I'm currently in Hong Kong and there's a computer at the moment.
I've been looking at the Scar 16 with rtx 4080 and mini led screen ($26500 hkd), but saw the GE78 with 4090 for $25500 hkd).
Now, I had a MSI GS65 in the past and the leds on the keyboard would burn out. Had the keyboard replaced under warranty and one month afterwards the leds started to burn out. Then the GPU died.
With asus, I have the flow x13 2022 version and the ssd died but everything else was OK.
Because of my experience with MSI, I've been leaning towards asus. However, a 4090 for cheaper than a 4080 with mini led screen has got me thinking again.....
I know the 4090 is faster and you can't replace the gpu in a laptop. But, I feel the build quality for MSI can be a bit hit or miss (mainly the keyboard).
Asus does include 2 years international warranty whereas for MSI its 2 years warranty but only the first year is international.
32gb RAM and 2TB ssd on both units.
What do you guys think?
