Moved to Laptops and Pre-Built Systems. Please post in the correct forum.

 

The MSI GT83 is an older, discontinued model. Its original MSRP was between $4000-$5000 USD. Due to its high price and older hardware I would not recommend buying it.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus S15 is more recent and MSRP is around $3,000 USD, so the price shown on that site seems to be in line with its price.

I would say the Zephyrus is great, but i probably am wrong

That MSI machine is huge (18.4" monitor on a laptop is NOT the norm) & that's why it'll come with a £4k premium.

The Zephyrus has a 2080 GPU & they aren't exactly great value, currently.

 

Neither are great value machines unless mobility is the main consideration for a machine of that power.

The MSI machine has two MXM-based GTX 1080s in it, so you can physically swap them out. Not really worth the price premium as laptop BIOS are generally locked down super heavily and unless you find a standardized laptop heatsink where 'one fits all' for GPUs, good luck upgrading. Probably the most niche of the niche crowd of gamers.

 

I know. I used to be one of them. x_x
