The MSI new Gaming and Creator laptops are now official! MSI recently announced the launch of the new laptops powered by the latest Intel 11th Gen processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics for both the Gaming and Creator lineup. New models that were launched include the Creator Z16, Creator M16, Creator 17, GE76/GE66 Raider, GS76/GS66 Stealth, GP76/GP66 Leopard, Pulse GL76/GL66 (Crosshair 17/15), and Katana GF76/GF66 (Sword 17/15).
Creator Z16 and M16
The Creator Z16 features a 16:10 display with thin bezels for better viewing angles and increased screen real estate for productivity. The True Pixel display is also capable of displaying up to QHD+ resolution with a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, catering to the needs of designers and creators who need color accuracy. The chassis is CNC-milled and made from aluminum. Besides that, it is also fitted with MSI’s Cooler Boost Technology with fan blades that are 0.1 mm in thickness, designed in such a way that ensures optimal thermal dissipation for the best experience when under heavy workloads.
The Creator M16 also features a QHD+ True Pixel display and is also well rounded in terms of performance. The M16 is a slightly de-tuned version of the Z16 for the casual consumer that does not require the professional-grade features that the Z16 offers but still wants the Z16’s performance and aesthetics.
