MSI’s GE Raider series was first launched in last year’s Computex. This year, however, MSI is stepping up their game with the new GE Raider RGB Edition. This new notebook from MSI comes with the latest Intel 8th generation Coffee Lake-H processors and even more RGB lighting than the previous Raider notebooks.
The MSI GE Raider RGB is decked out with an 6-core, 12-thread Intel Core i7-8750H Cofee Lake processor that can be paired up to 32GB of RAM. Graphics are handled by none other than NVIDIA GTX 1070 video GPU. MSI has also improved their cooling system with the MSI Cooler Boost 5 that has dual fans and seven copper heat pipes to cool down the notebook.
To improve your gaming experience, the GE Raider RGB comes equipped with a 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time as standard. It also comes with the latest Nahimic 3 audio suite, Killer Networking, and Bluetooth 5.0. Here are the complete specs of the two SKUs of the GE Raider RGB series:
