Reviews for the MSI Raider GE68 HX 14VHG

MSI Raider GE68HX 14V Review
Source: Techtesters English
De MSI Raider GE68HX doet eigenlijk precies wat we vooraf hadden verwacht. Je krijgt top-end specificaties die dankzij hoge power targets ook maximaal presteren, wat enorm fijn is voor games en applicaties, maar uiteraard een beetje ten koste gaat van hoe mobiel zo’n laptop is, plus ook wat geluid maakt als je hem volle bak open zet. Fysiek is het allemaal keurig voor elkaar, ondanks dat ik het design zelf inmiddels wat oubollig over vind komen, maar de inputs zijn erg fijn en de aansluitingen zijn top. Onder de streep is het een erg fijne laptop om mee te werken. Het Mini LED scherm maakt ook indruk, hou alleen rekening met alle voor- en nadelen van alle schermtechnieken gezien er geen “beste” is. Vooral positief ook: de accuduur.
Positive: High performance; impressive mini LED display; very long battery life; great built quality; USB-C charging port. Negative: Old design; heavy and bulky; noisy under loads.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


3.1 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.


MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI) was founded in 1986 in Taiwan. MSI is especially known as a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards for PCs, but also offers computer accessories, complete systems, motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors and other components.
