If you prioritize gaming performance and can afford a higher price, the MSI Stealth 17 with its more powerful graphics card would be a prime choice. However, if you're looking for something less expensive that still provides solid gaming and engineering capabilities, the MSI Raider GE67Hx offers a good balance. Both laptops have similar battery life, but the Stealth's larger screen size might reduce its portability slightly. The Raider is lighter, which might be preferable for carrying around. Additionally, the Raider has an OLED display which typically offers deeper blacks and more vivid colors than the IPS panel of the Stealth. Give Feedback

How the MSI Raider GE67Hx and the MSI Stealth 17 compare to other laptops
"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."
"The MSI Stealth 17 Studio is a laptop with a quiet RTX 4080 for almost every occasion. The MSI Stealth 17 Studio is equally capable of high-level media processing and playing current games. It remains pleasantly quiet, even if a few percentage points of power have had to be sacrificed in the process. But, it is not quite perfect: To some extent, the Stealth 17 is well thought out. It packs tons of graphics power and high-end components in a slim case. The laptop's cooling system can be set such that, noise-wise, it doesn't even reach low volume. However, small flaws cloud otherwise exceptionally positive impressions."
