MSI’s big updates this year focused mostly on the company’s AI and hardware businesses, between laptops, desktops, and all-in-one PCs.
MSI has also introduced a new Ice Blue color for the Claw 8 AI+ and updated its line of desktop components for a new ecosystem. But there were four new products that really shined in MSI’s new lineup and it wasn’t just a chipset refresh or a new coat of paint.
Raider 16 Max HX
This year, CES didn’t bring all-new gaming processors, but that didn’t stop MSI from updating the Raider 16 with more power. With an impressive 300W of power, the Raider 16 Max HX is MSI’s “most powerful laptop ever.” Which is saying a lot considering the sheer strength of the past year Raider A18 HX.
The Raider 16 Max HX’s total power of 300W will be split between the laptop Intel Core Ultra 200HX CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 or 5090 GPU with 125W CPU and 175W GPU split.
Plus, it has a quick access panel on the bottom cover to upgrade memory and storage more easily. So, even if the Raider 16 Max HX costs more than rent, you’ll be able to keep it for years.
Prestige 14 Flip AI
It’s similar to last year’s Prestige 14 Flip AI Summit 13 AI+though it has a sleek new Prestige design instead of Summit’s black and gold color scheme and features Intel’s new Core Ultra 300 series CPUs.
With the MSI Pen 2 and a 360-degree convertible hinge, the Prestige 14 Flips are the most portable and versatile device in the new Prestige range.
Vision RS AI second generation
And it just looks beautiful. Instead of the usual RGB-heavy gaming design, the Vision RS AI 2nd Gen is clean and simple. Additionally, it can be equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and an Nvidia RTX 5090.
MPG 27QRF X36
It also has a built-in webcam and an ultra-sleek design with a sturdy base.
