The new MSI gaming laptops come with up to 12th gen Intel Core-i9 H-series processors, Nvidia’s RTX 3080Ti graphics, and Meta-ready logos.
The list includes laptops from the Stealth GS series, Raider GE series, Katana GF series, Vector GP series, Pulse GL series, and Crosshair 15.
The MSI Crosshair 15 has got a special Rainbow Six Extraction Edition too.
MSI has brought laptops with Intel chips that are fresh from the oven. Some of them are refreshed with up to Intel’s 12th-gen Core i9 H-series processors. The graphics processors in them go up to GeForce RTX 3080Ti. Among the list of goodies, you also get features like CPU Optimizer, Rapid Core Scaling, and Battery Boost 2.0. While the lattermost setting is meant for improved power efficiency, MSI claims the laptops would offer up to 40% gain in performance metrics too. And to spice things up, the company has slapped on the “Meta-ready” logo, which we presume means hardware-equipped for Metaverse. Let’s see other details about these newcomers now.
