Performance scores
MSI Raider GE68 (2023) — the battery-led 4060 of the $922 tier
The Raider GE68 (2023) at $922 is the 16-inch 2023 Raider: a Core i7-13700HX, a GeForce RTX 4060 (8 GB) and 64 GB of RAM. The flagged strengths are battery capacity at 99.9 Wh (+40.7% above the class median), reliability at 71, and mobility at 34; the verdict records no serious weak spots for the class.
Where it holds up
The 99.9 Wh battery is the story — shared only with the GE78 HX in this batch's $922 tier — and around it the sheet reads office 98.84 (top), photo design 84 (high), performance 80.29 (high) and gaming 77 (high). The RTX 4060 clears the recommended bar for Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V and Rainbow Six Siege, and the modeling/CAD pair posts 66 (high) — respectable for a prior-generation mid card. Value reads 64.35 (mid).
Where it falls short
The clean verdict needs its footnote: portability nonetheless reads 16.7, a low-band figure that comes with the 99.9 Wh cell and the 16-inch body. Modeling at 66 and value at 64.35 sit high/mid rather than top — the honest distance to the 2024 machines.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2023 cohort rate is 16.26% per year — three years already priced in.
Alternatives to consider
The Raider GE78 HX (2023) at the same $922 steps up to an RTX 4070 in a 17-inch body at portability 8.3; the Raider GE68 HX (2024) at $1,152 brings the newer platform and 96 GB for a fifth more money.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The endurance pick of the $922 tier: a 99.9 Wh battery under a recommended-bar 4060, for buyers who game unplugged more than they carry. Mobility at 34 (+17.2%) lands above the class median — the 16-inch body carries no flagged weight penalty.
