The ASUS Vivobook S 15 is generally less expensive and offers a solid performance for general use with a very satisfactory battery life. It's more portable than the MSI Raider GE67Hx, making it suitable for those frequently on the move. However, if you need higher performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, with its Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU and Intel i7 processor, would be a better choice despite being heavier and having a shorter battery life. The MSI also has superior screen quality and color accuracy, which is important for tasks that require visual precision. Give Feedback

"Internals make Asus VivoBook S15 laptop a compelling option. The Asus multimedia laptop may look rather below-average with its modest black chassis, lack of a dedicated GPU, limited RAM and meagre port selection without Thunderbolt support. But your impression of the device will start changing once you set your eyes on its high-contrast OLED capable of producing deep blacks and highly accurate colours. And your opinion will change completely when the VivoBook is switched on. The AMD CPU can effortlessly keep up with powerful rivals from Intel. The integrated Radeon graphics blows away Intel's iGPU when it comes to graphics workloads such as rendering and simpler games."

"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."
