Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" vs MSI Raider GE67Hx

The MSI Raider GE67Hx edges out the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 by packing a more powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU and a higher screen refresh rate, enhancing gaming and 3D performance, but it's heavier and has a shorter battery life. While the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 offers good gaming capabilities with its Nvidia RTX 3060 and respectable refresh rate, it benefits from better portability and longer battery life, though its GPU and screen refresh rate aren't as impressive as the MSI's.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 boasts a potent AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU and an Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, with an IPS screen known for reliable color reproduction and wide viewing angles, making it suitable for engineering and design; however, the MSI Raider GE67Hx's advantage lies in a more powerful Intel i7-12800HX CPU and a superior Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, as well as a higher-resolution OLED display, offering exceptional screen quality for detailed design work. Although both laptops are equipped with similar RAM, the MSI's larger storage, better screen, and higher performance components justify its classification as very good for such tasks, at the cost of being heavier and less portable compared to the Lenovo.

PerfectRec’s Content Creation Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for photo editing, video editing and other content creation tasks.

For general use, the Lenovo Legion Slim has good screen quality due to its respectable resolution and brightness which make for clear and visible content, but the MSI Raider's excellent screen surpasses this with higher brightness and sharper resolution, making everything from text to images more vivid and detailed. Engineering and design work benefits from the MSI's wider color gamut, ensuring more accurate color representation which is crucial for such tasks, while the Lenovo's somewhat narrower gamut still provides decent color fidelity. However, both laptops fall short for Gaming and 3D because while they have the resolution and panel type to provide a decent picture, their lower refresh rates fail to deliver the smooth motion that fast-paced visuals require.

Battery life estimate is based on a mix of common use patterns. More portable and higher performing laptops tend to have less battery life.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 offers a balance of performance and portability with a capable AMD processor, sufficient RAM, and a high-refresh-rate IPS screen, making it a good option for general use with a focus on mobility without sacrificing screen quality. Meanwhile, the MSI Raider GE67Hx stands out with its higher-resolution OLED screen and more powerful Intel processor, making it ideal for quality-driven tasks and intensive applications, but it is less portable and has a shorter battery life, consequently it may be more suited for stationary use where its higher performance can be fully utilized.
