Question Which laptop should I get

[john3569]

MSI GE68HX: i9 13950hx, 4060 8GB (140w), 32GB RAM, 1TB nvme SSD, 1920x1200 144hz 10ms (limited color range)

ASUS TUF Gaming A15: Ryzen 9 7940hs, 4070 8gb (140W), 16GB RAM, 1TB nvme SSD, WQHD 2560X1440 165hz 3ms G-sync capable

I live in Canada, but am currently in the USA for a brief vacation. I saw this deal on an MSI laptop at Costco, and the only thing holding me back is the 1920x1200 16 inch display with limited color range.

The Asus has a slightly worse CPU, better GPU, half the RAM, but a much better 15.6 inch display, as well as Advanced Optimus (MSI only has a MUX switch which needs a reboot to switch between modes). The MSI has per key RGB, while the ASUS has 1 zone. Battery is slightly larger on the MSI.

Prices listed below (USD and CAD)

Just looking for some advice from those more knowledgeable than myself. I hope this is formatted okay. Thanks in advance.

MSI GE68HX - $1484 USD with 6% tax included ($2000 CAD)
