MSI’s new GE63VR and GE73VR Raider gaming rigs up for preorder in Malaysia

MSI’s latest gaming rigs have just rolled into town with a revamped design and quite a bit of enhanced hardware running under the hood.

Externally the GE63VR and GE73VR have revamped aesthetics akin to a sports car with a slimmer, sleeker look combined with MSI’s usual aggressive design finished in their usual black brushed metal finish with red mylar trim.

On top of a more fetching aesthetic, both of MSI’s new GE-series gaming rigs come with the latest 7th generation Intel Core i7 processors and pack the latest NVIDIA GTX 10 series GPUS. To keep things cool on both GE-series notebooks, MSI has integrated their fifth generation Cooler Boost 5 cooling array that integrate a pair of fans, 7 heat pipes, four exhausts and a whopping 31 fan blades to keep the whole affair cool even under intensive gaming.

Both notebooks also come with their latest generation Dynaudio 2.1 speaker arrays that come with a pair of woofers and a pair of speakers too along with five times the chamber echo space over previous incarnations for improved audio quality.

Gamers who like their bling will appreciate the fact that both GE-series Raider notebooks come with individually backlit RGB keys. This potentially allows you to customise the colours of each and every button to your liking for almost any conceivable need from suiting personal flights of whimsy all the way to tweaking it to offer gaming feedback when you’re trudging through an MMO, FPS or whatnot.

For Malaysia, MSI will be bringing in their GE73VR 7RE Raider rig which comes with a 17.3-inch Full HD display, an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 GPU with 6GB GDDR5 graphics and a 1TB 7200rpm SATA hard disk paired with a 256GB NVMe SSD for RM7,499.

If you need a slightly more compact but equally powerful gaming rig, you can opt for the GE63VR 7RE  which comes with a 15.6-inch Full HD display, a similarly hefty Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 with 6GB GDDR5 graphics and a 1TB 7200rpm SATA hard disk combined with a slightly smaller 128GB NVMe SSD. The GE63VR retails for RM7,199.

Both the GE73VR 7RE and the GE63VR 7RE are now available for preorder from MSI’s official online store, their online store-in-store at 11Street and MSI’s offline dealers including Harvey Norman starting from today till 24 August. If you hustle and preorder, MSI will also throw in a free MSI gaming mouse worth RM650 in the bargain.
