Product Overview

MSI Creator M16 is a 16-inch laptop designed for content creators. Slotted beneath the Creator Z16, the M16 drops Mini LED backlighting but retains a 16:10 WQXGA IPS display with 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space.
Like the Z16, the Creator M16 is powered by an 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake mobile processor, though its GPU options are limited to entry-level NVIDIA RTX 3000-series chips. This may impact some applications such as video rendering where raw GPU performance is vital.
Leveraging its experience in gaming laptops, MSI has endowed the Creator M16 with Hi-Res audio and Nahimic Audio Enhancer to boost the laptop's audio playback performance.
I/O-wise, the Creator M16 comes with an abundance of options, including a full-size HDMI, an RJ45, and a single USB-C port.
A similar alternative that appears to be more refined is the ThinkBook 16p GEN2 from Lenovo.
