The MSI Raider GE78 HX 14V is a fantastic laptop with gamers in mind. Its next-generation CPU and GPU deliver some of the best performance you'll find from a laptop at the moment. While enjoying buttery-smooth gaming you'll also benefit from a comfortable laptop and an abundance of LEDs to light your room up. The display falls short of 4K but is more than enough for any FHD games. The battery could be better and when the hardware is under stress, the fans are uncomfortably loud.
The display, for the price, is rather incredible too. The 17” QHD+ screen looks lush, and the 240Hz refresh rate delivers smooth gaming without interruption.The GE78 HX certainly looks the part. As soon as I unboxed it, I could tell that I was going to love everything about the design. The reflective MSI badge, and red trim line between the hinge and display set the laptop apart right out of the gate. The hinge opens effortlessly without even a hint of the keyboard lifting up and out of place.
All of this results in a case that is 380 x 298 x 28.75 mm and has a weight of 3.1 kg. It certainly is on the heavy side and even though it might fit into a good-sized laptop bag, you certainly wouldn't want to be carrying it for too long.The 17-inch display really looks incredible, especially given the 16:10 aspect ratio.
The Raider GE78 HX 14V performed admirably in all the tests, beginning with the Geekbench 6 CPU single-core score that came in at 2,494. The same test but for multi-core, was 9,941. To put it in perspective, one of the best gaming laptops on the market at the moment is the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 16. This racked up a single-core score of 2,851 and a multi-core score of 16,801. It's fairly even for single-core but struggles in the multi-core aspect.
In terms of battery performance, given that it's a gaming laptop, there were no surprises that it struggled significantly. The 99.9Wh battery managed between 4 and 6 hours with normal usage. This went down rapidly when 'Mystic Light' was turned on. You'll want to take your battery charger with you wherever you go.
