MSI Pulse GL66 11UCK

Stylish, well-balanced gaming laptops from MSI, which set the fashion for strict and thin gaming machines inspired by business laptops. The appearance of the MSI Pulse GL66 is dominated by strict and elegant forms, everything is painted black, and the case itself turned out to be moderately thin and light (2.25 kg with a thickness of 24 mm). This approach allows you to achieve the optimal balance between the mobility of the system and the efficiency of cooling hot components. The MSI Pulse GL66 11UCK is powered by a 12-thread Intel Core i5 (11th generation Tiger Lake) processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card. Let it be the youngest representative of the Nvidia Ampere series with only 4 GB of video memory on board, like older models, it supports hardware ray tracing and uses AI to optimize the load on the GPU. In AAA games of recent years like Far Cry 6, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Forza Horizon and God Of War 2018, a combination of this level provides from 40 to 60 FPS at medium graphics settings. That is, it is convenient to play, but there are certain compromises. The processor and graphics card are complemented by 8 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, which can be increased up to 64 GB with a second free slot. The laptop's Achilles' heel is a completely ordinary 15-inch IPS display with modest color reproduction (45% NTSC triangle coverage) and an old-school 60Hz refresh rate, which is more typical of inexpensive multimedia laptops rather than serious gaming machines. The dual-fan cooling system prevents overheating of the processor and video core during peak load. The branded keyboard is backlit by MSI Mystic Light Sync. A network controller with a gigabit LAN port and a wireless receiver of Wi-Fi 6 class is responsible for processing network traffic. A large set of USB ports of various classes is provided for connecting peripherals, smartphones and other gadgets.
