Reviews for the MSI Raider GE76 12UGS-493

MSI GE76 Raider Malaysia review: Alder Lake is good, actually
Source: Soycincau English
Don’t get me wrong, it just about meets all of my expectations for a laptop this expensive, but there wasn’t anything that made me go ‘wow‘ either. Maybe if I got to try out the GE76 Raider with a higher resolution display, or if the speakers were just a little better I would’ve been impressed more. Perhaps it’s the gaudy gamer aesthetic that just didn’t vibe with me. Nevertheless, it’s just fine as it is, and sometimes there’s really no problem in just being fine. Personally, I might cheap out and go for a so-called “lesser” or “value-focused” alternative that’s also more portable, but if you’re someone like a student gamer heading off to a dorm for the next couple of years and you’re fine with giving up portability for even more performance, a desktop replacement like this could be well worth the investment.

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.


2.9 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.


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. However, the Microstar brand name in Germany belongs to the Medion company. MSI is known for its gaming products and has developed a wide range of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. The company is also active in workstations, servers and industrial automation. MSI has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.


70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
