Gaming performance to equal a premium desktop.

Expensive.

The MSI GE73 Raider RGB 8RF gives you gaming and CPU performance equal to or better than a decently specified desktop, although it’s pricey and the battery life is limited.

MSI GE73 8RF Raider RGB (i7-8750H, GTX 1070, Full-HD) Laptop Review

 

Light organ. MSI equips the GE73 8RF with a hexa-core Coffee Lake-series processor, which provides a significant increase in performance over its predecessor. The notebook smoothly runs all current computer games on its responsive 120-Hz TN panel...

MSI GE73VR 7RF Raider laptop review: A desktop replacement that's worthy of a true gamer

 

At Rs 1,86,000, I'd heartily recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a sensible desktop replacement that can offer a no-holds-barred gaming experience.

The MSI Raider is already my favourite gaming laptop so far, but only because I’m looking at it as a desktop replacement. If I were ever to give up my PC, I think this would be the laptop I'd opt for.

MSI GE73VR 7RF Raider (i7-7700HQ, GTX 1070, Full HD) Laptop Review

 

Here comes some color! The MSI GE73VR 7RF Raider offers very good gaming performance at a weight below 3 kg (~6.6 lb). The 17-inch laptop masters even long gaming sessions. Whether there are weaknesses and if so where, you can find out in our review...

slim, elegant design ; low weight ; fast Intel Core i7-7700HQ ; Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 with 8 GB VRAM ; display with high color space coverage and 120 Hz ; USB-3.1 Gen.2 Type C ; combined SSD and HDD storage ; high-quality keyboard with RGB...

short battery life ; throttling under full loads (CPU + GPU) ; low display brightness ; no NVMe SSD

Without a doubt, the MSI GE73VR 7RF Raider is a gaming laptop. Together, the fast Intel Core i7-7700HQ and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 provide a great basis for gaming. We also like the display, which makes the hearts of any gamer beat faster with a...

MSI GE73 VR Raider Gaming Laptop: Full, in-depth review

 

Back in black (and red)

Solid performance ; Cooling solution works wonders ; Display looks great, minimal tearing

Screen-size hurts portability ; Touchpad sometimes unresponsive ; Battery life as short as you expect

The GE73 VR Raider doesn’t really break away from the usual MSI formula but when the results are as good as they are, it’s hard to complain.

MSI GE73VR 7RF Raider – Laptop Review

 

Not all hardware manufacturers concentrate on slimmer, lighter and smaller gaming notebooks – companies like MSI still recognise the market for more traditional products, especially with LAN gaming and esports proving popular.

MSI’s GTX 1070 might be a little slower than the same chip in the HP, but those basic benchmark scores don’t tell the whole story.
