If performance for intensive tasks like engineering, 3D rendering, or gaming is a priority and you are willing to invest more, the MSI Raider is the better choice, with a high-end processor and graphics card. It also has a high-quality OLED screen, perfect for color-sensitive work, but it weighs more and has a shorter battery life which affects its portability. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook Go is notably less expensive, lighter, and has longer battery life, ideal for general use, but it has lower performance capabilities with a basic processor and less storage, and its screen and build quality are not as good as the MSI Raider's.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15, with its lower-end Intel Celeron CPU and basic RAM, is less capable for demanding tasks and multitasking compared to the MSI Raider GE67Hx, which sports a powerful Intel i7 CPU and higher RAM, offering robust performance. Moreover, the MSI has superior screen quality, with a high-resolution OLED display and better color coverage, which enhances the visual experience significantly over the ASUS's TN panel; however, the MSI is heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable than the ASUS.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15's poor gaming and 3D performance can be attributed to its basic Intel UHD Graphics 600 GPU and lower screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which are not suited for demanding graphics and fast-paced action. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for these tasks due to its high-end Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU and a much higher screen refresh rate of 240Hz, providing smoother visuals and better handling of graphic-intensive games and 3D applications.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15, with an Intel Celeron N4020 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and Intel UHD Graphics 600, falls short for engineering and design due to underpowered hardware and a basic TN display, which lacks the sharpness and color accuracy needed.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you're concerned with everyday tasks like browsing or watching videos, the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 may disappoint due to its inferior panel type, lower resolution, and dimmer display, whereas the MSI Raider GE67Hx, with its superior panel, higher resolution, and brightness, provides a more vibrant and clear viewing experience. For professionals in engineering and design, who need a wide color spectrum for precise work, the ASUS' limitations in covering color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB can be a drawback, while the MSI stands out with its excellent color accuracy. However, if your primary focus is gaming or working with 3D applications, the MSI Raider GE67Hx may not satisfy due to a lower refresh rate, despite its good resolution and panel type, while the ASUS is even less suitable in this regard due to the same reasons.

"The Asus Vivobook Go 15 is a good option if you’re looking for one device to tackle a bunch of smaller problems. For simple school studies, portable evening entertainment or distractions, and getting household admin or light office workloads out of the way, it’s a great little package with respectable battery life, and a great contender for the advent of cloud gaming."
"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."
