Title: MSI Vector 16 HX laptop review: Titan performance without the Titan price
Post by: Redaktion on February 03, 2024, 22:33:33
Thin-and-light gaming laptops are nice and all, but they often shave off some GPU performance in order to reach a certain size and weight. The MSI Vector 16 HX is unabashedly big in order to preserve and improve graphics performance as much as possible.

Quoteall options at the moment include the same Core i9-14900HX CPU

Intel seems to have so sort of strange power over manufacturers since we see much great flexibility with Nvidia cards.

It is clear the system is too powerful for the chassis, it is inacceptable the noise it makes in idle and balanced mode.

Hahaha! Compare RAM performance here and in the next review of Titan! Here the same RAM works 40% (literally) faster! Shame on the developers of MSI's Titan model - they all need to do sepukku!

Quotelarge and heavy even for its size category
))))))) Author, this is just funny. Compare this runt to my Dell G5 5587 15.6" - 2.83 kg and almost 17" body dimensions. This is a truly quiet machine!

QuoteHDMI 2.1 (8K @ 60Hz / 4K @ 120Hz)
The author is lying again. HDMI 2.1 does not support 8k@60fps monitor quality in lossless mode. Only with loss of information during DSC lossy compression. This must be specified.

4k is not 120Hz, but 165Hz, if it is real 2.1 with FRL6. But the author didn't even check this. What kind of model review is this if such "little things" are not checked?

Again, fake 240Hz - really 100-110Hz at most.

Slow RJ45 - 5-10Gbps required to access home NAS.

The author himself wrote about the completely damaged idiotic numpad on the keyboard - this completely puts an end to this laptop as a working one.

However, with the terrible noise level that it has, it's unlikely that anyone will want to work behind it.

Well, games are for those not faint of heart to hellish noise... ;)

PS, is it possible to build a desktop with 4080 for this money? It will be clearly quieter and 1.5 times faster even on the GPU and many times more convenient to upgrade in parts...

QuoteKeep in mind that the TITAN has 128GB installed not 32GB, more RAM you have lower speeds you get, compare them both with 32GB, then you can draw your conclusion.
