MSI Creator 17 Design

The MSI Creator 17 also gets an aluminum chassis, just like the Creator Z16 laptop. However, it sports a Core Black colour coat over a sandblasted lid. Despite being a 17-inch notebook, the Creator 17 only weighs about 2.5 Kgs, which is quite impressive. The best thing about the Creator 17 is that it doesn't look overly obnoxious, unlike most other 17-inch laptops.

The MSI Creator 17 is touted to be the world's first laptop with a mini LED 4K display. It also has up to 1000 nits of brightness, which is quite impressive. Just like the Creator Z16, MSI says this laptop display also covers a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut with 4K and precise calibrated accuracy. We'll obviously try to get our hands on the laptop and come up with our detailed report on the display performance.

All models of the Creator 17 get a 17-inch 4K HDR 1000 panel. You only get support for up to 60Hz refresh rate but that's not really a surprise considering the fact that it's a 4K panel. The display also appears to have slim bezels on the side, which is always a good thing.
