The LG Gram 16 is an excellent choice for those who prioritize portability and long battery life; it's lightweight and has a well-balanced screen size for comfortable use. However, if you require a more powerful laptop for 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the MSI Raider GE67Hx with its dedicated graphics card, better display for fast-motion content, and high performance in demanding applications would suit you better, despite its higher price, increased weight, and shorter battery life. The MSI Raider is also more suitable for engineering tasks, but it's less portable than the LG Gram. Choose the LG Gram if you need a portable laptop with decent performance for general use; go for the MSI Raider if you need a high-performance laptop and can manage with lower portability.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for engineering and design, while the LG Gram 16 is good.
The LG Gram 16, with its lighter build and fanless operation, is suitable for engineering and design due to its solid CPU and integrated GPU, alongside a quality IPS screen; however, the MSI Raider GE67Hx offers more powerful CPU and dedicated high-end GPU, with an OLED screen that excels in color accuracy and contrast, making it very suitable for intensive tasks in engineering and design but with less portability due to its heavier weight and larger size.

Florian Glaser | January 2023
"The LG Gram 16 is a lightweight device with stability issues. The LG Gram 16Z90Q with a Core i7-1260P is made with portability in mind and places less of a focus on users with high demands on performance. The compact and light chassis is particularly practical when you are on the go. The device is not only comfortably small and lightweight, it also boasts a great battery life. When connected to mains, on the other hand, the 16-inch device is rather disappointing. The standard cooling mode causes extreme volatility in terms of CPU, SSD and iGPU performance. The meager stability of the chassis may also put off some potential buyers."

"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."
