The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 is generally less expensive with more battery life, suited for general use and lighter engineering tasks, whereas the MSI Raider GE67Hx is slightly more expensive, offering superior graphics performance favorable for 3D tasks, machine learning, and intensive gaming. The Zenbook's larger screen and portability are balanced by a less powerful GPU compared to the Raider's higher screen resolution and refresh rate, but it compromises on battery life. Depending on your needs, prioritize the Zenbook for longer use and travel or the Raider for demanding graphics tasks and gaming. Always consider weight and portability against performance and screen quality. Give Feedback

Francisco Lahoz | October 2022
"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."
