Comparison of MSI Vector RTX 4080 and ASUS ROG STRIX G16 RTX 4080
Model names: Asus ROG Strix G16 G614JZ-N3006 / MSI VECTOR GP68HX 13VH-208TR
ASUS features: Intel Core i7 13650HX, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX4080, Freedos, 16" WUXGA, 165Hz
MSI features: Intel Core i7 13700HX, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX4080, Windows 11 Home, 16" FHD, 144Hz (panel and charger quality concerns)
I would choose the Strix. The MSI laptops, including the Vector, appear to have common problems with screens and hinges. Besides that, they are largely similar; however, you'll likely need to buy a Windows license for the ASUS model since it isn't included by default. Perhaps FreeDOS, but it's not very practical for most users.
