The Lenovo Legion 9i offers top-of-the-line performance with a stronger processor and graphics card, larger RAM, and an advanced Mini LED screen, making it suited for the most demanding tasks like engineering, 3D rendering, and machine learning. However, it's a more expensive and heavier option with less battery life. The MSI Raider GE67Hx, on the other hand, is less pricey, more portable, and offers a high refresh rate OLED display which is great for gaming and general use, but it has a less powerful processor, less RAM, and an older graphics card, limiting its performance in very intensive tasks. Both have sizable screens, ample storage and a good array of ports, but the Lenovo's higher price reflects its superior performance and screen technology, while the MSI prioritizes a balance between cost and capability.

Matthew Buzzi | December 2023
"The Lenovo Legion 9i is meant as a top-end flagship showcase for enthusiasts, and on that, it delivers. You'll find flashier designs in this price tier—Razer’s all-metal build in a similarly sized laptop like the Blade 16, or monstrous 18-inch machines—but this is a well-thought-out laptop. The chassis is trim for a 16-inch powerhouse, the lid is unique, and bespoke liquid cooling takes performance to the next 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."
