Your reviews are outclass and joyful to watch!

I'm still a couple of years away from getting a new laptop, but every single aspect of this looks right up my alley, from the lack of the number pad to the QHD over 4k to save some battery to having a couple of USB-A legacy ports. I hope they have something similar when I'm in the market for laptop.

I bought this laptop today but I really can't wait for you to make a review of the MSI Summit E16 Flip. I'm in love with that one. As soon as it's released I might be returning the MSI Creator Z16 for the Summit E16 Flip depending of how it really performs

I use a lennova legion for editing...but may have to go for this soon because of the touchscreen! Nice review

Creator z16 looks like the perfect travel companion for content creators. I really liked the gigabyte aero 15 and razer blade 15 advanced model but this looks like a perfect balance between design & power.. please if possible review the creator 17 model and maybe compare them with other laptops that are in similar price point..

The msi z16 and asus m16 are to of my favourite laptops, perfect size, spec, screen and looks

A laptop review without performing any benchmarks or comparing it to other laptops in terms of their performance, not telling us the cooling technology being use and whether the laptop throttles under heavy load....WOW!!!!

Tom excellent vid. Can you please comparte this to the new Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme GEN 4 ?

Great video, thank you. Could you please make a comparison video with the 2021 Dell XPS 15/17? Thank you.

Your videos are amazing! Really loved it. Love from Sri Lanka. Keep going

These are the kind of specs that I’d see in a Razer Blade 15! Thanks for sharing it

Very nice laptop indeed! Thanks for reviewing it

Excelent video but what about the temps while playing?

I love my 16 inch Lenovo 7i the extra pixels are nice for video editing.

I am in the market for a new laptop (my current personal one is a 10-year old first generation XPS 15, lol) and I have been waiting for a proper review of the z16 for months, so thank you. Bit disappointed about the 3060 only option and the toastiness. It's almost there, but it doesn't blow me away as much as I hoped. You mentioned in your review that all major manufacturers have this crossover niche covered... could you do a comparison vid about creator/gaming crossovers?

Nice review of this laptop..... The MSI creator series... 👍

Nice review, but what about backlight bleed? Have you noticed any on your unit?

Does it affect battery life,Performance more or less if you use Windows 11 instead of 10?

thank you - that is exactly what I am looking for though the price is a bit deep - any other MSI model or other gaming laptop offers similar functionalities but also comes with the glossy screen? Most of the other gaming laptops come with PSI screen but not glossy! Any suggestions?

16:10 has always been the jam! Best aspect-ratio period!

one question though, does hot air blow through right side of the laptop?

I personally just got the Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16" version. It's got a lot of the same characteristics as this one, 120hz QHD 16:10 screen (matte but not touch), Ryzen 5800h, GPU is a bit weaker with a RTX 3050. I would love it if you did a review of it, you may like it even better than this one. Battery life is actually better with the ryzen chip despite the smaller battery!

After watching a lot of reviews finally ordered Legion 5 Pro (16" QHD display + AMD Ryzen 7 5800H + RTX 3070 + 32GB DDR4 RAM + 1TB SSD) for $2600 SGD which is around $1900 USD

16:9 conforms perfectly to the original HDTV specifications in the USA. I always look for 16:10 when I want a PC/productivity screen. Scaling documents to work on is much easier with the slightly greater height. 16:10 is almost always 1200 pixels or more in height. The solution before 16:10 and greater than 1080 pixel height used to be buying a monitor that could rotate to 9:16 for working on documents. 3:2 is no good for me because I always leave space on the sides for auxiliary tools or laying out 2 documents side by side.

I've been browsing your vids, what would you recommend as a good budget laptop for uni that can run games such as warzone etc. From what I've seen the Acer swift X looks good at around £800

Can you do a video on the MSI GE76 Raider, I am getting mine and I recommend you make a video on it.

Finally, what I've been waiting for 🙌👏

I got MSI Summit 15 for some time, it was also with touch screen, and it got crazy each time i reboot the machine. The cursor started to randomly move clicking everything around. I decided to turn it off in device manager afterwards - useless function IMO. Would love to see the keyboard quality similar to Alienware M17 as well. The body in general looks simply - cheap. Compared to others brands. I’d expect more from MSI tbh, however the price is 👍

Thank for the content. How do u compare this with the Asus studio ProArt. Is it worth to buy this over ProArt?

Great review. The creator m16 I7 12th rtx 3060 have a 60hz display. I’m planning on getting it for gaming as well. Do you recommend it?

Is there any monitors with glossy panels on the market ? I really like how it looks compare to the mate ones.

The XPS 17 2021 model, a laptop to dream about 😅

Are the fans always on or can it also get completely silent? And if yes, when? 🤔 And great video as always 👍

What would you recommend for CAD modelling and some gaming? This or the new Dell XPS 15?

Would you recommend this or the asus m16? I am really conflicted because there has been some bad reviews on the asus m16 in regards to it getting really hot and the screen bleeding.

no gloss for the screen for sure, and full size SD card would be amazing. I know the Z17 has it and also an HDMI port which is always super welcome; but portability is definitely one of the main advantages for freelance artists and designers, and if you count the power brick it is always much heavier than 2kg

I was waiting 2 days for this review ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Great video, explains a lot and I’m steering towards one with an AMD processor What laptop would you recommend? I will be starting school for graphic UI and UX and they asked me to have an intel i7 (or amd equivalent) and above. We would be handling multiple Adobe apps and minimum GB or ram would be 16. I need something that will be able to handle all of that any recommendations?

I always see a steelseries headphones in your videos.... would you do a video about it? Why is it your choice of headphones?

Do you have to enable touch screen? Is it switched off out of the box? I just bought it and the touch screen does not work. Also, why is the dragon center missing?

I wish i can buy this one too someday Tom

Today's review I feel is the best one

I hope you make videos about Zephyrus M16 soon ...

Awesome love it!

Please make a direct comparison to XPS 17. Tough choice

Thanks, finally a decent review of this machine. Have this ordered and was hoping the cooling solution was decent. See there is many different configurations. The i7 / 32 GB / 1TG / QHD non-touch is said to have a anti-reflective coating, hoping this is different from the touch version you reviewed as I prefer less glossy screens.

hi, I am Abhi from India really like the way you presented the pros and cons of MSI Z16, but can you compare the MSI Z16 with Razer blade Studio edition which will be a great comparison since both are a great machines and how it's work performance. I have gone through a tons of videos but none have of it compares these two machine mainly under the 3D performances especially under heavy 3D rendering (Maya, Substance Painter, ZBrush, etc.).

Finally waiting for mine

Nice review. But not as excited about it as the preview you gave of it in that other vid. Let's see what they do in the next iteration. Would be nice if they had a non-touch option, glossy screens are bad for fingerprints/touch marks as well. Crossovers aren't that bad, maybe in Europe where everything is smaller. Definitely not as bad as playing WZ or COD

Can you suggest a best gaming lap, use for both gaming and 3D modelling. For now I use SolidWorks and CAD apps. My budget is around 1500$

Loved it!!!

Not sure if i can get a reply, but considering this is a touchscreen, is there somekind of noticeable delay or latency when playing games? Thanks

Tom, how does it compare against the XPS 17, both plugged in and unplugged?😉😉😉 What's the capacity of the power supply/adapter?

Air vents are a deal breaker for me - as i often have the laptop lid closed when connected to my 3 x monitor setup

Nice new flat Tom!!

I got this laptop and it gives tingling sensation when plugged into an ungrounded outlet

When talking about the battery, I was wondering, if you put the laptop on max battery saving capabilities, how many hours do you recon it would last for?

Hey. Hope you are well. What would be the best laptop to buy if one has 2500-3000$ budget?

Do you have any idea what would be the competitive laptop for the creator z16 as of today? Coz I'm planning to get the z16 i7 with touch screen.

This laptop is so beautiful, I have a question, what is your wallpaper ?

build quality looks really good like MacBook level the screen is superb and I would buy this laptop if it didn't have the weird deck layout where the fan grill is on top making the trackpad very skinny wide but an odd shape and also what is with the keyboard layout the right shift in particular as a software developer I tried using a short right shift and it was hard to use and end up hitting the up arrow key, it was awkward when trying to get to the {curry braces} like you would usually do with a normal-sized shift

I see in time 1:10 some type of multiscreen option ? What is it ? This function is already built in laptop ? Can you explain, please ?

Can you please review the new MSI Creator Z17 (The one that has RTX 3070 Ti) ? Thank you!

I never thought in my entire life that I say "I would have waited for MacBook Pro 16", I'm a Windows and Linux User but when I saw the Battery Life of these new M1 chips I Consider Rethinking about My Digital Life (I'm a programmer I Compile a lot.)

Currently like 50% off at Curry’s - really tempting Would have liked to see more benchmarks

i would like to see a 13inches version of this with edge to edge keyboard and display with 3080 ti gpu 😁

This thing is gonna be a game-changer. So many ppl have been waiting for a macbook premium quality laptop, with windows os and nvidia rtx 🔥🤩

Beautimazing! 🔥🥇

Really love you did not do the borderline annoying habit of many KZfaqrs "I wish this was offered with a Ryzen CPU "

Finally I have been waiting for this!

Gonna buy this 🔥

While not being a creator machine per se, the recently announced Lenovo ThinkBook 16p sits in a very similar category (i.e. understated design combined with an RTX 3060 and 120 Hz 16:10 QHD screen).

this is a review? no benchmarks no chart? well done

This just needs to use a less reflective and brighter screen, say 500 nits. It will be nice to see it with a large piezo haptic touchpad, can't wait for those. !080p Webcam should really be the standard since we were hit by a pandemic. I can't wait for better efficient CPU and GPU for a combined under 90W power envelope (45W CPU + 45W GPU). Well done MSI!

great man, i dont need this laptop, but u are great thats why i m here.

yes , wish they didn't sacrifice the numpad and have a non reflective screen

I bought the creator z16 A11UET version after watching this review. It is a physically beautiful laptop. However, even on silent mode it is very noisey as the fans constantly switch on and off (this is during light online browsing). Silent mode states that "noise level is kept below 29db." However, when I use it the fans turn on and off every 20 or so seconds (usually when a browser loads etc) . It sounds fine but when it's 49dbs of sound for 10 seconds and then silence followed by 49db of sound over and over again -it very quickly becomes annoying. I contacted MSI about it and they said that the 29db applies only when the fans aren't engaged. Great. Never had to use headphones for a laptop until now. Regretful purchase and definitely going to sell.

So, about the fan exhaust that gets really warm, is this okay to get this warm? i have the same laptop and i'm really concerned about this.

Looks good but it’s the little things that make the biggest difference… IR Windows Hello, 16:9 aspect ratio (bottom bezel has to go), full size SD card, charging through USB-C (no dedicated power port… use that space inside and out for something else) , Fingerprint reader on the power button, bigger trackpad, 400 nits (I think premium laptops usually are about 500 even though 400 is still very good), anti reflective coating to maybe minimize some of the gloss…. I’m being extremely picky though… but honestly this still looks great… I just don’t think it can compete with the other models and brands that have those little things that make the biggest difference. I think gamers will love it but for creators and average consumers it might be a miss. Just my opinion…. I will say though the ability to upgrade the RAM and SSD does put a lot of those things to rest because you can future proof this a bit longer than other models that don’t have the upgradability option. We’ll see. If they can fine tune and add those little things, I think this thing can definitely be the best if not one of the best Windows Laptops out on the Market. It looks promising but needs a little bit of work to get me to pull the trigger. I still think XPS 17 is the best Windows laptop out there…. For now…. Even though Dell has a great deal of QC issues they definitely need to fix. Again just an opinion. Many might not agree and that’s cool. It’s all love. 👍🏼

last year I bought a "creator laptop" from MSI, the Prestige 15. Good things: screen, keyboard, it's thin & light (1.6kg), performance is good, ram & ssd is upgradable (it even has 2 nvme slots) Now the bad things: power management sucks, battery drain out totally after sleeping for 3-4 days. that's the worst from a windows laptop I ever used (I used Asus, HP, thinkpad, and a MBP 15), no BIOS update. The hinge is weak. The speakers are basically useless. And the worst: both ssd slots are pcie3x2, which is 2 lanes pcie means read/write speed is limited at around 2GB/s no matter if you put faster ssd in it, which is insane, there's nothing on their website mention about this. Long story sort: I would recommend you do throughout research, and hands on if you can before buying creator laptop from MSI, they're good on specs but not so good experience in daily usage.

Did you change the title of the video ? it was different a couple of days ago.

Omfg this might be the perfect laptop for me 😭😭😭 I always wanted a great windows laptop I can be creative on yet game 🎯

Can this laptop be used with a stylus? For example the Wacom Bamboo Plus?

The display seems to be the best part of the laptop from what I see

Would definitely go for an xps 17 in this price tag

I didn't expect the fans to be so loud in silent mode!

Hey Tom can you do the review of the LG Ultra PC.

There's a matte version of this but I cannot find a review on the matte version anywhere?? Glossy is really a deal breaker for me. I don't know if the matte version is any good?

Hi, is it possible to turn of the rainbow backlighthing on the keyboard? Not a nice look, if you ask me

Are i9 CPUs good in these thin systems?

That crossover joke though!

Great video, Hey mate I was gonna buy a asus tuf ryzen 3750h rtx 2060 , Is it a good combo? would I regret it? Hope you would see this :D

Amazing video man! Could you please do a review for the MSI creator 17 as well? I'm planning to buy that one soon

If I had £3,000 for a new laptop I probably wouldn't buy a laptop in that price range. I'd buy something closer to £1,000 and use the rest of the money to buy myself a new camera and some lenses

Not sure if you will see let a lone comment on this, but I am looking for a very high end work laptop for mobile 3D scanning for prototyping on site. I have the ability to toss in any GPU I want to the laptop, thanks to the Razer Core X, however CPU processing power is still a bottleneck with rendering the scans after the fact. With all of that being said, I would like to avoid lugging the Core X around if at all possible, but would be willing to o so if the rest of the laptop was performant to fully process a scan file onsite, same day. I had a 5 year-old i5 2 core CPU laptop that was fantastic for doing silly projects, or gaming while traveling but it could not handle the professional workload of a 3D Scanner (ARTEC Series). That all to say, what would you recommend as a work laptop to perform this kind of project, with an operating budget of around $5,000.

This is a great laptop but the only reason i prefer it to the dell xps 15 and 17 is the refresh rate

i wasn't able to get the touchscreen one! Had to settle for the one without :(

Does it have power delivery?

Hey Tom, I got a question about the heat - I'm super interested in buying the laptop as it is just the right combination of specs, ports and display quality for me! Under full load, when the exhaust above the keyboard is getting hot, is it uncomfortable to use the function keys? And does the air blow a little bit towards the screen or does it come out in a straight line towards the upper direction? Im wondering if the heat could damage the screen in the long run... I'm really hoping it does not as this might be the perfect choice for me!

Make MSI Z16P ( Specially Creator Pro - Z16P B12U Because it has a full size vapour chamber which I think It is USP) and MSI Z17 laptops (2022 models) full in depth separate review and one detailed comparison video. Also you can make comparison video of previous generation of same models because they upgraded their products at near perfect level. I think MSI can compete with ASUS in every aspect, so it is a great time to create an amazing video about it. It is also beneficial to MSI to reach the market where their no significant presence or they considered after 4 - 5 laptop brands and ended with those brands only because there is very less or no after sales services provided by the brand. MSI has the products which are providing overall value for money and can make their strong presence in the every laptop segment. I hope you understand my point of view and accordingly. Thank You. 😊
