CES 2024: MSI's laptops get smarter, bigger, and more powerful

MSI is very aptly focusing on AI for its newest laptop lineup, unveiling a host of AI ready laptops at the Consumer Electronic Show 2024 (CES), currently underway in Las Vegas. The offering includes laptops with Intel's hotly anticipated NPU (Neural-processing unit) stacked Intel Core Ultra Processor, which has been especially optimized for sustained AI workloads. MSI laptops featuring the Intel Ultra chips will be denoted by the suffix'AI' after their name this year. As you would expect, the chips will feature in some of the company's full-power gaming laptops, like the Pulse 16 AI and 17 AI, but won't just be limited to these rigs. New MSI Cyborg 15 AI and Thin 15 AI laptops will also get Intel Ultra processors, giving mainstream gamers access to the hardware too. MSI's productivity and creator lineups also get an AI upgrade, with the company announcing the new Prestige AI Series of lightweight productivity laptops and a new AI version of the MSI Creator 16 Studio laptop – both offerings born of the need for creators and workers to better handle the increasing AI demands in an everchanging workplace, says MSI.
