MSI Creator M16 Review: Impressive Specs and Value, for Less Than $1600
Source: Make Use Of English
For creative professionals, students, and others who want a relatively powerful laptop with excellent value and prioritize a larger and color-accurate screen, the MSI Creator M16 is a great choice. My recommendation, if your budget allows, would be to choose the RTX 3060 model, as you get even better performance and value from that configuration.

Source: Digit week English
The MSI Creator M16 A12UEV-468 is a fantastic laptop marketed towards professional creatives but works as a hybrid for creatives and gamers. It’s a great laptop, but the 60Hz refresh rate means it excels more in creative work and less in gaming.
