M: YES showed at CES 2023 and lots of laptops with which it intends to renew its catalog, although in most cases we find ourselves upgrading existing equipment to the latest generation of hardware offered by the company Intel (Raptor Lake) and NVIDIA (RTX 4000/Ada Lovelace). In this post, we will try to summarize the most interesting.

As we have already said, the latest generation of notebooks presented by MSI at CES 2023 stands out with the use of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 generation graphics card, which stands out for its energy efficiency and the deepening of technologies, whether patented or not, that the Green giant has developed over the years, such as DLSS, artificial intelligence, ray tracing and multimedia support for native and native rendering. streaming. All this has made its GPU highly appreciated by both players as professionals from various fields.

On the other hand, and according to MSI, the use of Intel processors of the Raptor Lake generation made it possible to increase performance by up to 45%, mainly due to the increase in the number of cores and frequencies in turbo mode.

All laptops from MSI comes with the company’s latest exclusive thermal design, which helps to keep temperatures in check so that it can offer the best performance. All heatpipes have been reworked into shared pipes, dedicated pipes, and dedicated VRAM pipes to maintain full graphics performance.

After going through the general features for a while, we’ll briefly mention and explain each of MSI’s next-generation laptop lineup.

Titan GT, Raider GE and Vector GP series

Series Titan GT and Raider GE include up to Intel Core 9-13980HX as processor and up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 for notebooks as dedicated graphics. These components are accompanied by MSI’s exclusive OverBoost Ultra technology, which delivers a total power of 250 watts or supports up to 5.2 GHz frequencies through high-performance CPU cores, depending on the workload.

It is at the screen level The Titan GT is equipped with the world’s first 4K 144Hz Mini LED display, according to MSI, which has more than 1,000 nits of brightness and more than 1,000 local dimming zones. The Raider GE screen is QHD, supports 16:10 aspect ratio and 240 Hz.

The Raider GE series comes with a new chassis with an improved matrix light bar, while the Vector GP has a new design that is minimal and low-profile, but also contributes to professional engineering and STEM performance.

Two options The Titan GT77 supports DDR5 RAM up to 128GB and have one NVMe M.2 slot with support for PCIe 5 and two additional NVMe M.2 slots for PCIe 4. The 17.3-inch mini LED screen supports a native resolution of 3,840 × 2,160 pixels, a refresh rate of 144 MHz and has VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification Among the connections, we can highlight the presence of Thunderbolt 4, Intel 2.5Gbps Ethernet and the presence of Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E AX1690 with Bluetooth v5.3.
