When choosing between the MSI Raider and the Titan, consider that the Raider offers a balance of cost and performance, suitable for general-use and gaming, while being easier to carry around. The Titan, on the other hand, while pricier, delivers top-tier performance for the most demanding tasks, including engineering and professional 3D or machine learning work, but it's bulkier, which reduces its portability. The extra investment in the Titan also typically comes with longer battery life and features that could benefit power users or professionals who need the extra computing muscle. Give Feedback

"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."
"With no new Nvidia GPU this year for laptops, MSI had to refresh everything surrounding the graphics card to make up for it. Users are getting a new 18-inch chassis design, new 14th gen Intel HX CPU, new AC adapter, larger keys, and a new 120 Hz HDR1000 mini-LED 4K display to accompany the high price tag. Most of these changes are a step up from last year's GT77, but users are ultimately getting the same gaming performance out of both models."
