PerfectRec’s Software Development Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for software developers.

For general use, where clear visuals and readability are vital, the MSI Prestige offers exceptional resolution and brightness, ensuring vibrant and crisp display, while the ASUS ROG Strix provides good visual quality but isn't as bright or sharp. In engineering and design tasks that require color accuracy, the MSI Prestige again stands out with its superior color gamut coverage, crucial for precise color work, whereas the ASUS has commendable performance but doesn't match the MSI's range. When it comes to gaming and 3D applications, the lower refresh rate of the MSI disappoints compared to what gamers usually seek, and while the ASUS delivers better performance in this area, it falls short of the high standards set by gaming-centric models.

Battery life estimate is based on a mix of common use patterns. More portable and higher performing laptops tend to have less battery life.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15, with its gaming-oriented specifications, offers powerful CPU and RAM, excelling in demanding tasks but at the cost of lesser portability and shorter battery life, whereas the MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo balances high-quality screen, longer battery life, and light weight, making it very well-suited for general use requiring a mix of performance and mobility. While both laptops have ample storage, a comfortable keyboard, and manage heat well, the ASUS may be louder under load, and the MSI shines with its better portability and longer battery life, which are crucial for users on the go.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 offers a highly capable GPU and a high screen refresh rate making it suitable for smooth and graphic-intensive gaming, while the MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo, with a less powerful GPU and lower refresh rate, provides a fair gaming experience but excels in tasks like productivity and business applications due to its stronger emphasis on portability and screen quality. Although both laptops can manage games and 3D work, the Strix G15 leans more towards the needs of gamers and 3D designers, whereas the Prestige 13 offers a balance for everyday use and professional tasks that may not require top-tier graphics performance.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15, with its high-performing CPU, ample RAM, and powerful GPU, is ideal for demanding engineering tasks and runs graphics-intensive applications smoothly, also featuring a top-notch screen for precise design work. Meanwhile, the MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo offers solid performance with a good CPU and GPU combo and has the added benefits of being more portable and having a quality keyboard, making it a suitable choice for engineers and designers who value mobility and comfort alongside computational power.
