We didn’t test this exact model. However, its near-identical sibling is one of our favorite gaming rigs. In our MSI GS66 Stealth review, its attractive design and solid overall and gaming performance won us over. We were also impressed by its solid battery life and gave it a 4 out of 5 star rating and our Editor’s Choice award.
Our MSI review unit had the same hardware configuration as the laptop in this deal. In one test, we streamed a video on Netflix with 40 additional tabs open with some streaming Twitch and YouTube, with Tweetdeck and some Google Sheets running in the background. The Stealth kept chugging along with no signs of slowing down. We expect the MSI GP66 Leopard’s multitasking performance to be on par.
At 5.3 pounds and 14.09 x 10.51 x 0.9 inches, the GP66 Leopard is in the same weight class as the Alienware m15 R4 (5.0 pounds, 14.2 x 10.9 x 0.7~0.8 inches). It’s slightly heavier than competitors like Gigabyte’s Aorus 15G (4.7 pounds, 14 x 9.6 x 0.9 inches) and Razer’s Blade 15 Advanced Edition (4.7 pounds, 14 x 9.3 x 0.7 inches).
The MSI GP66 Leopard is a wise choice if you’re looking for a powerful gaming laptop for under $1,800.
