Reviews for the MSI Creator A16 AI+ A3HVGG
Source: Laptop Mag
The MSI Creator A16 AI+ is bolstered by the excellent AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor, and its Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 metrics are solid enough. It also has a satisfying keyboard with a number pad, alongside clear audio, a decently colorful panel, and a sturdy magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis. However, it's held back by battery life that's a bit underwhelming for a creator laptop (even if it's decent for a gaming laptop), a flimsy trackpad, and toasty heat levels. It doesn't help that its price point is pretty steep, as $1,799 feels like a big ask for what it's offering, considering that the RTX 50-series is on the horizon. If you can do without the AI features, the Dell G16 (7630) also offers an RTX 4060 GPU with a far more colorful display at the same resolution and refresh rate, yet it's only $949.

The MSI Creator A16 AI+ is a creator's dream. Unfortunately, almost all its performance eggs are in one AI basket, but that's pretty unavoidable nowadays. With MSI AI Engine and Nvidia Studio, this is a laptop that packs a punch. At 16 inches, it's not the most portable option on the market but if MSI were to add a 14 or 15-inch alternative into the range, then they'd really make a significant dent in the market.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
