the darker shades suffering at the highest brightness
lack of a privacy shutter
any flashy logos or strips of LED running around the edges
top bezel is lackluster
some is just taking up space
the right shift key is a bit short for my liking
too dark to show detail in its many scenes set in shadow
no fingerprint reader or IR camera on the device
Contrast is nowhere near OLED
quite

poor thermal management is resulting in the relatively poor performance of the machine

no such gymnastics are needed-just pop off the bottom panel
the audio is still pretty mediocre
Stealth lacks is an integrated SD Card reader
gaming laptop screen is basically obsolete
Keyboard and trackpad The keyboard on the GS66 is slightly mushy
a somewhat bulky power brick
backing up those specs is a pretty hefty price
it s a bad display
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to
bass is particularly lacking
The distribution of the interfaces is a bit disappointing
notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession
