For general use, the Lenovo LOQ 15 is less expensive and offers good performance with a focus on value, but its battery life is modest and it has a standard resolution and refresh rate. The MSI Raider GE67Hx, while more expensive, provides a high-resolution OLED display, superior graphics performance for 3D tasks, machine learning, and engineering software, and is better suited for intensive gaming with its higher battery life. However, the Raider is slightly less portable due to its heavier power brick. Both have similar portability scores, but the MSI's screen, speakers, and build quality are rated higher, which could enhance your multimedia and gaming experience. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the Lenovo LOQ 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Lenovo LOQ 15 offers a high-resolution, bright display with a panel type that delivers sharp and vivid images for common tasks and engineering software, but it lacks the high refresh rate crucial for smooth rendering in 3D applications and fast-paced gaming. The MSI Raider GE67Hx boasts a top-tier display with wide color gamuts, ensuring accurate color representation for professional design and engineering projects while also providing an excellent visual experience for everyday activities. However, its performance is less optimal for gaming and 3D work because it doesn't prioritize the high refresh rates that these applications benefit from.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers MSI Raider GE67Hx to be very good for general use, while the Lenovo LOQ 15 is good.
The Lenovo LOQ 15 is well-suited for general use due to its robust AMD Ryzen processor and RTX graphics, alongside decent RAM and a good quality IPS screen, though it's slightly less portable and has shorter battery life. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, while also equipped for general use with a potent Intel i7 chip and superior RTX graphics, offers a higher resolution OLED display, larger storage, and excellent build features, but it comes at the expense of being pricier and having shorter battery life compared to some other general-use laptops.

"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."

"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."
