MSI released gaming laptops in the 2024 Vector, Crosshair, and Pulse series.

With the newest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs, MSI has introduced three new full-featured gaming laptop lines: Vector HX, Crosshair HX, and Pulse AI.

With a maximum total power output of 250W, the Vector 17 HX in particular features MSI Overboost technology, guaranteeing gamers uncompromising performance.

The Crosshair HX and Pulse AI laptops from MSI are now available. They include unique thermal designs, futuristic looks, and 24-zone RGB keyboards for better immersion in games. Although the exact cost and availability are unknown, market trends and models from prior generations of computers are used to estimate the release date of these laptops, which is 2024.

The more expensive Vector 17 HX and Crosshair 17 HX variants, which use the GeForce RTX 4080 GPU from NVIDIA and the Core i9 CPU from Intel, are anticipated to go on sale in March 2024 and likely cost around $2,500 (~PHP 125k).

April or May should see the release of the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 versions, which could result in a price reduction to about $2,000 (~PHP 100k).

Following a stabilization of component supply, the mainstream Pulse 17 AI and 16 AI versions are expected to ship in May or June 2024, with competitive prices ranging from $1,500 to $2,000 (~PHP 75k to 100k), contingent on specifications.
