5.0 out of 5 stars MSI M16: A great computer with a few manageable drawbacks
By Adam Nix
Let's get this out of the way first - the cons:The MSI M16 is a bulky, heavy beast of a computer. Its touchpad sucks, its battery life is mediocre, and the black plastic shell attracts fingerprints like a shower drain gathers hair. It would also be great if it had a MicroSD card slot, but I acknowledge that's what adapters are for.The pros:Everything else about the laptop is great. Performance is super smooth, not very loud or hot even when playing modern graphics games like Baldur's Gate 3 or Red Dead Redemption. Works well for 3D design, word processing, etc. as well. Speakers are good, and the cooling hex design on the underside is pretty cool looking. 3 regular USB ports, a USB-C port, HDMI, Ethernet, and a headphone jack cover pretty much all the bases in terms of inputs/outputs. If you can get it on sale, it's well worth the $1100 sale price. I wouldn't pay $1.5k or more for it, but it's a great computer at the price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

What specific advantages does the AMD Ryzen AI 9-365 processor provide for AI tasks?
The AMD Ryzen AI 9-365 processor includes a dedicated AI engine (NPU) built into the chip, which is designed to accelerate performance for generative AI tools and digital assistants directly on the laptop, without relying solely on the cloud or the main GPU.
What is the actual resolution and aspect ratio of the 16-inch MiniLED display?
The display has a 4K UHD+ resolution of 3840 x 2400 pixels, which is a 16:10 aspect ratio. This provides more vertical screen space compared to standard 16:9 4K displays and is paired with a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother motion.
Is the 32GB of RAM soldered to the motherboard, and what type is it?
The RAM is 32 GB of LPDDR5x memory. The 'LP' in LPDDR5x stands for Low Power and this type of memory is typically soldered onto the motherboard, meaning it is not user-upgradeable after purchase.
Does this laptop support the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, and what are the real-world benefits?
Yes, it includes Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) connectivity. Compared to older Wi-Fi 6/6E, Wi-Fi 7 offers significantly higher potential speeds, lower latency, and improved performance in congested wireless environments, which can benefit high-quality video streaming and large file transfers.
What is the physical size and weight of this laptop for portability?
The laptop measures 14 x 10.24 x 0.79 inches and weighs 4.63 pounds. This makes it relatively portable for a 16-inch laptop with this level of performance and a high-resolution MiniLED display.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good So Far!

I heard mixed reviews on this. I took a chance and it's only been 2 weeks, but so far so good. The Alienware software takes about 10 to 20 seconds to load when first opening it. after that 5-10. The back end got flack for being too big. But Who is really carrying around a 16 inch gaming laptop. Keys feel great. RGB is good. Keys are clear and not blinding like most RGB backlits. Design is good imo. feels premium. Cam is decent. Touch pad is smooth. Display is nice, all text is clear and colors are good. I heard many people complaining about the brightness levels. But in a dark room I actually turn the brightness down. And in my home with normal outdoor light coming in, I have no issues with the brightness. 2 usb 2 usb c, this is the only downside. in my opinion. I wish there was one more. I do like there are no cables coming from the sides. All ports in back. Cleaner desk look. will update if I have any issues.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this laptop!!!

This laptop is a GIANT waste of money. It didn't last for 2 weeks before the system stopped charging itself and shut down. I had to return it without being able to remove my data. I am VERY disappointed with this product and purchase.
