Gaming LaptopProduct Gallery
Product Overview
The 2021 MSI GS66 Stealth 10UX is a high-end 15.6-inch gaming laptop powered by up to 10th-gen Intel Core i9 CPU and NVIDIA RTX 3080 GPU. It improves upon the 2020 model by adding the latest RTX 30-series graphics.
Like the 2020 GS66, the new 10UX can be configured with either FHD or 4K UHD display, the latter of which delivers 100% coverage of the Adobe RGB color space. Another important feature that is carried over is the large 99.9Wh battery.
Further, MSI has introduced Bluetooth 5.2 to the new GS66 Stealth.
Alongside the GS66 Stealth, MSI also refreshed at CES 2021 the 15-inch Stealth 15M, 17-inch GE76 Raider and 15-inch GE66 Raider, 17-inch GP76 Leopard and 15-inch GP66 Leopard, and 17-inch GF75 Thin and 15-inch GF65 Thin.

Reviewer score 79% (normalized by Neofiliac)The MSI GS66 Stealth is finally a gaming laptop that can run at 1440p at decent frame rates. The touchpad and keyboard are some of my least favorite aspects of the laptop. It might not be my favorite design, but the combination of a superfast, high-resolution screen and excellent gaming performance make it one of the best gaming laptops you can buy.
Pros
- Superfast, high-resolution screen
- Excellent gaming performance
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- No HDMI 2.1
- No Thunderbolt 4

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac) MSI's CoolerBoost technology has seven heat pipes and three fans with 0.004-inch thin fan blades. The touchpad, center and bottom of the Stealth measured 81, 108 and 111 degrees. The laptop has its fair share of bloatware, such as Hulu, Roblox and Hidden City: Hidden Object Adventure.
Pros
- Super-fast gaming performance
- Long battery life
- High-resolution display
Cons
- No Thunderbolt 3

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac) MSI has made no major internal changes outside of the CPU and GPU swap. The cooling solution and components appear identical to what we observed on last year's Turing-powered GS66. 4K video playback at 60 FPS is smooth but not perfect with 8 dropped frames during our minute-long video test.
Pros
- Slim bezels
- Decent graphics performance
- Good battery life
Cons
- No 4K option

Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)The GS66 Stealth made an impressive 6,175-point showing in PCMark 10. Its large 99.9-watt-hour battery propelled it to near the front of this pack. It's a good showing for a high-end gaming notebook even if the time is unremarkable.
Pros
- Fantastic QHD display
- Good battery life
- Comfortable keyboard backlighting
Cons
- Lackluster performance

Reviewer score 69% (normalized by Neofiliac)The MSI GS66 Stealth is equipped with the new Intel 10th Gen H-Series processors and Nvidia’s latest RTX graphics cards. It hits a size sweet spot for gamers who might find smaller displays far from ideal and bigger displays just impractical. Some gamers will be disappointed at the lack of G-Sync and FreeSync, which prevent screen tearing from ruining the visuals.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Excellent gaming performance
- Excellent trackpad
Cons
- No G-Sync or FreeSync
- Short battery life
