When choosing between the Gigabyte Aorus 17H and the MSI Raider GE67Hx, consider the following. If cost is a significant factor and you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Gigabyte model could be a better choice. However, if the MSI Raider offers superior performance or features that are important for your usage, like better graphics for gaming, more powerful processing for engineering tasks, or a higher-quality display, it may warrant the additional expense. Battery life and portability are also important; if you need a laptop that's easier to carry or has longer battery life, assess which of the two models better meets these needs. Keep in mind that higher performance laptops often have shorter battery life and can be heavier. Think about how you intend to use the laptop most and weigh these tradeoffs accordingly.

Peter Donnell | February 2023
"Overall though, it’s *lots of swearing* fast, seriously. For work, rendering, gaming, it doesn’t matter, this is a true weapon of performance that’s going to run rings around most high-end desktop systems. If you absolutely have to game at ultra-high refresh rates on the go (but within thinking distance of a plug socket), this is the ticket. I can’t see such an extreme being that appealing to everyone, but if you take your gaming seriously, or even professionally, there’s nothing else out there that comes close that you can still fit in your backpack and travel with."

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."
