Now, this is what will make for massive difference in performance. In simple terms, it's the screen tech that is used in mobile phones and tablets (think iPhone/iPad)Ģ) 256GB Micron M600 M.2 mSATA SSD +$185. It will probably have a slightly slower response time, but you get accurate and rich colours and perfect viewing angles. If I was buying it for myself, this is what I would do:ġ) Screen - 15.6" FHD (16:9) Anti-Glare Matte-Type Sager IPS Screen (1920x1080) (LG) +$45. Http /it starts at $1230 for the base spec, which is almost the same as the two in your original post, i7 4720HQ 2.6GHz +8Gb +1Tb + 970MĪnd now the best part is that for the remainder you can customise it. However, have you considered going a custom laptop route? For example, if we look at this Well, as I said, both are really ample laptops. I used to have a 17" lappy in my student years and it was always a much bigger logistical pain compared to 15". If you do plan on moving it around and taking it with you, then MSI is a better choice, and not because of weight, since they are equally heavy, but because a 17" wide screen laptop will require you to get an amply sized backpack. If you're not planning to carry it with you often, I'd recommend a bigger screen, it's just a better experience in such case. 8Gb is, after all, is quite adequate for most tasks at the moment.Īnother moment to consider, is that ASUS is 17" while MSI is 15". At the same time, RAM is the easiest part of a laptop to upgrade, so you can always add more into MSI at a later stage if you'll feel you need to. For example, if you plan on working with heavy PhotoShop files, complex 3D rendering or working with Adobe AfterEffects, the extra 8Gb it offers over MSI can make for a noticeable difference.

Depending on your usage model, it can be significant or not. The only performance related difference is that the ASUS one got more RAM, 16GB vs 8. both are really ample machines and you can't really go wrong with either of them.
