Despite a few nagging design issues, the foundation is more sound and powerful than ever. MSI’s design is the clear winner compared to the plentiful amount of all-plastic gaming laptops in each configuration’s price range. For now, Razer is still the standard to beat, but MSI is getting awfully close.

A top-notch 240Hz screen ideal for eSports is the highlight here. There's plenty of power and a portable design but battery life is so so and there are thermal issues, too.

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.

The MSI GS66 Stealth is a good upgrade from the GS65 Stealth, offering a welcome redesign and top-notch specs. Some pesky flaws mean the GS66 Stealth might fall short at a price point that is more fiercely competitive than ever.

Impressive new chassis with not-as-impressive gaming upgrades. The GeForce RTX 2080 Super Max-Q in the GS66 offers just 5 to 10 percent faster graphics performance than the older MSI GS65 with the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q. The best reasons to purchase the GS66 over the GS65 are therefore for its stronger chassis design and upgradeability rather than the minor performance gains when gaming.

The MSI GS66 Stealth is a well-built and potent high-end gaming laptop, but it has a few shortcomings (especially considering the price of our review configuration) and loses some of the identity of its predecessor.

By PCMag on April 30, 2020

The MSI GS66 Stealth has the looks of a flagship with strong gaming performance, but it runs hot and loud with so-so productivity power.
