The MSI GE76 Raider 12U is possibly one of the most insane laptops ever seen on our site. This beast of a laptop has all the features you could ever want in a gaming/productivity laptop. Let me add that this includes the fastest mobile CPU on the market, the Intel Core i9 12900k, as well as the largest mobile GPU available, the Nvidia 3080TI. Not only that, but this laptop has 32GB of DDR5 memory with a 4800MHz clock speed. This incredible combination makes this laptop a must-have for anyone who can afford it.

The Review
MSI GE76 Raider 12U
Ultimately, the GE76 Raider is the quickest generation yet, however, MSI needs to commit to a new design for the laptop. Personally, if I was looking for a desktop replacement this would be on top of my list, especially if the price was no concern.
PROS
- Insane system performance (12900K and 3080ti)
- Lots of I/O ports
- Solid build quality
- Great RGB accent lighting
- Fast (360hz) refresh rate monitor (17 inch) with multiple options to choose from (4k or 1440P available)
CONS
- Loud fans
- 1080P webcam can be improved with better fps or wider frame of view.
- Design choice is getting dated.
- Charger brick is massive
- Price is extremely high for the model we reviewed($4k+)
