MSI Creator Z16

Strengths

The MSI Creator Z16 is a capable gaming laptop that can run games at high settings with ease, making it suitable for gamers.
It also features an 8-core i9 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 combo, which gives smooth 4k editing timelines in Premiere Pro.
The dedicated NVENC encoder on the GPU speeds up rendering times, taking a 10-minute 4K project down to just 8 minutes.
The laptop's performance is further boosted by the AI smarts of the RTX card, speeding up features like auto-reframe and scene detection in Premiere Pro.
It has a good keyboard and touchpad that never got uncomfortably warm during use.
The laptop's webcam, although not amazing, is okay for basic video calls and can be improved with NVIDIA Broadcast software.
The MSI Creator Z16 is available at an affordable price point of around £900-£2600.

Weaknesses

The bezels on the laptop are quite thick, which might be a drawback for some users.
The trackpad could use some improvement in terms of accuracy and responsiveness.
The webcam's video quality is only okay, and it can get noisy at times.
The top bezel gets quite warm during heavy use, so users should keep their hands away from that area.
There are no USB-A ports on the laptop, which might be a problem for some users who rely on them.
The fans can get quite loud when under load, but this can be mitigated with the Whisper Mode feature.
The laptop's price point is quite high, especially considering that it doesn't have any unique features compared to other laptops in its class.
