Stylish and built to a very high standard, the Blade series appeals to professional creative types as well as gamers but that undoubted quality comes at a price. Razer's Blade 15 models are always worth a look and the latest Intel 12th Gen machines are no exception. Again, though, you’re paying for the slim, sleek design and even a less powerful specification than the Vector costs £200 more. We've only tested the recent Alienware laptops in their 14in x14 and 17.3in x17 R2 variants but the 15.6in x15 R2 model is just as nice. It isn’t quite as powerful as the MSI, though, and at £2,399 costs more. With a lovely optical-mechanical keyboard, multiplexer switch and numerous funky design touches like the magnetic Keystone, the Strix Scar 15 is an object lesson in attention to detail. The most obvious competition for the GP66 comes from the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15.

There is a model that comes with a 320Hz Full HD screen but that seems to be reserved for our American cousins. The RTX 3060 model comes with a Full HD 240Hz display while the other versions get a 165Hz 2,560 x 1,440 panel. You can have it with an Intel Core i9 CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, or a Core i7 CPU with an RTX 3070 Ti or an RTX 3060.

READ NEXT: The best gaming mouse you can buy MSI Vector GP66 review: Price and competition That's a product design philosophy I can really subscribe to. The display and cooling management are all up to scratch, which reinforces the impression that every penny has been spent on pushing out the highest possible frame rates. It’s a 15.6in gaming laptop that’s stacked with the very latest in performance components and, in the case of this review, that’s the 150W Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU and Intel Core i7-12700H CPU.įew combinations deliver more gaming performance in a laptop form factor and it's surprising, to say the least, to find them in a machine costing only £2,100.Īnd while that might seem like an odd thing to say about a laptop costing this much money, remember, you can easily spend twice that on a high-end gaming laptop.Īs we'll see, some corners have been cut but not any really critical ones. MSI Vector GP66 review: What you need to knowĪnalogies aside, the MSI Vector GP66’s proposition is a fairly simple one. Think of it as the gaming laptop equivalent of an American muscle car like the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, with a huge V8 offering massive speed at a much lower price than a comparably fast, but more refined, Porsche 911. To that end, MSI has designed a gaming laptop that's light on subtleties but heavy on brute power. That's what the Vector is all about: delivering the maximum raw gaming performance for the minimum price. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a banner on the wall of the office in Taiwan used by the team who designed the MSI Vector GP66 that reads "It's all about the frame rate, stupid", albeit in Mandarin Chinese.
