If price is a major concern and you mainly engage in general use like web browsing and document editing, the HP 15" Laptop should suit your needs. However, it has less storage, lower performance, and a less impressive display. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx offers significantly better performance for 3D, machine learning, and gaming, plus higher screen quality and larger battery capacity, making it well suited for engineering and intensive gaming, but it is less portable and costs more. Choose the HP for simple tasks and savings, or the MSI for demanding applications and better multimedia experience at a higher price. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the HP 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the HP 15" provides adequate display clarity and brightness, but the MSI Raider's higher resolution and possibly better panel technology offer sharper images and more vivid colors. In engineering and design, the MSI's superior color coverage meets professional color standards, ensuring accurate color representation, which the HP may lack. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short as they lack high refresh rates required for smooth motion, though MSI's better resolution and panel type offer a slight edge in visual detail.

"Chances are high that the HP 15 is one of the first laptops to pop up when you search for an inexpensive notebook. Indeed, its price tag is very tempting for many, and of course, this is the reason for its popularity. However, the HP 15" suffers from poor performance due to low power consumption. On the bright side, one of the good things about it is the port selection. On the inside, this includes two SODIMM slots for memory, an M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage, and a SATA drive bay. However, the TN panel, and mediocre input devices are not ideal."
"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."
