MSI GE65 Raider review: Portable power, understated glory

Gaming laptops are constantly shrinking in size and weight while packing plenty of punch. This MSI laptop is no different either.

Striking screen visuals ; Capable noise-cancelling microphone ; Decent gaming performance ; Multiple connection options ; Pleasant screen colour options

Frustrating keyboard layout ; Loud under heavy load ; Mediocre battery life

A lightweight, portable and capable gaming machine that's seemingly got it all. Sure there are a few minor niggles - such as the keyboard layout and typically limited battery life - but the GE65 Raider is pleasing in plenty of areas.

MSI GE65 Raider

Thanks to a Core i9 processor and full-fat GeForce RTX graphics, MSI's GE65 Raider is one of the fastest 15.6-inch gaming notebooks you can buy—and it packs a panel with a wildly high refresh rate. Just be prepared to put up with some loud fans.

Blazing performance as tested (with eight-core Core i9, and non-Max-Q RTX 2070). Smooth 240Hz display. Comfortable RGB keyboard. Decent speakers. Wireless card supports Wi-Fi 6.

Display doesn't support Nvidia G-Sync. Some ports are awkwardly located. Fans get loud while gaming.

Bottom Line: Thanks to a Core i9 processor and full-fat GeForce RTX graphics, MSI's GE65 Raider is one of the fastest 15.6-inch gaming notebooks you can buy—and it packs a panel with a wildly high refresh rate. Just be prepared to put up with some loud...

MSI's GE65 Raider Review: A little thick, but a lot fast

The GE65 Raider 9SF packs an 8-core 9th gen Core i9 and GeForce RTX 2070 graphics into a relatively compact body

8 cores of computing power in a laptop! ; GeForce RTX 2070 neutralizes any need for a GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q ; Relatively light and compact

Compromised battery capacity ; 280-watt AC adapter is truly the shape and the size of a brick ; 10-key design won't make corporate accounting happy

Overall, we’d have to say there’s a lot to like in the GE65. The main highlight is the 8-core Core i9-9880H, which offers a significant performance increase over previous chips. Against a 6-core 8th-gen, you’re looking at about a 57-percent increase in...
