MSI Cyborg 15 – Awesome performance meets cyberpunk chic

Launched earlier this year at MSI’s CES 2023 showcase, the new MSI Cyborg 15 gaming laptop pays homage to the cyberpunk genre in every aspect of its design, combining cutting edge tech and sleek cyberpunk aesthetics. Unlike other gaming laptops, the Cyborg 15 also features a mascot known as C15, a cyborg created by the renowned concept artist Paul Cheptea that embodies the sleek, mechanised power of the laptop. 

The MSI Cyborg 15 features a chassis made of aluminium streaked with futuristic geometric lines that intersect across its base to form a stylised MSI True Gaming logogram while hiding cleverly cut ventilation slits.

To allow users to get a closer look at its intricately designed components, the MSI Cyborg 15 uses translucent panels across its side and underside that form a breathtakingly unique design that is just 21.95mm thin while weighing 1.98kg. Complementing this bold design is a specially designed neon blue backlit keyboard with special accents across the W,S,A and D keys, space key and arrow keys to further accentuate its cyberpunk inspired origins.

The MSI Cyborg 15 for Malaysia features a large and vibrant 15.6-inch FHD display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate paired with a stereo 2W speakers enhanced with Nahimic audio for vividly rich soundscapes.

Multitasking and multi-display gaming isn’t a problem as the MSI Cyborg 15 can output to two external displays via a HDMI port and USB-C with DisplayPort output. Fast WiFi 6 Gig+ for fast downloads, stable connections and smooth game streaming experiences  while a 53.5W 3-cell battery keeps it juiced even in the most intense firefights.

MSI Katana 17 and Katana 15 – Speed and power honed to a winning edge

Forged and folded from iron, the original katanas that were carried into battle by samurai warriors in mediaeval Japan were trusted companions that a warrior would rely upon to carry him through the most intense fighting. Inspired by this rich tradition, the new 17.2-inch MSI Katana 17 and 15.6-inch Katana 15 gaming laptops are honed to a razor’s edge with potent specifications to dominate the digital battlefields of today.

To offer better longevity, the MSI Katana 17 also has an MUX switch to allow users to swap to using integrated graphics to maximise battery life or swap back to the NVIDIA GeForce graphics for optimum performance. In Malaysia, the MSI Katana 17 is available for RM7,699.

For those seeking a more compact yet equally powerful gaming laptop, the MSI Katana 15 beckons with a 15.6-inch FHD 144Hz IPS LCD display for lush visuals onscreen paired with stereo 2W speakers enhanced by Nahimic tech and with Hi-Res audio support.
