MSI Creator Z16 Debuts as the rival to the MacBook Pro we’ve been waiting for
MSI has announced a new laptop in its Creator line, the Z16 — and it is unabashedly a MacBook Pro alternative. It’s a 16-inch creator-focused laptop with a silver chassis, black keys, and aluminum unibody chassis. It even matches the screen size (16-inch), resolution (2500 x 1600), and aspect ratio (16:10) with the MacBook Pro 16-inch.
But there’s also quite a lot about the Creator Z16 that might make it an attractive alternative to the 16-inch MacBook Pro.
First off, that 16-inch panel has a 120Hz refresh rate. Higher refresh rates have been exclusive to gaming laptops so far, and a feature Apple has resisted bring to its Macs. The higher refresh rate’s most obvious application is gaming, but it’s also a quality-of-life feature that makes simple tasks like scrolling and animation much smoother.
It also offers a wider selection of ports, including USB-A, two Thunderbolt 4, and a Micro SD card slot.
The MSI Creator Z16 looks like it has the performance chops to match the design. It has been updated with the new 11th-generation Intel H-series processors, which are eight-core, 45-watt processors. They’re akin to what the current MacBook Pro 16-inch currently uses, though they should be a bit faster with the optimizations Intel has made over the past couple of years. MSI is offering either the Core i7-11800H or the Core i9-11900H.
The MSI Creator Z16 also comes with an Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card with the new Nvidia Studio drivers. We’ve seen some impressive results from these graphics cards in gaming laptops in the past few months, but now Nvidia has brought them to professional laptops with a focus on content creators. With Dynamic Boost turned on, they can be delivered up to 60 watts of power. If you rely on Adobe Premiere Pro, these new graphics and drivers should be a boon to your workflow.
