MSI is claiming 9 hours of productivity battery life, 1 hour more than the GS65.

Larger Battery –MSI crammed in a 99.9Wh battery, upgraded from the 82Whr battery from last year. Sleeker design – Gone is the matte black with gold accent colors, this chassis is completely murdered out in black. Previous models had the motherboard flipped around which meant more work to access those parts. MSI claims this leads to 15% more airflow.Įasier maintenance – Opening the bottom cover exposes the 2 DDR4 RAM slots, 2x m.2 slots, wifi card, and the heatsink. Improved cooling – The Cooler Boost Trinity+ has been updated from 6 to 7 heat-pipes and the fan blades have been redesigned to be thinner at. There’s also a 4k panel available if that’s your flavor. This potentially means higher performance within the same power limits (TDP).įaster Display – 300Hz is in but 240Hz screens are still available. RTX Super Graphics – Nvidia updated their RTX 2000 series with new Super graphics models which have higher CUDA core counts and efficiency improvements such as lower voltage GDDR6 VRAM and more efficient Voltage regulators (VRMs).

Oh, the 8-core processor is also unlocked… Wee!

Intel 10th Gen i7 and i9 processors – This year’s model includes a 10th gen 6-core processor and an 8-core processor.
