Model: The MSI P65 Creator 9SF is a stellar work machine designed with the clever intent of fusing both creativity and productivity into one single idealization. It is a state-of-the-art working tool for users who constantly dabble in the multimedia scene as their lifetime career, thus appealing to the likes of graphic designers, animators, photographers, or just anyone who has a distinct flair in filmography. The MSI P65 Creator 9SF operates using the most up-to-date 9th generation Intel Core i9 processor and sees a prominent and immediate boost in performance compared to its predecessors. The P65 Creator 9SF is designed to make multitasking and pro-level processing jobs to be carried out at a more efficient pace, hence the debut of the i9 processor in P65 is the most ideal candidate to carry out heavy duty tasks without adding to the burden of the user’s workload.

The MSI P65 Creator 9SF houses an all-powerful NVIDIA RTX 2070 Graphics Card sustained by a Max-Q design. It is the power saving variant of the mobile RTX 2070 graphics card with reduced clock speeds and power consumption. This ensures creative applications and computer programs that are utilized for professional work such as video editing or graphics animation to run smooth without failure, while at the same time being able to sustain longer working hours. Performance wise, however, the Max-Q design seems slightly pale in comparison to the mobile version. It should be noted that the difference in performance rate is hardly significant. Therefore, this finding should not cause any hindrance nor interference with the creative process of the user. Staying true to the objective of its primary design, the MSI P65 Creator 9SF is calibrated with MSI True Color Technology for creative users to fully deliver high-quality work. This technology enables spectrum of colors to be presented as close to 100 % sRGB Color Gamut. Different modes are introduced along with this technology to ensure users get the best scene to present their work, which includes but is not limited to, Designer Mode and Anti-Blue Mode.

Despite coming off as a creative powerhouse, its physical design suggested professionalism and minimalism rather than a bold expression of creative arts. The P65 Creator only comes in a monochromatic space grey color, and it is hardly the epitome nor a close representation of the creative industry. However, two of its distinct physical features are its featherlight weight (capping at 1.9 kg) and its ultra-thin structure. This renders the P65 Creator a portable and practical choice to transport unfinished work to wherever one should go in a singular but high-performance device. In addition, the P65 Creator also comes equipped with a MSI-exclusive high-power cooling system aptly named as Cooler Boost Trinity Plus. This system keeps the laptop cool under intense usage by siphoning heat through six heat pipes, which are facilitated by three dedicated whirlwind blade fans. Ideally speaking, the P65 Creator capitalizes on the result that it can deliver rather than its physical appearance. Turning a blind eye towards a lack of variety and color choices seems to be a reasonable excuse in exchange for high-quality work.

15.60":

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.
