MSI has recently introduced its 2023 CreatorPro series, featuring three models that cater to different budgets and requirements. The X17 HX is the most high-end option, boasting an Intel i9-13980HX processor paired with an RTX 3500 Ada professional GPU. This GPU includes 5120 cores, 12 GB of VRAM, and a 192-bit memory bus, offering relative performance similar to that of an RTX 2060 Super desktop GPU. The X17 HX is equipped with a 17.3-inch 4K MiniLED IPS display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, providing an immersive visual experience. Additionally, it can accommodate up to 128 GB of DDR5 RAM and offers a storage solution of 1x PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and 2x PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, providing ample space for data storage.
The Z17 and Z16 HX models, on the other hand, offer mid-tier performance, powered by an i9-13950HX processor and an Nvidia RTX 3000 or RTX 2000 Ada professional GPU, supporting RTX Studio specifications. These models feature 17-inch and 16-inch IPS touchscreens with support for MSI’s Pen2, 165 Hz refresh rate, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. The RAM capacity is limited to 64 GB DDR5, and there is support for only one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, making it a more affordable option. The Z models are equipped with a single Thunderbolt 4 connector and a smaller 90 Wh battery, making them less portable than the X17 HX.
Lastly, the M16 models are the most budget-friendly option and come with an i7-13700H processor and up to an RTX 3000 Ada professional GPU, featuring entry-level RTX A1000 GPUs with 6 GB VRAM. The RAM is limited to 64 GB DDR5, and the storage solution supports 2x PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots. The 16-inch screen has QHD+ and FHD+ IPS options with a 144 Hz refresh rate, providing decent visual quality. This model is equipped with a fingerprint sensor but lacks Thunderbolt 4 and an SD card reader. Despite having the biggest profile at 26.95 mm, the M16 is the lightest model, weighing only 2.29 kg.
