If you prioritize portability and touch capabilities for a convertible form factor, the ASUS ROG Flow X13 is lighter, offers a smaller screen with a touchscreen interface and is noted for its AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia RTX graphics, suitable for demanding tasks such as gaming or content creation but with moderate battery life. On the other hand, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, with a larger, non-touch OLED screen and higher screen refresh rate, aims more at intensive gaming and engineering use thanks to its Intel processor and Nvidia 3070 Ti graphics, yet it is heavier and less portable with a higher battery capacity but shorter battery life. The MSI variant typically costs less, while the ASUS is pricier, which may also influence your decision based on budget considerations. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Flow X13 has a better screen than the MSI Raider GE67Hx for software development, while the MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The ASUS ROG Flow X13 shines in general use and engineering with its high resolution and bright display, which enhance viewing detail and daytime visibility, while its wide color gamut delivers accurate colors crucial for design work. The MSI Raider GE67Hx boasts a similarly excellent display for general activities and engineering, providing crisp images and vivid colors, thanks to its high resolution, brightness, and color accuracy. However, both laptops fall short for Gaming and 3D because their screens, although high-quality in other areas, have lower refresh rates, which are less optimal for the smooth visuals fast-paced gaming and real-time 3D applications require.

How the ASUS ROG Flow X13 and the MSI Raider GE67Hx compare to other laptops
"The Asus ROG Flow X13 is not an off-the-shelf convertible. This quickly becomes clear when you take a closer look at the technical specs. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS is a state-of-the-art SoC with 8 cores and 16 threads, which also makes the 2-in-1 interesting as a work device. With 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, gamers are also well taken care of. The dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q fits well into the overall concept and ensures a solid 3D performance. With the eGPU dock, which is equipped with a GeForce RTX 3080, the small convertible transforms into a full-fledged desktop replacement in terms of performance."
"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."
