Many people think of sophisticated and stylish PCs when it comes to notebook PCs for creators. However, in reality, the mainstream is that the housing is big and rugged. Since the specifications are similar to gaming notebook PCs, the same accommodation is often used. Many people want a bright and good-looking notebook PC for creators but are disappointed with all the rugged models.
We like to recommend MSI’s “Creator Z16 A11U“ to those who have had such an experience. It is a notebook PC equipped with a 15.6-inch full HD liquid crystal display that supports touch operation and is equipped with Core i7-10870H (8 cores 16 threads, 2.2GHz / maximum 5GHz) as the CPU and GeForce RTX 3080 as the graphic score. It looks like a typical thin business laptop, so it’s hard to believe that you can squeeze/edit photos and videos.
Built-in 32GB memory and 512GB NVMe SSD storage. It also has a Wi-Fi 6E compatible wireless LAN, a 2.5GbE compatible wired LAN, and a USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 3 compatible). The OS is Windows 10 Pro.
