PRICE FROM $ 2,145
So here I am with the MSI GE76 Raider, the first Alder Lake gaming notebook to reach us. In addition to an Intel 12th Generation Core i9-12900HK CPU, the GE76 Raider also sports an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU. Both combine to make the GE76 Raider quite possibly the most powerful gaming notebook right now. MSI certainly didn’t stinge on the rest of the components either. You get 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and two 2TB SSDs for storage.
While the MSI GE76 Raider might come in a 17.3-inch body, but at only just 2.6cm thick and weighing 2.9kg, is a far cry from the bulky gaming notebooks that we’ve come to expect. The size also serves the practical purpose of housing a heavy-duty thermal system, including what MSI calls a “phase-change metal pad”, for both the CPU and GPU to keep it cool.
