Reviews for the MSI Raider GE78 HX 13VI

80% MSI Raider GE78 review: Big, bold, and powerful
Source: PC World
We’re early into the 14th generation of Intel Core HX notebooks, but our benchmarks showed a clear delineation between 13th- and 14th-gen gaming notebooks, more than I expected. So far, we have two 14th-gen notebooks to compare between, the Asus ROG Strix and the MSI Raider GE78, and the latter is the clear winner. Add 32GB to it (and boy, I was tempted to ask for a full-fledged review unit, just to see what it could do) and it will shine. MSI’s 14th-gen GE78 HX 14VIG excels as a gaming laptop, with a number of admirable features that try hard to convince you to use it as an all-around machine. Gamers will care solely about the gaming performance, and the MSI Raider generally soars to the top of the heap. But I liked the Raider’s keyboard, even if the laptop’s size pushes it to the rear. A 1080p webcam? Not the best, but it’s a nice touch.

94% MSI Raider GE78HX 13VI-209UA gaming notebook review: M-m-monster kill!
Source: Root Nation
MSI Raider GE78HX 13VI-209UA is one of the most powerful gaming laptops currently on the market. Assembled from top components in MSI’s proprietary design. The notebook provides a high level of performance both in normal work tasks and in modern demanding games. In addition to high-performance components, the laptop has a good cooling system, cool gaming display and excellent sound. There are its own branded chips from the manufacturer in the form of MSI Center and True Colour. And for the implementation of backlighting and collaboration with SleelSeries a separate respect. From the disadvantages I can highlight only the package – the lack of an additional power supply, and then, for many, I think, this point is not critical, and it would be cool to add to the set of branded backpack for carrying. If you need a powerful gaming laptop, I highly recommend you to consider MSI Raider GE78HX 13VI-209UA as an option.

The new MSI Raider model really confirms the title of one of the most powerful gaming laptops. Such a laptop will provide everything you need for comfortable gaming or demanding tasks for years. However, for this level of performance and equipment, you will have to pay, as always, with portability. An additional problem considering "payment" is also the direct meaning of this word, because the official price tag of a model with such a configuration will sincerely surprise many people. For such an amount, you can assemble a good desktop and buy a decent portable laptop separately. However, having the necessary budget and the need for a powerful laptop, the customer should most likely be satisfied with working with such a "beast".

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.
