The Lenovo LOQ 16 is usually less expensive and offers a good balance for general use, engineering tasks, and even gaming thanks to its AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU, but the battery life is only modest. It is slightly heavier and its screen has lower resolution and refresh rates, which may not be as suitable for high-end gaming or detailed graphical work. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx comes at a higher price, but it provides superior performance with an Intel i7 processor and Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, which makes it excellent for engineering, 3D rendering, machine learning, and intensive gaming. It also features an OLED screen with higher resolution and refresh rate, producing crisper and smoother visuals, and has better color accuracy, but with the tradeoff of having shorter battery life and being lighter, it includes a heavier power brick that affects portability.

Christian Hintze | September 2023
"Gaming laptops with an RTX 4060 are available starting from about 1,000 Euros (~$1,060), even in 16-inch format. For the supposedly affordable Lenovo LOQ 16 (1,500 Euros, ~$1,591), the manufacturer particularly saves in the equipment and materials compared to the more expensive Legion series. In addition, the LOQ is slightly heavier and more bulky. What remains is anything but a laptop full of difficult compromises. Instead, this is a more than solid gaming laptop that focusses on the 3D performance.Q is slightly heavier and more bulky."

"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."
