The MSI Titan GT77 is a powerhouse with top-notch performance suited for intensive engineering tasks, 3D rendering, machine learning, and serious gaming, but it's large and heavy, making it less portable. It also comes at a higher price. The Razer Blade 15, while more affordable and portable with a higher portability score, offers great overall quality and is sufficient for general use and some gaming. However, it may not handle intensive tasks as smoothly as the MSI due to its less powerful processor and GPU. Consider the Titan if performance is critical and budget is less of an issue, or the Blade 15 for better portability and value. Give Feedback

The MSI Titan GT77 is very good for general use, while the Razer Blade 15 is good.
The MSI Titan GT77 outshines the Razer Blade 15 in general use with its more powerful CPU and greater RAM, making multitasking and demanding applications run smoother, and its superior screen quality provides a more vibrant and detailed visual experience; however, it is heavier and has lower portability, which could be a drawback for users who frequently travel. Conversely, the Razer Blade 15, though less potent in performance, offers a balance with its lighter weight and compact form factor, making it conducive for portability without significantly compromising on the general use experience.

The MSI Titan GT77 is best in class for gaming and AI, while the Razer Blade 15 is very good.
The MSI Titan GT77 stands out for gaming and 3D tasks due to its more powerful Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU and higher quality Mini LED screen, though with a lower 144Hz refresh rate which is still adequate for smooth gameplay, while the Razer Blade 15, with a lesser Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti and a standard IPS screen, offers a higher 240Hz refresh rate that benefits fast-paced gaming but may not provide the same level of detail and color accuracy.

The MSI Titan GT77 is best in class for engineering and design, while the Razer Blade 15 is very good.
The MSI Titan GT77 surpasses the Razer Blade 15 for engineering and design due to its higher-end CPU, twice as much RAM, and a more powerful GPU, which are crucial for demanding software used in these fields; additionally, its superior screen quality with higher resolution and brightness enhances visual precision. While the Razer Blade 15 offers excellent portability and high-quality input devices, its performance characteristics, though very good, fall short when compared to the MSI Titan GT77’s capability to handle intense workloads, especially in terms of computational power and visual detail.

The MSI Titan GT77 has a better screen than the Razer Blade 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The MSI Titan GT77 boasts exceptional resolution and brightness, making it a solid choice for general tasks and engineering design, where detail and accurate color representation are crucial. However, its lower refresh rate affects gaming and 3D performance. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 15's very good resolution and color accuracy satisfy both general and engineering uses, but like the MSI, its gaming and 3D experiences are hampered by a less optimal refresh rate.

"The MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"The 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
