MSI has expanded its gaming hardware offerings through new laptop and component releases. The company initially launched the Katana 15 HX gaming laptop, which features an Intel Core i9-14900HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. To address high DRAM costs, the laptop was released with both DDR5 and DDR4-3200 memory configurations.

Following this, MSI showcased a broader lineup at the Tokyo Game Show 2026 to mark its 40th anniversary. This expansion included the GeForce RTX 5090 32G LIGHTNING Z graphics card, which features a redesigned liquid cooling system and an integrated display. Additionally, the company introduced the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ handheld gaming PC, utilizing Intel processors such as the Intel Arc G3 Extreme to compete in the handheld market.
