The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the Gigabyte Aorus 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you primarily use your laptop for everyday activities like browsing the web, office work, or watching videos, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, with its high resolution and bright display, will offer a crisp and vibrant experience. For professionals in engineering and design who need accurate colors for their work, the MSI's excellent coverage of color gamuts will ensure that the colors you see on screen closely match print and other mediums. However, if you're into fast-paced gaming or working with 3D applications, neither laptop would be ideal due to their lower refresh rates, which means less fluid motion and potential visual lag during high-speed scenes.

How the Gigabyte Aorus 15 and the MSI Raider GE67Hx compare to other laptops
"The Gigabyte Aorus 15 is a power-hungry gaming beast. The Aorus 15 is designed to run games at QHD and high to max settings. But it also cuts a good figure in other demanding applications such as video editing and rendering. This is made possible by the Core i7 12700H and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop inside the machine. A lightning-fast PCIe 4.0 SSD (1 TB) allows for short loading times."
"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."
