Pros and Cons

MSI Creator 17

Strengths

The MSI Creator 17 has a lot of what a gamer would want in a portable shell, an Intel 10 generation i7 processor, and the RTX 2070 Max Q are in the upper tier of performance specs.
It shows great performance in every game that I've played so far, running smooth as butter on ultra settings with ray tracing put on medium.
The computer is paired well with a few peripherals like Michael said, the keyboard and the speakers are definitely just the weakest part of this package.
The Creator 17 right here is actually the first laptop that I've used that doesn't buckle or even stutter under my 4k workflow.
It's great for video and photo editing processes with the same specifications that drive high powered gaming
The quality of life details of this laptop are good, it's just a shame they don't fit in any of my current bags.
MSI got a lot right with the Creator 17, don't get me wrong, but if you ask me, they did more to create something like a foldable desktop than they did a powerful, portable laptop.
The prices seem awful competitive given the last few laptops I've reviewed.
