When choosing between the ASUS Vivobook 16 and the MSI Raider GE67Hx, consider your primary use for the laptop. The ASUS Vivobook is generally more affordable and offers good performance for everyday use and light to medium work tasks. Its larger screen size may be preferred for productivity or multimedia consumption but can be less portable due to size and weight. On the other hand, the MSI Raider is built for high-end performance, especially in gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks, and its higher price reflects this. It typically has a more powerful processor, a better graphics card, and higher-speed memory, making it suitable for demanding applications. However, this can result in shorter battery life and less portability due to its heavy and thick design. If you prioritize performance over price and portability and plan to engage in intensive tasks, the MSI Raider would be a better choice. If you're looking for a balanced laptop for general use that's easier on the wallet and easier to carry around, the ASUS Vivobook would be the way to go. Give Feedback

How the ASUS Vivobook 16 and the MSI Raider GE67Hx compare to other laptops
Olivier Martin, Ryan Lim, Yannick Khong | May 2023
"The ASUS Vivobook 16 M1605 (2023) is a budget Windows laptop. It's available with various AMD Ryzen 5000 and 7000 U-series CPUs and integrated graphics. You can only get 8GB of RAM; however, there's an empty SO-DIMM slot if you want to upgrade it. It has an FHD+ (1920 x 1200) 16:10 IPS display, a full-size keyboard with a Numpad, a 720p webcam, and Wi-Fi 6E wireless connectivity. Ports include three USB-As, one USB-C, an HDMI, and a headphone jack. The USB-C supports charging but no video output."
"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."
