usd. AMD 5800 HS, RTX 2650 ti.
When they're teasing this laptop , I'm like really into it. But , the Speaker is really disappointing , which i believe most people do use speakers more thn headphone(headphone normally more on smartphone?) And also, the screen option... I hope there's a 144hz displays option at least u know , to get more juice and since it's pairing to 99.99whr battery. Lastly, I REALLY HOPE TJIS HAS A RYZEN 9 VERSION!!!ESPECIALLY WHEN I SAW THE BATTERY PERFORMANCE RYZEN CAN DO !!!
we´re waiting for the AMD Ryzen 9 version with high end nvidia graphics cards
You'll be waiting a long time I'm sure.
@Twillight15 pretty much the other way around. AMD has the access to low to mid end gpu with their radeon rx series. If NVIDIA wants an absolute win there is no way AMD can compete against their super gpus
Shit, let me know when that happens. AMD is getting shafted...again. Nvidia & intel trying to snuff AMD out the game.
always love your video
This is my second option to buy , my main option is the GE66 Raider with 16gb ram and i7 processor.
Another Great One by The Tech Chap! 🏆
No Amd. End of the review.
@Twillight15 not so sure thats true. Where did you heard this?
@Twillight15 not sure that's the reason
What is amd?
@@gixi430 haha Joking?
Great review! Thanks :) Good looking laptop !
I’m here one of the people that can’t afford it but happy to watch it.
I very much prefer the gold accent of the previous model as well. Would have come dangerously close to me purchasing this if it did have the gold accents. I think I'm going to have to wait another year or so to see more laptops start using the AMD chips
Review of MSI GF75 1660TI
Great review keep it up.
I wish you would have spent time on the build quality vs the old.
If only it had the new AMD CPU...
Not really relevant right now as all laptops with those new AMD processors have low TDP GPU's and still struggle with thermals 😂
@@JackBWakeham Have you seen the video from Linus where the 35W Ryzen keeps up with the 120W i-DONTCARE?
@@konstantinliebich9427 Literally not talking about CPU's, new Ryzen CPU's win. But as a package, Intel is still winning with the new Super GPU's and even with the 2060 they run better than the 2060 in Ryzen machines due to the TDP.
yeah
I’m saving up for this over the summer
Just been delivered to my porch 😊
A real bummer about the screen brightness...
I'd say if you don't undervolt and play with the ghz, its a pretty bad laptop, but if you know how to modify your components, its the best
every new video, I like this channel more and more.
What's the point of having a refresh rate display if you'll never get that kind of framerate at the native resolution?
Maruf Bepary to say the have it
5 years, maybe I'll get em
does the $1599 version (i7-10750H+rtx2060) worth at all????as per your view
What's the point of the 300hz refresh rate? 240Hz was already A LOT for a gaming laptop. What they need to put in my opinion is Sharp's IGZO panel on these MSI laptops. Better resolution, speed, and pixel density with lower power consumption! right?
I preordered the same one still waiting, but now you have me second guessing
I ordered the 2070S and I'm also second guessing...
Why not wait for macbook pro 14inch
In Spain they have announced the GS75 with the i9-10980hk but not a GS76. It's a shame. The chassis of the GS66 is better than that of the GS75 but many users want 17.3 inches.
not bad, i have the ASUS ROG G703GXR i9-9800HK w/64GB RAM, OS on 1TB in RAID 0, RTX 2800/full, Samsung 970 EVO plus 2TB m.2, Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SSD...undervolted 120 ......any who, great review...
The 1660ti with 144hz screen, 16gb ram, 10th gen cpu - for £900....Tom, would you buy it?
Thx for a great channel!
Brutal! Rip the bottom off while still powered on.... fan still spinning and everything LOL!
Zephyrus G14 all the way, battery life and price based. I do like the looks of this one though.
Have the same model and the hinge is really strong. Not at all the wobble that he is showing
After buying this laptop 😍. How long we can use it ? 3-5years freely ? 🤔 Anyone?
Hi I'm new to this channal and I love your vids too
I've been waiting too long for this computer too. Almost perfect, but I'm still hesitant to buy. The constant 95+ Celsius is a joke on the CPU during heavy tasks. Other than the temperature and the superloud fans it's good, but I will probably not buy it because of those reasons.
Agreed. I bought it because I need a PC upgrade. Overall, I think it's going to be really good. However, I'm immediately repasting the CPU and GPU, adding Fujipoly throughout the case, and undervolting. I'm hoping that combination will bring down temps, but it's just something that all laptops with this high-end hardware will suffer from...
@@CosmicApe you can't undervolt gen10 cpus
and i don't know how you already bought it, it should only be available for purchase next week, youtubers got an early review sample.
@@sergiusprintar5491 im sure he pre-ordered , hasn't used it yet, since he wrote "it's going to be..."
"I wash my hands at least twice a week" definitely filmed pre covid!
Great video thank you very much
But can you make a video about the zephyrus g14 as well?
Mind: I'm so getting this
Wallet: hold the fuck up son
When you were playing games on it were you playing them at max settings and how loud was the laptop?
The MSI 65 stealth 1660Ti is more pretty and expensive looking. I also love the MSI 77 stealth.
They actually kept the 99 watt just to make it carry able on a plane, nice to know.
At the end there around 10:15 you say it's the world's first laptop to come with the 10th gen processors. I'm curious about the performance and thermal comparisons to the 2020 refreshed models for Aorus, and the Razer Blade of the same caliber. There are many competitors this season for 10th gen gaming laptops.
Need to buy these type of gaming laptops just to get the graphics card, then dock it and boom use it as your main PC lol
Dream configuration
Also dream prices :))
all my 3 gaming MSI laptops survived approximately 2 and half years and then, all stared having problems with electricity, when I started gaming, they all switched off, crappy notebooks, never more this brand, gaming notebooks became webrowsers 😂
I need this as my travel and gaming laptop.
Thanks for your Test. No SD Card reader means , its out.
Who needs 300hz on a laptop?
Cool video by the way
I have the 240hz model which is fine
I bought the GE66 and traded it in for the GS66 I was unhappy with the complete plastic design of the GE66 while the GS66 has more of a metal Sleek design. I should also mention that the GE66 does not support Windows hello though the GS66 has a better sound quality and is much louder than the GE66. So if you end up deciding between which one to buy I would say go for the GS66 over the GE66.
20 cm thick?
Man thats a thick laptop!
How can they release something so expensive with such a low nit count? I haven’t seen anyone else bring that issue up, and I do believe that is a big issue for a laptop of this caliber.
180 is not the official nit count. I dont know what settings he is on when he measured it, but I promise you the screen has a much higher nit count than 180. I read somewhere that it is 310, although I don't remember exactly where from.
