As a creator I don’t mind a mediocre trackpad. I always use a mouse.

9:12 Why would the 4k (on battery) premiere pro 🤔 jump up in export time SO much? UPDATE: Also, THANK YOU so much for this video! I am between the MSI Creator, Zephyrus, Razer and Omen, oh AND Now ZenBook Pro Duo...(maybe others)... I am wanting the right one the 1st time, we got a desktop for Adobe and games and it gives me errors even though the Best Buy guys said "are trying to hack the pentagon" we were just wanting 2 32g and the highest gpu available at the time (really lost our trust). Glad I found BenG!!! Oh! And I don't know if I am the only one but, do you explain what the 1st bench marks are, in any videos? Like Cinebench and Geekbench

I wish you had some kind of document/web page with the cumulative result of your battery life tests for comparison. Would be kind of nice to have some context around that critical piece of information.

Ben, great review as usual. Could you do a comparison between Lenovo X1 Xtreme Gen 4 and Dell XPS 15? Thank you.

Cant wait to see 12 gen detail review by you both mobile and desktop cpu

Hi! To be relevant, the test charts must contain also the graphic card used, not only the cpu. Also the batery test, if this a comparision, it is better to have in the same window the both results, not separate. The same is for the fan noise and thermals.

So helpful. Thanks for the feedback.

love your content! Can you maybe include Blender tests in upcoming M1 Pro/Max review :)

Hi I have a question, which navegator had you used on the battery life comparative? Because I have battery issues with the z16 (4-5h reproducing videos) and I thought that it could be the problem. You would help me a lot. Ty

Hey there, you are doing a great job btw just one suggestion and that is for the GPU bound benchmarks ie.autodesk 3ds. its better to have the GPU config of each laptop in front of their name instead of their CPU config. ❤

I just bought the m16 didn’t realize they cheaped out on the keyboard till I started using it. I mean the acer nitro has a 4 zone RGB keyboard. Why did Asus do that?

I just wished Asus had made both RAM channels upgradeable. FYI, love your channel review approach! keep it going!

Try to find the 32gb model, where you have 16 soldered, it should suffice and be futureproof

That was a great review!!!

Hi Ben, love your videos, if money was not a problem which laptop would you absolutely recommend? Graphics designer, light gaming…

Will you do this with the new z16p?!!

Can upgrade everything from wifi card, M.2 SSD gen4 x2 and x2 ram slots (up to 64 3200MHz) ....you will need to open the bottom cover and dismental the motherboard and flip the board to get to the upgradable area!

so why didn't you use the I9 version of the Z16, then it would be a fair fight.

Hi mate . If you don't know , the m16 also has the option of intel i7 11800h. The intel i7 11800h on the M16's chassis has the same score of the i9 11900h. I really think that the MSI Z16 has a lower power ( TDP) limit than M16 cuz of the heat and fan noise thus lower scores. I've seen quite a few other laptops brands running the i7 11800h and they are having similar scores as the i9 11900h, this is not just Asus.

a big problem with the Z16 is that it cannot charge through USB-C...it's absurd. Why???

As a content creator who exclusively uses an MX Master 3 and/or Wacom pad when working, the trackpad on the Z16 was a non-factor for me. The overall build quality and design of the Z16 was far and away better than its competitors, and that's why I chose it (11900H version, 32 GB RAM). Loving the content, Ben. In-depth and comprehensive. You are a definite YT go-to.

I have the i9 z16 and I use the same mouse. Plus my computer has a touch screen so I hardly ever use the track pad so it wasn't an issue for me. Plus the benchmarks in the video were an i7 z16 to an i9 M16 which I'm sure the i9 z16 would as fast or faster than the M16.

@Adam Galovič Meh... the i9 can keep up in productivity with the R9, it beats it when gaming and (strangely) runs cooler. It just loses a bit on energy efficiency but it got much much better than 10th gen. Moreover gives you TB4 and PCi 4.0. I really don't see why it would be a waste of money

The Glossy screen is a red flag for me.

I agree with the review but I need 32 GB of dual channel memory. Getting that in the M16 is near impossible. The trackpad on the Z16 is a nope.

would you chose g15 over m16? why?

@BenGKaiser

I really like both. The screen on the M16 is great, but the G15 has that stellar Ryzen 9 5900HS processor, which I really like.

The Asus would be great if it wasn't for that silly lift thing when the display is open. Can't use it on the lap without the screen moving around everywhere

The Z16's webcam has terrible latency issues Ben . . .

i never like the trakcpads i always found them usefull if they could eliminate them and make the price less well they should do it.

Difficult to compare, of course for gaming the M16 stands out. But for professional work (video-editing), ..) the M1 Max dominates the M16 clearly.

I have the msi creator z16 i9 32gb and it's a great laptop. I use a mouse and the touch screen so the track pad is a non issue for me. It's seriously powerful and very well built. I'm coming from a 2019 mbp 16in and this is an upgrade for sure from macbook even with the new ones that came out.

@@rigelr5345 when in high power mode and heavy work load the fan noise is loud. To me it's not an issue. I will say that the power of this laptop is its like taking a desktop with you in regards to power. It's an extremely capable laptop in a light chassis. It's not power efficient but it's not supposed to be. It's design to e portable and plug in when you get to location. I always run it with the power cord in.

M16 don't have a mux switch and this is I9 vs I7 not even a fair comparison..

The new MSI creator 12th gen has solved the issue with a bigger track pad and should be much faster in term of performance along with a better battery life.

is this true? do you know if they also fixed the non-charge through usb?

Fan always spinning on a laptop is the biggest annoyance for me. Can't imagine choosing MSI because of this (and the glossy screen). Also if you're a creator and you're saying the trackpad is a non-factor, you're just defending a company that cheaped out. Even as a creator you'll be using that laptop occasionally for regular tasks and I can tell you that at those moments the big trackpad (I have a G15) is the best thing your laptop can possibly be equipped with.

I'd prefer a bigger top speaker than a big trackpad, and what serious creator uses a trackpad? benchmarks were pointless when comparing an MSI I7 to an ASUS I9. serious creators using trackpads- no issues. Agreed - glossy screen ruined the MSI.

The Asus seems to show fingerprints

I have owned 4 Asus top end gaming lap tops every 2 years they fall apart. Im upwards of 12,000 dollars into their PCs and they are not worth the money, Over heating to game card crashes and always the power bricks are trash. I am looking at the MSI Z16 because I never pay less than 2k for a lap top. I'm done with ASUS!!!

You don't want PLASTIC BODY, but want less weigh. Metal have high density, the low density metal are costly or poisonous, not safe to touch or work around with naked skin. I don't understand the "200" grams heavier logic.

Bro just use a mouse 😂
