MSI’s booth was one of the busiest stops on the Computex 2026 showfloor, with the company celebrating its 40th anniversary by showcasing a huge range of new laptops, handhelds, and concept designs. From flagship gaming machines to creator focused devices, there was no shortage of hardware drawing crowds throughout the week.
Hard to miss upfront was their 40th anniversary display showcasing the Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic, featuring the Draco constellation. As expected being MSI’s flagship notebook, it packs top-tier hardware including an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, making it one powerful beast that also looks incredibly unique with its design.
On the handheld front, MSI is back with the new Claw 8 EX AI+, powered by Intel’s latest Arc G3 Extreme graphics. One of the first things that caught my attention was the new metallic purple colourway. It’s a bold choice, but one that really pays off, standing out from competition. It looks fantastic in person and feels just as premium in hand.
Apart from the new look, MSI has also refined the overall design with improved bumpers, more comfortable grips, and an upgraded haptic motor that delivers more precise and immersive feedback. The Claw 8 EX AI+ was easily one of the standout products at the booth, and it’s great to see MSI continuing to evolve its presence in the handheld gaming space.
For creators and professionals, the Prestige 14 Flip AI+ Vincent van Gogh Edition was easily one of the most visually striking devices at the booth. Part of MSI’s Artisan Collection, this range was impossible to miss on the showfloor, drawing attention with its unique Van Gogh-inspired design. If you’re a fan of Van Gogh’s work, this is a laptop you’ll want to stop and take a closer look at.
Part of MSI’s Artisan Collection, the premium 2-in-1 combines artistic inspiration with modern AI-powered productivity features, creating a unique blend of style and functionality.
Mainstream gamers weren’t left out either, with MSI introducing a refreshed Katana Series. The updated lineup features a sleeker design alongside the latest Intel Core Ultra processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics, which is enough firepower for the current and next-generation of mobility gaming.
Rounding out the new laptop lineup were the all-new Venture Series laptops and the regional-exclusive Crosshair 16 HX MLG Edition. While the Venture Series targets professionals seeking portable productivity, the Crosshair 16 HX MLG Edition embraces a bold gaming aesthetic inspired by MSI’s Dragon Princess mascot, proving MSI has a laptop for just about every type of user heading into 2026.
