MSI just revealed a whole bunch of new laptops that will be released this year containing the latest silicon brains from Intel and NVIDIA for the best mobile gaming experience to date.
As the article will be quite long, let’s cut it quick and short by listing the important parts in point form shall we?
We’ll be starting from something that is shared between all of the new 2023 models – the revamped cooling system – where MSI created dedicated heat pipes for each individual component that is crucial to the system such as CPU, GPU, and VRAM. As a result, the cooling performance is vastly improved since everyone is able to utilize their own thermal capacity by themselves. Additionally, all of them will carry the MUX switch to quickly switch between iGPU and the discreet card at a flash.
First up we have the best of the bunch Titan GT and Raider GE machines getting the most powerful parts that can consume up to 250W of power to churn out all the visual elements that can befit the 4K/144Hz Mini LED display with 1000 nits max brightness and 1000 local dimming zones found on the Titan GT while the Raider GE focuses on the competitive side with a QHD+ 16:10 240Hz panel.
- CPU: Intel Core i9-13980HX
- GPU: Up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU
- Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard (Titan GT77 HX)
Meanwhile, the Stealth series continues to be stealthy (Duh.) but the range of selections in terms of sizes has been expanded to now include 14, 15, 16, and 17-inch to accommodate the needs of specific users. We also see the introduction of a new Studio sub-variant for the 14 and 16-inch rocking a magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis for a durable and light body and as expected of a “Studio” class product, both of them (And including the standard Stealth 17) is NVIDIA Studio Validated machines to kick start your content production right out of the box.
- OLED Display with 240Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut (Stealth 15)
- 13th Gen Intel Core i7 + Up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, QHD+ 240Hz IPS Display (Stealth 14, Stealth 16 Studio)
For the budget gaming laptops section, MSI has created yet another series which is the Cyborg lineup with the lone debuting member being the Cyborg 15. As the idea behind it is similar to Pulse/Katana/Sword series that carries a certain theme, the Cyborg laptops sport a translucent design with electrical and mechanical parts being the main aesthetics. As for the aforementioned thematic trio, they are part of the Intel + NVIDIA refresh as well (Specifications are TBA).
Moving on to the Creator Z series, the performance boundary has been pushed further up and brought to you by the Creator Z17/Z16 HX Studio ready to realize some of your wildest ideas into creation in style with its iconic CNC-crafted body and intricated vapor chamber cooling. Debuting with the devices is the new MSI Pen 2 utilizing the latest MPP 2.6 technology with 4096 pressure level and haptic feedback.
- CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core HX Series Mobile Processors (i9 or at least i7)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series Laptop GPU
Business-dedicated Prestige series for the elites welcomes the Prestige 14/16 Evo that promises a lightweight yet powerful experience for peak productivity. Meanwhile, a 13-inch Prestige 13 Evo is the lightest device out of all of them at just 990g and comes with a 75Wh battery that can last up to 15 hours.
