If performance in 3D rendering, machine learning, or engineering tasks is a key concern, the HP Omen 17 with its more powerful GPU offers strong capabilities, and it's also suitable for intensive gaming. However, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, while slightly less capable in performance for those specific tasks, provides a superior display with higher brightness, contrast, and a faster refresh rate, which can enhance your overall multimedia experience. For portability, the MSI Raider is lighter and has better battery life. If you value screen quality and portability over the highest possible performance, the MSI Raider may be your preferred choice, albeit at a higher price point. Both options include similar storage and memory, coming with their own set of gaming and high-performance features. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the HP Omen 17 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the HP Omen 17 offers a clear and bright display with good resolution, which provides a comfortable viewing experience for everyday tasks such as browsing and video streaming.

"The HP Omen 17 (2022) gaming laptop has a stylish case and hardware with lots of potential. The HP Omen 17 is a fairly unobtrusive gaming laptop. A material combination of plastic and metal gives the case a high stability and a quality surface feel. The unspectacular design is pleasing and is hardly indicative of the laptop's high performance potential. The Intel Core i7-12700H in particular is able to perform well once again. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is also strong in the gaming notebook. Demanding games run smoothly in Full HD resolution. The HP Omen 17 is a good gaming laptop that delivers partly excellent performance. But even at this performance level, cheaper alternatives are available."

"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."
