MSI Raider GE78 HX (13VH-070US) review

An awesome gaming experience with few critical flaws

Rainbow road lightbar ; Bright, colorful display ; Comfortable keyboard ; Great speakers ; Powerful performance and graphics

$3,000 hurts my soul ; Poorly implemented touchpad ; Terrible battery life

The MSI Raider GE78 HX is an absolute beast, from its raw performance to its gorgeous 17-inch display, but I hate the touchpad.

MSI Raider GE78 review (2023 Raider GE78 HX 13V model - i9, RTX 4080)
