Reviews for the MSI GS66 10SGS-205

78% Msi GS66 Stealth Review – Power And Portability In Your Hands
Source: Pokde English Archive.org version
The MSI GS66 Stealth is a great gaming laptop. You get solid performance, good build quality, a decent array of ports, above average battery life, good display with 300Hz refresh rate, per-key RGB, and surprisingly great speakers in a very portable package.

MSI GS66 Stealth Review: Thin and small, with a 300Hz screen
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
If you glance back at the charts above, the MSI GS66 Stealth posts solid performance overall, especially considering its weight and size. The problem is when you consider the pedigree of the components inside—Core i9 and RTX 2080 Super—as well as the price as configured, we hoped for more.

80% MSI GS66 Stealth Review: Thin and small, with a 300Hz screen
Source: PC World English Archive.org version
The MSI GS66 Stealth is an impressively thin and light gaming laptop with solid performance, but our high-end configuration probably strained the thermal limits of the design. A dialed-down configuration will probably deliver better bang for buck.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

79.33%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
