Choosing between the Gigabyte Aorus 17G and the MSI Raider GE67Hx depends on your preference for certain features. The Aorus 17G has a larger screen and potentially lower portability due to its size and weight. It's also usually more expensive. On the other hand, the Raider GE67Hx offers a higher resolution and higher quality display with OLED technology, which is excellent for vibrant colors and contrast, making it better for creative work and gaming. However, it generally has shorter battery life and may be more portable due to its smaller size and lighter weight. If you prefer a bigger display and don't mind the extra weight and size, go for the Aorus 17G. If a high-quality display is crucial and you value portability and a bit of cost savings, the Raider GE67Hx could be the better option. Give Feedback

NotebookCheck

Sascha Mölck | June 2021
"The Aorus 17G isn't among the top RTX 3080 laptops due to its relatively low TGP of 105 watts. The device's gaming performance is average for an RTX 3080. For maximum performance, competitors like the Lenovo Legion 7 or the Alienware m17 R4 are recommended With the Aorus 17G, Gigabyte delivers a well-rounded gaming laptop. However, the device generates a high noise level. Throttling is not an issue. The CPU and GPU can develop their performance uniformly. Nevertheless, the device produces a lot of noise under load - more than many competitors."

Francisco Lahoz | October 2022
"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."
