The insides include the 8-core Intel Core i7-11800H, along with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, which according to the specs sheet, has a power limit of 85W. In most cases, the GL66 will perform equal to a laptop RTX 3060 running at a higher power limit, and that 8GB GDDR6 VRAM will help in loading up high-resolution textures. The gaming laptop has a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCD screen operating at 144Hz, so you can also use the machine for competitive gaming. You also get 16GB of DDR4 RAM, which can be upgraded to 64GB if you require, while one M.2 NVMe drive is populated with a 512GB stick. Further expansion is possible thanks to an existing M.2 NVMe slot and one empty SATA III port. Battery life will be limited on the MSI GL66 thanks to its small 53.5Whr cell, giving you around 3-4 hours of endurance on a single charge. It also lacks a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 port, so that is something to keep in mind.
