Performance, autonomy of the MSI Vector 16 HX A14VHG-653FR

The MSI Vector 16 HX A14VHG-653FR may appeal to those who wish to invest in a powerful multimedia versatile laptop PC for gaming and creation.

You can calmly play the most recent games that require 3D resources at a beautiful level of detail.
Because it features one of the most powerful mobile graphics cards of the moment: the high-end dedicated GeForce RTX 4080 12 GB.

Demanding players will therefore be delighted. And creative people too because the GeForce RTX 4080 accelerates multimedia processing under software that takes advantage of GPU computing power, such as the Adobe suite, Vegas or VSDC.

The GeForce RTX 4080 is in practice used by NVIDIA Optimus technology to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, a graphics solution directly inserted into the processor.

If watching HD photos and videos is possible with the GeForce RTX 4080 or the Iris battery in light use.

Depending on needs, Optimus automatically switches in real time between the Intel Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 4080.

The Iris Xe takes place in the Core i7-14650HX, high-end processor Raptor Lake Refresh with 16 hybrid cores coupled here with a good amount of 32 GB RAM to provide a lot of overall power capable of satisfying the most demanding users. Because it is incommensurable with that provided by the vast majority of models on the market.

In games, the GeForce RTX 4080 is well supported by this heart which will delight creators. Multimedia processing is indeed carried out much faster with this core than with a classic Quad/Hexa/Octo Core as well as 16/24 GB DDR4/5.

The storage is up to par since it is entrusted to an SSD with a comfortable capacity of 1000 GB to accommodate multiple games, software and files including, if desired, personal creations.

Both energy efficient, silent and shock resistant, an SSD offers high speed. It thus reinforces responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.

Thanks to the SSD we can quickly access online game cards for example while launching games/software, processing and starting/stopping are done quickly.

We appreciate that an M.2 slot is available to insert a second SSD if necessary if you wish to increase the capacity, which is interesting for scalability.

Finally, it is noisy when pushed hard (e.g. games, treatments) but the temperatures are then well contained despite the high power delivered.
