If you prioritize a larger screen and slightly better performance for 3D, machine learning, and engineering tasks, the MSI Vector GP76 may suit you despite its heavier weight and shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 15 offers a higher resolution display with better color accuracy, making it ideal for tasks that require visual detail, and it is more portable with a longer battery life, although it comes with less RAM. Both have ample storage, powerful processors, and are similarly priced, so your choice should be based on whether portability, screen quality, or performance is your priority. Give Feedback

The Razer Blade 15 has a better screen than the MSI Vector GP76 for general use, and engineering and design.
The MSI Vector GP76 provides a balance in screen quality that suits general computing and engineering thanks to its resolution and brightness, but its lower refresh rate makes it less ideal for the fast-paced visuals needed in gaming and 3D work. The Razer Blade 15 shines in both general use and engineering design with its high-resolution display that offers vibrant colors and brightness, yet for gaming and 3D tasks, its screen falls short due to a refresh rate that doesn't fully support fluid motion. For users prioritizing color accuracy in professional creative work or desiring crisp visuals for daily tasks, these laptops excel, but dedicated gamers may find the screens less responsive to their needs.

Marvin Gollor | May 2022
"The MSI Vector GP76 12UGS is a gaming laptop on speed. The advantages are clear: The Vector GP76 is a real gamer with its 360 Hz display and super-fast response times. In addition, the Core i7-12700H has double the power of the CPU in its predecessor and another highlight is the Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a real power consumption of 150 watts. This places the device in the top range of our database. The Vector can also operate rather quietly, offers a full sound range, improved battery runtimes, a key-configurable RGB keyboard, a very stable chassis and good upgrade options. Moreover, the display produces a nice, rich and clear picture."

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."
