The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is generally less expensive, with a high-resolution IPS display suited for a range of tasks, a very good battery, and a top-tier CPU and GPU combination that excels in general use and more intensive tasks like gaming or engineering. The MSI Raider GE67Hx comes at a somewhat higher price but offers double the storage, an OLED display which might be preferable for deeper blacks and vibrant colors, and is slightly lighter, potentially making it more suitable for those valuing screen quality and portability and who don't mind spending more.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for general use, while the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i is good.
The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro offers a solid balance with a good quality processor, sufficient memory, and a bright IPS screen, which makes it versatile for various tasks, but it has a moderate battery life and its weight is slightly on the heavier side, affecting portability. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx has a superior OLED screen with higher color accuracy and saturation, double the storage space, and a longer battery life, while also being lighter, which enhances its portability; however, it comes with a somewhat louder operating noise and heat management, which could be distracting during general use.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx and Lenovo Legion Pro 5i are both very good for gaming and AI, though the MSI Raider GE67Hx is somewhat better.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i's suitability for gaming and 3D tasks is attributed to its capable Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, which is beneficial for graphics-intensive applications, and a screen that refreshes 165 times per second, offering smoother visual transitions. Conversely, the MSI Raider GE67Hx stands out with its higher-end Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, providing considerable graphical power, and a screen with an even higher refresh rate of 240, which could provide an edge for ultra-smooth gameplay in fast-paced games.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i offers a bright, high-resolution display with a panel type that provides sharp imagery for everyday tasks and detailed visuals needed for engineering work, but it has a lower refresh rate which hampers the gaming and 3D modeling experience. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx boasts similar qualities with an even brighter screen and superior color accuracy for professional-grade engineering and design tasks, yet similarly falls short for gaming and 3D due to its refresh rate limitations. For both laptops, the focus on high resolution, panel quality, and color accuracy serves general use and creative work well but does not cater to the smooth visuals required for high-speed gaming and 3D work that depend heavily on a fast-refreshing display.

"The midpriced Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 follows some of our favorite gaming machines, including last year's model and the higher-end Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 tested earlier this year. But pedigree doesn't count for much in the computer world, and gaming laptops require a certain level of power and graphics performance to justify their prices. The Pro 5i Gen 8 just doesn't do that, offering middling CPU and GPU performance rather than the sort of muscle that would make it a great value."

"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."
