Archive.org versionOverall, we’d have to say there’s a lot to like in the GE65. The main highlight is the 8-core Core i9-9880H, which offers a significant performance increase over previous chips. Against a 6-core 8th-gen, you’re looking at about a 57-percent increase in performance.

Archive.org versionAccording to PCMag, while performing these tests the CPU and GPU maintained average temperatures of 83C and 80C, respectively. At the same time, the GPU reportedly maintained an average core clock of 1,630MHz, which is significantly higher than the RTX 2070’s stock clock speed of 1,440MHz. This indicates it has been factory overclocked by MSI to improve performance. Clearly the thermal solution also performed exceptionally well during these tests, as thermal throttling was not a noticeable issue.

Archive.org versionThanks to a Core i9 processor and full-fat GeForce RTX graphics, MSI's GE65 Raider is one of the fastest 15.6-inch gaming notebooks you can buy—and it packs a panel with a wildly high refresh rate. Just be prepared to put up with some loud fans.

Archive.org versionMSI’s machine offers huge power for work and play – it’ll handle virtually any productivity app and gaming situation. The 240Hz screen is stunning for esports, and the MSI has a good keyboard and versatile connectivity. It’s heavy and not particularly attractive, though, and forthcoming chips will offer more pace. It’s only ideal if you need loads of power or a 240Hz screen immediately.

Archive.org versionThe MSI GE65 Raider is an excellent mid-tier gaming notebook. It's built nicer, it gets a better display, it performs better and offers a superior thermal module than most other laptops in its class, but it's also more expensive than most and lasts very little on a charge. That's why this is not a value proposition, but one of the better options for those of you who don't mind paying a premium for an improved experience in games and demanding workloads.

The GE65 is 19 percent smaller and 12 percent lighter than the outgoing GE63 while retaining all the same ports and most physical features. It's one of the lighter 15.6-inch gaming laptops you can buy from MSI outside of the GS65.
