MSI built its reputation on notebook computers designed for hardcore gamers, but these days the company has expanded their product lines and now offers a line of workstations for serious professional endeavors. The WF75 is the latest MSI workstation “made for professionals,” and which offers “a reliable and versatile solution for boosting your workflow from concept to final production” with a focus on power and mobility.
Whether you’re working with large, complex CAD models in the office, or need to take your work with you, working engineers need a machine that can stand up to a demanding workload. The MSI WF75 mobile workstation is designed and built for hardworking engineering professionals, as well as engineering students who are in the midst of their education and training. The entire design of the WF75 is specially crafted for the needs of working engineers who often spend long hours on their feet at job sites, travel frequently and need the computing power to create professional technical content wherever they’re working.
These same features offer similar benefits for engineering and technical students whose varied schedules and computing tasks require powerful mobile machines.
One of the key aspects that makes the WF75 appealing for both professional engineers and students alike is the flexibility offered through different usage modes that can be selected for varying work scenarios. These modes include lag reduction during high-performance multi-tasking, noise dampening during video conferencing and a “Super Battery” mode capable of handling an extended workday away from a power source.
Key Specifications of the MSI WF75
MSI’s WF75 features the latest 10th generation Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 GPU. The powerful CPU is equipped with six cores up to 5.0 GHz single core turbo, supplying a 15 percent performance boost, and delivers high performance computing even under the most demanding mobile and multi-tasking scenarios
In the memory department, the WF75 workstation offers up to 64 GB of ECC memory to protect against corruption and data loss, and to improve the speed of reading large files. The WF75 offers up to 1 TB of SSD storage and 1x 2.5 SATA HDD.
The WF75’s display measures 17.3’’ full HD (1920x1080) with close to 100 percent sRGB. The workstation comes equipped with an array of ports including 1x USB 3.2 Type C, 3x USB 3.2 Type A, HDMI, RJ-45, and headphone and mic jacks.
Outperform the Competition with NVIDIA Quadro RTX
The WF75 outperforms the competition thanks to its combination of the latest 10th generation Intel Core i7 processor and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 graphics card.
This pairing enhances power and efficiency by up to 25 percent and is capable of handling large, complex CAD models. Powered by the NVIDIA Turing architecture and NVIDIA RTX platform, the WF75 can produce some of the most significantly advanced computer graphics for professional workflows in over a decade. This makes it easy to create impressive videos with NVIDIA RTX-accelerated editing and rendering.
Showcase Vibrant Color in a Slim Profile
MSI’s WF75 might seem unassuming from a distance, with its slim and lightweight body measuring 22 mm thick and weighing only 2.2 kg.
However, the eye-catching brushed aluminum alloy chassis designed with a drop-down hinge creates a smooth and modern appearance. Opening the workstation reveals a 5 mm thin bezel and an 88 percent body-to-screen ratio. The 17.3’’ display is equipped with True Color Technology, which features exceptional color accuracy and close to 100 percent sRGB coverage. Tailored viewing modes give the user multiple color and display options to provide the best picture no matter the content.
High Performance On-the-Go
Battery life in a mobile workstation is crucial for busy professionals. Engineers on-the-go often don’t have the luxury of plugging in while on job sites, in airports, on the train or a variety of other settings. Students increasingly rely on workstations in class, for remote learning and for special projects and presentations. WF75’s reliable seven-hour super battery leaves one less thing to worry about.
Work can be done in all lighting conditions thanks to a backlit keyboard, featuring silver-lined print and 1.9 mm stroke. The WF75 also includes a fingerprint lock touchpad and Windows Hello support and certification for added security, as well as a Kensington Lock slot to help prevent theft. Users can also employ the simplicity of a password-free experience supported by web service with the latest FIDO2 Authentication. These features make security easy while also being enterprise-grade, keeping high-budget projects fully secure from unauthorized access.
The keyboard includes microphone and webcam control functions to bolster safety during online meetings. There are also assigned function keys for the MSI Creator Center, flip-n-share, print screen and calculator for an efficient working experience.
A high-performance machine isn’t much without fast internet. That’s why the WF75 is equipped with the latest Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, which enables the workstation to achieve speeds three times faster than the previous standard, Wi-Fi 5. Another benefit is that congestion is reduced during heavy bandwidth uses, which comes into play during crowded network situations.
ISV Certification Lets You Use Your Software Your Way
MSI’s WF75 workstation is certified by numerous Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), with four more ISVs added to the list of certifications this year. MSI workstations are certified by 90 percent of leading ISVs representing software for major industries including engineering and manufacturing, automotive, AEC and simulation. These certifications guarantee a professional experience when using many different types of advanced software on MSI workstations.
In 2020, MSI’s workstations—including the WF75—gained certifications from Type 3 vendors including Vectorworks, Graphisoft and Enscape. Other ISV certifications include Autodesk, Dassault, PTC, Siemens, Adobe and ANSYS.
Military Grade Strength for Your Work
A feature not to be overlooked is the WF75’s MIL-STD-810G certification. This military grade certification is essential for engineers who work on-site in a variety of workplace environments where the risk of damage is high. This certification means that the WF75 Workstation is equipped to withstand even extreme working conditions.
So, we all know that accidents happen, but the WF75 workstation has passed multiple tests demonstrating that it can withstand sandy and dusty conditions, vibration, shock, mechanical vibration while in transit, low altitude, high altitude and high temperatures between 35 and 71 degrees Celsius.
MSI Creator Center for Enhanced Creative Experience
MSI WF75 users also benefit from the MSI Creator Center, which helps optimize leading engineering and design software applications through a customizable app-based interface. MSI Creator Center optimization includes options for easily adjustable system modes and resources for a wide range of scenarios, from meetings to multitasking to travel. The Creator Center also supports the ISV certified applications such as those from SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, AutoCAD, ANSYS, Adobe and many more.
