At the time of this review, this sort of configuration goes for around $1800 in the US and around 2000 EUR over here in Europe, but you can follow this link for updated prices and configurations. That brings us to our test unit, which is one of those lower specced models with an Intel Core i7-10750H processor, 1TB of storage, Nvidia RTX 2070 graphics, and a 240 Hz 3ms IPS screen. That makes it competitive at the higher end with the best 15-inch performance ultraportables out there, but especially in the lower-tier SKUs, where the competition normally comes in with somewhat compromised products, such as the Zephyrus M15, the Blade 15 Base or the Predator Triton 300. Unlike some of the other OEMs, MSI offers potential buyers multiple hardware configurations of this laptop, with i7 or i9 processors, RTX 2060 to 2080 Super graphics, and several types of screens. Long story short, the GS66 is a brand new product for 2020, with a new exterior design, new internal chassis, a new keyboard, and updated hardware specs over the 2019 GS65. You probably know plenty about it by now, but having reviewed it later than other websites, I can also tell you how this compares to the other 15-inch notebooks in the same niche, which I’ve also tested in the meantime.
