MSI GF65 Thin 15.6" Laptop - Black I've just purchased this model it has I7 6 core processor and a RTX3060 graphics card. I don't really know much about laptops.

Is this the best value laptop for the price or could I do better? I was looking at the Asus similar model a little cheaper but only has a I7 4 core processor. Any help would be appreciated. I have 100 days to send it back.

8 GB DDR4-3200 RAM
512 GB SSD

The MSI has a lower performing processor, but it has more RAM and a larger capacity SSD.
The ASUS has a better performing processor, but it has less RAM and a smaller capacity SSD.
They both have the same performing graphics card.

Thanks for your reply, but the msi has 6 cores and asus only 4 cores, after watching alot of videos apparently 6 cores makes the processes better it can max out a 5.Gz turbo x 6 I believe the Asus maximum is 4.8gz x 4. Like I said not really tech knowledgeable:)

Relying only on the rated speed and the number of cores does not necessarily mean it's a better processor.
The single thread rating is important and should be considered.
The 6-core processor has a single thread rating of 2741
The 4-core processor has a single thread rating of 3231
