The ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 and the MSI Raider GE67Hx are both high-performance laptops with similar prices, storage, and RAM. If battery life, portability, and general use are your priorities, there's little to distinguish between the two. However, if display quality is crucial, the MSI's higher-resolution OLED screen offers an advantage, particularly for engineering or design work where color accuracy is vital. For gaming, both are suitable with their powerful GPUs, but the ASUS has a higher refresh rate screen that may provide smoother visuals. On the other hand, the MSI has slightly better build quality, speaker quality, and a higher-quality webcam, making it a better choice for multimedia and video conferencing. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 and the MSI Raider GE67Hx compare to other laptops
"Asus continues to refine the ROG Strix Scar lineup with new upgrades. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 offers almost everything you would expect from a gaming laptop at this price. The build quality is great, connectivity options are decent, and there is enough scope for internal upgrades as well. Asus reverts to membrane switches for the keyboard — though not as "clickety" as the opto-mechanical ones we saw with last year's model, they still make for a decent typing and gaming experience. The lack of biometrics in any form is a downer."
"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."
