MSI GS66 Stealth 2021 Overview:

Design and Display

At first glance, the MSI GS66 Stealth may not look like a gaming laptop. Because of the design, you can use the laptop in the office settings too. MSI says it’s the design is the perfect camouflage for business professionals who want to conceal their inner gamers.  The Sharper in Core Black design means the laptop has a matte finish on top of the metal chassis. The laptop comes with a 15.6-inch IPS display. Users can choose between FHD and UHD resolution. Of the two, the FHD panel supports refresh rate of 300Hz and is more likely to launch in Nepal. The bezel on the bottom is thicker than that on the top and sides. It also houses the MSI branding.
