If you need a powerful machine for intensive tasks like gaming or 3D rendering, the MSI Raider GE67Hx with its high-end graphics card and processor is better but at a higher price and it's less portable due to its size and weight. On the other hand, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s is more budget-friendly, lighter, and has a longer battery life, making it ideal for general use and portability, with adequate performance for everyday tasks and some professional work. The ThinkBook also has a touchscreen which the MSI lacks, but its graphics capabilities are much lower, so it's not suitable for intensive gaming or 3D tasks. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s is only fair.
The MSI Raider GE67Hx is excellent for gaming and 3D applications because it includes a high-performance Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card and a high screen refresh rate, enhancing fluid visuals in fast-paced scenes. In contrast, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s, with its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and a lower screen refresh rate, offers more modest gaming performance, suitable for less graphically intensive tasks.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s is good.
The MSI Raider GE67Hx is better suited for engineering and design tasks due to its higher-end CPU and dedicated GPU, which are very important for such applications, as well as a high-quality OLED screen. Whereas the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s, while also having a capable CPU and high-resolution screen, relies on integrated graphics and has a smaller form factor that limits the pixel density and color accuracy of the display but offers better portability.

"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."

"The best thing about the ThinkBook 13S is that it’s a good deal. Business buyers looking for ThinkPad-level performance and software without ThinkPad pricing will probably find the ThinkBook a solid option. While nothing about it is really spectacular, it’s certainly unusual to see the ThinkBook’s screen resolution at a sub-$1,000 price, and its performance will be more than adequate for most office tasks. The generous port selection, 16:10 aspect ratio, physical webcam shutter, and clear audio are certainly icing on the cake."
