Visually, the GE66 differs very much from its 15-inch stablemate, the GE65. The form and design language are more oriented towards the 17-inch GT76 Titan, which we tested extensively in 2019. The gray lid stands out nicely from the rest of the surfaces, which are designed in a much darker color tone.

The numerous edges/curves and design elements make the GE66 look more playful than many of its MSI colleagues, which is of course a matter of taste. The LED strip on the laptop’s front is particularly striking and can be illuminated in different colors to match the keyboard (or can be deactivated if desired). The case’s workmanship and stability hardly give cause for criticism – except maybe for the LED strip that does not perfectly disappear into the frame.
