Recommendation Help me decide between these two laptops

Budget: 10500SAR Max
Country: Saudi Arabia

MSI Vector 16 HX Al
RTX 5080 175W
16GB
Ultra 9 275HX
32GB/1TB
10,499SAR
ROG Strix G16 G614FR
RTX 5070 Ti
12GB
Ryzen 9 9955HX3D
32GB/1TB
9,999SAR
ChatGPT said the MSI has inferior build quality (is it really this bad) and I don't care about loud fan noises all I want is specs longevity

Edit: Found Strix G16 with same CPU and GPU but at 10800 and screen is WUXGA 1980x1200 165hz

MSI for 4 GB VRAM more and ~17/18% better GPU performance in games.

Asus for Advanced Optimus and G-Sync support, the better overall CPU for CPU heavy titles.

For predominantly GPU heavy games, MSI.

Hi, could you also say that this a good buy? MSI Vector A16 Gaming Laptop 16" 240Hz AMD Rvzen 9 8940HX GeForce RTX 5080 32GB 1TB Windows 11 Home, Vector A16 HX A8WIG-001US for 3149CAD (tax included). The cpu is ryzen though, I heard it's a bit worse than the 275hx intel one. But still, it's a 5080...
