Although it shares its attractive looks with the high-end MSI Raider GE77 HX 12UHS that was reviewed by us last year, the MSI Raider GE77 HX 12UGS comes with lower specs, although it remains a decent choice for gamers and content creators for the time being . While its sibling is listed on Amazon for US$3,349 and MSI’s website for US$3,299.99, the lower-specced MSI Raider GE77 HX 12UGS has a list price of US$2,599.00 (Amazon) and US$2,199.99 (MSI). Now, it goes down below US$2,000 in both cases, which means that Amazon customers get to enjoy a 23% discount.
The discounted MSI Raider GE77 HX carries the full model name 12UGS-004. Its list of hardware highlights includes the Intel Core i7-12800HX processor alongside NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti mobile graphics, 16 GB DDR5-4800 memory, and a 1 TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD. The cooling is handled by MSI’s Cooler Boost 5 which consists of a pair of fans and no less than 7 heat pipes alongside a proprietary phase change thermal pad cooling solution. The generous 17.3-inch QHD display has a 240 Hz refresh rate and DCI-P3 100% color gamut. This machine comes preloaded with Windows 11 Pro and, in addition to all the above and the ubiquitous USB/HDMI ports, it also features Thunderbolt 4 connectivity.
Those who choose to buy the MSI Raider GE77 HX 12UGS-004 directly from MSI can choose to extend the standard one-year limited warranty by one (+US$80) or two years (+US$140). A few MSI gaming mice can be added to the order as well, with discounted prices that start at US$19.99 for the Clutch GM11. If a slightly more powerful MSI Raider GE77 HX configuration is in the cards, you might also go for the 12UHS-074, which brings NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics next to the Intel Core i7-12800HX processor and a 360 Hz FHD IPS display for a discounted price of US$2,349.99 on both Amazon and MSI’s website.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years I’ve been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
