All Specs
The GL66 Pulse is MSI s latest midrange gaming laptop for 2021, offering Intel Tiger Lake-H processing and Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 series graphics for as low as $949 in the base configuration. (See our one-on-one interview with MSI about this model.) Though our $1,499 test unit produced good gaming performance thanks to its eight-core CPU and GeForce RTX 3060, it s a tough sell when the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro costs about the same with a faster AMD Ryzen processor and GeForce RTX 3070. Our top 15.6-inch value pick remains the $1,349 Acer Predator Helios 300, which delivers similar frame rates, more than double the battery life, and superior features. Overall, the GL66 Pulse struggles in too many areas to warrant more than a passing look, and even that only if you can find a discount.
