The company shared specifications for a total of nine laptops which includes eight gaming laptops and MSI Creator 15, a high-performance laptop aimed towards content creations. Let’s check out the specifications, price in India, and launch timeline for the latest lineup of MSI gaming laptops here.
MSI gaming laptop lineup specifications
As mentioned above, the highlight of the new product lineup is the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 3000 series mobile GPUs. The company claims that the latest Ampere-powered cards can offer “ultra-performance” to gamers. But, as noted in the past, the performance of these RTX 3000 series cards is based on the TDP of the GPU instead of the model. A lower model GPU with higher TDP can outperform a higher model GPU with lower TDP. The list of updated gaming laptops includes MSI GS66 Stealth, GE76 Raider, GE77 Raider, GP76 Leopard, and GP66 Leopard. It also includes Stealth 15M, GF75 Thin, GF65 Thin, and the creator-focused Creator 15 with a touch screen. All models will come with up to Windows 10 Pro and a per-key RGB keyboard from SteelSeries. The only exception for the keyboard is the Stealth 15M which features a backlit keyboard with White LEDs.
