The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is generally less expensive and provides good performance, especially for gaming and general use, with a relatively portable design and decent battery life. However, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, while more expensive, offers a superior performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks due to its more powerful CPU and graphics card. The MSI also has better screen quality with higher resolution and color accuracy, making it ideal for content creation and professional use, but it's less portable and has a heavier power brick. Choose ASUS for a balance of cost and performance or MSI for top-tier performance and display quality, especially if the laptop's portability is not a major concern. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS ROG Strix G15 is good.
The MSI Raider GE67Hx outperforms the ASUS ROG Strix G15 for gaming and 3D applications due to its superior Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card and a higher screen refresh rate of 240, compared to the G15's RTX 3050 Ti and 144 refresh rate. Additionally, while both have comparable processors and screen quality, the higher GPU power and refresh rate in the Raider GE67Hx provide a smoother and more visually detailed gaming experience.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Strix G15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
When considering screen quality for general use, factors like panel type, resolution, and brightness are key; a screen that excels in these areas provides crisp, clear images and comfortable viewing in various lighting conditions. For engineering and design, the ability to accurately reproduce colors is critical, so excellent performance in displaying a wide range of colors within the DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB spectrums indicates a screen well-suited for those tasks. However, for 3D applications and gaming, a high refresh rate is essential for smooth motion, so screens that do not prioritize this may offer a subpar experience despite having good resolution and panel quality.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the MSI Raider GE67Hx compare to other laptops
"The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is a successful high-performance 15-inch laptop. The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unleash its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the previous generation. Especially the stunning 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generous TDP give gamers their money's worth. Asus didn't neglect seemingly small details, either, such as the keyboard and the maintenance options. The ROG Strix G15 offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format, but connectivity leaves something to be desired."
"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."
