Reviews for the MSI Creator A16 AI+ A3HVFG

60% MSI Creator A16 AI+ laptop review
Source: Digital Camera World English
The MSI Creator A16 AI+ has all the ingredients for an ideal image- or video-editing laptop: a powerful 12-core processor, GeForce RTX 4060 graphics, lots of RAM and a fast SSD. A premium, high-res, high-refresh-rate display also promises stunning visuals. Heck, there's even a 6-speaker sound system. But sadly I found the A16 didn't always live up to expectations. Disappointing screen uniformity, weak sound, and just a single USB-C port just don't cut it for a premium, creator-focussed device. These shortcomings aren't fundamental flaws, but the competition in this sector is too strong for issues like this to be acceptable, making the MSI Creator A16 AI+ tough to recommend.
