If your priority is a laptop with a high battery life and portability, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is often significantly less expensive than the MSI Raider GE76 and could be the better fit. However, the MSI Raider GE76 offers a higher screen refresh rate which is preferable for intensive gaming and may have a better keyboard, webcam, and cooling system. For engineering tasks, the ASUS with its quality OLED screen and higher color accuracy could provide clearer visuals, although the MSI's powerful graphics card also makes it a solid option for such demanding applications. Both laptops have ample storage and memory, but the ASUS is lighter, enhancing its portability. Keep in mind though that the MSI's larger screen size may be more suitable for multitasking and immersive gaming experiences, despite it being heavier. Give Feedback

Jared Newman | August 2021
"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."

"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."
