Generally, with these types of laptops, it is cheaper to buy them future-proofed in the configuration you'll need, compared to upgrading them yourself. Storage is also upgradeable, however, there's only one NVMe PCIe Gen 4 slot, so any expansion means a full replacement of your main drive. The MSI M16 has two slots of memory which are both upgradeable. While there are other similarly specced laptops for around $1400-$1500, including the $1499 MSI Pulse GL66 with a 15.6" FHD 144Hz, Intel Core i7-12700H, RTX3060, 16GB RAM, and 512GB NVMe, the MSI M16 can be seen as one of the better choices for those who are willing to forego some gaming-focused features such a faster refresh rate, and prioritize a larger and more color-accurate display, in an overall sleeker, minimalist design.
The benefits however include better build quality with less flex, better port selection with Gigabit LAN, full-size USB, and HDMI, as well as very effective thermal management with their Cooler Boost 5 Cooling system. Despite being an all-plastic build, the laptop is rather thick and heavy, at 1.08" and 4.97 lbs, which can be noticeable when taking this on the go. The all-black design with its glossy black MSI dragon logo is rather bland and uncharacteristic but is a safe choice considering this laptop can be used by creators, gamers, business people, and more. Compared to traditional 15.6 1920x1080 panels, you are getting more screen real estate in a similar footprint. The MSI M16 comes standard with a 16" 16:10 QHD+ (2560×1600) True Color panel with thin bezels that can flip 180° to lay flat.
