Title: MSI Creator 15 Laptop Review: A bright 4K display for Content Creators
Post by: Redaktion on October 15, 2020, 15:03:59
The MSI Creator 15 is directed at creative users but might also be interesting for gamers. The RTX GPU plus two RAID SSDs provide sufficient speed and graphics performance for it. Find out what kind of performance you can expect from this combination with Intel's Core i7-10875H and 16 GB of RAM in our review.

There is something wrong with this laptop or the review itself. How come last year's P65 gets 80fps on Witcher 3, but this year's model can only get 56fps with the same GPU!!
The energy consumption looks suspiciously high and the reviewer does not even question this. And the laptop ends up having only 4hrs of normal wifi test, despite a HUGE 99Wh battery. That does not make a lot of sense.
Also, why are there two Creator 65 entries on most tables?? Weird...

I like the no-nonsense case, matte display and good selection of ports, but 16:9 isn't really appropriate for "Creators" and Ice Lake is starting to look a bit last generation by now.

Weird crumb slots on either side of the touchpad. They also made a bad mess of the German keyboard layout, but then who orders that anyways.

I'd be very interested if it came with 16:10. It gets a lot of the other stuff right.

Last Prestige 15 version (which I have) had that annoying trackpad issue that activated it when you pressed the chassis (left and right side), with a force that didn't need to be hard at all

With time (and with trackpad sensitivity set to minimum), it has been worse, even though you get used to not to touch it when you don't deactivate it (when using an external mouse, for example)

Has this been solved in this new iteration?

That sure is an uncormforte looking keyboard and a disappointing lack of Ryzen 9 4900HS here...

Please dont forget to say what the case is made of. After having Mac Book Pros now I'll never buy a plastic laptop again.

The review also left out this display does NOT do HDR.  I was one of the first in America with it in July and I was severely disappointed in this.

Who's creating content on a notebook when there are desktops available with huge amounts of power and far larger screens that you can hookup to??

People who do it on the go. They may travel in a van, hop from hotel to hotel or live on a boat. There's no room for a desktop and often not enough power for hungry desktop CPU and GPUs (like when it all comes from solar and batteries).

MSI says the screen has 100% adobe RGB, how come you tested only 75%? Asking because I ordered this for work and one of the main reasons was because of its adobe color accuracy

I guess the reviewer forget to switch to the aRGB mode in the True Color, he just test it under the sRGB mode (default setting). He also made the same mistake in the review of Prestige 15

can anyone please confirm, if the tested values of only 75% adobe RGB are true? or not. i just noticed even the same comparison table shows 85 and 75% values for the same laptop...
