83.7% MSI Creator Z16P laptop in review: Creative work with an i9 and the RTX 3080 Ti | Notebookcheck
MSI has opted for high-end components. The CPU and graphics card are in the same league as the best gaming laptops. The excellent display as well as a remarkably slim case, on the other hand, show its multimedia nature. The combination is bound to lead to conflicts, but it promises creative peak performance.

90% MSI Creator Z16P review: A content creator’s dream
Source: Laptop Mag English
MSI’s Creator Z16P is close to being the perfect content creating workstation laptop. With a potent Intel Core i9 CPU, an Nvidia RTX 3080Ti GPU, and a combination of style and class-leading performance that makes it a winning choice for content creators looking for a workhorse portable workstation to whip their workflows. The Z16P is one of the best best workstations around for content creation with the ability to churn out media projects with ease. However, in today's economy, at $4,299, it's a serious investment that may be beyond some budgets, but if you can afford it, it’s an option I highly recommend.

70% MSI Creator Z16P review: Creators yes, gamers no
Source: Digital Trends English
The MSI Creator Z16P is one of the faster Windows machines you can buy for creative work, and its display is good enough for all but the most demanding creators. It’s also a very expensive laptop, meaning it’s an investment best made by those who need the utmost in performance and don’t want to switch to MacOS. Gamers should definitely look elsewhere, though, because the Creator Z16P severely underperformed in this area. I’m not sure if it was a driver or hardware problem, but the laptop simply didn’t live up to its potential.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
