The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is very good for gaming and AI, while the MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo is only fair.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 comes equipped with a more powerful GPU and a higher screen refresh rate which are crucial for gaming and 3D rendering, providing smoother visuals and better performance in resource-intensive tasks.

The MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15's display may offer the resolution and brightness suitable for everyday tasks, but its color accuracy may not meet the demands of engineering and design work, and its refresh rate likely falls short for smooth 3D rendering and gaming experiences. On the other hand, the MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo provides not only the necessary resolution and brightness for general use, but also covers wider color gamuts critical for professional design applications, though its gaming and 3D performance are still limited by a refresh rate not optimized for those purposes. It's important to align the laptop choice with one's primary activities, determining whether the priority lies in visual fidelity for design work or fluid motion for gaming and 3D tasks.

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."
