If you prioritize battery life and portability for tasks like document editing or web browsing, the Apple MacBook Pro 14 would be more suitable with its longer battery life and lighter weight. On the other hand, if your focus is on performance for activities such as gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning, and you don't mind a heavier laptop with shorter battery life, the MSI Raider GE67Hx would be a better choice because it has a more powerful dedicated GPU and high screen refresh rate ideal for these tasks. Both laptops have excellent build and screen quality, but the MSI's keyboard includes a number pad and customizable RGB lighting. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx and Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2023) are both very good for engineering and design, though the MSI Raider GE67Hx is somewhat better.
The Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2023) with its high-resolution Mini LED display and powerful Apple M2 Pro graphics is ideal for design tasks and has a robust and efficient CPU for engineering work, offering superior screen quality and low operating noise but with less portability due to its design and MacOS ecosystem. In contrast, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, which also has a strong CPU and high-end Nvidia RTX graphics, excels in engineering tasks with additional GPU power and features a high quality OLED screen that's larger, making it more suitable for detail-oriented work but it's heavier and bulkier, therefore less portable.

The Apple MacBook Pro 14 has a better screen than the MSI Raider GE67Hx for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation, while the MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen for gaming and AI.
The Apple MacBook Pro 14's screen stands out in general use and engineering due to its high resolution and brightness, along with an extensive color gamut that accurately reproduces a wide range of colors, essential for detailed design work. The MSI Raider GE67Hx, while also offering a high-quality display for general tasks and design with a great color range and high resolution, falls short in gaming and 3D environments because it doesn't offer the high refresh rates that ensure smooth motion and responsiveness. For 3D applications and gaming, where fluid visuals are crucial, a high refresh rate is key, and a lower refresh rate can impact the experience negatively.

Andreas Osthoff | January 2023
"In the Apple MacBook Pro 14 2023, the M2 Pro is slowed down. From the improved 5nm process, the new M2 Pro is a very solid upgrade. Graphics performance has increased by about 25% in tandem with a clear improvement in efficiency. The processor has also seen a performance leap of up to 20%, but this is accompanied by an increase in consumption of up to 25%. Fundamentally, Apple its maintaining its advantage over AMD and Intel, particularly in optimized applications where the results are very good in view of the comparatively low power consumption."

"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."
