    In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

    Office Work

    Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

    Design and Gaming

    This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.

    CPU performance

    Here you can find the price/performance difference between all the CPUs that come in the MSI Vector GP66 (12Ux) series.

    Here, we evaluate the CPU's performance using a real-world 3D rendering task, assessing its ability to handle complex computations and rendering workloads efficiently.

    Results are from the Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core test (higher is better)

    MSI Vector GP66 (12Ux) in-depth review

    For their next trick, MSI takes the GP66 Leopard, and transforms it into an absolute killer of a mobile computer, called the Vector GP66. We are not overestimating the device. After all, it comes with up to a Core i9-12900H, and up to an RTX 3080 Ti with the whopping 150W of TGP. You need a very efficient cooling solution to be able to tame this much performance potential.Actually, MSI boasts a so-called Overboost technology, which should allow the CPU and the GPU to run at a total of 195W (150W for the graphics card, and 45W for the processor). Presumably, this is the thermal efficiency [...]

    Pros

    • 150W RTX GPU options
    • 2x M.2 PCIe Gen 4 slots, 2x RAM SODIMM slots in dual channel, Wi-Fi 6E
    • Covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and has accurate color representation with our Gaming and Web design profile (165Hz 1440p panel)
    • Snappy panels with quick response times
    • Extremely good cooling
    • You can connect up to three additional monitors

    Cons

    • Lacks an SD card reader and Thunderbolt support
    • Subpar battery life
    • Its keyboard is not ideal for gaming
