Is MSI GL65 9SD (2019) better than Asus TUF A15 (2020) at a lower cost?

Both are 1660ti. A15 is ryzen 4800H & MSI is i7-9750H. 

A15 is about 250 USD expensive than MSI.

A15 has much better battery life but piss poor display performance. MSI is 99% sRGB with great response time.

 

Is MSI a super good deal? or am I missing anything?

 

Edit: Forgot to mention. I saw some benchmarks MSI outperforms A15 in almost all AAA titles that I care about - Metro, Assassin, Tomb raider, BF5...

Your post doesn't really make sense.

 

Do you have links? The A15 is more or less? They're completely different CPUs, so it depends which is more expensive.

Sure.

Are those the actual links? Because they don't even have prices for them..

 

Regardless, the MSI has a 9300H (not 9750H), a 1650 (not a 1660Ti), 8GB ram (ew no), and an SSD 1/4 the size of the A15.

 

For all intensive purposes the A15 is significantly better than the GF63

Why is that? I would still consider an A15 over the MSI since it has a 4800H + 16GB Ram + 1TB SSD. The MSI has none of those.

Yes, you are correct. So, the thing is I was referring to variant which is available in my country which has 16gb ram + 256 NVME + 1TB SATA. (MSI GP65 Leopard 9SD-459IN)

Took screenshot of closest variant from amazon.com so that the conversation could be universal.

 

Also, if 4800H is not able to outperform i7-9750H while playing games then those multicores and threads are of no use to me. I will have to eat shit on that SSD but I more than happy to let that go for far more superior display quality and 5-10% bump in fps at lower cost.

It would be really, really helpful if you linked us the exact products that you're considering buying, with the exact price, instead of posting incorrect information multiple times, and still expecting an accurate answer.

 

I would suggest looking up the gaming benchmarks yourself and comparing. The 4800H beats the 9750H in pretty much every single conceivable benchmark imaginable. There might be a couple games the 9750H wins in, but the 4800H tends to be the most recommended CPU right now, regardless of what you're using it for.

I understand. I just did not want people to be dealing with my local currency conversions. Anyways, these are links to amazon.in as below:

MSI: https://www.amazon.in/MSI-GP65-Leopard-9SD-459IN-9S7-16U121-459/dp/B08696L1JC/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=msi+gp65&qid=1594421026&sr=8-1

A15: Directly spoke with Asus dealer and I was informed that A15 with following spec (Asus TUF Gaming A15 Ryzen 7 Octa Core - (16 GB/512 GB SSD/1 TB HDD/Windows 10 Home/6 GB Graphics/NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 Ti)  Gaming Laptop  (15.6 inch, Fortress Grey, 2.30 kg)) will be coming out @ 128k INR

 

Making A15 about 300 USD more expensive than MSI.

 

Lastly, benchmarks that I posted below are exactly CPU-GPU config that we are trying to compare. You can see average FPS in MSI is better A15.

 

Thank you for your help.
