It’s an 18-inch behemoth with an illuminated touchpad, Intel’s Core Arrow Lake processor, and Nvidia’s new RTX 50-series GPU for a starting price of around $5,000.

MSI is launching a huge lineup of upgraded laptops with various specs that cater to an array of budgets. But of everything, one system stood out and if you take even a quick look at it, I think you can see why.

MSI's fleet of gaming laptops features top-of-the-line Intel and AMD processors, including one inscribed with Norse runes and a massive dragon's eye.
