MSI Raider GE78HX Review 2024! - 14th Gen Intel Gaming Laptop!

[@mjrootz]

Hello, I bought this laptop at COSTCO here in the sates for 2000 USD. I replaced a GE77 that had died due to heat.. this is a GREAT laptop and is a cut above my GE77 the 4070 GPU is plenty for the only game i run (Empyrion) and I am amazed at how beautiful the game graphics look. I can't understand why gamers want the biggest, best and fastest.. such as the 4090.. To me, its like paying 100 dollars to go 100mph and 250 dollars to go 101 mph.. LOL. This is very similar to my GE77.. it feels the same and that was a great laptop.. I have the graphics set to highest and the frame rate set to 180 and this 78HX does quite well. It does get warm and the fans speed up during a game but it stays nice and cool and quite when you are not playing a game.. The other thing that I like is they fixed the hinges and are using heavier hinges since the previous laptops.

Well detailed review. But I have a question is it really the 14th gen version which you showed in the video. As if I am not wrong 14th gen msi raider have naming as 14v and not 13v. 13v denotes a 2023 model with a 13th gen processor. Also, can you confirm if we can change keyboard RGB brightness or not? As we can do in a single colored backlit keyboard

I purchased the GE78 HX 14V, it has the 14th gen I9, 4080. You can change the backlit brightness for both keyboard and matrix bar.
