MSI’s GE65 Raider: A little thick,

but a lot fast

The GE65 Raider 9SF packs an 8-core 9th-gen Core i9 and GeForce RTX 2070 graphics

MSI’s GE65 Raider is proof

positive of how far gaming

laptop performance has

come. Just two years ago, a

top-end gaming laptop would run on a

quad-core 7th-gen CPU. The GE65 Raider

doubles the core count with its 9th-gen Core

i7-9880H chip.

Real-time ray-tracing support? The GE65

Raider has that, too, with its full-power

GeForce RTX 2070.

All this, mind you, weighs just over five
