MSI and Asus release new laptop models for gaming and budget use

Recent reviews evaluate new laptop offerings from MSI and Asus.

The MSI Stealth 16 AI+ is positioned as a gaming laptop that also serves as a high-performance tool for creative professionals. It features an OLED screen and powerful hardware options, including Intel Core Ultra 9 386H or AMD Ryzen AI processors, alongside Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics. While highly capable for tasks like 3D modeling and video editing, some configurations may require more RAM for intensive workloads.

The Asus Chromebook CM1505 is a budget-friendly option characterized by its large 15.6-inch Full HD screen. While it offers good value and a variety of ports, it utilizes more modest internal specifications such as 8 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD. As a Chromebook, much of its processing is handled via Google's servers, making it functional for web-based tasks despite its lower-cost plastic build.
