Performance scores
MSI Raider GE77 (2022) — flagship endurance in a heavy 17-inch frame
The Raider GE77 (2022) at $737 is the 17-inch Raider: the same 99.9 Wh flagship battery (40.7% above median, the flagged strength), a Core i7-12800HX and a GeForce RTX 3070 with 8 GB. The flagged weakness is mobility at 21, 27.6% below the class median, reinforced by 2.9 kg of weight — 20.8% above par, heavy band.
Where it holds up
Photo design posts 97 in the top band and office productivity 97.37 (top) — one of the strongest office-photo pairings of the $737 tier's big machines. The RTX 3070 clears the recommended bar for Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V and Rainbow Six Siege, and the 99.9 Wh cell anchors the endurance story that defines the Raider badge. The 64 GB memory ceiling matches the class median.
Where it falls short
Mobility is the flagged weakness (21, low band) with portability at 5.8 and the 2.9 kg body sealing the desk-bound verdict. Value posts 64.2 (mid), and performance reads 76.91 (high) on the mainstream-class CPU score — the GPU carries the gaming load, not the processor.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2022 cohort rate is 14.76% per year.
Alternatives to consider
The Raider GE67 (2022) at the same price carries the stronger 3070 Ti in a slightly lighter package; the Stealth GS77 (2022) matches the battery in a thinner flagship body with half the RAM. If the endurance-plus-panel combination is the target at lower weight, the Stealth 16 Studio (2023) at $922 is the cross-tier answer.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. An endurance-first big-screen gamer: flagship battery, top photo numbers, green game flags — with mobility and weight as the format's standing fee.
