Pros and Cons

MSI Vector 16 HX

Strengths

MSI took those high-end specs and put them in a laptop that skips out on some of the things that add to the cost of these laptops. All of the performance with none of the fluff.
The gaming experience overall was fantastic. It's not an OLED panel, so the blacks aren't the blackest, and the brightness isn't maximum as you can get out of some screens. However, who's going to be gaming in direct sunlight?
Overall, I actually do think MSI succeeded with dropping the price for a top-spec gaming device and yet still making it fun and exciting to use.
The keyboard itself is really decent to type on. I really enjoy a chiclet-style keyboard like this one.

Weaknesses

It's very loud when you're gaming, especially when using the laptop standard, which makes it difficult to sneak in a gaming session at work
The laptop gets hot during gaming sessions, although it doesn't get too hot to handle.
The ports come out the back of the laptop, but this may cause cable clutter and take away from the overall aesthetic of the device
It weighs 2.7 kilograms, which is a bit heavy for some users

Lenovo Legion Pro 7

Strengths

It's a gaming laptop with an HX processor and power hungry GPU. So expectations should be managed.
The performance from Intel Core ultra 275HX and RTX 5080 is a top-notch for gaming and demanding task.
We could get up to 250 Ws of power from this laptop which is just amazing.
Good cooling that handles powerful components well and solid build quality with excellent keyboard and nice RGB design.
It's a desktop replacement that can absolutely share the latest games at high setting and handle intensive creative workloads
