The exact 693US datasheet and 695US datasheet identify the CPUs, chipsets, cooling and Gen4 storage. The store tables add the board models and GPU memory details. Neither datasheet states how the 16GB of system RAM is divided among modules or its operating speed. Equal installed capacity does not establish equal memory layout.
The clearest connection difference is at the front USB-C port. The 693US sheet specifies USB 3.2 Gen 1 at 5Gbps. The 695US sheet identifies USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. Both also list a front USB-A port, two rear USB-A ports at 5Gbps, four rear USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI 2.1 output and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. Match your intended connection to the exact port specification rather than relying on the Type-C connector alone. 693US sheet, 695US sheet.
MSI identifies a 2.5GbE Realtek RTL8125D connection on the 695US. Its rear Type-C entry contains a publishing error, so that entry should be confirmed before buying specifically for an additional rear USB-C connection. On the 693US, the datasheet and LAN row identify Intel I219V 1Gbps networking, while the store’s rear-I/O text says 2.5G. Get confirmation of the fitted Ethernet specification if wired networking is decisive. These inconsistencies do not establish a faster connection. 693US specifications, 695US specifications.
For expansion, both sheets list a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot. The 695US sheet additionally lists two M.2 connections and four SATA 6G connections, and marks its x16 slot as used by graphics. A listed connection count does not establish an accessible spare slot. Before ordering another SSD or a memory kit, check the fitted board revision, occupied connections, supported modules and service instructions for the machine you will receive. The 693US sheet does not supply an M.2 slot total. Manufacturer expansion tables, 695US expansion table.
The 695US offers a clearly documented AMD platform, Gen2x2 front USB-C and 2.5GbE. The 693US is the Intel alternative with an explicitly specified 5Gbps front USB-C port. Choosing between them on game frame rates, application speed, noise or value requires matching tests and a current exact-configuration offer. Shared GPU labels and a 650W PSU rating cannot establish those outcomes. Confirm the complete model and part number on the listing, especially when a seller changes RAM or storage.
