MSI have shown off what they're billing as the world's first laptop with a Mini-LED display at CES 2020.
Shown off in Las Vegas this week, the new MSI Creator 17 features a 17-inch 4K display and Mini LED backlighting. MSI say it can deliver a peak brightness of 1000-nits and a wide color gamut of 100% DCI-P3.
Exact specs for the Creator 17 aren't yet known but MSI have confirmed the device will come equipped with "the latest in CPU and GPU processing", "the first Type-C port to support outputting 8K image to an external display" and a UHS-III SD card reader.
If you're unfamiliar with Mini-LED, it's worth noting that it's less of a replacement for traditional LCD-LED and more of a succesor to the LED backlights found in such traditional displays. For more on Mini-LED and how it differs from Micro-LED, check out this guide.
Australian pricing and availability for the MSI Creator 17 are to be determined.
