If you prioritize a combination of performance for intensive tasks like gaming or engineering and are okay with a higher price, the MSI Raider GE67Hx stands out with its powerful CPU and GPU, better screen for fast motion, and higher refresh rate, though it is heavier and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Dell Inspiron 14 7435 offers a lower price, greater portability due to its lighter weight and longer battery life, and is still capable for general use and multitasking, but it has less powerful hardware and a screen less suited for fast-motion visuals and intense gaming.

"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."

"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."
