The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for gaming and AI, while the Dell XPS 13 is only fair.
The MSI Raider GE67Hx excels in gaming and 3D tasks due to its high-performance Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics processing unit which supports advanced features like ray tracing, and it has a high screen refresh rate, making motion smoother during fast-paced gaming. The Dell XPS 13, while suitable for less intensive games and 3D tasks, is limited by its less powerful Intel i7-1250U Iris Xe integrated graphics and a standard refresh rate screen which is not as optimal for fast-paced visuals.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the Dell XPS 13 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Dell XPS 13's good screen quality is due to its high resolution and bright display, making text and images sharp and vivid, yet it may lag behind in refresh rates, affecting fast-paced gaming or 3D applications. The MSI Raider GE67Hx provides excellent screen quality for both general use and engineering, as its high resolution, bright panel, and wide color gamuts ensure detailed and color-accurate visuals critical for professional design tasks. However, despite its excellent resolution and panel type, the Raider's lower refresh rate might not satisfy users looking for the smoothest experience in gaming or 3D rendering.

Monica Chen | April 2023
"In the past, the XPS 13 was a hands-down contender for the best laptop on the market. But the Apple-silicon MacBook has since barrelled onto the scene, and it wipes the floor with most of the ultraportable Windows laptops that cross my desk on a daily basis. This XPS is no exception. Compared to the M2 MacBook Air, battery life is worse."

"If you've wanted to dip your toes into PC gaming but can't let go of your console roots, the MSI Raider GE67 HX stakes out an attractive middle ground between the speed and versatility of PC gaming and the comfort and ease of a console. If you can overlook its noisy fans and chintzy touchpad, the Raider provides a powerhouse entertainment experience with an OLED screen that tops most household TVs. It's not cheap, but this gaming machine is more than the sum of its parts."
