Raider GE78 HX

Rs. 2,98,000 (RTX 4070)

👍 Pros

  • Elite gaming performance with i9-14900HX
  • Stunning 240Hz QHD+ display
  • The most impressive RGB light bar in existence
  • Excellent port selection and connectivity

👎 Cons

  • Massive and heavy to carry
  • Fans get very loud under full load
  • Battery life is poor (expected for this class)

Design & RGB

MSI hasn't held back with the GE78. The "Matrix Light Bar" at the front is a sight to behold, offering customizable RGB that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. The build is solid, though the hinges feel a bit stiff compared to the Stealth series.

Performance King

The performance is where the "Raider" name really shines. In benchmarks, the i9-14900HX hits scores that rival many high-end desktops. Gaming at 1440p is a breeze, with even Cyberpunk 2070 running smoothly at Ultra settings with Ray Tracing enabled.

Overall Verdict

9.2

A Masterclass in Enthusiast Gaming

This laptop is a beast! The light bar looks amazing in my setup. Performance is unmatched in Nepal for this price.
