For general use, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X offers a higher resolution touchscreen and slightly better battery life, making it well-suited for multimedia tasks and comfortable daily use. Meanwhile, the MSI Raider GE67Hx, while not featuring a touchscreen, supports faster screen refresh rates and is slightly lighter, emphasizing its strength in gaming with a more powerful graphics card. Both have similar storage and memory, but the MSI may be more appropriate for high-end gaming or engineering tasks that benefit from the higher refresh rate and GPU. Conversely, the ASUS is a premium creator-focused option, which might be preferable if portability and screen quality for creative work are your priority. Give Feedback

Marc Herter, Alex Wätzel | November 2023
"The new Zenbook Pro 16X is more powerful, quieter and doesn't need to shy away from dedicated workstations and gamers. It is also comparatively compact, and our test device is the best Zenbook that we've reviewed so far. It seems equally suitable for content creators and gamers or anyone looking for a very powerful laptop that is still slim."

"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."
