The Dell XPS 15 is generally less expensive, offers longer battery life for everyday use, and has a higher portability score, making it suitable for those who prioritize a balance between performance and mobility. Its screen is well-suited for general use, but it's not built with intense gaming in mind. The MSI Raider GE67Hx, on the other hand, is more costly but comes with a larger storage, a high-refresh-rate OLED screen, and a more powerful Nvidia graphics card. It excels at 3D and machine learning tasks, intensive gaming, and engineering applications, but this comes at the cost of heavier weight and shorter battery life. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for gaming and AI, while the Dell XPS 15 is only fair.
The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for gaming and 3D largely due to its powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics unit and a high screen refresh rate of 240, which enables smoother visual performance in fast-paced games and more fluid rendering in 3D tasks. In comparison, the Dell XPS 15 is considered good for similar tasks, supported by its Intel Arc A370M GPU and a standard refresh rate of 60, which still delivers a decent gaming and 3D experience but may not be as smooth or visually responsive as the MSI Raider GE67Hx.

"The 2023 Dell XPS 15 is more or less exactly what you'd expect from the company flagship. Its fresh components deliver measurably superior power and longevity, while the machine's premium build and design remain intact. It may not be overly exciting, but XPS loyalists and upgraders should be more than happy."

"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."
