MSI GS66 Stealth Review 

MKBHD: So I’ve had this for 3 weeks now... Dave2D: So I’ve had this laptop for 2 months now...

Welcome to "We can't afford but we still love watching it"

Hey Dave, when you say “there are other offerings at the same price point and product class that are better”, it would be great for us watching, (and for your watch time) if you could provide links to your reviews of some of those other offerings. If not that, just giving a little list would be helpful too.

I’ve been using the original G65 Stealth for two years for 3D rendering and video work and it’s been an incredible powerhouse while on the go. Glad to see them improving its shortcomings over the years. Great video!

Are we finally seeing the death of the crappy juvenile "gamer" style laptop?

4:53 Dave was about to say: "This is super easy" but he took it back real quick

Everyone reviewing iPhone SE, but Dave knows what his audience wants!

"counter strike if you still play that " that cut deep man........... its still the one of the most played game on the planet.

Just ordered this model in 2070 Max-Q and 240hz. Never had a gaming laptop so this is my first. I can’t wait!

Hey dave can you make a tier list of thin and light gaming laptops you've reviewed? Like a top 10 maybe? Cause i know you'd take a lot of factors into consideration.

5:47 the boy finally said it

I believe we will get Ryzen 9 + RTX 2070 laptop sometime this year, and it will be the ultimate productivity machine.

I had this one pre-ordered. But I cancelled my pre-order and ended up going with the Asus Zephyrus G14. The keyboard on the G14 is awesome.

Love when u mentioned about the deflect, most of other RU-vidr doesn't

Question... dosnt the 240hz version also have the same specs as far as the rtx2070maxq and the 3ms response time?? Cant u still enjoy buttery smooth gameplay.. or is it really worth going a model up to the 32ram, 300hz panel with the 2070 super

Thought Dave's about to rage quit while talking about the speakers.

Hey dave, we would really love a 'best around a $1000 laptops so far' video🙏🥺

If Darth Sidious could have a laptop this would be it. Execute Order GS66!

that's so sad for a company to almost hide it's logo for the users to like it's products. And then there's apple

Who else watches Dave 2D even though they have no intention of buying any of the stuff he reviews?

MSI engineers: We are going all stealth this year! Blue USB port: Hold my beer!

Dave2D: "Now build quality. Now here I have to go a little in depth." That's why I ♥️ you Dave. Build quality is one the most important aspect and many people ignore that while buying and go straight for the features.

I think for these gaming laptop reviews, you should start considering their alternative use as a 3d graphics professional workhorse as well. I have been using my GS65 for 3d rendering and VFX work for years now and it is such a better price than the "workstation" grade tech out there. Seeing some benchmarks for C4d or blender mixed into these reviews would be awesome!

Actually u can undervolt it. Just gotta tweak some settings in the advanced bios. Jarred's tech posted a video about it.

"At the time a lot company out there is still making thicc boi gaming laptop" (Looking at the 17 inch MSI GT76) "Hush, you are thin and light to me, don't think about it"

Finally some MSI praise. I feel like they always get overlooked, for other brands.

Every tech youtuber today : iPhone se Dave: MSI GS66

Design team: how stealth do you want? Marketing: *Y E S*

Need more MSI laptops on this channel.

Is there a review on the new msi ge66 raider from Dave lee ???

When are you going to review the Zephyrus G15

MKBHD : I have been using this for about a week.... *Everybody gangster until ....* Dave : I had this for about 2 months......

Dave: "So I've been using this for 2 months now." MKBHD: _The war is on!_ 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you so much for the review! I just bought one yesterday and wanted to see a review before it arrived, you’ve earned yourself a sub and like my friend

Dave : The webcam support windows Hello, you can log in using your face biometric. also Dave : Became a Ninja

Man I want to be so hyped for this laptop but the Ryzen systems just destroy them by such a large margin that I can't :/

Me: “awh man I can’t affor-“ Stimulus Check x2: *hey*

Does anyone else also want to see how this guy keeps all those laptops😅😅

I think the plastic part is where the antenna is, metal blocks signals

Love coming here to see new laptops I probably can't afford. Oh well, I guess a boy can dream😁 keep giving us wonderful review dave👍🏽

4:38 When the theif is candian so he rings your doorbell instead

i’ve been waiting for this review

8:34 I literally thought that was my grandpa's alarm, watching this at 4 am.

One day, I will have this laptop.

the macbook 16 inch have the same battery size

Dave, when I first messed around with last year's model I felt like whenever I rested my palms on the deck the trackpad always clicked. Did this happen to you when testing out this model? I wanted to get last years but the click was so annoying I felt that I couldn't deal with it long term. Thanks! Great video!

Dave: GS66 Review "So expensive, I don't recommend it" (1600$) Also Dave: The Razer Blade 15" Advanced Mercury White is my daily driver. (2650$)

I feel like Laptops without an AMD cpu are boring at the moment. Because power efficiency with AMD is just better.

I think that gaming laptops probably have 2-sided speakers for FPS games so that you can hear where the locations of other players are. And its easier for them to code it that way instead of splitting a single speaker.

I love this laptop I got mine a month ago and it kicks ass. Super sturdy well built machine. Good job msi.

4:38 When Dave becomes David.

I'm liking what I see so far from MSI. I do kinda miss the number pad that they used to have on even their 15" laptops, but I get that not a lot of people use it. Hope you get to review the GE66 Raider also!

So early here for the first time.... Love your channel ♥️

Hey Dave which one should so decide on: MSI GS66 or the Asus Zephyrus G15? Both for gaming of course( around or under $1500) & maybe some video editing here and there

Hello, tell me whats wrong with my msi gs 66 stealth, sometimes my when I play game dying light it starts getting blurry and a bit slower :/

Got the top end one. Best Laptop I’ve ever put my hands on.

As somebody shopping for a product like this, I wish that he had mentioned some of the competing products in his review so that I could research them as well.

This review has me second guessing getting this :( still cant decide whats the best laptop i can get for gaming around 1600 or under. Ill keep researching. really love the videos. Glad i stumbled across these been binge watching ur stuff the last few days.

honestly im sold on this laptop just by its looks alone, walking into class with this thing in a sea of macbooks is such a flex , such an egoboost. So glad my local memory express has this available rn.

'Counterstrike if u still play that' it has currently the most online players for weeks on steam it's dominating rn my man

But... Where are the Ryzen laptop reviews? Those are the relevant ones

7:30 ouch!! And here I am looking for laptops only for CSGO.

I'm especially interested when you mention options that are similarly spec'ed with "bettery build and pricing." What's your favorite example right now?

Help me. I am a new graphic learner. And i want to a laptop for making animation video. Using: maya, blander, premier pro, after effect, others... Can i bye this? Or which will be so so good under $1700???

my laptop temp rises up to 90 degrees Celcius when I play without room airconditioning ON, is it bad for my device? the model is ASUS ROG GL502 VMK, 6gb GTX1060 version. Is it normal for the laptop to go up to 90 degrees?

Me: This is so cool I have to buy thi- My wallet: I'm gonna have to stop you right there

Dave: "You will get 300 fps, if you still play csgo" Me: hello darkness my old friend here i am with 60 fps again.

I just can’t find a laptop that I absolutely love. I really want the A15 but the display makes me want to cry.

I had the g65 stealth and the CPU fan died. Apparently in research it is a common problem with this laptop model. Never again MSI even had problems with Mobos in the past.

I love the fact you review speakers. For me my next purchase should have best speakers As a media device away from home

"Premium thin and light gaming laptop is going to be expensive" AMD : "Hold my beer"

Hey! Thanks for reviewing the GS66! I had the GS65 and it was a blast, seeing that the design has been tone down a bit is a big plus for me! I have an unrelated question though: What is the mouse that you are using at 7:08? I'm looking for a Wireless Mouse (I play League & Valorant mostly) it seems to me that it looks like a Glorious Mouse but I could be mistaken.

i don't recommend buying msi laptop I've had 4 msi laptops till now including the last years msi gs65 stealth thin and all of them had same issues 1) They heat up alot. 2) Weird noises coming from fan after 3-6 months (failed bearing). 3) Steelseries keyboard lights stopped working working on 25% of buttons(only specific colors for each key). 4) Battery degradation is very rapid.(i'm getting half the battery life after a year)

I ordered mine and I'm receiving it tomorrow. But I got quite a bit worried when I saw how easily it was being scratched by using nails. Now I'm worried

Does this laptop support eGPU? if so, i have an aorus gtx 1080 gaming box. If I plugged this in, would i be able to use the GPU inside the laptop, as well as the eGPU for more gaming power?

Intel chips have survived for the last couple years off people being able to undervolt their faulty designs to get any performance out of them. If they take that away at the same time that AMD is finally playing in the big league with mobile processors, I can't see a single valid reason to not buy Ryzen.

When he said "$1,600" I was like "Oh, well that's a million times better than when Razer thought they had made the Gaming God of laptops (Razer Blade Pro 17--2017-18) and priced the thing at $4,000" It was less than mediocre when compared to other laptops that were higher-spec'ed, with price tags that were $2,000-$3,000 less. This MSI laptop gets you a 10th gen Intel CPU and an RTX 2070 Max Q for that price??? I'd pay it, and I'm cheap, waited to get my 1060 6GB and i7-8750H when it was not only on sale but also refurbished, so I only paid like $970. That is not a premium price tag, you're definitely getting what you pay for, and then some.

If i have to buy a laptop, this is my goto guy. Idk, I feel like hes a really trustworthy person.. Says everything u need to know.

Please reply this question brother Will Chinese Smartphones include best mi gets android Updates in future ?? in this situation because K30 Pro , K30 Pro Zoom Edition maybe launch in this year or maybe in next mnth ,already one company wont get updates anymore so is it possible to happen all of these chinese smartphones ?????????? Please answer this ques it could be usefull for everyone

Right at the 2.47 you show part of the front corner of the chasis. I have been selling MSI laptops for over 10 years and there is so way in hell a retailer would get away with selling that unit as it is. If a unit turned up in that condition it would be unsellable purely from a cosmetic standpoint. That actually looks like a manufacturing flaw or someone has intentionally done it. This isn't a cheap laptop esp in Australia where they cost over $5000 dollars.

i love when he doesnt cut the vidéo in talking 💙

I think you can actually enable undervolting on this laptop through an option in the advanced BIOS.

Dave, you mentioned similar devices at this price point or even cheaper, could you give us your list and even rank them if possible? Also, thoughts on the current and upcoming Eluktronics (Covert Gamer) machines?

Just gotta love the emphasis of big at 5:05

dear MSI: 1)put the ports in the rear 2)replace the horrible keyboard font with something clear. D looks like O. 3)put AMD Ryzen 4000 series APU+fast GPUs 4)provide 144hz IPS Full HD monitor. keep the price around 1k. we will buy it.♥️😎

"The one game I would say (that can hit 300fps) is like Counter-Strike, IF YOU STILL PLAY THAT" i don't know why, but that hurt a bit lol.

GS66: The Nail Cuticle Remover Laptop

4:37 Windows Hello: mission failed we'll get em next time.

I'm typically super hesitant about MSI, and was especially hesitant about 10th Gen vs AMD...but I just picked one of these up for 300 off at $1500 flat, 10th Gen 17, 2070 MQ (admittedly not sure if it's a Super or not), 16gb RAM, and a 1tb SSD with the 1080/240hz display, and it's definitely worth that price. The only thing that I saw that was better, was the brand new ROG with the Ryzen 9 and 3070 for $1800 but obviously that's going to be sold out. Everything else was 1200-1500, but had lower specs (i7 + 1660 or 2060, with only 512gb SSD). Fans are loud, even on balanced, even just playing something basic like Sims 3, but it was a great buy so far. The only downside imo was the weird trackpad clicks. Keyboard is classic Steelseries RGB, the screen is fantastic, and the finish isn't the worst I've had (looking at you 2015 Lenovo Y series).

You can gain access to Intel XTU by going into the bios and once in the "main" tab press right shift + right control + left alt + F2 at the same time. Once you've done that then click on the advanced setting, scroll down to overclocking performance menu and enable the "overclocking feature" and enable "XTU Interface". This will now allow you to undervolt the CPU in Intel XTU :)

5:48 Oops! Dave got angry. Chill brother... Peace ✌

Hey Dave could you do a review of the Lenovo Legion 5i and 7i when they come out please?

Dave: "10th gen can't Undervolt" Intel stocks: Left the chat On a real-note, though Undervolting is the best thing you can do for a laptop(dropped my temps from 98 to 81 on i7 7700hq on all games) That's bs

Just a note to the speakers. Most probably the speaker is only on the top and the bottom is just a passive radiator for the bass

I paid 990 for mine from Best Buy. I love it. No crazy red logos. No red keyboard hence "stealth". It looks like a business laptop. BUT...He is right about the under volt, I wish it was able to do that also. Overall after 3-4 months I love it. But I'll come back and update this in a a few months.

1:32 "When I did my original vroooo" lol

AMD Ryzen 4000 should also get same kind of treatment.

I’m looking for some names of those Premium laptops you were talking about please so I can check those out. Looking for a new 1 please help:) great video btw

Hi dave, I'm confuse here, msi gs 66 vs razer 15 base, because it have similar price, i just want only reliable laptop, which one you prefer, please HELP

Bought this laptop 3 weeks ago and i can tell that this thing runs HOT like you can use it as a heater
