MSI Vector 16 HX A13V review – Titan Performance in a 16-inch Package
Source: Laptop Media
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.

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.
