It's been months since Intel launched its 11th Gen Intel Core CPUs for laptops. MSI is finally joining the party with a bunch of new Intel Tiger Lake models, with three new ones for its Creator series - the Creator Z16, Creator M16, and Creator 17.

First, let's take a look at the Creator Z16. It's a 16-inch laptop that comes with a QHD+ (2560x1600, 16:10) touchscreen IPS display, with a 120Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. The laptop is powered by an Intel Core i7 CPU, up to 64GB of RAM, two NVMe SSD slots, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU (6GB VRAM). It also has four stereo speakers, so you can tell that MSI wanted this to be good for movies and games too.

Next up is the Creator M16, which can be considered a lite variant of the Z16. Most of its specs are similar, but there are some notable differences. For instance, the display doesn't have a 120Hz refresh rate or touchscreen support. MSI also included only the NVMe SSD slot and the more modest GeForce RTX 3050 GPU (4GB VRAM) for this laptop. Besides that, it only has a total of two speakers and a smaller battery (3-cell vs 4-cell).

Finally, there's the cutting edge Creator 17. This is a 17.3-inch laptop that features a MiniLED 4K panel that supports HDR 1000 and has a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. It also has superior processing power, with a processor of up to Intel Core i9 and up to GeForce RT 3080 GPU (16GB VRAM). Moreover, it has two Dynaudio-tuned speakers, a 99.9 WHr battery, Thunderbolt 4 port, and more.
