Introduction to the MSI Creator Z16 and Hiroshi Fujiwara Limited Edition
What's up, guys? SuperSaf here, and this is the MSI Creator Z16 as well as the Creator Z16Hiroshi Fujiwara Limited Edition. This has been made in collaboration with fragment design, the world-famous street wear brand directed by the godfather of street fashion, Hiroshi Fujiwara. Now, I believe this is one of the first videos in the world with the limited edition. So a thumbs up for your boy would be appreciated.
Design and Display
Now, as the name suggests, these are laptops that have been designed from the ground up for creators. And guess what I am? A content creator. I spend most of my time editing video images, doing lots of motion graphics. And that's what the Z16 series is all about. Now, I want to start off by talking about the displays. We do have 16 inch Quad HD+ 16 by 10 displays, and MSI called this the golden ratio, which is ideal for content creators.
For example, if you're editing video, you can have your timeline across the bottom without having to sacrifice too much vertical screen space. Now, with the Z16, you do have a 120 Hertz refresh rate, making things super smooth, and there's also 100% BCIP three-color gamma, making things very accurate. You can get this with or without touch. Personally speaking, I don't use touch much on a laptop but what is great about the Z16 is that you can put it all the way down to 180 degrees.
In a situation like this, if you're presenting something around the table, for example, having touch is super convenient. Now, the limited edition takes things even further. We've got a 165 Hertz refresh rate, making things even smoother, but more importantly we have a peak brightness of 1000 nits. That's right, 1000 nits peak brightness on a laptop. Generally, most laptops have between 400 to 500 nits.
Having 1000 nits is amazing, especially when it comes to image editing. You do need all of that brightness. And for me, I'm always wearing sunglasses when I'm outdoors. Absolutely awesome.
Performance
Now, let's move on to the design, so we do have a CNC milled aluminum chassis, which is very sturdy. There's really not much to say about this, it's just a great build quality that makes you feel like the laptop will last for years to come. Now, I'd love to tell you more about the internals but unfortunately, there isn't any information available.
Now, I want to go back to the display section and talk about the performance of the laptop. The Z16 does come with a variety of options when it comes to RAM and storage, so we'll get into those in a minute. But for now, let's just say that with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, this thing can handle anything you throw at it.
Pricing
The Z16 does start at around $1,900 in the UK that is for the base model. But I'm going to believe some links down in the description below, which will give you the latest pricing and availability, including for the limited edition. Now, this laptop is definitely not cheap but as we've discussed, it's a top of the line machine that can handle even the most demanding tasks.
Conclusion
What do you guys think of the MSI Creator Z16 and the Hiroshi Fujiwara Limited Edition? I personally absolutely loving the limited edition, especially with this matte black finish. I can see myself using one of these as my daily drivers as a content creator. I hope you enjoyed this video and found it useful.

can you hear it?(trackpad clicking)There's also a fingerprint scannerwith Windows Hello justbelow the keyboard.I actually prefer this position.I know some people mightprefer it on the power button,but for me, this is a lot more reachable.For ports, you do have 2Thunderbolt full ports,2 type A USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports,and you have one each on either side,which makes things very convenient.There's an audio combo jack,as well as a micro SD card reader.Now, personally speaking,I would have preferreda full-size SD card slotbecause most of the camerasthat I use do have full-size SD.There's Wi-Fi 6E,so if you do have a compatible router,you'll be able to takeadvantage of those speeds.And for speakers,we do have a four seriesspeaker setup by Dynaudio,and they sound really, really good.We've got decent amount of separation.Generally, when I'm editing the videos,I don't need to plug in headphones.I can just use the speakershere on the laptops.Right now, for the battery,we do have a 90W battery,which does support fast chargingwith the included 180 Watts power adapter.Now usage is obviously goingto vary from person to person.If you're doing some light usage,you can get quite a few hours on this.In my experience,when it comes to editing imagesand video on a full charge,you can get on averagearound three hours of usage.I generally do tend to keepmy power adaptor with me though,because obviously, you arepushing out a lot of pixelswith that refresh rate aswell as that peak brightness.Finally, pricing, now the Z16 does startat around 1,900 pounds in the UKthat is for the base model.But I'm going to beleaving some links downin the description below,which will give you the latestpricing and availability,including for the limited edition.What do you guys thinkof the MSI Creator Z16and the Hiroshi Fujiwara Limited Edition?I personally absolutelyloving the limited edition,especially with this matte black finish.I can see myself using one of theseas my daily drivers as a content creator.I hope you enjoyed thisvideo and found it useful.If you did, then do smashthat like button for me.And if you haven't already,then be sure to subscribe,hit that bell icon;so you don't miss futurecoverage like this.Thanks for watching.This is Saf on SuperSaf TV.I'll see you next time.(dramatic music)\n"
