The MSI Raider GE66 has a better screen than the MSI Raider GE67Hx for software development, while the MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The MSI Raider GE66 has a panel with good resolution and brightness, making it suitable for general tasks and engineering where color accuracy and detail are key. However, for gaming and 3D work, its lower refresh rate limits the smoothness and responsiveness of visual content. In contrast, the MSI Raider GE67Hx offers superior color reproduction and sharper resolution for demanding engineering and design applications, but like the GE66, it falls short for gaming due to a refresh rate that doesn't match the needs of high-speed, immersive visuals.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx and MSI Raider GE66 are both very good for gaming and AI.
The MSI Raider GE66 and GE67Hx are acclaimed for gaming and 3D due to their powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPUs and high screen refresh rates of 240Hz, which are crucial for smooth visuals and fast-paced action. While both have excellent GPUs and screen refresh rates, the GE67Hx stands out with an OLED display offering better screen quality and slightly higher sRGB and Adobe RGB color space coverage, resulting in more vibrant images, albeit such enhancements might consume battery life more rapidly than the IPS screen of the GE66.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx and MSI Raider GE66 are both very good for engineering and design.
The MSI Raider GE66 features a powerful Intel i7 processor, ample 32GB RAM, and an Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, matched with an IPS screen that ensures solid color accuracy and a high refresh rate for smooth visuals, making it well-suited for engineering and design tasks. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx includes a slightly more advanced Intel i7 processor and the same high-end Nvidia GPU but has an OLED display with superior contrast and color range, though with half the RAM at 16GB, which may affect multitasking performance; both sacrifice some portability and have moderate operating noise, but offer quality keyboards and speakers.

"The MSI Raider GE66 12UHS notebook passes with flying colors. The GE66 is a high-end notebook with strong performance. The keyboard and trackpad are still very good and score well with precise inputs as well as high build quality. Thanks to a new liquid metal cooling solution, the Intel Core i9 12900HK brings a performance increase of around 50 percent over the predecessor's Intel Core i9 10980HK. The installed graphics card in our device delivers up to 30 percent higher frame rates than the RTX 2070 Super in the MSI GE66 10SFS."

"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."
