MSI Creator 15 A10U Laptop 2021
LaptopProduct Gallery
Product Overview
The 2021 MSI Creator 15 A10UX is a powerful 15.6-inch laptop designed for creators. Powered by 10th-gen Intel Core H-series CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 30-series GPUs, it improves upon the 2020 model primarily in terms of graphics.
Like the 2020 Creator 15, the new A10UX can be configured with either FHD or 4K UHD display, the latter of which delivers 100% coverage of the Adobe RGB color space. It retains the sleek and professional design, even though its underpinnings lend strong credentials to gaming as well. Another important feature that is kept over is the large 99.9Wh battery.
Another new feature in the 2021 MSI Creator 15 is Bluetooth 5.2 support.

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac) MSI's Creator 15 doesn't run as hot as some other laptops, but it's not immune to the heat Intel's Core i7 puts out. With a display that's only 60Hz, you don't really need a more powerful graphics card. It does nearly everything a MacBook Pro or Razer Blade 15 Advanced can do for hundreds of dollars less.
Pros
- Gorgeous design
- Comfortable palm rest area
- Great keyboard and touchpad
Cons
- Mediocre battery life
