This week, MSI introduced its all-new laptop lineup at CES 2026. It is headlined by a completely redesigned Prestige series for business and productivity, alongside refreshed Raider, Stealth, and Crosshair gaming laptops, all powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.
All-New MSI Prestige Series
The redesigned Prestige 14 and Prestige 16 feature slimmer profiles, rounded contours, and full aluminium builds for a more premium feel. Weighing just 1.32kg (Prestige 14) and 1.59kg (Prestige 16), they offer up to 30+ hours of battery life with an 81Wh battery and are powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with Intel Arc B390 graphics. Key highlights include:
- 2.8K 120Hz OLED displays with DisplayHDR True Black 1000
- Advanced vapour chamber cooling with low noise under 30 dBA
- New Action Touchpad (53% larger) with customizable gesture zones
- Enterprise-grade security with TPM 2.0, Windows Hello, and Smart Guard
The Prestige 14/16 Flip models add 2-in-1 flexibility and stylus support, bundled with the MSI Nano Pen, featuring ultra-fast charging and a Copilot press-to-talk shortcut. Then there's also the Prestige 13 AI+ now weighs just 899g, making it the world’s lightest 13-inch magnesium-aluminium laptop. Despite its featherweight design, it delivers strong performance with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, enterprise security, and OLED visuals, targeting professionals who prioritise extreme portability.
Modern S Series
MSI also debuted the Modern 14S and 16S, bringing metal construction and a more premium aesthetic to mainstream users. Powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, they feature dual memory slots, extensive I/O including RJ-45 LAN, and lightweight designs as thin as 11.1mm.
Raider Series
The new Raider 16 Max HX pushes gaming performance to new extremes, becoming the world’s first gaming laptop capable of 300W total system power. It pairs Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors with up to RTX 5090 GPUs, cooled by MSI’s new Cooler Boost Trinity with Intra Flow system. A 2.5K 240Hz OLED display completes the flagship experience.
Stealth 16 AI+
The Stealth 16 AI+, winner of a CES Innovation Award, combines a 16.6mm thin aluminium chassis with RTX 50 Series graphics and improved cooling, delivering up to 20W more GPU power than its predecessor without sacrificing portability.
Crosshair Series
The refreshed Crosshair 16 Max HX and Crosshair 16 HX deliver up to 200W total system power, paired with optional QHD+ 165Hz OLED displays and a redesigned I/O layout for cleaner desk setups. A new 24-zone RGB keyboard enhances the series’ signature gaming aesthetic.
MSI Claw 8 AI+ Glacier Blue Edition
MSI also showcased the Claw 8 AI+ Glacier Blue Edition, featuring a new icy blue finish while retaining flagship specs powered by Intel Core Ultra 200V processors with Arc Xe2 graphics.
