78% MSI Raider GE68 HX (2023) Review: The Price Isn’t Right
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal
Okay, that was all for my full review of the new MSI Raider GE68 HX (2023). Needless to say that there’s definitely a lot to love about this gaming beast. Including its design, display, performance, and thermals. Yes, that RTX 4070 issue is a bit concerning but that’s an “NVIDIA issue” and not an “MSI issue”, so we can’t pile it all on MSI anyway. At NPR 388,000, the Raider GE68 HX is quite an overpriced gaming laptop for everything it offers. And looking into alternatives from practically any other major laptop brand, you can find similarly configured gaming laptops for much lower prices. Like the Acer Predator Helios 16 (2023) which has the same RTX 4070 GPU and an even more powerful Core i9-13900HX CPU combo. And unlike the Raider GE68, it also brings Advanced Optimus support.

70% MSI Raider GE68HX 13VF Review
Source: PC Mag
The Raider GE68HX 13VF is an intriguing if flawed confluence, set apart by its powerful hardware. It may not be the most effective gaming machine you can get for the price, but it makes up for that with a bit of extra curb appeal and a heap of CPU performance that can help it excel as a workstation during the day and gaming machine at night (ideally with an external monitor). The Costco-exclusive model's $1,799 price is one of its more compelling aspects (and its screen one of its least), as the higher-spec configurations will make for unfavorable races with Lenovo’s higher-end Legion laptops.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

2.7 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

2.75 kg:

78.32%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
