The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 is more budget-friendly and offers good battery life, making it suitable for general use, with enough performance for everyday tasks and a touch-enabled screen. It is also more portable due to its lighter weight. However, its performance for 3D tasks, machine learning, or engineering software is limited. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, while more expensive, delivers significantly higher performance suitable for 3D rendering, gaming, machine learning, and engineering applications. It has a superior screen with high refresh rates and better color coverage, more storage, and additional features like ray tracing and DLSS. However, it is heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable. If performance is a priority and the higher price is justified, the MSI is the better choice; if not, the Lenovo is more economical and easier to carry around. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you engage in general tasks like web browsing or document editing, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5's screen will suffice due to its satisfactory brightness and resolution, making images and text clear and easy to read. However, professionals in engineering or design fields may find the color representation of the IdeaPad insufficient, as it doesn't cover a wide range of colors that are essential for precise visual work. On the other hand, the MSI Raider has a display that boasts vibrant colors and high resolution, perfect for detail-oriented tasks, but its lower refresh rate might not be the best fit for 3D applications or high-end gaming that require smoother on-screen motion.

Marcus Schwarten | August 2021
"The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 is convincing due to its long battery life. The device scores points especially with its large battery and long battery runtimes combined with its low consumption. The CPU and GPU perform in the test as one would expect, and in line with what was familiar from the somewhat smaller 14-inch sister model, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14."

"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."
