Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This New Limited RTX Laptop is VERRRY Thin…”.
So we got a limited edition laptop what a fancy unboxing experience. I can tell you that, already in this side of the box limited edition, here’s the laptop actually quite slender – the system is now engaged out of ammo. It’S a actually a collaboration. It’S another one of these studio style laptops it’s for creators. This is a hot segment right now in the laptop category.
It’S a collaboration between msi and hiroshi fujiwara. If you don’t know who he is, i mean they call him. The godfather of streetwear in japan, they they say that he was responsible for for bringing rap and hip-hop to japan. After a trip to new york, he was into music. It’S a.
I was on the wikipedia page he’s a japanese musician producer and designer born in 1964.. This guy’s done a lot. What you’re going to see in a moment here is that we have a very unique aesthetic, which is exclusive and limited in this particular case, and it’s also probably why this box is a little larger than usual.
I think we might have some special goodies on the inside now as far as horsepower is concerned, since it is a creator laptop, it’s gon na have to have some rtx stuff. It’S also gon na. Have the latest intel chips inside check his logo? How cool is that it’s like two lightning bolts, what a fancy unboxing experience! I can tell you that already looking at this look at the color black black black black quadruple black 16 inch qhd plus 165 hertz display oh yeah. The display is also mini, led in here.
It creates a very oled like experience. Intel i7. 11800 h, 2.3 gigahertz. It’S an rtx 306 gigs of video memory, one terabyte ssd, 16 gigs of ddr4.
It’S also got, of course, like wi-fi six and all the latest stuff that you’re gon na want. This is an understated box, but you can kind of tell that something lurks beneath the creator z16 and you can see on this side of the box limited edition. So there’s only a certain number of these units that are going to be available nice to pursue the ultimate aesthetics msi meets hiroshi, fujiwara godfather of streetwear. I wasn’t wrong.
The creator. Z16 hiroshi fujiwara limited edition out of 3000 only a total of 3 000 units. So here’s the laptop actually quite slender, what they’ve been able to achieve over here that is thin. Okay, let’s put it to the side just for a moment and see what else we have in the box.
Ah, an exclusive sleeve handle up top and then entry from this side. This is like a soft, almost microfiber like feeling and it’s padded. So it’s a little bit of protection there as well. Here is your power extension cable. This is your power brick. Since we have rtx, we have to have some decent power. We have 180 watts fairly slender 480 watts. We have an msi padded envelope.
Oh look at this. It comes with a wireless mouse part of the limited edition kit and look at that with your branding your limited edition logo. Lastly, we have a mouse mat again with the branding limited edition.
Okay, let’s get to the main attraction here, the laptop. The first thing i notice is just how thin it is. This is strikingly thin. It has the logo on the top, but it’s subtle here with just like a two-tone effect, so it’s not like overwhelming branding, which is cool blends in there msi logo, above that it’s tapered in the front as well, for this really slim edge on the front side. Trying to get an idea of how slim it is look at the power connector here. You’Ve also got a usb a port.
This is a thunderbolt port, there’s a headphone jack and again in order to determine how thin it is. This is a great demonstration. The body starts to wrap around within the width of the headphone jack and then over on this side, another usb a port, another thunderbolt port and a micro sd card reader.
Okay, let’s crack it open true pixel qhd, plus 100 dci p3. So this is another area of focus on these studio laptops. Is this idea of having an accurate display because of the type of work that they expect people to be doing on here, whether it’s inside of a photo editor video, editor things like this? We have a very wide screen, looking track pad fingerprint scanner over here and chiclet style keyboard. Of course, indication of the geforce rtx, that’s inside for some reason.
There’S a steel series logo did they work together on the keyboard, maybe, and look at that. Golden ratio 16 by 10 gives you a little bit more height, obviously when compared to 16 by 9, and can be the choice for some users as far as productivity is concerned, some people prefer that i myself also do like a 16 by 10 display. Oh look at that also the hinge. This is something i recognize on a number of laptops. Sometimes this doesn’t come back as far as you would like.
If you’re working on the couch, you might want to have some sort of aggressive angle, this will go all the way to completely flat. The system is now engaged. It’S been set up, which is uh, that’s the magic of television when’s, the last time anybody watched television, that’s what youtube is for it’s the magic of youtube, look at this display and that funky background kirk must have set this up, that that is a nice looking Display, though i’ll be honest now this system has rtx in it, so we can of course play games, even though the system is targeted at the creative type.
With this understated design, you’re still going to want to have that capability, and i kind of like it, because actually it can do double duty it can, you can take it in the executive mode. You can take it into work mode, but you can also obviously do a little bit of gaming as well before i boot up a game to see what that’s like. Let’S just move around the laptop a little bit.
The reason for that steel series indicator little logo on. There is because this keyboard has backlighting it’s customizable, yeah msi per key rgb keyboard and the current configuration is rainbow split but of course, there’s others, aqua, roulette and so forth and you’ll be looking at this right. Now, with the lights off, it’s very configurable on a per key basis.
If you want to lock certain keys on a static color, you can do that. Some people might want to have keys that are specific to like in a game, let’s say or shortcuts, in a productivity app that are highlighted in a different color when you’re working in dimly lit light, but you can also get those animations. Just for cool looks whoa.
What’S that christmas disco, it’s got this like funky party aspect in the keyboard area, underneath the hood, but then it’s also got the stealth look on the outside, so it can really go uh either way. So it’s a chiclet style. It’S got a fairly slim travel, but this is kind of the direction for thin and light laptops.
I mean just look at how thin this thing is to begin with, with the lid up, it’s even more impressive how thin it is now. It says dynaudio at the top, so i presume we have some speakers in here. Oh wow, i just found this audio configurator inside of the msi settings check it out. It has presets for music movies communication gaming, so it can do some sort of surround sound emulation. Uh, there’s also a feature in here for voices where you can kind of like enhance the frequency that voices would live in so there’s some different audio settings. Now, let’s watch a little bit of video on this display too. Let me bring up some blue later real quick, so it’s going to be comparable to oled with the mini led tech, so you can see how dark the blacks are capable of getting so. The other thing with this true pixel display gives you a lot of control.
Actually, over the color temperature and brightness and, of course, also color representation, you can choose between srgb adobe rgb. Dci p3 display p3 anti-blue, which is going to be like a low fatigue mode. There’S a productivity mode called office which this is a pretty cool, color temperature. But i kind of like it, it goes more towards blue and then, of course, there’s a complete custom setting where you can go in and distinguish whatever color space.
You want native rec 709, which is what we use, which is what this video is. Probably in again, this is more into the productivity side of things where you would have features like this, because if you were working in some sort of a creative application, you might want control over elements like this play game rip a game play a game. Oh actually, i find the sound to be a little bit more invigorating in game here. It’S like a variety. Is this your profile? That’S right! Demon, horde! Like my skin. I just got that skin.
The ancient gods won. Oh, that’s a dude. We got dude, oh out of ammo out of fuel, [ Laughter, ], [ Applause, ], oh there’s fuel, oh he’s, partially dead. Part of his body is dead, he’s gotten faster. He lost his legs. Somehow he’s more he’s tougher now, even though he’s partial can i chainsaw big dude or no, these dudes go forever yeah, i killed a big dude yeah big dude is dead all right.
Yes, sir, ladies and gentlemen, we can game that that game is just. Why? Don’T we learn a little bit more about this specific collaboration? Oh by the way, the fans are there ever so slightly now kind of makes sense. A couple of frames were served up, so let’s learn a little bit more about hiroshi fujiwara.
Who was the collaborator on this particular design? He’S got a tremendous fan base himself been doing it for a little while he’s a japanese musician producer and designer born in 1964.. Fujiwara was born in ise me. He moved to tokyo at 18 and became a standout in the harajuku street fashion scene. During a trip to new york in the early 1980s, he was introduced to hip-hop taking american records back to tokyo. He became one of japan’s first hip-hop djs and is credited with popularizing the genre in japan.
He subsequently went into music producing specializing in remixes. He is known as a godfather of ura, harajuku fashion or yura, and his globally influential streetwear designer, including being the pioneer for nike’s htm line and the phenom line for levi’s. He launched his first brand good enough in the late 1980s good enough eventually gave way to new project fragment design, the brand which fujiwara dedicates most of his time to as a creative. In 2003, he appeared in the film lost in translation as a musician.
He has collaborated with many artists in 2003, he designed a guitar for clapton, which was custom made by martin guitars for some performances in japan. After an initial run of eight martin built a total of 476 of these ornate black guitars, another fujiwara clapton guitar, followed in 2006. in 2008. Fujiwara made a rare public appearance in the us and participated in the imprint culture labs cult of collaboration. So we’re talking we’re talking. Japanese streetwear is what we’re talking and we’re talking about the godfather of japanese street, where or a godfather, at least dating back to the 1980s, the late 1980s and all these years later, we’re talking 2021 we’re here with an msi collaboration and a stealth laptop .
