If you value a better screen for activities like watching movies or photo editing, the MSI Raider GE67Hx with its OLED display may be the better option. However, the Eluktronics RP-15 tends to cost less while providing similar core performance for general and engineering use. It also features a newer GPU which can be advantageous for gaming and machine learning tasks. The MSI has a larger battery, yet it doesn't necessarily translate to significantly longer battery life. In terms of portability, both laptops are comparable, but the MSI is slightly heavier and comes with a heavier power brick, which could be a factor if you frequently carry your laptop. Both have high-quality keyboards, but the MSI is rated slightly better in this department. If you're a serious gamer or do a lot of video conferencing, the MSI's higher refresh rate display and better webcam and speaker quality might be compelling, despite its higher price tag.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the Eluktronics RP-15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Eluktronics RP-15 and MSI Raider GE67Hx both have screens with strong resolution and brightness which make them suitable for everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos, with the Raider slightly eclipsing the RP-15 in overall display quality. When it comes to engineering and design, the MSI Raider's higher color gamut covers a broader range of colors crucial for precision work, outperforming the RP-15 which, while very good, might not offer the same level of color accuracy. However, for gaming and 3D applications that benefit from a high refresh rate, both laptops fall short, as their screens do not refresh as quickly as gaming-specific models, which could hinder the smoothness of fast-paced visuals.

How the Eluktronics RP-15 and the MSI Raider GE67Hx compare to other laptops
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."
"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."
