Reviews for the MSI GE66 10SGS-074
Source: Ultrabook Review

This MSI GE66 Raider is one of the best-balanced performance laptops we've tested in years. It's a full-size 15-inch computer, so not as portable as some other options, but compensates by excellently balancing the performance, thermals, and noise-levels in pretty much every activity, from casual use to demanding workloads and games. On top of that, MSI greatly improved on the build quality from the previous generation, added a larger battery inside, and didn't compromise on any of the important aspects, including inputs, screen choices, or the IO. They did cut corners with the poor audio implementation, though.

The MSI GE65 Raider was called “a beast” in our review earlier this year. From its powerful specs, stunning 240Hz display and great overall gaming performance, there was much to love about the gaming laptop. However, below standard speakers and battery life hurt the already outdated design. For its follow-up, the GE66 Raider 10SGS, there are three main enhancements that leave the GE65 in the dust. Gaming performance is fairly top-notch, the 15.6 inch FHD screen running at 300Hz is gorgeous and the battery improvements are significant.

The Raider provides a nice balance between portability, slimness, price and performance. It’s not as skinny as the MSI GS66 Stealth so there’s more room for cooling and faster GPUs. It’s available with a 6 core i7 and an 8 core i9 overclockable processor and your choice of NVIDIA RTX 2070, RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2080 Super Max-Q graphics. The laptop has 2 RAM slots, 2 M.2 NVMe SSD slots, a SteelSeries per key RGB backlit keyboard and a new programmable light bar on the front edge.
