Would be cool if you could either open a thread in the MSI section or post in the GT77 thread. When will you get it? My ETA is early September.

Redrider Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I have a few reservations with this laptop. Screen brightness is one video outputs are another. There was a GT77 on display at a store. The screen brightness was poor. The tech couldnt answer questions on the video out puts. On the other thread this was mentioned on a link posted. There really isn't any information on this laptop except from MSI. Is it the same chassis as GT77? Looking forward to what information comes out on this.

The display brightness is a concern of mine too. I sent some emails to MSI to find out. I'll share if I get a response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also curious if the default keyboard backlight scheme is just plain white so it can be used in an office environment without any config override needed. I am also curious if the memory can operate at 4800MT/s in a one dimm per channel configuration (two sticks total max 64GB). That would set it apart from the Thinkpad P16 which is 4000MT/s regardless of how many modules are installed.

1610ftw Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 A review of the CreatorPro X17: https://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=241&t=6688604&utm_campaign=idle_article&utm_content=3&utm_medium=idlebox&utm_source=mobile01&utm_term=idle No expense is spared to have expert reviewers on the job, quality reporting: Female highlights aside the review translates well to English and that young lady is along for the ride for a few more pics, no complaints from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1610ftw Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Another review courtesy of pcmag.com https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/msi-creatorpro-x17 Overall rather positive but I got to laugh at the supposed lack of portability - if you cannot carry 7 pounds plus a smaller power supply for mobile use then it is probably time to do something about that, we used to carry a lot more and did not have that kind of especially CPU power at our disposal. As usual no mention of the true downside which is the soldered GPU and especially CPU but why mention it when it is mostly a thing of the past...
