The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is usually less expensive, and offers a solid balance of price and performance with good battery life, but if you prioritize a higher storage capacity and a better display, the MSI Raider GE67Hx might be a better option despite its higher cost. The MSI model features an OLED screen with a higher resolution and refresh rate, which could enhance gaming and content viewing experience. However, the ASUS model has a larger screen size and may have slightly better battery life, making it a more suitable choice if you're often on the move and value screen real estate. Both laptops are equipped with powerful processors and dedicated graphics suitable for gaming or demanding tasks but the ASUS's newer GPU might give it an edge in latest games or future-proofing. The MSI has a higher contrast ratio, which could be beneficial for creative work that requires color accuracy. On the down side, it's worth noting that the MSI laptop's battery life is shorter than the ASUS's, a consideration if you need to work for long periods away from a power source. Give Feedback

Marc Herter | March 2023
"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."

"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."
