Continuing on with our coverage of MSI’s newest computers, they have updated their workstation line with the Vortex W25 and updated WT75, WS63 and WE series of mobile workstations. As a world first, the Vortex W24 is the first 2.5L desktop powered by NVIDIA’s Quadro P5200 GPU.

Vortex W25

To compliment the impressive graphics card, the Vortex W25 also comes equipped with the latest Intel 8th generation processor. This processor features six cores total plus hyperthreading is is up to 30% more powerful than the last-gen. With these CPU and GPU combined, the W25 is ideal for 3D rendering and VR.

In addition this workstation is cooled by MSI’s Cooler Boost Titan solution to handle intense workloads and gaming. Worth noting is that the W25’s Quadro P5200 GPU has better thermal efficiency than the average Quadro DT. Also, MSI is expanding its ISV Certifications in 2018.

Thanks to the small design, the W25 sports a VESA mount to be attached to monitors or a wall. Due to the tool-less design to remove the top cover, devices like the NVMe M.2 SSD by PCIe Gen3/SATA SSD Combo slots, 2.5″ hard drive and dual DDR4-2400 can be accessible. Continue reading this post ->

Continuing on with our coverage of MSI’s new gaming laptops, the next up is their GS65 Stealth Thin. This laptop features an impressive 15.6-inch 7ms display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 4.9mm bezels. You may think those bezels might be too think for a webcam, but that’s where you’re wrong. Even though the laptop is impressively thin, a webcam at the top of the screen has been added.

Complimenting the 144Hz display is either a GTX 1060 or 1070 with NVIDIA Max-Q technology, depending on your preference and budget. On the processor side, the GS65 sports the latest 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor. When you combine the latest Intel i7 CPU with a GTX 1060/1070, and MSI’s Cooler Boost Trinity cooling design, it’s safe to say your gaming experience will be pretty nice.

MSI’s design choice for this laptop was an interesting decision. As you can tell in the photos they chose a golden accent and trim, which isn’t a common color amongst laptops (except for Apple, of course). Besides that though, the GS65 Stealth Thin weighs in at 4.14lbs and has “8+ hours of battery life”, but that’s dependent on your usage.

The last feature really worth noting is the per-key RGB keyboard designed by SteelSeries. Overall this is a pretty impressive laptop, especially for the power it packs in its thin design. Depending on your preference, the GS65 Stealth Thin is available at Newegg and Amazon. Continue reading this post ->

Originally announced at CES, the GE63/73 Raider RGB Edition has finally been released from MSI. This gaming laptop was supposedly inspired by “sports cars and the PC Master Race’s love for RGB”, according to the email I received. There’s so much RGB illumination that the top cover, keyboard and USB ports all can be customized. In total the top cover of the laptop features 24 individual zones with more than 16.8 million colors to choose from.

In terms of technical specifications, the GE Raider RGB Edition can be configured with the 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor and GTX 1070. Better yet a 120Hz 3ms display can be added onto the laptop, but for an additional price. Also worth noting is that the laptop is cooled by the MSI Cooler Boost 5, a cooling design with dual fans and seven copper heats pipes. Pretty impressive!

As shown in the spec sheet above, whether you choose the GE63 or GE73 they both come with Killer Networking and Bluetooth 5.0. There’s also a decent amount of I/O ports for USB and display adapters, which is nice to see. Depending on preferred vendor, you can find these laptops on NewEgg or Amazon.

Following up on our article from last week, the GT series of MSI laptops is taking a step forward by featuring the Core i9 overclocked processors in a gaming laptop. Combined with NVIDIA graphics and a mechanical keyboard, the new GT series offers desktop-level gaming performance.

The GT75 Titan is the first gaming laptop to ever feature Intel Core i9 processors with fully unlocked hexa-core performance. These processors are combined with MSI’s Cooler Boost Titan cooling design, giving the Core i9 up to a 70% performance increase over the Core i7. Continue reading this post ->
