The GE65 will get a successor later this year with the GE66. MSI is doubling down on aesthetics and thinness especially since Intel and Nvidia have no major processor announcements this year at CES.

Announced alongside the GS66 Stealth, the GE66 Raider will supplants the last generation GE65 Raider by introducing new configurations and a slimmer chassis. Users can equip the GE66 with the same 300 Hz IPS panel as found on the GS66 and it will even share the same humongous 99.9 Wh internal battery as well.

To boost customization and visual appeal, the GE66 will have an RGB LED light bar stretching across the front edge of the system and a selection of limited edition skins designed by Digital Artist Collie Wertz. MSI has teamed up with Wertz who has contributed conceptual art for films ranging from Star Wars to the MCU.

More concrete details like core specifications, prices, dimensions, and others are still under wraps for now. We'll be updating this page with additional hands-on photography and details of the GE66 in the days to come.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
