The HP EliteBook 845 G9 is more affordable, lighter, and offers longer battery life, which makes it suitable for general use, especially if you're frequently on the move. It has a good keyboard and a high-resolution IPS screen that provides quality visuals for everyday tasks and moderate engineering work. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx is more expensive and heavier, but it provides superior gaming and engineering performance with a faster processor, more powerful graphics, a high-refresh rate OLED display ideal for fast motion and color-intensive tasks, and more storage out of the box. If gaming, 3D rendering, machine learning, or other GPU-intensive tasks are a priority, and you don't mind the lesser portability and battery life, then the MSI might better suit your needs.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the HP EliteBook 845 G9 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the HP EliteBook's screen offers clear images and vibrant colors due to its adequate resolution and brightness, but the MSI Raider steps ahead with even higher resolution and brightness, making the visuals more crisp and enjoyable. When it comes to engineering and design, both laptops have screens that represent a wide range of colors accurately, essential for detailed creative work, but the MSI might display colors slightly more true-to-life with a broader color gamut. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the HP falls short as its refresh rate is lower than what's preferred for smooth motion, whereas the MSI, though better suited for such tasks, still might not meet the highest standards sought by enthusiasts due to its own refresh rate limitations.

Sebastian Jentsch | July 2022
"The high-end version of the HP EliteBook 845 G9 with a Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS, 32GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD packs a lot of power, but is still quiet and cool enough to operate in noise-sensitive environments. Quiet, cool and drawing on a massive 40 watts from the APU at the same time, however, is not possible. The 14-incher only has a single-fan solution and it only just manages to keep an near unthrottled Ryzen 9 in check."

"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."
