MSI Vector 16 HX A13V review – Titan Performance in a 16-inch Package
Nowadays, you can find a lot of high-end devices in a 17-inch or 18-inch form factor. On the other hand, if you want a smaller machine with top-end hardware, your choice is fairly limited. Still, with the aid of Vector 16 HX A13V, MSI tries to prove that a 16-incher can perform as well as some of its bigger siblings with larger displays. Specs-wise, the device is a true monster. You get a choice of Intel Raptor Lake HX CPUs with tons of cores and the latest and greatest NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPUs with the highest possible power limits.
Display-wise, there are two IPS variants. The base one is a 144Hz 1200p unit and you can opt for a 240Hz 1600p model. There are no fancy OLED or 4K panels here. The absence of G-Sync support is quite strange given the price tag of the notebook. Still, there is a MUX switch for the best possible graphics performance, when the AC adapter is plugged in. For longer battery life, you can find an iGPU-only mode in the MSI Center app.
It’s great to see that one of the M.2 slots is compatible with Gen 5 NVMe drives. Speaking of internals, the Cooler Boost 5 cooling solution is quite massive with its six heat pipes, which is quite a logical solution considering the 175W video card under the hood. You can also rely on Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity, a big battery, a rich port selection, and a per-key RGB keyboard.
