What Buyers Say
MSI Raider 16" RAIDERGE6814247 Black 2023
The MSI Raider GE68HX is praised for its blazing speed, smooth performance, and stunning display, making it ideal for gaming and demanding tasks. Users love the extensive customization options and futuristic design, though they note the fans can get loud under full load and the laptop is quite heavy. Battery life is decent for normal use but drains quickly during high-performance gaming. Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons for most reviewers.

HP Laptop
This laptop receives mixed feedback. Many users praise its performance, large keyboard with number pad, clear screen, and value for money. However, several critical issues are reported: USB ports incompatible with monitors, exaggerated battery life (under 3 hours), a pre-activated warranty suggesting a used unit sold as new, and an out-of-box failure where the BIOS does not detect the boot device. While some find it a solid business machine, reliability and seller practices are major concerns.
Pros
- Large keyboard with number pad
- Clear and lifelike screen
- Good performance for web apps
- Excellent value for money
- Handles Windows 11 well
Cons
- USB ports incompatible with monitors
- Exaggerated battery life (under 3 hours)
- Pre-activated warranty suggests used unit
- Out-of-box boot failure
- USB-C port not clearly labeled for data only
