The Taiwanese company MSI is preparing for CES 2021 two conferences – one of them was called MSIology: The Ultimate Shockwave, which is associated with the upcoming gaming laptops and turns out to be the ancient culture of the Babylonians as the leitmotif. Information about the laptop, which will be prepared in accordance with the above guiding idea, has entered the network. It’s about the GE model 76 Raider, which has not yet appeared on the network. It will be the second new laptop, after the MSI GS 76 Stealth, to be launched with new GeForce RTX cards 3000. The manufacturer, however, is very much on the side of Intel and it cannot be expected that the upcoming top notebooks will offer processors other than Intel Comet Lake-H.

During the MSIology conference: The Ultimate Shockwave , MSI will present both the regular version of the GE notebook 76 Raider, as well as a visually pimped version, referring in a way to the ancient culture of the Babylonians.

Already 13 MSIology: The Ultimate Shockwave will be held on January. It will apply to upcoming laptops based on NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards 3000. A few days before the event, information about the devices presented there was released to the network. The biggest new feature will be 17, MSI GE 3-inch notebook 76 Raider. The default version visually will not differ from the smaller GE model 66 Raider which went on sale last year. A limited edition will also be available for sale, visually modeled in part on Babylonian culture. However, there will also be some characteristic accents, i.e. the image of a dragon on the outer cover. In this version, the MSI logo has been moved to the right side – it is exactly the same logo that appeared in the Summit and Prestige business lines from 2020 year.

MSI GE 76 Raider will be the most efficient laptop of the Taiwanese manufacturer, equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX cards 3070 8 GB and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 16 GB. The notebook will also have Intel Comet Lake-H processors in the form of Intel Core i7 – 10870 H and Intel Core i9 – 10980 HK. In both cases, we are talking about 8-core and 16 – threaded systems 10 generation. All other models – GE 66 Raider, GS 76 Stealth, GS 66 Stealth, GP 76 Leopard, GP 66 Leonard, GF 75 Thin, GF 65 Thin, Stealth 15 M and Creator 15 – will also be equipped with Intel processors. The exception, however, will be MSI Stealth 15 M, which will be packed Intel Tiger Lake-H processors 35 (Intel Core i5 – 11300 H, Core i7 – 11370 H and Core i7 – 11375 H, all with 4 cores and 8 threads) and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX card 3060 Max-Q. I am not personally convinced of such a combination, but we will see in tests whether 4 cores and 8 threads will not inhibit the possibilities of such cards too much. The VideoCardz portal has reached unofficial prices – it seems that although the top laptops will not be more expensive than last year’s versions, notebooks from the Leopard and Thin lines will become extremely unattractive in terms of what they offer apart from processors and graphics cards.
