For web and mobile development, you don't really need that much GPU power. Assuming you do, I like 15" for the size of the screen, but not 17" that it becomes non-portable. GS65 also comes with 32GB RAM which I like - good for running docker, VMs and simulators. CPU I really don't care, so long above quad-core is okay, better to be above 8th Gen, which they are.
Other than RAM, I like PS63's aesthetics, far from Macbooks' build quality, but it's really good. I guess it would be a good MBA alternative. Trackpad probably not great.
I'd say RAM might not be that great of a deal if you are aware your laptop's limits. I can reach bottleneck sometimes even with 64GB RAM because how crappy some Windows platform products are. I can't believe at one point Firefox or Chrome took over 16GB+ of my system memory.
So, if portability is important, do PS63. If you need more power, GS65, it's not that heavy, but definitely a noticeable difference.
