MSI GS66 Stealth

Strengths

The GS66 Stealth is a sleek and stealthy design.
The performance is solid for the size, especially with AMD options available.
A great display is offered with the option to upgrade to a 300Hz panel (though not necessarily needed).
Gaming performance was really good with the RTX 2070 Super, able to match an RTX 2080 non-super in frame rates.
The fast NVMe SSD helps a lot with compression tasks and loading games quickly.

Weaknesses

The plastic rail on the edge of the laptop feels cheap and is not a unibody design.
The keyboard backlighting is not the greatest, especially compared to the competition.
The speakers sound terrible and the microphone quality is trash.
The laptop is excessively loud during gaming scenarios.
A 300Hz display may be overkill for most gamers, who would be perfectly fine with a 240Hz or even 144Hz display.
