Reviews for the MSI Vector 16 HX A13VHG
Source: Creative Bloq

The MSI Vector 16 HX is a reliable gaming laptop with a more compact form factor compared to the more common 17 and 18-inch alternatives. The smaller screen benefits from a 16:10 aspect ratio, providing much-needed additional display height. The build quality is generally good but is let down by a plastic base construction instead of a metal chassis, which may disappoint most users considering the price. On the inside, there's not much to criticize. The Intel CPU and GeForce RTX™ 4080 GPU perform well for both gaming and work, especially in creative applications.

Compared to some bigger laptops, the MSI Vector 16 HX A13V can give them a run for their money. The device is bulky for a 16-inch machine. There is a reason for that – the high-end hardware that is well-cooled by the massive Cooler Boost 5 thermal system. The end result is great gaming performance thanks to the high CPU and GPU clocks during full loads. The 175W GPU TGP is tied with the “Extreme Performance” preset that will torture your ears with high noise levels. Still, in this mode, the Vector 16 HX isn’t as noisy as the MSI Vector GP78 HX (13V) or Acer Predator Helios 3D 15 SpatialLabs Edition (PH3D15-71). The “Balanced” preset is much more suitable for normal usage because the fans don’t spin that aggressively in this scenario but unfortunately, the GPU TGP is heavily reduced to just 120W.

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.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
