MSI wants you to know it's more than just a gaming brand

FULL STORY ======================================================================

MSIs big updates for the year mostly focused on the companys business and AI devices, between laptops, desktops, and all-in-one PCs.

MSI also brought out a new glacier blue colorway for the Claw 8 AI+ and updated its desktop components line for a fresh new ecosystem. But there were four new products that truly shined in MSIs new lineup and they werent just a chipset refresh or new coat of paint. Raider 16 Max HX (Image credit: Future)

This year, CES didnt come with all-new gaming processors, but that didnt stop MSI from updating the Raider 16 for even more power. Promising an astounding 300W of power, the Raider 16 Max HX is MSIs most powerful laptop ever. Which is saying a lot considering the sheer power of last years Raider A18 HX .

The Raider 16 Max HXs incredible 300W of total device power will be split between the laptops Intel Core Ultra 200HX CPU and its Nvidia GeForce RTX
5080 or 5090 GPU with a split of 125W to the CPU and 175W to the GPU.

Plus it's got a quick-access panel on the bottom cover to more easily upgrade memory and storage. So even if the Raider 16 Max HX costs more than your
rent, youll be able to hold onto it for years. Prestige 14 Flip AI (Image credit: Future)

The Prestige 14 Flip AI is similar to last years Summit 13 AI+ , though it's got the new, sleek Prestige design rather than the Summits black and gold color scheme and features Intels new Core Ultra 300 series CPUs.

With the MSI Pen 2 and a 360-degree convertible hinge, the Prestige 14 Flips is the most portable and versatile of the new Prestige lineup. Vision RS AI 2nd Gen (Image credit: Future)

MSI also updated the Vision RS AI desktop this year. Sporting a curved seamless glass panel and all-white case, the Vision RS AI 2nd Gen is a powerful, liquid cooled beast of a machine that can run your AI models or games without missing a beat.

And it just looks pretty. Instead of the usual RGB heavy gaming design, the Vision RS AI 2nd Gen is clean and understated. Plus it can be kitted out with
an Intel Core Ultra 9 and Nvidia RTX 5090. MPG 27QRF X36 (Image credit: Future)

Fast OLED displays are all over CES this year, but the MPG 27QRF is one of
the better iterations with a 360Hz, 0.5ms panel featuring Nvidias G-Sync Pulsar motion clarity and variable refresh rate.

It also has a built-in webcam and ultra clean design with a sturdy base.
