MSI

MSI showcased their latest laptops. The gaming series included extreme machines like Titan GT, Raider GE, and Vector GP series, slim Stealth series, and the Cyborg, Pulse, Katana, and Sword series for entry-level gaming. The Cyborg 15 is a new series of entry-level gaming laptops.

The new laptops have been upgraded with Nvidia GeForce 40 series GPUs, up to 13th Gen Intel Core HX series processors and MUX switch that allows the discrete GPU to bypass the integrated GPU for better response times.

The brand also unveiled their latest Creator Z series professional laptops boasting CNC-milled chassis, 13th Gen HX series processors and Nvidia Studio certification. The Creator series supports the new MSI Pen 2. The pen offers 4096 pressure levels and haptic feedback, making it feels like writing on actual paper.

You can also use the MSI Pen 2 as a traditional pencil on paper without switching to actual pens. For the business and general category, the latest Prestige Evo series and the Modern series offer extreme portability along with powerful features.

Asus

Asus probably had the most exhaustive list of exhibits at the show, with devices spread across, gaming, creativity, and professional segments. Apart from Nvidia RTX 40-series graphic cards and Intel 13th Gen and AMD Ryzen Zen 4 processors, the brand has also extended their Nebula displays and intelligent cooling to more devices.
