Whoa, this thing has 120 Hertz, 16-inch street, core and nine, a 36. Hold on. So this is even better than my actual desktop. Excuse

The "Mac User Tries a Windows PC" Surprise |
Me, yo Arfat here. This is the creator Z 16 from MSI, which is the perfect blend of power portability looks and ridiculous build quality. Now MSI is running some holiday promos and savings on this configuration as well as a couple of different ones. So if you wanna check that out, I will drop those links down below, inside. This particular model is an 11th gen I nine chip paired with an RTX 30, 60. So plenty of punch, plenty ahead room. And ultimately this is something you can both create and game on. Now. It is no secret. I use a Mac. So when MSI reached out and asked if I wanted to check this out and sponsor a video, I was like, yes, I'm down, but just, no, I use a MacBook pro. So if you send this out, can I give it away? And can I make sure I find it the best home possible MSI of course, those who have been incredible to work with said yes? So I put out a tweet asking if anyone had a friend or a family member that they wanted to surprise and ultimately who could use this laptop. He's
A really good dude. Um, you know, being one of my best friends for years and you know, he's just, he's had it rough, um, for like the last couple years and just kind of, you know, he'll, he'll do well and then he'll hit a rough pack and then he'll go well, and then like something else in life comes up and it's kind of forced and where it's like, okay, I wanna get new tech, but then like this emergency keeps coming up. And so it makes it super hard for him to like, you know, up for need to set up
man, well, that's what we're here to do, right? We're gonna, we're gonna lift each other. So hopefully this can make, a small bit of impact for him. Now as a Mac user, a few things that stood out to me were the build quality, the trackpad, which was nice. This is packed full of power, but at, as a creator, the display is stellar. It packs a 16 by 10 aspect ratio. It's a hundred percent P three and it is color calibrated out of the box. So with Chris's friend, John being into photography and photo editing, this was a crucial part of the process on top of the display being fantastic for creation and photo and video editing. You have 120 Hertz refresh rate. It's a touchscreen. You got port for days cooling for days. And the best part is this thing weighs five pounds.
So even though you're packing that much power inside, it's not gonna be this brick tank that you gotta lug around. Another cool detail. Here is the inclusion of a mini L E D backlit keyboard MSI worked in conjunction with a steel series on this one. And the result is granular control. You have over color and light. The goal for MSI on this machine was to blend tech with power and ultimately sandwich as much power as they possibly could. Inside. The tricky part with this surprise is I wanted to be completely random out of the blue, so it could not come from me. So after talking with Chris, the plan was we would send the package from Chris to John and he told him there were some prints that he was looking to get feedback on.
I told him a card was coming. Maybe I could just say, Hey, there's something else that card, or sure. Something like that. It's a, it's a fairly big box. So what could, what could you possibly say you're sending, are there any projects or anything that, you know, is there a world where you are working on something that you would like his feedback on? Or Maybe like a print or like some artwork I've been shooting all year and just alike, Hey dude, I just wanna like send you this like print, you know? Okay. As a, as a thank, you for like called sport
Sick, let's try that. So we'll, that'll be the rough plan right now. You can shoot. 'em a text tonight saying, Hey man, uh, actually through more than a card together, I have a print that I've been working on. Just wanted to say thank you. It's a little bit. So just keep a heads up, um, to look out for it. And then we'll kind of, Finese the finer details tomorrow.
Yeah, what's up, man. Can you hear me? I can hear you. Cool. Cool. I don't know where to set this thing up. I'm at work right now.Yeah. All right. Let's see. What's going on. Is this another side of it? Oh my God. Oh, pillow side sports going, bro. What is this bro? yo, hold on. Wait a second. Wait for an actual second, bro. What? Hold on. Wow. Actual laptop. Double wait, dude. And like the timing too. Cause remember I told you my other laptop just randomly died on me. Yeah. thank you so much, dude. I don't even know what else to say other than thank you. I'm. I'm so confused. I'm like, yo I have a lot on now. I have been sawing the sticker on the bottom is core I nine. Oh Hey yo, what? Hold on a second. So this is like a real deal. Heavy duty. This is gonna do some work. Hold on. this thing has 120 Hertz, 16-inch screen core, and nine, a 36. Hold on. So this is even better than my actual desktop. Like, excuse me. That's why I was asking you about the specs. yo, try not to cry right now. I know man. Appreciate
It. So operations surprised John was successful and 24 hours later, I wanted to check in with them and see how things were. First of all, build body's crazy. I mean, it feels like MacBook's body style with incredible components inside. Right? Have you done the one-finger test? Like the lift, the screen open, like that's how you know bill 12 is. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And it just stays in place too. Like it doesn't just wobble around. Yeah. Yeah. It's
Nice. Yeah. Then, I really like the trackpad. I was surprised by how good the track Pad I'm surprised too. Yeah. I'm not used to liking windows, laptop has a big old trackpad like this, right? Yeah. Um, keyboards grade too. Um, they even did the fingerprint, uh, reader part. No, that's a nice little thing that they have on there. I'm super grateful. Super appreciative to you guys.
