70% Msi Creator Z16 Review: Thin Isn’T Everything
Source: The Verge English EN→zh-CN
MSI’s Creator Z16 is one of a new cadre of “creator” laptops that have been popping up from companies that are traditionally gaming-oriented over the past two years. They tend to take the sorts of specs that you might see in a gaming laptop and cram them into a thinner chassis that looks more like something one might bring into a boardroom. While you could certainly use the Z16 for gaming — it has an RTX 3060 discrete GPU and a heavy-duty “Cooler Boost” cooling system — it also has a more subtle look than even the most subdued of MSI’s gaming laptops, with a silvery-gray finish, a barely visible dragon logo, and MacBook-esque rounded corners. There’s a 16:10 QHD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate (my much-preferred aspect ratio for productivity devices). It ships with Windows 10 Pro. And the video conferencing features — the speakers, in particular — are a solid upgrade from what I often expect to see on a gaming laptop. The system would make a fantastic multimedia machine.

MSI Creator Z16 review: This could’ve been the content creation king
Source: Soycincau English EN→zh-CN
If you were already planning on spending around ten grand for your next workstation laptop, the Dell XPS 15 is one of the more obvious options to look at. Prices will change based on how you configure it, but we managed to configure one with the same processor, a weaker NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and a 15.6-inch, 3.5K OLED display—all for less than the MSI Creator Z16 at RM10,778.99. I mean yeah you’re giving up a bit in terms of graphics performance and refresh rate, but with a much better display panel that could be a more important factor for content creators. But sometimes not everyone has that much to drop on a laptop, even if it is for work and creating content. If you want a cheaper alternative to the MSI Creator Z16, then the Acer Swift X is perhaps more up your alley. There’s two models, but the one with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U, 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti is a mere RM4,999!

MSI Creator Z16 (A11Ux) review – aesthetics are above all
Source: Laptop Media English EN→zh-CN
First of all, the battery. It won’t be a smart decision to do heavy-duty work away from the plug. Not only you won’t be able to get the maximum performance you need but your battery will drain extremely quickly. While on the note of computing power, we feel that content creators will be generally happy with the laptop. But from all devices we’ve tested with the Core i7-11800H, this was the worst in terms of performance.

The MSI Creator Z16 is a laptop marketed towards content creators but actually works better as a hybrid device for creatives and gamers. It's a great laptop, but this middle ground means it doesn't particularly excel at either, instead, sitting the fence as a middling alternative for folks looking for a single device for work and play.

80% MSI Creator Z16 review
Source: Laptop Mag English EN→zh-CN
The MSI Creator Z16 is a competent content creator mobile workstation, that would be a real prosumer powerhouse if MSI had given you options of an Nvidia RTX 3070 or 3080, instead of just the middle-tier 3060. That said, the Z16 easily handled every photo and video editing task I threw at it. With its gorgeous, QHD touch display, powerful Intel Core i9-11900H CPU, and large speedy 2TB SSD, the GPU isn’t really a dealbreaker. There’s so much to like about this elegant, punchy performer, provided you can look past the slightly steep pricing. But if you’re a content creator looking for a MacBook Pro alternative, you’ll end up saving some money in comparison to a similarly specced Apple.

MSI Creator Z16 A11UET Review
Source: Vortez English EN→zh-CN
This is the first laptop we’ve reviewed which features the Intel Core i9-11900H and its performance is impressive. Placing such a processor inside a laptop which has more of a focus on content creation is a good move by MSI, especially when it’s combined with 32GB DDR4. Adding in dual Thunderbolt 4 ports is something that users looking at this laptop will expect. Not only can these ports allow for fast data transfers to compatible devices, but they also carry a video signal – giving the option to output to a dedicated display, should you require it. Pricing for Creator Z16 sees it hit the shelves at: GBP £2500 | USD $2599 | AUD $3699. It also arrives with a decent 2 year warranty.

The MSI Creator Z16 is the first full-blooded “creative” computer we’ve seen from MSI. It is solidly configured with appropriate powers in both processor and graphics card as well as a really nice QHD touch screen. At the same time, it is so slim and light that you can take it with you in your bag every day. That it also looks unbelievably good is just an added plus. Creator Z16 is not the only bid for graphic designers and 3D designers in this class. But MSI has done it right on all counts. That kind of hardware costs a lot of money, but the price is certainly justified.

MSI Creator Z16 HX Studio (A13V) review – great device for content creation
Source: Laptop Media English EN→zh-CN
The MSI Creator Z16 HX Studio (A13V) is a 16″ device that offers premium build quality and powerful hardware. The vapor chamber cooling is doing its job well. Despite the 19mm profile, the CPU clocks and power limits under heavy loads are very high. The GPU can also sustain stable 90W which is nice to see. Interestingly, the two fans aren’t as loud as a jet fighter even while benchmarking the processor with Cinebench R24. During gaming, the noise is lower which is good. By the way, the fans are turned off when the laptop is in an idle state. The optional 1600p 165Hz MiniLED display (AUO B160QAN02.K (AUODB95)) boasts 100% sRGB and 96% DCP-P3 color coverage. This combined with the snappy and well-cooler hardware transforms the device into a very capable laptop for content creation. The only downside of the panel is the PWM usage. The I/O isn’t full of ports but the selection is modern with its Thunderbolt 4 connector and SD Express Card Reader.
