TL;DR
  • MSI unveiled a full slate of new and refreshed laptops CES 2021.

MSI is no stranger to PC gaming, and its MSIology presentation at CES 2021 came with a flood of new machines. The new launches cover a full range of gaming needs, and they promise cutting-edge improvements with new graphics hardware.

Not all of MSI’s launches are brand new, but they will be among the first with NVIDIA’s powerful Ampere architecture. All of the new laptops will ship with GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs onboard, which promise great improvements in both Ray Tracing and AI. Another key to MSI’s new laptops is Resizable Bar technology, which will allow the CPU to tap entirely into the GPU’s memory. With the right hardware, this should result in a solid performance boost.

As for the display, MSI has chosen a 300Hz IPS-level unit with True Color 3.0.

While the GS66 Stealth may hover amongst the slimmest and most powerful gaming laptops, the Stealth 15M is MSI’s new kid in town. It weighs less than four pounds, and it comes in at just 0.63 inches thick. Underneath that slim form factor, MSI also chose an 11th-generation Intel H-Series processor and NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics. It is available for preorder starting at $1,399.

Staying thin, the GF65 and GF75 benefit from some of the same improvements that hit the GS66 Stealth. You’ll find new Intel Core i7 processors and familiar GeForce RTX 30 graphics, as well as a smooth 144Hz IPS-level display. The GF Thin series is among the most affordable announced at CES 2021, starting at $999.

Last, but not least, MSI showed some love to the creators at CES as well. The Creator 15 is meant as an all-around performer, highlighted by a 4K True Pixel display that’s verified by Calman. As you might have guessed, the Creator 15 keeps up with the RTX 30 graphics, which is great news for video and animation rendering. Though you can grab most of MSI’s other offerings right now, we’ll have to wait a bit longer for some more information on the Creator 15.
