If you need a laptop with high-end performance suitable for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the MSI Raider GE67Hx offers a powerful processor and graphics card, better suited for those requirements. However, it is heavier and has shorter battery life, making it less portable. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook 15 is more budget-friendly, lighter, and offers longer battery life, making it a good choice for general use, like browsing and office tasks, but it's not intended for high-performance activities such as gaming or professional creative work. The MSI also has a higher-quality display, which is better for tasks that require color accuracy and sharp detail. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook 15 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook 15 offers fair general use partially because it has a less powerful CPU and less RAM compared to the MSI Raider GE67Hx, which impacts performance, and also features a lower quality screen and less storage space. However, the Vivobook is more portable due to its lighter weight and offers greater battery life, whereas the MSI Raider has superior screen quality, a higher-performing CPU, more RAM for better multitasking, but is heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook 15 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook 15, with its i3 processor, integrated UHD graphics, and 8GB of RAM, is less equipped for demanding engineering software compared to the MSI Raider GE67Hx, which boasts a more powerful i7 processor, discrete RTX 3070 Ti GPU, and 16GB of RAM. Additionally, the Vivobook’s IPS screen and good color range are satisfactory, but the Raider’s superior OLED display with excellent color accuracy and higher contrast ratio make it more suitable for precise design work.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook 15, with its reasonable resolution and brightness, offers adequate display quality for everyday tasks like browsing and video streaming but falls short for precision work or immersive gaming due to limited color range and lower refresh rates. The MSI Raider GE67Hx, boasting a high-resolution, bright screen with wide color gamuts, ensures sharp and vivid imagery, making it ideal for engineering and design professionals requiring color accuracy but fails to deliver the ultra-high refresh rates critical for smooth rendering in fast-paced 3D environments. Both laptops have their strengths and weaknesses; the Vivobook is cost-effective for casual users while the Raider impresses in professional settings, but gamers should consider other options dedicated to 3D performance.

"The Asus VivoBook 15 is a quiet office notebook with a strong screen. However, the VivoBook 15 still has room for improvement. Office and internet applications as well as simple games do not pose any major challenges for the VivoBook - this is ensured by the built-in combination of Ryzen 7 5700U APU and 16 GB of RAM. Heat and noise emissions are acceptable. But, the laptop has weaknesses that should not be present at this level: lack of keyboard lighting, a slow memory card reader, no fast USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 4) with Power Delivery and DisplayPort. Battery runtimes can only be described as average."
"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."
