People who are looking for a gaming laptop that has the same top-end chips as premium gaming machines but is still affordable then MSI’s Leopard line is the best option. One can get a great gaming laptop for a starting price of $1,599 with almost the same features as the best gaming laptops out there. MSI just took all that is good about premium gaming laptop laptops and put them in a more affordable and less exciting chassis to make GP66 Leopard. It comes with Nvidia’s RTX 3070 mobile graphics and Intel’s eight-core i7-10870H which is more than enough to run the heaviest games you can find.
The GP66 Leopard by MSI is a revamp of GP65 Leopard that was launched in 2019. Apart from the addition of RTX 3070, there was only one noticeable change in the laptop and that is in the design. Although the changes are subtle it makes GP66 Leopard look more professional. The machine is a little thinner than the previous model as well. The keyboards are also improved and they closely resemble those of the Razer Blade line.
Another major change is the location of the ports which are moved to the rear of the chassis. Surprisingly there are fewer ports compared to the previous model. GP66 Leopard comes with one HDMI, one Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 2 with DP 1.4, one RJ45, two Type-A USB 3.2, and an audio combo jack on the left. The benefit of moving all the ports to the back is that there is more space between them which is better than having too many ports crammed together on the sides of the device.
The most impressive thing about GP66 Leopard is the RTX 3070. When it was launched Nvidia has promised that it will be 1.5 times faster than RTX 2070. The laptop can run most games at their highest possible settings without any trouble. It performs better than Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 and MSI’s GE Raider, both of which are way more expensive compared to GP66 Leopard. The machine employs MSI’s Cooler Boost 5 system that includes six heat pipes and two fans to keep the temperature low while gaming. The system used by MSI is quite dependable and the fans can be never be heard during multitasking.
When it comes to office work and regular multitasking, GP66 Leopard can handle everything, and there are no performance issues that one has to deal with. However, there is one major issue with the laptop and that is the battery life. It lasts only about 4 hours which is disappointing considering the quality of the laptop. It does so well in every other aspect but it fails to perform where it matters most. The speaker is also not satisfactory and many users will be disappointed. There is scope for improvement when it comes to the battery life and speakers of GP66 Leopard.
If one can leave the poor battery backup aside. GP66 Leopard does what it should and that is run heavy games without any performance issues. As a gaming laptop, there are very few things to complain about it. People who are looking for a powerful machine at a much lower price than its competitors will love this laptop. GP66 Leopard might be the gaming machine you have been looking for.
