Deal | Beastly MSI Raider GE78 HX gaming laptop with RTX 4080, Core i9 and 32GB DDR5 goes on sale

For gamers who are primarily using their gaming laptop as a desktop replacement, a large notebook like the MSI Raider GE78 HX might be the best choice since the big 17-inch chassis usually offer more space for the airflow that is necessary to efficiently cool high-end dedicated graphics cards such as the RTX 4080.

This specific group of gamers should now take a closer look at a noteworthy offer for the aforementioned MSI Raider GE78 HX, whose Intel configuration with the Core i9-14900HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 dGPU is now on sale at B&H Photo Video for $2,199 including free shipping. This model variant of the 17-inch gaming laptop also comes with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. It usually costs $2,699, which means that the reputable electronics retailer is providing a welcome $500 discount on the MSI Raider GE78 HX.

Although the RTX 4080 and Core i9 combo is very enticing by itself, prospective buyers should go through our in-depth review of a very similar 2023 version before ordering the MSI Raider GE78 HX. For instance, we loved the laptop's bright and colorful IPS panel with 240Hz, QHD resolution and full DCI-P3 coverage. MSI has also improved the hinges and offers a bunch of maintenance or upgrade options, including aPCIe 5-compatible M.2 SSD slot.

On the other hand, the Core i9 laptop from MSI comes with a very large charging brick and while we liked the QHD screen overall, it does not support G-Sync. We also observed some backlight bleeding on our particular test unit. Nonetheless, the $500 discount makes the Raider GE78 HX a noteworthy option for QHD gamers who are in the hunt for a big and powerful 17-inch notebook, even though some similarly specced competitors with an RTX 4080 have already undercut the $2,000 mark.
