Might depend on the workload, but the MSI looks to win out in almost every way.

Full-fat 1060 (Max-Q has lower clocks), 120Hz panel.
On top of that, double the memory & SSD.

Weaker battery, which would give the edge to the G7 if you wanted to use on the go for longer periods of time, but they're not exactly worlds apart there.


MSI, hands down.
