The MSI Raider GE67Hx offers robust performance at a more affordable price, making it an appealing choice for intensive tasks like gaming, given its high-quality display and dedicated graphics card. However, this comes with a heavier build and a shorter battery life, which may affect portability. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 18, while more expensive, brings a larger and higher-resolution screen, more RAM for multi-tasking, and a more powerful processor, which can be vital for high-end gaming and demanding professional applications. It also includes a facial recognition feature not found in the MSI. Both are gaming-oriented, but you should opt for the Razer if the budget allows and you need the highest specifications for performance, or choose the MSI for a balance between cost and power, with a slight compromise on portability and battery life.

"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."

"Razer made a powerful laptop in the Blade 18, showing off a beautiful and fast display and the same high-quality build we’ve come to expect from this product line. It’s also quite expensive, which is hardly a surprise, but bears repeating even in this price range. It’s pricier than the Scar 18 despite an inferior GPU and half the storage, so you really have to want the Blade 18’s design to justify the cost."
