MSI launches new ultrabooks and workstations for creatives

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

MSI is highly regarded for its gaming laptops which bring insane processing and graphics power to aggressively styled gaming laptops. The company is now taking all the things they've learned from making gaming notebooks and applying it to their new ultrabook and creative workstation products.

The slim and elegant MSI PS42 and the beefier yet vastly more performant MSI P65 both offer the latest 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processors (in quad-core and six-core variants), large 32GB of RAM and fast SSDs. The new notebooks are designed for portability and performance.

They have high-resolution matte finish displays as well as models with Intel integrated graphics or NVIDIA graphics cards. Starting at around $1300, the latest MSI models will be available from Staples as well as other online retailers.

MSI is targeting the market of users who rely on notebooks to get creative tasks done. The MSI P65, specifically, is geared towards graphic design, video production animations and rendering.
