For a balance of portability and performance with a stunning OLED display for general use and light engineering tasks, the ASUS Vivobook S 14 is a strong contender. It's lightweight, has a decent battery life, and offers good performance for everyday tasks. However, if you prioritize top-tier gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning capabilities and don't mind a bulkier, less portable laptop with a shorter battery life, the MSI Raider GE76 with its powerful Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti GPU and high refresh rate display would be the better choice. It's built for high performance and can handle intensive tasks with ease, but keep in mind it comes with a higher price tag and is designed with a gaming aesthetic that may not be suitable for all professional environments.

Florian Glaser | January 2022
"The MSI Raider GE76: with Alder Lake and RTX 3080 Ti to gaming heaven. Yes, MSI could improve some aspects (like the quality of the webcam), but the manufacturer offers a very convincing and balanced overall package. The biggest advantage is definitely the immense performance potential. The combination of Core i9-12900HK, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 32 GB DDR5 RAM and two NVMe SSDs offers a lot of performance for the next couple of years and plenty of power for 3D applications. Most titles would run smoothly on an external 4K screen no matter the quality preset. We came away impressed with the integrated 360 Hz panel's fast response times and good color accuracy."
