Crosshairs on target. The MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI aims to please the upper mid-range gaming crowd with its Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070 Laptop combination, and it is able to do so for the most part. The Crosshair 16 HX AI can handle 1440p gaming and even content creation fairly well, but there some obvious compromises to keep the price in check.

MSI's answer to the Razer Blade 18. The Stealth 18 takes almost everything we love about the Titan 18 including a Core Ultra 9 processor, GeForce RTX 5090 graphics, and a 4K UHD mini-LED display all in a significantly smaller form factor. Noise levels and temperatures, however, could certainly use some improvement.

Bigger doesn't mean more expensive. MSI has more 18-inch gaming laptops to choose from than most competitors, but not everyone is willing to shell out for GeForce RTX 5090 graphics or a 4K display. The Crosshair 18 HX features more balanced specifications for a target range price of well under $2000.

Modern and bold. With the Vector 16 HX AI, MSI delivers a compelling gaming notebook powered by cutting-edge Intel (Arrow Lake) and Nvidia (Blackwell) hardware. However, a closer look reveals a handful of minor imperfections beneath the surface.

Midrange with setbacks. Compared to other gaming series from MSI (for example, Vector & Titan), the Katana models are somewhat cheaper and slimmed-down We pitted a current version with Core i7-14650HX and GeForce RTX 5070 against the competition. Can the 17-incher hold its own?

Titan up your wallet. The Titan 18 HX AI leaves no stone unturned in its quest for mobile gaming dominance with its elite-tier Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, and 4K 120 Hz mini-LED display. While the Titan 18 HX AI serves as a halo product that showcases the best of Intel and Nvidia, there are a few striking compromises that question its prohibitive $6,600 asking price.

Blackwell finally enters mainstream. The RTX 5060 Ti marks the arrival of the GB206 GPU, which aims to distill the goodness of the Blackwell architecture at even cheaper price points. We put the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G Ventus 2X Plus that is slated for availability at $429 MSRP through its paces and see if Nvidia has finally managed to offer a compelling offering for viable 1080p and 1440p gaming.

Too fast to handle. The latest Summit E13 A1MTG shows what happens when you put a Core Ultra-H CPU in a laptop originally designed for a Core-U series processor. It may sound very fast on paper, but the subsequent throttling and temperature levels need attention.

Close but no cigar. MSI ventures into the competitive mid-range gaming laptop sector with the Katana A15 AI. This 15-inch laptop features a powerful Ryzen processor along with a GeForce RTX 4060 or RTX 4070 - and is massively disappointing in one crucial area.
