Are there any alternatives?

Many of the latest gaming laptops in 2022 will use this same combination of graphics cards and processors. However, I have not tested many of those. Laptops similar to the GE76 Raider include the Alienware m17, ROG Strix G17, Razer Blade 17, and many more.

　　

How long will it last?

Gaming laptops usually last around four or five years. It can last longer if your usage isn’t as heavy. The MSI GE76 Raider should future-proof you for a few generations of processors and graphics cards. Even the heaviest games play well on this, and build quality is solid.

　　MSI offers a standard one-year limited warranty on its laptops, though it depends on the retailer you pick it up from.

　　

Should you buy this?

Yes, but know what you are getting into. This is a laptop that puts performance first and doesn’t bother with niceties.
