The Intel Meteor Lake-H lineup maxes out at just 16 cores and 45W TDPs (PL1) while Raptor Lake-HX CPUs will max out at 24 cores and 55W+ TDP (PL1). This makes them perfect for the high-end gaming segment. While that doesn't mean that we won't get to see some high-end laptop configs with Meteor Lake like the one we just reported a few hours ago, the 14th Gen HX family will just be the better option for users who are looking for a portable desktop replacement.
