According to our laptop expert
The MSI GE73 Raider RGB 8RF-089BE is a 17.3-inch laptop that lets you play games at high settings and work on demanding graphic design projects. The Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB RAM work together and provide enough calculating power to create graphic animations without stuttering. On top of that, you can play VR games on high settings, thanks to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 video card. The 120Hz refresh rate means that the 17.3-inch Full HD screen smoothly shows you everything. You can store all your games and projects on the 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD. Need more storage space? You'll find it on the 1TB HDD.

Unboxing feeling:
Opening the coolblue box My first reaction at the time was: for the € 2400 this box can be a bit more spectacular.. Until you open that brown dirty box! You will then receive a beautifully finished black-red box. I was blown away: classy finish. This was a bit different from my 6 month old Asus ROG laptop.
Then I saw 2 !!FREE!! loot boxes! Never in my life as a gamer have I had free loot boxes! Every gamer knows that you have to pay for loot boxes. This was a phenomenal feeling. I felt honored. I was (almost) crying with happiness. I get loot boxes without paying.
When opening the black-red box, I had to wipe away another tear. She is so beautiful! Uhm... I'm talking about my girlfriend exactly... gosh she is somewhere.. but my fiancé isn't going to like that very much I think.. :) I am talking about this beautiful device. Fully packed and secured in the box itself. In the box itself also shock-resistant material. Can you picture it already? The laptop and box!
First feeling when I started them up: Yes dude, I had to go to the toilet. But hold on for a while. I want to see this first boot up! And gosh, it was actually worth it. YOU HAD TO SET UP WINDOWS! Always that crap with Windows. The first use was extremely friendly. Beautiful backlit keyboard, coolerbooster 5 very easy to operate. Just like the keyboard and the RGB lighting behind the screen (which can also be changed enormously in terms of colors and can be switched off yourself!!)
3 months of use further: I have many files on my C: drive. Photos, documents, etc. I thought I'd check for driver updates. And yes, there were a lot of them! Intel Graphics, Dragon Center, MSI Help Desk, BIOS, chipset and much more. Until I did the famous Realtek driver update...... Realtek helped me a lot... I had to clean the entire C: drive.. had to reinstall Windows... I ALWAYS got a BSOD started by Realtek software on startup. So, there was not much else than reinstalling Windows.
I ended up having to uninstall the Realtek driver. Even with the clean install it was difficult. But now everything works perfectly!

This laptop is a beast when it comes to games and graphics tasks (video editing, etc.). The only downside is that the battery doesn't last fantastically long, even when you're not gaming. When used alone, the battery lasted about 3 hours in low-power mode, not a disaster, but nothing to write home about either. Great to use as a (semi-mobile) setup, less so if you also want to use it for school / work on a fixed basis. All in all a strong recommendation in its price range!

This laptop has everything you could want! A very good processor, top of the range graphics card (GTX1070), beautiful design...
Graphics are really good, on my previous laptop some games looked like Minecraft because of the high pixel content. This is not the case at all with this MSI GE73 RGB 8RF, everything is very smooth.
Everyone is also very impressed by the beautiful keyboard lighting, of which you can set each key in color as desired. Mystic light at the back is also very beautiful and adjustable to your liking.
I use this laptop for my studies as well as for games and I especially notice a big difference compared to my previous laptop regarding the keyboard. Wow, this is so easy to type! Perfect.
Battery life is slightly less, but given the great power this laptop has, I condone that. I also had a problem with the drivers after 1 day, so that I could no longer connect to WiFi, but by connecting the laptop with an ethernet cable, the problem was solved.
All in all I am very satisfied with the beautiful finish and top notch specs of this MSI GE73 RGB 8RF!!!
