CES 2023: MSI unveils new creator and gaming laptops with Intel 13th Gen CPUs and RTX 40 graphics

Today at CES 2023, MSI is launching a full new range of laptops armed with new-gen Intel processors and Nvidia's new RTX 40 series GPUs. The headliner here is the new Titan GT77, equipped with the world’s first 4K/144Hz Mini LED laptop display.

At the top-end of MSI's laptop lineup you'll find the new Titan GT77, equipped with a 4K/144Hz Mini LED display, in addition to powerful hardware under the hood, including the new Intel Core i9-13980HX processor and RTX 4090 laptop GPU. In the video above, you'll see Luke run a Cinebench test on the laptop, where this chip scores similarly to a desktop Ryzen 9, sacrificing very little in performance while moving to a portable form factor. The other ultra high-end laptop MSI has on display is the new Raider GE, equipped with a QHD/240Hz display, but packing a Core i7 HX-series processor instead, alongside an RTX 4080 laptop GPU. This laptop also comes equipped with a smart touch pad, allowing you to set up a backlit capacitive function keypad next to the trackpad surface.

MSI's slim Stealth series laptops are returning this year too, available in 14, 15, 16 and 17-inch sizes. The new Stealth 14 Studio and Stealth 16 Studio are standouts, with the former featuring MSI's vapour chamber thermal cooler, and the latter featuring a new trilateral Dynaudio 6-speaker sound system in an effort to really bring an upgrade to laptop audio. The Stealth 17/16/14 Studio laptops are NVIDIA Studio certified, meaning they pack the hardware needed for content creation tasks. The Stealth 15 gets its own standout feature too – a 240Hz OLED display with 0.2ms response time, making it a perfect match for gaming.

The Cyborg, Pulse, Katana and Sword gaming laptops have all also been updated with new configurations with Intel 13th Gen Core mobile processors and RTX 40 series graphics, delivering options for every budget. There will also continue to be models sold with Intel 12th Gen Core processors too.

MSI is also revamping its Creator Z laptops, which are also Nvidia Studio laptops, packing the latest Intel 13th Gen Core processors, as well as RTX 40 series graphics. The Creator Z17 HX Studio/ Creator Z16 HX Studio are particularly high-end, packing Intel's HX-series processors, its most powerful CPUs for laptops. Under the hood, you'll also find a vapour chamber cooling design to keep temperatures in check. Alongside these laptops, the MSI Pen 2 is also debuting, using the latest MPP2.6 Technology, with 4096 pressure level and haptic feedback to simulate the feeling of writing on paper.

Finally, MSI's Prestige series laptops are getting the upgrade to 13th Gen Core i7 H-series processors, as well as RTX 40 series graphics. These are lightweight notebooks coming in at under 1kg, so it is unlikely you'll find an RTX 4080 in one of these, but something like an RTX 4060 laptop GPU could be a sensible pick.

All of MSI's new laptops will be rolling out onto the market over the next few months.
