The MSI Raider GE67 HX (2022) is a high-end gaming laptop. It sits between the lower-end Katana GF series and the top-end Titan GT series in MSI's laptop lineup and replaces the MSI Raider GE66. It's nearly identical to its predecessor in design and feature, as it's mostly an internal upgrade to Intel 12th Gen. HX CPUs and faster NVIDIA 30-series GPUs, including the RTX 3070 Ti, 3080, and 3080 Ti. Unlike the GE66, this new model has a single display option, a 240Hz QHD OLED panel with full DCI P3 coverage but no variable refresh rate.

Our Verdict

0.0
School 

The MSI Raider GE67 HX is okay for school use. It has a sharp 15.6-inch display, a comfortable keyboard, and plenty of processing power to handle any workload, which is great for students in technical fields like 3D animation. However, it's a bulky device that's hard to carry around, and its battery lasts only around five hours of light use, meaning you'll have to carry its heavy charger, too.

Pros
  • CPU and GPU can handle demanding workloads.
  • Keyboard feels great to type on.
  • Sharp display provides enough room for multitasking.
  • Wide port selection.
Cons
  • Bulky and heavy.
  • Loud fan noise.
  • Short battery life.
  • Display isn't flicker-free.
0.0
Gaming 

The MSI Raider GE67 HX is excellent for gaming. It has an OLED display that delivers a clear image in fast-moving scenes, and its CPU and GPU can push high frame rates in demanding titles. It also has a comfortable keyboard, and its outstanding port selection includes Ethernet and USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports. Unfortunately, it gets hot and loud under load, and while its memory and SSD are user-replaceable, they're hard to access.

Pros
  • CPU and GPU can handle demanding workloads.
  • Minimal performance loss under load.
  • Keyboard feels great to type on.
  • High-refresh screen displays clear image.
  • User-replaceable memory and storage.
  • Wide port selection.
Cons
  • Loud fan noise.
  • Display isn't flicker-free.
0.0
Multimedia 

The MSI Raider GE67 HX is okay for media consumption. Its OLED display gets bright enough to combat glare in most settings and produces inky blacks and clear motion. It also has full DCI P3 coverage, making it suitable for viewing HDR content. However, it's a bulky laptop that's hard to carry around, and the battery lasts less than five hours of video playback. Also, the speakers sound boxy and unnatural.

Pros
  • OLED screen displays a sharp image with inky blacks and vibrant colors.
  • Decent color accuracy out of the box.
  • Display is suitable for viewing HDR content.
  • Speakers get reasonably loud.
Cons
  • Bulky and heavy.
  • Speakers sound boxy and unnatural.
  • Short battery life.
  • Display isn't flicker-free.
0.0
Workstation 

The MSI Raider GE67 HX is outstanding for use as a workstation. Its CPU and GPU can handle nearly every type of workload, including tasks like video editing and 3D graphics. It has a sharp OLED display with full DCI P3 coverage, a comfortable keyboard, a fast SSD for quick file transfers, and a wide port selection that includes HDMI 2.1 and USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports. However, it gets hot and loud under load, and while its memory and storage are user-replaceable, they're hard to access.

Pros
  • CPU and GPU can handle demanding workloads.
  • Minimal performance loss under load.
  • Keyboard feels great to type on.
  • User-replaceable memory and storage.
  • Wide gamut display is suitable for color-critical work.
  • Wide port selection.
Cons
  • Loud fan noise.
  • Display isn't flicker-free.
0.0
Business 

The MSI Raider GE67 HX is good for business use. It has a 15.6-inch display providing plenty of space for multitasking, a comfortable keyboard that you can type on for extended periods, and plenty of ports for peripherals and external displays. Its CPU is more than powerful enough to handle productivity tasks like text processing, spreadsheets, and presentations, and it has a high-end GPU if you need to do some video editing. However, it's a bulky device that's hard to carry around, and its battery lasts only around five hours of light use.

Pros
  • CPU and GPU can handle demanding workloads.
  • Keyboard feels great to type on.
  • Sharp display provides enough room for multitasking.
  • Wide port selection.
  • Good webcam for video calls.
Cons
  • Bulky and heavy.
  • Loud fan noise.
  • Short battery life.
  • Display isn't flicker-free.

    Popular Laptop Comparisons

    Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021)

    Track

    The MSI Raider GE67 HX (2022) is better than the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021). The MSI has a much better 240Hz OLED display and is available with more powerful CPUs and GPUs that can push higher frame rates. It also has a faster SSD, which helps shorten loading times in games, and its battery lasts longer. However, the Lenovo doesn't get as hot or loud under load.

    ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022)

    Track

    Although the MSI Raider GE67 HX (2022) and the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022) are both gaming laptops, they're quite different. The MSI is a larger and bulkier laptop that prioritizes performance over portability, so if you don't intend on using the laptop on the go, the MSI is a better choice, as you'll get a better gaming experience overall. You also have to consider the type of games you play when making your purchasing decision. If you play NVIDIA-sponsored games more often, it's better to go with the MSI, and if you play AMD-sponsored titles more often, the ASUS is a better choice. The MSI has a better 240Hz OLED display, and its wider port selection includes an Ethernet port and Thunderbolt 4 support, which the ASUS lacks.

    Dell Alienware m15 R3 (2020)

    Track

    The MSI Raider GE67 HX (2022) is better than the Dell Alienware m15 R3 (2020). The MSI is a newer device, so it's available with newer and faster CPUs and GPUs. It also has longer battery life and supports Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1, whereas the Dell is limited to Thunderbolt 3 and HDMI 2.0.

    Razer Blade 14 (2022)

    Track

    The MSI Raider GE67 HX (2022) and the Razer Blade 14 (2022) are both high-end gaming laptops. The MSI is a better choice if you're only looking to get the best performance, as it's available with faster CPUs, and its GPUs operate at a higher wattage. The MSI also has a better display with a faster 240Hz refresh rate and a wider port selection that includes Thunderbolt 4 support and Ethernet. However, if you plan on using the laptop on the go, the Razer might be a better option because it's more portable.
