After upgrading its gaming laptops with Intel’s latest 12th-Gen processors and Nvidia’s RTX 30-series GPUs earlier this year, MSI has now launched a bunch of new creator-focused laptops with the latest RTX GPUs and the latest 12th-Gen Intel processors. This includes two new models under its CreatorPro Z-series and three under the CreatorPro M-series. So, let’s take a closer look at the key specs and features.
MSI CreatorPro Z Series
Starting with the CreatorPro Z series, it consists of the CreatorPro Z17 and the CreatorPro Z16P. While both laptops feature similar specs, there are a few key differences between them. For starters, the CreatorPro Z17, as the name suggests, sports a 17-inch QHD+ display with support for a 165Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 16:10 aspect ratio. It’s a touch screen with MSI Pen support. The CreatorPro Z16P, on the other hand, comes with a 16-inch panel but with the same features.
As for the I/O ports, both the laptops feature a Thunderbolt 4 port with PD charging, a USB-C Gen 2 port, a USB-A port, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack. However, the Z17 features an additional HDMI port that can support an external 8K 60Hz display or a 4K 120Hz monitor.
MSI CreatorPro M Series
Coming to the CreatorPro M series models, there are three – the CreatorPro M17, the CreatorPro M16, and the CreatorPro M15, coming with 17.3-inch, 16-inch, and 15.6-inch screens, respectively. While the higher-end M17 model supports a 144Hz refresh rate, while the M16 does not. However, both the M17 and the M16 come with QHD+ displays with a screen resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels. The M15, on the other hand, features an FHD panel, though there is an optional model with a 144Hz display.
Coming to the ports, there is a USB-C port, two USB-A 3.2 ports, a USB-A 2.0 port, an HDMI port with support for 4K 60Hz displays, and a 3.5mm audio jack on the M17 and the M16. The M15 comes with a USB-C port, three USB-A 3.2 ports, an HDMI port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Now, coming to the price and availability of the new CreatorPro series laptops, MSI has not revealed the details at the time of writing.
