MSI’s latest laptops are the perfect blend of beauty and brains
If you’re familiar with the laptops created by MSI, you know that MSI values innovation and power as much as they do aesthetically-driven design choices. Remember when computers used to be so large, beige, and generally unsightly, we had no other choice than to hide them under our desks? Luckily, that moment has come and gone. Now computers have evolved to become fashion statements, declarations of personal style, and even extensions of meticulous interior design.
When designing their latest series of laptops, MSI wanted to create machines capable as they are beautiful. Achieving that sweet spot was no easy feat. The GE76 Raider, Pulse GL66, Katana GF66 and Creator Z16 — all introduced at MSI’s Tech Meets Aesthetic virtual event — do exactly that by packing the latest technological innovations in machines that prioritize ergonomics and aesthetics.
