“I would like to know why would people buy this MSI $2K+ Lap-gaming. What is so special about this Laptop. If it has a old CPU Intel i7 10th gen. Instead of buying one that has the new i7 11th gen or even a AMD RyZen 9 4th gen. Am I missing something here.”

I'd say the GE66 is special because it's a good build quality laptop with a higher power 3070. No more Max-Q and Max-P naming this gen, so you have to check each laptop to see how many watts of power they're allowing to the GPU. For the processor, as of right now the only 11th gen Intel processors released in laptops are the 4 core variants. Maybe another month or so for the higher core count 11th gen to show up? But I don't know if 11th gen is really going to give you anything more than 10th gen. Maybe higher boosts at the expense of higher voltages/temps? Ryzen I agree would be better here. But Ryzen laptops are in short supply, if this came with the Ryzen chip I'd expect it to be much harder to get. And if the focus is solely on gaming, the difference between Intel 10th gen and Ryzen I think is not all that much. Productivity though, Ryzen wins for sure.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 11th gen CPUs are not worth the additional cost. Side by side comparisons show little to no real world improvement. This also has the best 3070 right now maxing out at 130w and a mux switch for dedicated graphics as well as 32gb ram and a cooling system that won't throttle the CPU or GPU. Comparisons have shown this to be on par with 2080 desktops, which is absolutely insane when you consider it's a laptop. Personally, I'd have loved there to have been a 5800, 5900 or even a 10th gen I9 option, but for now this is what we have. I'd be willing to bet by the end of summer or fall, there will be AMD options though.
