A high-end gaming laptop with a sober design: MSI Stealth GS66
Not only does MSI equip the latest GS66 generation with a brand-new Alder Lake CPU, but also with an updated Ampere GPU. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti of the base 12UGS variant already promises enough performance to handle the QHD display.
A lot of power in a compact and light case: This is what MSI wants to achieve with the GS66 series. The latest 15-inch model, which we recently reviewed in detail, certainly lives up to MSI's expectations. Even in demanding games, the performance of the Core i7-12700H and the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is usually sufficient for maximum settings at the native QHD resolution, although the video memory is a bit limited for the long run (only 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM).
While the GS66's noise development is in line with or even below the competition, its heat development is above average. Plus points are awarded for the wide color space of the fast 240 Hz display in particular: DCI-P3 is covered by almost 100%. Another highlight is the powerful battery, which, however, suffers a bit under the power-hungry components.
Find out what other strengths and weaknesses the 15-incher has in our review.

I discovered my interest in computers in my childhood, growing up with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 in the early 1990s. I was especially fascinated with computer games, even from an early age. From Monkey Island through Lands of Lore to Doom, I tried every game I could get my hands on. I have been working for Notebookcheck since 2009 with my focus mostly being on high-performance gaming laptops.

I've been fascinated with technology ever since I got my very first Android smartphone, which was quite a while ago. The power packed into such a small footprint still amazes me. Learning to program made my understanding of technology deeper, and at the same time, it expanded my interest to the area of desktop computers and laptops. All this led me to enjoy reading and watching reviews of new devices, and that's how I stumbled upon Notebookcheck. I immediately found their reviews to be very comprehensive, and luckily, I've even had the chance of translating them since 2019. When it comes to the huge field of technology, I'm currently also interested in specializing in Java programming.
