Battery is quite low, otherwise seems solid with 130W 3070. This should perform extremely well in gaming compared to other laptops in this price range.

Seems kinda fishy that it is only 85w for the 3060, but the same thermal package can handle a 130w 3070?

I am not sure about this specific laptop, but after dealing with gaming laptops for over a decade, sometimes they can have stronger gpus or cpus in the same package because they might use more or beefier heatpipes in those models. Once again Idk about this specific model though.

I bet Costco will have a variation of this soon. They like to sell MSI laptops

It's a switch that muxes

But more correctly it's an internal hardware switch that connects the dGPU directly to the laptop screen, bypassing the iGPU and increasing performance a bit. Most laptops with a dedicated GPU have to pass the signal through the integrated GPU which bottle necks the potential performance a bit.

Once you go desktop you can never go back to a laptop….it's such a scam they claim it's a 3070 but in reality it's no where near the equivalent of a full desktop 3070.
Yea, people upvoting this are going to be disappointed!

Doesn't seem like it based my looking... They do list it on their GP66 and GS66 models, but didn't see it mentioned on the GL66.

you're technically correct... But it's still a better mobile GPU than the majority of other laptop GPUs.... Soooo... The point?

People have different use needs. Desktop will always be better, but I certainly don't want to lug my desktop to other countries or even a friends house.
