If you prioritize battery life and portability for general use, and prefer a more budget-friendly option, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is suitable as it is lighter and offers a longer-lasting battery. However, if you are into intensive engineering tasks, 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, and are willing to invest more for higher performance, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, with its more powerful processor, graphics card, and additional RAM, will handle these demands much better, although it is heavier and has shorter battery life. The MSI also has a better quality display, but the Lenovo offers a touchscreen which the MSI lacks. Give Feedback

Olivier Martin, Ryan Lim, and John Peroramas | May 2023
"The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i is decent for use as a workstation. Its Intel CPU and integrated graphics can only handle light productivity tasks, not demanding workloads like video editing or 3D graphics. You also can't do any color-critical work because the available displays have a narrow color gamut. It has a good port selection, but its USB-C lacks Thunderbolt 4 support. On the upside, it has a comfortable keyboard and doesn't get hot or loud under load."

"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."
