  • MSI just announced the Titan GT77, Raider GE77 HX, Raider GE67HX, Vector GP76 HX, Vector GP66 HX, and CreatorPro X17 laptops.
  • The new devices run on up to 12th Gen Intel Core i9 processors and powerful NVIDIA graphics.
  • The Raider GE67 HX features a display with a refresh rate of 240Hz.

MSI just unveiled several new laptops for creators and gaming: the Titan GT77, Raider GE77 HX, Raider GE67HX, Vector GP76 HX, Vector GP66 HX, and CreatorPro X17. All of the laptops run on 12th Gen Intel Core CPUs and powerful NVIDIA graphics. The Titan, Raider, and Vector devices will come with up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics, while the CreatorPro X17 will feature up to NVIDIA RTX A5500 graphics.

The Raider GE67 HX will feature the "world’s first QHD 240Hz OLED display," according to MSI. The Raider GE77 HX has an IPS QHD 240Hz screen.

Based on their specs, the Raider, Vector, and Titan devices should compete with the best gaming laptops.

MSI markets the Titan GT77 as the "ultimate desktop replacement." It features Cherry MX Ultra Low switches. It also has Cooler Boost Titan technology to keep the laptop's temperature down. The 16-core Intel HX series processor inside supports up to 150W Maximum Turbo Power, which MSI claims will deliver double the performance of a last-gen CPU.

Taking things a step further, the Titan GT77 can reach 250W of combined power delivery to its CPU and GPU. At least on paper, the laptop should easily handle the best PC games.
