MSI is one of the show-stopper brands at Computex 2025 with its massive booth featuring various components, devices, concepts, and collaborations. At the core of their booth is innovations which are present in every product they presented, from lifestyle, consumer, gaming, and B&Ps. We took a look at their laptop lineup and selected a few models worth considering for purchase, especially when they reach the local market by Q3 2025.
MSI TITAN 18 HX AI A2XW
The MSI Titan 18 HX AI A2XW featuring GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 Laptop GPUs are still a no brainer buy. MSI continues to improve the performance of their flagship gaming laptop slash gaming replacement with the latest Intel Core Series 2 processors and Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPU. Of course, that’s paired with an improved MSI CoolerBoost cooling technology to maximize the 270W TPP and enable it to be the first laptop to come with a PCIe Gen 5 SSD out of the box.
The MSI Titan 18 HX AI is on pre-order at select MSI Authorized retailers for Php 421,995 and has already sold out. MSI will be opening another batch of pre-orders soon to accommodate the increasing demand.
MSI RAIDER 18 HX AI
The MSI Raider is the second in line at MSI’s gaming laptop series, and while it has been the more practical alternative to those who don’t want to spend an exorbitant amount of money for the MSI Titan 18 HX, it too, has reached the desktop replacement level. While it sports your typical flagship specs with the latest Intel Core Ultra series 2 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series Laptop GPU, MSI has finally equipped the Raider with an OLED display, closing the gap to the MSI Titan 18 HX AI in terms of specs.
MSI equipping its non-flagship laptop with an OLED panel is a sign that the technology is getting better and cheaper. The MSI Raider 18 HX AI with its OLED display serves as a more portable alternative to the MSI Titan 18 HX AI which offers a similar level of performance. This also means that the MSI Raider 18 HX AI opens up to creative professionals to take advantage of the color-accurate display and fast rendering performance.
MSI Prestige 13 AI Ukiyo-e Edition
The MSI Prestige 13 AI Ukiyo-e edition is unlike any other in terms of design and build quality. MSI did a splendid job choosing which laptop should be used for its Ukiyo-e Japanese Art. The MSI Prestige 13 AI is one of the thinnest yet most powerful 13-inch ultrabooks, sporting up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series Processor and is Intel Evo Edition certified.
The MSI Prestige 13 AI Ukiyo-e edition features Katsushika Hokusai’s iconic Ukiyo-e woodblock print, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa.” This has won MSI the COMPUTEX Best Choice Award with its meticulous design process and unique approach to collabrations and it’s something quite unique to what we’ve seen in the industry in regard to collabrations and special edition designs.
MSI has also teased other concepts and upcoming designs for its artisan collection.
MSI A16 AI+ Mercedes-AMG Motorsport
MSI has continued its partnership with Mercedes-AMG following the success of its two-generation collab. The new MSI A16 further embodies the speed of Mercedes-AMG supercars with a much faster AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 3070 Processor and an RTX 50 series GPU. The MSI A16 AI+ Mercedes-AMG Motorsport is also equipped with a fast and responsive 16:20 QHD+ 240Hz OLED display for immsersive visuals. Its powerful specs, paired with the stunning OLED display, make the MSI A16+ Mercedes-AMG Motorsport not just for gaming but also for productivity.
The MSI A16 AI+ Mercedes-AMG Motorsport is my personal favorite collaboration due to the fact that it’s on its 3rd-generation with a different laptop SKU per year. This showcases MSI’s commitment and innovations as well as how they are in it for the craft rather than making a quick profit with mainstream collaborations.
BONUS: MSI CLAW A8
The MSI Claw A8 is probably the most exciting hardware announcement at Computex 2025, as it showcases the all-new AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor in the flesh with various game demos available at the MSI Computex 2025 Booth. The more powerful and efficient CPU opens up triple-A gaming and extended gameplay sessions. Moreover, the MSI Claw A8 can easily be turned into a desktop with eGPU expandability, allowing users to get more performance when needed. This, in turn, also lengthens the MSI Claw A8’s shelf life, bringing more value to consumers.
