MSI GE65 Raider with RTX2060 light review
The new MSI GE65 Raider that I have now is powered with 240hz monitor with high color accuracy, powered with the RTX2060 which is consider the lowest end of the laptop RTX series right now. Nevertheless, i am here to share my experience and a light testing with some games that I played.
But first of all, just showing the outlook of this laptop:
a 15'6 inch thin bezel laptop with a mixture of Metallic and plastic build for it's Chassis and it weight only around 2.2kg, build with per key RGB keyboard

Thin Bezel

With the thin bezel design in the recent laptops, it make the original bezel become bigger than it's original. And it feel much more sturdier than usual laptops, comparing it to my older version MSI also much studier.
Hinge

MSI's laptop have the issue of weak hinge, but from the test and feel of this GE65, it feels very sturdy, but only time knows how long it will last and i will further update on this during my usage.
IO Ports
Keyboard and Trackpad

Although the trackpad is not as good as the GS or Prestige series upon testing, but if you are not majorly using trackpad, you will not pay any concern to it unless you are using it often.
Left and right IO ports with the lighted USB port

With the lighted USB does indeed to easier to find the ports, and the body itself is small which is easier to carry around too.
even this is a 15'6 inch laptop, they still manage to squeeze a number pad in it, yet the keyboard space still comfy to type on
Bottom Side

In this new Raider, they have made the bottom area with more ventilation hole which you can feel the air suction through the bottom, and the overall temperature of the laptop during game indeed is low.
