The Lenovo Legion 5 offers good value and will save you some money while still providing solid performance for both general use and gaming, thanks to its capable processor and graphics card. However, the MSI Raider GE67Hx delivers top performance, especially for intensive tasks like 3D work or gaming, due to its high-end processor and graphics. You should also consider that the MSI has better display features which can be a boon for gaming and professional creative work. If maximum performance and premium features are a priority and you don't mind the extra cost, go for MSI. However, if you want a more budget-friendly option that still performs well, the Lenovo is a strong choice, especially for everyday tasks and moderate gaming. Keep in mind both laptops are similar in weight and size, meaning portability is quite comparable between them. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx and Lenovo Legion 5 15" are both very good for engineering and design, though the MSI Raider GE67Hx is somewhat better.
The Lenovo Legion 5 15" offers a robust AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia RTX GPU combo, sufficient for demanding engineering software, alongside a good quality IPS screen which is important for design accuracy but falls a bit short in portability and speaker quality. The MSI Raider GE67Hx packs a powerful Intel CPU and an Nvidia RTX GPU, along with a superior OLED screen for exceptional color range and contrast, also suitable for engineering tasks, and while it has a better keyboard and operates quieter, it is somewhat less portable due to its battery life.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion 5 15" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Lenovo Legion 5 15" offers a high-resolution display with good brightness and a panel type that's easy on the eyes for everyday tasks, but its lower refresh rate is a setback for gaming where smooth motion is key. The MSI Raider GE67Hx boasts a vibrant display with wide color gamut coverage, making it ideal for the precise color work required in engineering and design. However, despite its excellent specs for general use and professional tasks, its poor screen performance in the context of gaming is likely due to a subpar refresh rate that doesn't meet the fast-paced demands of 3D gaming environments.

Andreas Osthoff | September 2021
"The Lenovo Legion 5 15 is an affordable gaming laptop with a lot of power. The new AMD processor Ryzen 7 5800H offers plenty of performance and it is also very efficient. The combination with the fast 130W version of the GeForce RTX 3060 ensures high gaming performance. We also like the fast 165 Hz display with the 1080p resolution. The automatic graphics switching causes some problems with stutters, which are very annoying. If you do not need long battery runtimes, you should definitely deactivate the hybrid graphics mode in Lenovo's Vantage app. The Legion 5 15 is never silent."

"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."
