The Lenovo Legion 7, being less expensive, still offers solid gaming and engineering performance with good battery life, but is heavier and less portable. The MSI Raider GE67Hx has slightly better overall performance for 3D, machine learning, and gaming along with a higher-quality display but has shorter battery life and is more expensive. Consider the Lenovo if budget and battery life are priorities, or the MSI if you need top-notch performance and display quality for tasks like high-end gaming or professional creative work.

"The Lenovo Legion 7 is a fast 16-inch gamer with 165 Hz display. The new Lenovo Legion 7 is a very good gaming notebook that, despite its comparatively compact compact 16-inch case, does not have to do without the most powerful components. Thanks to good cooling, no compromises are made in terms of performance. Both the Core i9-12900HX and the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti perform at a very high level."

"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."
