I got specs for all GT Dominator / Titan on the spreadsheet, some on the GE Raider til I stopped being productive. No GS Raider specs on here, but I got the gist of it.
Yeah I am MSI now… ok i still love thinkpads but these things… honestly its just the power and the screen refresh rate. No its keyboard isn’t as great as an ThinkPad X300, maybe one day we will get something like that.
Anyways my main machine is a Raider GE78 HX 13V…
2.1GHz i7-13700HX
First HX CPU, big upgrade from Precision 7730’s 8th gen and WS65 9th Gen
Last desktop CPU was 4th gen lol… so much power now.
16GB RAM
Yeah I need to upgrade, league of legends and di.fm will freeze this PC
I’m thinking this is an issue with the ram or something, its not that often
Legit if i put the laptop to sleep, it will not freeze tho
1TB + 500GB
Nearly full on videos/photos. I need to upgrade and get external storage
I fucking am not making youtube content, stuck in that bind
Need to watch Federico Fellini’s 8 1/2
GTX 3070 16GB
For playing league it kicks ass. Froze when I played KoF 14 and havent played that since (game was meh)
The following prices are based on eBay’s Processor Filter.
What about Graphics cards? Well……. thats too far of a rabbit hole I want to dig. I cant lump all cards from a 1040 to a 1080 in one search and then give a price guide out of that. obviously people would want the higher end card, and assume they could get something at a similar price, when it would be drowned out by the inferior cards.
As always, my price guide is based in USD, laptops sold in America, to USA. I do have Worldwide shipping selected, so I will see Overseas, Canada & Mexico listings (not trusting Brazil and their customs), but I only get their results IF they ship to USSA.
Some models skip chassis numbers, but they like to keep them consistant
DT
Desktop Processor
MSI went desktop route until Intel brough the HX Series
9
Processor gen
Doesn’t always correlate tho
SG
Just a random string it seems
GE62VR 7RD
GE – Raider / Apache Series
6 – 15.6″ screen
Superstition for having 4 or 5 in the model name… idk why
Only one 16″ screen, thats the GE68
VR
GTX 1060 or 970 & higher equipped machine
VR in name was just dropped eventually
HX?
It has an HX processor
HX 12, HX 13, HX 14, HX Ultra 1, HX Ultra 2 etc
A…
Actuallly thats too hard to do
Some mean AMD Gen whatever Ryzen
Others mean… Ultra 1 or 2
Too complicated for me to make sense.
Titan 18
Stealth 16 AI
Raider 17
Yeah they just said fuck it sometime after 2023.
I think AI correlates to any CPU marketed with AI
A1 and A2 might be Ultra 1 or 2
they will probably change this later 😛
So in short, some laptops with higher numbers may have lower specs than an older chassis that had support for newer CPU/GPUs. The only benefit is... well idk lol

Entry
GT Series literally desktop replacements, oversize, mechanical keyboards at times GE are not as complicated, more plastic, smaller heatsink GS are sleek and thinner, so cooling performance comprimised WT, WE, WS are the workstation variants of the above, but don't usually have RGB keyboards or fast refresh rate screens
GP, Vector are a cheaper GE Raider GL, Pulse are a cheaper GP GF, Cyborg are a cheaper GS WP, WL, GF are the workstation copies of those 3 cheaper version laptops.
GV is the cheapest gaming laptop, though GF is a contender Word on the net is the Katana has a smaller heatsink than the Sword Supposedly the GP Crosshair is a translucent body GP Vector Stick with the top 3, yes hinges will still break.
Avail units are all GT62VR. Low price booted to bios and seems to be yanked of removable parts, has bad keyboard/touchpad and a broken jack. others seem to boot to windows.
GE62 Apache
All but like 5 seem to boot to OS, out of those, maybe only 3 seem to have issues, all others I’d expect to be fully working.
GS62
Model skipped
GP62 Leopard
6th/7th gen systems, 950M mostly, one 1060 at high price.
GL62 Budget
nada
GF62
nada
GV62
Low seems to boot to OS, below that expect for parts/fix.
lmao I just found out that my WS65 came with an underpowered charger. 150W instead of 230W.
Fuck lol, had this for a year and a half, never blew up.
EX+ is an avail listing for the lulz, they go up from there still. Nepatech had 18 auctions (3 laptops relisted over and over) starting at $373 shipped… ouch.
GT63 Titan
For repairs, keyboard broken, hinge cover missing, not tested after that, but comes with charger. No Parts available other than key cap replacements or skins
GE63 Raider
Mostly 10xx series, one 9th/2060 sold at high. EX+ should be 20×0 series, but might be 8th gen. RGB in name are 8th/9th. Under low price should be broken, otherwise these all came with OS.
GS63 Stealth
Low and up should be working, one machine had pressure spots on screen.
GP63 Leopard
few broken machines, a few more with fixable issues. 7 boot to OS.
GF63 Thin
Unfair as these can come with newer CPUs than the rest, so they are “more expensive” but being a cheaper built machine. Lot of 11th and 12th gen systems
In pretty damn good condition, new battery and charger.
GL72
Low is an auction only booted to OS, missing SSD and has a cracked case around the USB-C port (a bit more excessive than hairline). Linked seller, they have been coming up quite a bit in previous searches.
GF72 VR Stock photos, seller got 2 neg reviews and is 87.2% due to it… so maybe one bad employee… and almost all the other sold listings are actual photos of the item.
GV72
Low price needs parts, high is working, seller linked.
Low price is a not fair listing as its 2 titans and some rando MSI, that are all untested.
Wx75 Workstation
Low price is a broken unit… idk why it is, sounds like they just only booted it to bios and has hinge damage. what a deal, linked seller, they didnt want to deal with it lol.
