MSI Vector 16 HX AI

Strengths

The new MSI Vector 16 HX AI offers excellent performance, thanks to its i9 processor.
The laptop's RAM and SSD packages are very good, making it ideal for gaming.
Despite being a budget-friendly option, the Vector still delivers great performance.
The keyboard is decent to type on, with a chiclet style that's comfortable to use.
The webcam is decent, with 30fps 1080p resolution and a feature to close off the camera.
The display is good, with a 16in 240 Hz QHD plus IPS panel that's perfect for gaming.
The Vector's design language is interesting, with copper-colored accents and a sleek look.
The laptop's cooling system may be old-school, but it gets the job done and doesn't overheat.

Weaknesses

The laptop can get very loud when gaming, making it hard to sneak in a session at work.
Most of the heat is sent out the back of the laptop, which can make it uncomfortable to hold during extended use.
There's no fancy slim vapor chamber cooling system, just a traditional blow-on-it method.
The Vector can get hot when gaming, but this doesn't seem to affect its performance much.
The speakers are not bad, but they're not great either - audio quality is not the laptop's strong suit.
There's no optical drive or SD card slot on this model, which might be a drawback for some users.
The Vector weighs 2.7 kilograms, making it not the lightest gaming laptop on the market.
The charger pushes out 330 W, which is higher than usual but still manageable.
