MSI took the stage at Computex 2026 in Taipei to show off a fresh lineup of gaming and productivity devices. The highlights include a new gaming handheld powered by Intel’s latest chips, a flashy 40th anniversary laptop, and several other new products aimed at gamers and creators alike.
Claw 8 EX AI+: A New Handheld Built on Intel’s Newest Platform
The Claw 8 EX AI+ is MSI’s newest gaming handheld and the first of its kind to run on Intel Arc G3 Extreme processors, which Intel designed specifically for handheld gaming devices. The device features an 8-inch 120Hz VRR display for smooth visuals, and supports XeSS 3 with Multi-Frame Generation to push frame rates higher and keep gameplay feeling responsive.
On the controls side, MSI upgraded the handheld with Hall-effect triggers and sticks, a more responsive D-pad, and ergonomic grips to make longer play sessions more comfortable. There is also a new linear motor inside that delivers more refined haptic feedback and uses less power in the process. Software-wise, the Claw 8 EX AI+ supports Xbox Mode, which allows for quicker game launches and easy resuming. A redesigned Quick Settings menu lets players tweak performance options like Multi-Frame Generation on the fly. The device comes in a Void Purple color and is expected to be available in Malaysia in July.
Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic: MSI’s 40th Anniversary Showpiece
To mark its 40th anniversary, MSI is releasing the Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic, a limited-edition 18-inch gaming laptop that is clearly aimed at users who want the best of everything. The design takes inspiration from Draco, a constellation in the northern sky, and uses precision metal etching with an anodized finish that gives the chassis a dynamic look depending on how light hits it.
Under the hood, it runs on an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24GB of GDDR7 memory. The display is an 18-inch 4K Mini LED panel running at 240Hz, which is one of the more impressive screen setups you will find on a laptop right now. It also has a mechanical per-key RGB keyboard, a haptic touchpad, and vapor chamber cooling. MSI is bundling the laptop with a matching mouse pad and a commemorative coin. It will be available in Malaysia in July.
Prestige 14 Flip AI+ Vincent van Gogh Edition
Part of MSI’s Artisan Collection, the Prestige 14 Flip AI+ Vincent van Gogh Edition draws from two of van Gogh’s famous works, The Starry Night and Starry Night Over the Rhône. The design plays with light and shadow to bring those paintings to life on the laptop’s exterior. It runs on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and is positioned as an everyday productivity laptop with all-day battery life. It is expected to arrive in Malaysia during Q3.
MSI also introduced three more additions to its catalog. The new Katana Series is aimed at mainstream gamers, carrying forward MSI’s gaming brand with a refreshed look and solid performance. The Venture Series, also powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3, is built for everyday use with a focus on stable cooling and balanced performance across productivity and light creative tasks.
The third addition is the Crosshair 16 HX MLG Edition, a 16-inch gaming laptop with a Stellar White chassis that shows off subtle red tones under shifting light. It is inspired by MSI MLG, the brand’s original mascot character, and is powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPU. This model will launch first in the Chinese market, with broader availability still to be confirmed.
All of these products are part of MSI’s ongoing push to grow its AI PC lineup, combining the latest processor technologies with designs built for gaming, creation, and everyday work.
