Beast! However the Smart TouchPad is okay . . .

This is the MSI Raider GE78HX - SmartTP version.

The computer is great! Runs really well, and the build quality is great.
This version has the Smart TouchPad. I believe the Raider is the only laptop with this feature on the market.

I would not suggest getting the SmartTP version. In doing so you lose the matrix light bar :(.
The SmartTP is quite useful however. I use it frequently for my workflow. It's a little finicky, but you'll get the hang of it.

TL;DR
Great laptop all around, very powerful.
However the SmartTP version is not the right fit for everyone. If you want shortcuts and dont care for the RGB matrix light bar, then this is for you.

Battery disconnected on MSI Raider GE78HX SmartTP 13VG-057US

After I received my Raider there was no battery icon nor would it run on battery. Support sent a RMA NE685-0-01. I expected battery disconnected. With tech support permission i removed the back cover and discovered it was unplugged. In addition, the plug was bent. I carefully straightened it out and reinserted. Problem solved. The laptop should of been tested in battery mode prior to shipment. Please cancel my RMA.
