MSI’s 2025 Lineup Brings 30+ New Laptops with RTX 50 GPUs, Next-Gen Cooling, and AI Features

MSI has unveiled its latest laptop lineup at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, featuring over 30 models across 5 different series powered by NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and multiple processor options. The new RTX 50 Series, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell, brings features like DLSS 4, NVIDIA Studio support, and NIM microservices for AI workflows.

The flagship Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Norse Myth leads the gaming lineup with its unique hand-drawn dragon motifs, Nordic runes, and a special 3D dragon with a dragon ring on the palm rest. MSI’s gaming series expands with the standard Titan offering up to 270W power, while the Raider and Vector series deliver 260W power. All these models now come with 18-inch options and RTX 5090 GPUs. The Stealth series stands out as the lightest 18-inch laptop, featuring AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors, Copilot+ certification, and a Mg-Al alloy chassis. For mid-range gaming, the Crosshair and Pulse series now pack RTX 5070 GPUs.

For business users, MSI introduces the Venture/VenturePro series, available in sizes from 14″ to 17″. These laptops combine discrete NVIDIA GPUs with superior cooling design and offer an extra 4-5 hours of battery life, targeting professionals and creators who need reliable performance for various tasks.

On the technical front, MSI introduces several innovations. A new SSD heat pipe cooling system reduces PCIe Gen 5 SSD temperatures by 10°C, while Super RAID 5 combines Gen5 and Gen4 SSDs for impressive 18,000MB/s read speeds. The company also debuts MSI AI Robot, an offline AI assistant with natural language control, alongside features like AI Noise Cancellation Pro and AI Engine. All high-end models support Thunderbolt 5 and DDR5-6400 memory.

The processor lineup is equally impressive, featuring Intel Core Ultra 200HX and 200H with a 24-core design and a built-in NPU AI engine offering 15% better performance than previous generations. On the AMD side, options include the Ryzen 9000 HX series with the Ryzen 9955HX3D, and the Ryzen AI 300 Series boasting a next-gen NPU with 50 TOPS of AI capabilities.

“We’re excited to announce a diverse range of MSI groundbreaking new laptop lineup for our end users, ensuring their needs are met whether they’re looking for exceptional performance or AI-driven features,” said Eric Kuo, the Executive Vice President & NB BU GM of MSI. “With our latest lineup, MSI continues to redefined the innovations, ensuring there’s always an MSI laptop ready to empower your journey.”

MSI’s new laptops are expected to be available globally soon, but an official date is still missing.
