Classified as a productivity laptop, the MSI Creator M14 A13V (2024) measures 314 mm wide, 233 mm deep, and 18 mm thick, with a total volume of approximately 1,317 cm³ and a weight of 1,600 g. It features a backlit keyboard and uses an active cooling design rather than a fanless setup, though it is not weather-sealed or splashproof.
The laptop features a 14-inch IPS display running at a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, which works out to a pixel density of 161 ppi. The panel operates at a 60Hz refresh rate and does not include a touch screen or an anti-reflection coating. The system supports up to four connected displays simultaneously, extending its usefulness for multi-monitor productivity setups.
The CPU runs at 6 x 2.4 GHz and 4 x 1.8 GHz with a turbo boost up to 4.9 GHz, supporting 16 threads with multithreading enabled and a 4 nm semiconductor process, while the system ships with 16GB of DDR5 RAM at 5200 MHz across two slots, expandable to a maximum of 64GB. Storage is handled by a 1TB NVMe SSD using PCIe 4.0, and the GPU carries 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a base clock of 1605 MHz boosting to 2370 MHz, delivering 12.13 TFLOPS of floating-point performance alongside a texture rate of 204.8 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 113.76 GPixel/s. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate but does not include XeSS, and the system is fully 64-bit compatible with multithreading active across all cores.
In standardized benchmark testing, the system achieves a PassMark overall score of 23,805 and a single-core result of 3,569, reflecting the CPU's per-core throughput. The GPU registers a PassMark G3D score of 17,148, providing a reference point for the graphics subsystem's rendering capability.
Wired connectivity includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one HDMI 2.1 output, and one RJ45 ethernet port, while Thunderbolt 3 and 4, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, VGA, and an external memory slot are all absent. Wireless support covers Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) along with Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.3, and AirPlay is also supported.
The laptop is equipped with a 53.5 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is powered off or in sleep mode. A MagSafe power adapter is not included.
The laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headset jack, a front camera, and a single microphone, while Dolby Atmos, S/PDIF Out, and a stylus are not included. On the graphics side, ray tracing and DLSS are both supported, adding rendering flexibility for compatible workloads. Biometric security options are absent — there is no fingerprint scanner or 3D facial recognition — and the machine does not include a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, GPS, voice commands, or an optical disc drive.
The GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and includes 2,560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, 48 render output units, and 64 execution units, backed by a 96-bit memory bus running at an effective speed of 16,000 MHz for a maximum bandwidth of 192 GB/s. It supports stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, Double Precision Floating Point, OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, and Intel Resizable BAR, while LHR is not present. The CPU carries a 115W TDP, a clock multiplier of 24, a maximum temperature rating of 100 °C, 9.5 MB of L2 cache, and 24 MB of L3 cache, uses big.LITTLE hybrid core technology, supports ECC memory and the NX bit, and includes integrated graphics alongside the discrete GPU; the multiplier is locked. Supported CPU instruction sets include SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX, with RAM speeds capped at 5200 MHz across two memory channels and a total transistor count of 18,900 million.
