The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is significantly less expensive than the MSI Raider GE77Hx, making it a more budget-friendly option. It is lighter and has a smaller screen, which could make it easier to carry around if you prioritize portability. However, its performance for general use and more intensive tasks like 3D rendering and engineering is lower compared to the MSI laptop. The MSI Raider GE77Hx, on the other hand, offers a larger screen, higher performance for demanding tasks, and features like hardware ray tracing, making it suitable for intensive gaming. It is heavier and has a shorter battery life, so it's less portable and will require more frequent charging. Consider the Vivobook if you're looking for a more affordable, portable laptop for everyday tasks, and the Raider if you need high performance for gaming or professional applications and don't mind the extra weight and cost.

"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."

"The MSI Raider GE77 offers a lot of power for a lot of money. The main components consist of a Core i9-12900HX CPU, a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU (175 watts TGP, 16 GB VRAM), and 64 GB of RAM, which makes for a high overall performance level. The GeForce GPU in particular scores some of the highest scores we have seen from this chip. Both the CPU and the GPU are able to run at continuously high clock speeds. The relatively high heat and noise emissions match our expectations for this device class. With approximately 5.5 to 6.5 hours, the battery life is good for a powerful 4K laptop."
