Overview

Business laptop

A 16-inch business laptop built around Intel Core Ultra H processors, offered here with a Core Ultra 7 255H or Core Ultra 9 285H. MSI pairs them with a 1920 × 1200 IPS-level touchscreen, DDR5-5600 memory and a 55 Wh battery. Notebookcheck weighed its Core Ultra 7 255H unit at 2.12 kg and found it heavier and thicker than many 16-inch office laptops, which counts against it for frequent travel.

  • Two SO-DIMM slots

    Memory sits in two SO-DIMM slots that take up to 96 GB of DDR5, and storage uses a single M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 slot. Notebookcheck found the bottom panel comes off with a Phillips screwdriver.

  • Steady 44 W under load

    In Notebookcheck's testing the Core Ultra 7 255H held about 44 W under sustained load, with the CPU around 71 °C in Prime95 and surface temperatures of 35 to 37 °C.

  • Basic 60Hz IPS panel

    Notebookcheck measured the 60Hz IPS touchscreen at 322 nits with 57.4% sRGB coverage, which is fine for office work but too narrow for colour-critical editing.

Processor

The Core Ultra 7 255H and Core Ultra 9 285H both have 16 cores and integrated graphics with 8 Xe-cores, so the step up to the 285H mainly brings a higher 5.4 GHz boost clock (5.1 GHz on the 255H) and suits buyers who also want the 1 TB SSD. The 285H is listed with 32 GB or 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD; the 255H version has 32 GB and 512 GB.
