Secondary M.2 slot to add more storage. Great screen with only minimal backlight bleeding from the top left corner. Individual RGB steelseries keys.

Only 512GB M.2, DDR4 RAM, short battery life, Shield emblem on the back of the display doesn't light up like previous generation MSI laptops.

After you upgrade this laptop to Windows 10, it's a pretty solid machine. DDR4 is not a killer for a laptop, you likely won't notice much performance gain from DDR5. I wish it came with 1TB hard drive, otherwise it's a great little beast.

Awesome performance, Sleek design, Great thermals, 12th Gen, RTX 3070 Ti, 240hz screen

Short power cord, Power button on keyboard, Mediocre speakers, 65W Battery, Windows 11, MSI Center

This laptop is absolutely stunning, for me its like the ultimate performance laptop a dream come true. The screen is great a real pleasure to use, the touchpad is alright, the keyboard is about the same as my GE66 and a pleasure to type on. The RGB lighting, visuals and flexible adjustments are just awesome, as expected from MSI. This laptop has a full fledge RTX 3070 Ti not a MAX Q version, a pure beast that has jaw dropping performance, good thing that it has a powerful i7-12700H paired with it, much more powerful than the i7-10750H, it's just great to have, to obtain that smoothness in the more demanding games at higher resolutions and settings. I did not have the chance to test all the games I have, because of all the updates required before, but it handles amazingly during gaming sessions in ultra settings. The build is good quality. The fans are silent in normal use, for gaming the noise can get loud, but it's not a high pitch noise. Heat is extremely well handled by the cooling system, you can game as much as you please. If you don't mind having it with similar temps as a GS, set it in BALANCED MODE and noise will no longer be an issue. I cannot express in mere words, my satisfaction of this purchase! The power button is on the keyboard, the speakers are mediocre, but the most annoying hardware issue is the short power cord, annoying to be constantly reminded of this HUGE power brick's presence. The software from MSI, the MSI center, isn't an improvement at all, compared to previous generations, Windows 11 is THE bottleneck for performance, such a poorly optimized version from MS, hope it will improve soon. Battery life: Expect a 2.5 to 3 hours of useful autonomy (screen @ 50%, 60hz wifi/websites/videos)(Windows 11 is very poorly optimized for battery performance, my GE66, GS65, P65, PS63 all suffered from a lost of battery autonomy of between 25-30%) Gameplay temperatures (room temperature 24oC)(On laptop stand): The Division 2 ULTRA 110-130 FPS ULTRA settings 1080P. Temperatures with Cooler boost CPU 75-80oC, GPU 65-70oC, (Again Windows 11 is very poorly optimized for games, my GE66, GS65, P65, PS63 all suffered from a loss of performance of 8-10% when compared to Windows 10) (LP1 65w LP2 75w) Yes I know the GE66 has DDR5 Ram, 99W Battery, 360hz Screen and TB4, but I dont need all that for its intended purpose, that is to replace my GE72 6QF on my 4K TV with a Bluetooth keyboard. I already have my GE66 10SFS for gaming with headphones. If you want best battery autonomy, disable TURBO in BIOS or in POWER PLAN, screen @ 50% and 60hz, SILENT MODE, MSHYBRID.

Good fps, super good gameplay. Doesn't get that hot.

can be pretty loud

Great performance would recommend

Really strong

Gets hot and loud

Awesome laptop!

solid machine, good specs for the price

Gets loud when you push it.

If you have headphones on I doubt you'd even notice the noise issue, otherwise its a good machine.

Good keyboard, Super fast smooth gaming, bright screen. All the FPS.

The laptop is great, would buy again.

Great performance for price. faster than my desktop system. Solid build quality.

Awesome Laptop would buy again

Wonderful graphics card, great FPS, smooth gameplay and wonderful keyboard with incredible lights.

I am completely satisfied with my purchase. This laptop is the best bang for the buck. The power, the smooth gameplay completely takes your gaming experience to the next level. Would definitely recommend this laptop to anyone. Great job MSI!

Wonderful computer, very satisfying, excellent monitor and wonderful lighting keyboard! Keyboard is quiet, and responsive. Graphics are out of this world. Screen turned out to be plenty big, with thin bezzle. Framerate excellent, no jitter.

Would recommend this laptop. Incredible graphics card, best bang for the buck. I did a ton of research. Very happy with my purchase.

Build quality and performance is excellent.

Really impressed with the thermals on it so far - heat does not reach anywhere near dangerous levels.
