For a balance of performance and portability, the MSI Raider GE67Hx is a strong contender. It offers a high-quality OLED display and robust gaming and engineering capabilities with its RTX 3070 Ti GPU, though it's less powerful than the Asus's RTX 4090. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D, while pricier and less portable due to its larger size and weight, boasts top-tier performance with its 3D V-Cache CPU and superior RTX 4090 GPU, making it ideal for intensive tasks in engineering and gaming. However, its battery life is shorter. If you prioritize the best performance and can manage the higher cost and bulk, choose the Asus. For a more compact and cost-effective option without sacrificing too much performance, the MSI is the way to go. Give Feedback

PCMag
Francisco Lahoz | October 2022
"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."
