Product Overview
The 2021 MSI GE66 Raider 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.
Apart from the GPU update, the 2021 GE66 Raider only differs from the 2020 version at two points: a USB-C 3.2 Gen2x2 port is newly available, and Bluetooth 5.2 is newly supported. The two units are otherwise identical.
Alongside the GE66 Raider, MSI also refreshed at CES 2021 the 15-inch Stealth 15M, 15-inch GS66 Stealth, 17-inch GE76 Raider, 17-inch GP76 Leopard and 15-inch GP66 Leopard, and 17-inch GF75 Thin and 15-inch GF65 Thin.

Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)The GE66 Raider Dragonshield has a decent webcam, and as far as laptop webcams go, that might as well be high praise. MSI's 1TB SSD copied 25GB of data, and showcased a transfer rate of 1,087 megabytes per second. The laptop lasted 5 hours and 10 minutes, which is just short of the 5:23 premium gaming laptop average.
Pros
- Gorgeous 4K OLED display
- Sleek design
- Comfortable keyboard
Cons
- Mediocre battery life
- Lackluster speakers
