The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro is less expensive, lighter and offers longer battery life, making it a good fit for general use and portability, with ample performance for everyday tasks. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, while more expensive and heavier, includes a more powerful processor and graphics card, as well as a higher refresh rate screen, which makes it well-suited for intensive gaming, 3D rendering or machine learning, and engineering applications. Its screen is better equipped for fast motion and color reproduction, but be aware that its battery life is shorter, which may limit mobility. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | October 2021
"The main selling point of the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro versus a regular IdeaPad Slim 7 is its faster Core H-series CPU. In reality, the Core i7-11370H is only marginally faster than the U-series Core i7-1165G7 to the point where most users are not likely to notice the benefits. The slight performance uptick comes at the cost of slightly higher power consumption as well meaning owners will have to deal with potentially warmer temperatures or louder fans to compensate. Unless if you happen to be a power user, then the regular non-Pro model will be more than enough. Once you go 90 Hz, you can't go back."

"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."
