MSI revamps gaming laptops with face-melting Nvidia RTX 20-series GPUs

Add as a preferred source on Google

MSI is a brand often associated with gaming laptops and hardware, and at CES, it is proving that true once more. For the new year, MSI is introducing a GS75 Stealth laptop with the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 20-series GPUs, and a PS63 Modern Prestige laptop aimed at content creators.

Leading the MSI lineup will be the GS75 Stealth. Coming with a 17.3-inch 144Hz display, and just 0.75 inches in thickness, it sports a thin and light 4-sided thin bezel design and comes packed in an aluminum alloy body. Elsewhere it comes with the latest Intel Core i7 series CPUs and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics on board. For extreme cooling, there are also seven copper heat pipes and two dedicated fans on board. Other technical specifications and pricing were not available at the time of writing, but MSI will also be launching a revamped version of last years GS65 with the same processors and GPU.

The second laptop is the PS63 Modern. While not the most powerful of gaming laptops, it comes with options for the latest Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 graphics on board. It has a sleek 15.6-inch screen and is about 0.63 inches thick, with 3.53 pounds in weight. For extra security, the PS63 modern comes with a touchpad that has a fingerprint sensor built in. 16-hour battery life, and support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 wrap up the features on the device. Configurations, pricing, and availability were not mentioned at CES.

Last but not least is the GE75 Raider. This is one of the first laptops with Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 2080 GPU, also coming with the latest Intel Core i7 Processors. It is crafted for gamers and comes with a reflective diamond cut trim, and a red anodized finish. Other features include the MSI Cooler Boost 5 technology with two dedicated fans and seven copper heat pipes, plus a per-key customizable RGB gaming keyboard.

Alongside these laptops, MSI is also announcing several accessories and curved monitors at CES 2019. These include the Vigot GK60 aluminum gaming keyboard and a series of high-performance graphics cards, such as the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio. Expect to hear more on pricing and availability on these products as CES rolls on.

HP has a new $799 mini PC for fans of the Mac mini form factor
The OmniDesk Mini puts Wildcat Lake inside a tiny desktop that starts at $799
HP OmniDesk Mini Desktop

HP has a new mini PC on sale in the U.S., and it is difficult to look at the machine without thinking of Apple's Mac mini. The OmniDesk Mini has a similarly compact footprint and starts at $799.99, making it $100 cheaper than the recently announced M6 Mac mini.

The similarities mostly stop there. The base OmniDesk Mini is powered by Intel's Core 3 304, a five-core, five-thread Wildcat Lake processor. It comes with 8GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 256GB SSD. HP also offers Core 5 320 configurations with up to 16GB of memory. So, despite the Mac mini-like dimensions, this is better viewed as a compact Windows PC than a direct rival to Apple's latest desktop.

Exclusive: Microsoft explains why RTX Spark’s Prism emulation is about more than higher FPS
Because an erratic 80 FPS will always feel worse than a silky-smooth 60.
ARC Raiders with Anti-Cheat Support running on NVIDIA RTX Spark Laptop

NVIDIA’s RTX Spark may pack a powerful Blackwell GPU, but its ability to run the massive library of existing PC games on Arm depends on a quieter piece of technology: Microsoft’s Prism emulator. Prism allows x64 Windows games and applications to run on RTX Spark’s Arm-based CPU without requiring developers to immediately rewrite them for ARM64.

During an exclusive conversation at NVIDIA’s private IFA 2026 demo, Microsoft’s Peter Dawoud explained that the latest Prism work isn't just about pushing emulated workloads to higher FPS. Microsoft is also focused on performance consistency, particularly in GPU-heavy games where the CPU still has to coordinate frames, physics, and rendering. Because a higher average FPS doesn't always mean a smoother experience, that could prove to be one of Prism’s most important improvements yet.

The best screenshot app for Mac just became a screen recording powerhouse
CleanShot X already made screenshots easy. Now it wants to make screen recording and editing just as painless.
CleanShot-X-version-5-running-on-Mac

CleanShot X is the best screenshot app for Mac. It's one of my favorite Mac apps, and I've already covered all its features in a previous article. The app just received its 5.0 update, and it's such a massive release that I had to write about it.

CleanShot X already had a built-in screen recording feature, but it was pretty bare-bones. With this update, the app has grown into a proper screen recording studio. You can now record your Mac's screen, edit that recording, add zooms and backgrounds, and do a whole lot more without ever leaving the app.
