MSI GS66 Stealth Review (2020) - The SUPER Gaming Laptop! | The Tech Chap 

Hey Chaps! What do you think of the GS66? (also... I meant 20mm, not 20cm thick 😂)

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 !

Another episode of “I want this but I can’t afford it”

My pocket is so deep that i can't reach the money.

Me: breaking in teacchap: wtf dude Me: i am here to experiende 300hz....

Me: "whoaaa" Wallet: "No."

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.

I just like the design of this laptop so much, looks so professional and sleek for a gaming laptop

Would be perfect with at 4900H instead. Much better processor.

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!

My dream laptop that stays a dream. Your great man. Soon you'll receive more than a million subscribers.

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.

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.

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 ..!!!

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!

Gr8 review mate, love when u do more relaxed review that is funny :) keep up with the good work :)

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.

I think I'll recommend this laptop to everybody if MSI ditched those stupid-looking gamery font keyboard on their old laptops.

I'm drooling. Still got my GS65 Stealth, I7 -9750H, RTX 2070, 240 hz screen, 32gb ram. Still a beast in its own right

I love that you shot the video in your kitchen, I can relate to that ❤️

I'm in love with my msi. I just got mine today.

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)

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 :)

Love how I got an ad for it before even watching

Loved the video, great comparison, and i guess i can save some money and get the 2070 max-q super with the i7 10875H

The brightness on other reviews says 315 nits, could you clarify this?

Nice video, could you do a thermal test for the next time?

Is the build quality good on this?would you recomend it over razer blade15? Thanks

I'm pretty sure it's just a 2020 refresh of the MSI gs75, not a gs76.

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.

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 !!!

There's nothing worse then a dim laptop screen. Thanks for the review.

Time to say goodbye to my beloved Kidney. you did well!

This is my second option to buy , my main option is the GE66 Raider with 16gb ram and i7 processor.

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.

I wish you would have spent time on the build quality vs the old.

I per ordered the same model except with a 2070 super max q and I can’t freaking wait

Am I the only one who likes that straight 90 degree super minimal design much MUCH better than the teardrop?!?

The 1660ti with 144hz screen, 16gb ram, 10th gen cpu - for £900....Tom, would you buy it? Thx for a great channel!

After buying this laptop 😍. How long we can use it ? 3-5years freely ? 🤔 Anyone?

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.

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.

A real bummer about the screen brightness...

Thank you for this video! I appreciate that you go over the not-so-obvious characteristics of this laptop.

Have the same model and the hinge is really strong. Not at all the wobble that he is showing

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.

does the $1599 version (i7-10750H+rtx2060) worth at all????as per your view

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.

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

Just been delivered to my porch 😊

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'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

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.

Re opened youtube just to put a like .. really amazing presentation

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!

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...

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’m saving up for this over the summer

What's the point of having a refresh rate display if you'll never get that kind of framerate at the native resolution?

we´re waiting for the AMD Ryzen 9 version with high end nvidia graphics cards

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.

5 years, maybe I'll get em

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.

Another Great One by The Tech Chap! 🏆

I preordered the same one still waiting, but now you have me second guessing

Msi Gs66 Stealth or samaung odyssey 2?

This is the exact model I'm looking at. Thanks for the great video!

been wanting to get a razer blade stealth forever (for that sexy aesthetic) but that battery bulge issue terrifies me. now this gorgeous full sized laptop appears with better specs and similar aesthetics...... hmm..

The MSI 65 stealth 1660Ti is more pretty and expensive looking. I also love the MSI 77 stealth.

Please provide minimum fps not just average. Thanks!

0:36 i was so scared he was going to drop it like bro two hands...

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.

When you were playing games on it were you playing them at max settings and how loud was the laptop?

Why do youtubers always get the highest model available which isn’t at the reach of the majority of people? Why don’t get a basic model the difference is $1.5k more!

I think I'll pass on buying a new gaming laptop until they remove the bezel below where they show of the logo, and I kinda want hdr at 144hz since you can't run most of these games at a steady 240 or 300hz so just give us hdr @144hz that would be a sweet spot.

Nice review bro. Would you pick razer blade or this? How would you compare the cooling?

Brutal! Rip the bottom off while still powered on.... fan still spinning and everything LOL!

Thanks for your Test. No SD Card reader means , its out.

Love ur video dude. Keep it up!

Review of MSI GF75 1660TI Great review keep it up.

4:57 *Tech chap* : Iwash my hands twice a weaks Corona: *😈😈😈*

What do you think about the MSI GS66, Asus Rog Zephyrus M15 or Asus Rog Zephyrus G14?

Your reviews are awesome man. Keep up the good work!

I'm about to start uni next year and just broken my old laptop, would you consider the msi gs66 but the 1700pounds specs one to me tech chaps, if not what other light but good gaming laptop would you consider. Was going to go with buying asus rog strix hero but after watching your vid on msi gs66 made me change my mind as it much cheaper with 10th gen Intel i7 than the 9th on asus. Hope you a good day, looking forward a reply. 🙂

I have this laptop its insane at games

Honestly I don't know what to think of product you have perfectly well reviewed (and thanks for that). But your advices at the end got me lost lol. I'm currently owning the GS65 with i7 8750H and the nvdia 1070 Max Q. Do you guys think it will be a good thing to switch up to the new GS66 with the 2070 Super or if you have other brands equivalant I'm ok with that (as long it's as thin). Knowing that I'm experimenting a little bit of trouble with that one with some not well optmized games which crash after few minutes or framerates drops. If someone can help me it would be nice :) Thanks and y'all stay safe !

I love the stealth series design but idk their brightest display

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.

Nice review, but what do you think about Asus zephyrus g15 and ROG TUF A15 2020 models

It would be awesome to see this go head to head with the i7-10750H RTX 2070 Super Max-Q version to see how much extra performance all that extra money actually buys.

No Amd. End of the review.

Nice review. When are you reviewing laptops with the Ryzen 4000u series? Like the Acer Swift 3? I wonder what kind of gaming performance you can get with them..

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

Great video thank you very much But can you make a video about the zephyrus g14 as well?

tq. however 99.9wh battery with 4 hours of light use is quite dissapointing

Wait, 4hrs of light use? That sounds horrendous for the battery size. Is that just general productivity or light gaming?

Waiting for GS76...

I have my eye on the ge66 with the 2070 super non max q. no reviews on it anywhere yet though.

subscribed! thanks for the thorough review!

what is the price?
