I pulled the trigger, bought the GE78 HX, exact ver I got was the Raider GE78HX 13VH-070US over the weekend. So far soo good. Still learning all the functions and settings on it but all good so far. $2799.99 at my local Micro Center so better pricing than at original release. Threw a WD Black 4TB drive in right away as secondary drive.

Would you recommend the Ge78 with 4090 or the Gt77 with 4080. Im guessing the Ge but didn’t know if the screen, the cooling system, keyboard and the slots for ram would make that the better choice.

Hello one question, I’m thinking of getting the MSI Raider GE78HX with the 4070, since I use it for work rendering and modeling, I don’t need the 4080-4090, performance wise cpu is it the same as the 4080/4090, since it fits my budget $2600 or will you recommend going for the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 (2023) Ryzen 7945 4080 $2800 or 4070 that’s $2,000… best regards

You really need to start telling us whether IR for Windows Hello is included with the cam and if not if Windows Hello in a fingerprint form is there, or nothing at all. This is one thing you just skip over and I am sure it's important to more than just myself. I get frustrated every time I see your webcam section in a review cause you never say anything either way. Drives me nuts! Also is MSI still shipping with Mcaffee BLOATWARE? This is important too. This is where Razer has a huge edge I will admit. I mean I hate uninstalling it so if I get an MSI I might force myself to use it as my AV, as I am worried it will cause issues down the road unless I do a completely clean install, and I don't even know at this stage whether MSI makes that easy or not like Razer do (just install Synapse and it's all automatic with Windows update but you don't need to with Razer anyway ironically). All that said, if this had a brighter screen I'd have finally found my laptop. Just realised it DOES have IR cam as well according to MSI site, perfect as I love that login feature. Man we got so close this time. Without Dolby Vision Netflix will look awful and compressed at 1080P/ 300 nits. 4K would solve it but Netflix only streams 4K with a 4K screen so maybe there's a workaround to force 4K on Netflix. But still 350 ish is not very bright. Even at 500 I have my Legion at max all the time. At the end of the day. it doesn't make a difference for any other streaming service on Windows other than KZfaq or Netflix (in Australia at least), but that's what I watch the most. Actually apparently you can get 4K on Disney now also but I have not tried it due to no 4K panel at this time and only seeing a 1080P max option here on my 1600P display. Still so confused what to buy sigh.
