The MSI Stealth GS66 offers portability and respectable performance at a lower price, making it suitable for general use and moderate gaming. It has a lower storage capacity and less RAM, which might limit performance for demanding tasks. Alternatively, the MSI Titan GT77, while more costly, boasts superior performance with a top-tier processor, advanced graphics, ample storage, and a large amount of RAM, perfect for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, or engineering work. However, its larger screen and heavier build make it less portable. Both laptops offer long battery life, but the Titan GT77's higher-resolution display and better heat management may drain its battery faster. Give Feedback

The MSI Titan GT77 is best in class for engineering and design, while the MSI Stealth GS66 is very good.
The MSI Stealth GS66 is very good for engineering and design tasks with its capable CPU, solid RAM, and high-quality GPU alongside a standard IPS screen, yet it's more portable and quieter. The MSI Titan GT77, on the other hand, is the best in class for these tasks due to its top-tier CPU, significantly more RAM, advanced GPU, and superior Mini LED screen, but it's less portable and has a louder operation noise.

The MSI Titan GT77 has a better screen than the MSI Stealth GS66 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The MSI Stealth GS66, with good screen quality for general and engineering uses, offers a balance of resolution and brightness suitable for everyday tasks and detailed design work, complemented by decent color coverage that appeals to professionals in creative fields. However, its lower refresh rate makes it less ideal for gaming and 3D applications, where fluid motion and rapid screen updates are crucial. On the other hand, the MSI Titan GT77 provides exceptional screen quality across general use and engineering by delivering excellent resolution, high brightness levels, and wide color gamuts, ensuring accurate color reproduction, but like the GS66, its lower refresh rate hampers its performance for gaming and 3D content, where such a feature is highly valued for a smoother visual experience.

"The MSI Stealth GS66 is powerful enough for QHD. The Core i7-12700H and the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti found in the 12UGS model that we tested run all modern games smoothly in the native QHD resolution. The 15-inch display is very fast with its 240 Hz refresh rate, and it also offers a great color space (almost 100% DCI-P3) on top of that, which should please gamers as well as content creators, although we would have still wished for a higher brightness. Case, input devices, and connectivity (Thunderbolt 4) are at a good level. However, among other things, the GS66 loses points due to the high temperature development in 3D mode and its poor webcam."
"The MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."
