I am looking to order 1 out of these 2

It seems that apart from the Aorus has some extra ram and a 2TB HD they are identical.

Am I missing anything else?
Which would have the better display?

Many thanks

That MSI laptop has a higher refresh rate screen. Both seem very similar specwise though. I think you should wait however for the new line of Ryzen processors coming to laptop, which apparently blow intel out the water.

MSI one says it has the Max Q edition of the 2080 S - I'm not upto speed on those but it is possibly a slower GPU than the Gigabyte.

I think that’s what I will do. Are there any dates?

I think any date that there was to begin with could be inaccurate now due to the pandemic. But it was meant to be Q1/Q2 this year I think. It's up to laptop manufacturers now I think to actually get these laptops to the market because AMD is only involved in making the chips themself, not the laptop.
