The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro offers an undoubtedly solid gaming experience with its Nvidia RTX 4070, but for those who prioritize higher screen refresh rates and superior display quality, the MSI Raider GE67Hx stands out with its OLED panel, higher contrast ratio, and a display that covers more of the color gamut. In terms of portability, both laptops are similar in size and weight, although the MSI has a slight edge in battery life, which may be important for those needing to work away from a power outlet. If your focus is on intensive gaming with great visuals, the MSI might be the preferred choice, but for a balance between price and performance, especially if you're looking for ray tracing and DLSS features for gaming, the Lenovo could be more appealing.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you prioritize sharp images and vivid colors for tasks like browsing the web or working with documents, the high resolution and brightness of the Lenovo Legion Pro 5's screen will serve you well, but the MSI Raider GE67Hx takes it up a notch with even better brightness and clarity. For engineering and design work where accurate color representation is crucial, both laptops offer good coverage of professional color gamuts, ensuring your designs will look true to life. However, neither is optimal for gaming or 3D modeling, as their screens don't have the high refresh rates required for the smoothest visual experience in fast-paced scenarios.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers MSI Raider GE67Hx to be very good for general use, while the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is good.
The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is good for general use with its robust AMD processor, ample RAM, and IPS screen that offers strong colors and contrast, but its bulkiness and shorter battery life limit its portability. In contrast, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, though also strong in CPU and RAM, boasts a vibrant OLED screen with higher color accuracy and contrast, and benefits from a slightly lighter form and longer battery life, enhancing its portability while maintaining powerful performance.

How the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 and the MSI Raider GE67Hx compare to other laptops
"It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation."
"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."
