For general use, the MSI Thin GF63 offers affordability and reasonable performance for everyday tasks, alongside good portability due to its lighter weight. However, if you're into high-end gaming, 3D rendering, machine learning projects, or demanding engineering software, the MSI Titan GT77 provides superior performance with high-end specs, but it comes at a higher price and is bulkier, making it less convenient to carry around. The Titan also typically offers better cooling for long sessions of intensive tasks, but this can affect battery life, and it might require more frequent charging compared to the Thin GF63.

The MSI Titan GT77 has a better screen than the MSI Thin GF63 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the MSI Titan GT77 offers a sharper and brighter display, leading to finer details and more comfortable viewing, a major plus over the GF63's fair but less impressive screen. The Titan GT77's display covers a wider color spectrum, crucial for engineering and design work where precise color representation is essential, while the GF63 does not excel in this aspect. However, for 3D applications and gaming, high refresh rates are crucial for smooth motion, and the Titan GT77's display underperforms in refresh rate, just like the GF63, making both less suitable for high-end gaming or fast-paced 3D tasks.

Charles Jeffries | November 2022
"The MSI GF63 Thin 11SC can be an admirable value for gamers and power users on a minimal budget. For just $599 as reviewed in its base model, its Intel Core i5 H-class processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics perform much better than low-wattage CPUs and integrated graphics. That said, this is a light-class gaming laptop. Low scores in our demanding gaming benchmarks indicate using lower visual-quality settings will be required for playable performance."

"The MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."
