With dimensions of 15'' x 11.7'' x 1.13'' and a weight of 6.83 lbs, it's a bit heavier than some laptops, making it ideal for stationary use such as gaming or intensive work sessions that require a high-performance machine.

The machine features a formidable i9-13980HX processor and an RTX 4090 graphics card. With these high-grade components, it delivers remarkable performance, scoring near perfect in both CPU and GPU scores. The MSI Raider GE78 is equipped with 32GB of RAM, which allows for efficient multitasking across numerous demanding applications. For storage, it provides a substantial 2048GB, with the added flexibility of two storage slots for potential upgrades in the future. Two RAM slots are also available, making memory upgrades possible.

The laptop boasts a large 17.3" IPS display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600, offering a quality visual experience, further enhanced by a high refresh rate of 240Hz. For connectivity, the device provides two USB Type-A ports, three USB-C ports (which also support charging), four display outputs, and an Ethernet port for wired internet connections. Thunderbolt technology is also integrated for faster data transfer rates. Despite its powerful components, the laptop maintains a reasonable battery life of 6 hours, supported by a high-capacity 99.9Wh battery.
