Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Core i9-12900HK at the heart of the MSI Raider GE76 is our first taste of Alder Lake in a portable system. Outright performance easily exceeds everything else on the market. The new Golden Cove P-Cores offer a significant uplift in terms of instructions-per-clock (IPC) and allow Intel to regain the single-thread performance crown.
Pros
- Outstanding single-threaded performance
- Great display
- Great performance
Cons
- Battery life could be better
- No Thunderbolt 4

Reviewer score 82% (normalized by Neofiliac)Core i9-12900HK is 35 percent faster than the 11th-gen Core i9. Laptops with two SSDs should use very little power unless it’s actively being accessed. We see a double-digit increase in performance, with a 15 percent to 19 percent increase in lightly threaded tasks.
Pros
- Extremely fast CPU performance
- Excellent battery life
- High-quality aluminum chassis
Cons
- No Thunderbolt 3 port
- No USB Type-C port
