MSI, a global leader in gaming, content creation, and business & productivity laptops, proudly introduced the redesigned Raider gaming laptop series, featuring an all-new look and design. Delivering up to 300W of combined power to the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 200HX processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPU, these models set a new benchmark as some of the most powerful gaming laptops in the industry.
In the Philippines market, MSI will offer the Raider 16 HX, Crosshair 16 HX and Cyborg 15 Max models, providing users with powerful performance and a well-balanced gaming experience across different segments.
“Performance has always been the hallmark of MSI gaming laptops, and that remains true with the all-new Raider and Crosshair” said Derek Chen, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for MSI’s Notebook Business Unit. “Beyond delivering stronger performance, we have also optimized fan noise across all models, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable experience even under load.”
The All-New Raider 16 Series: The most powerful 16-inch laptop on the planet.
MSI’s all-new Raider 16 is the most powerful gaming laptops on the planet, delivering up to 300W of combined power to the latest Intel® CoreTM Ultra 200HX processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPU. Such extreme performance is made possible by the newly designed Cooler Boost Trinity with Intra Flow thermal system. Featuring up to three fans, six heat pipes, and an industry-exclusive five-exhaust-vent design, it delivers exceptional cooling performance—while still preserving rear I/O at the back of the chassis for better cable management and usability.
To ensure the Raider keeps fan noise below 50 dBA even during gaming, MSI’s R&D team redesigned the motherboard to a more compact layout, creating space for larger fans inside the chassis. With bigger fans, the system can maintain strong airflow at lower RPMs—effectively reducing overall fan noise. At the same time, the reduced motherboard size also allows for a slimmer chassis depth, making the Raider easier to fit into standard 16-inch laptop backpacks and more convenient to carry on the go.
In addition, MSI further optimized the laptop’s fan curve, allowing fan speeds to scale smoothly and consistently with system load. This prevents unnecessary RPM spikes during light workloads, eliminating sudden and distracting noise for a quieter, more refined experience.
To make upgrades easier than ever, the Raider features a quick-access upgrade panel. Users only need to loosen two screws to access and upgrade the memory and SSD—eliminating the hassle of removing the entire bottom cover.
A great display is essential for fully experiencing powerful performance. The Raider features a premium QHD+ 240Hz display, delivering a truly exceptional visual experience.
The All-New Crosshair 16 Series: Thinner, yet more powerful.
The all-new Crosshair series amps up everything gamers love—now powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 50 series GPUs. With MSI’s exclusive Cooler Boost thermal solution and quad-vent heat exhaust, it delivers up to 200W of total system power—a 30W boost over the previous generation—making it the most powerful option in its class.
Gamers can fully tap into that performance with the QHD+ 240Hz display, offering ultra-sharp visuals and buttery-smooth gameplay, perfect for competitive titles and immersive content alike.
Connectivity gets an upgrade, too. The new I/O layout features three USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and repositioned HDMI and RJ-45 LAN ports at the back—making cable routing cleaner and desk setups easier.
And of course, the iconic RGB Crosshair aesthetic returns—this time with a more dynamic RGB backlit keyboard, letting players showcase their unique style while racking up more FPS (Fun Per Second).
All-New Cyborg 15 Series: Major Upgrades in Performance & Display
The newly redesigned Cyborg 15 series arrives with major upgrades in both performance and display quality. The all-new Cyborg 15 Max now features up to 100W TGP, delivering a total system power of up to 140W to the Intel® Core™ 200H processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPU, setting a new benchmark in the entry-level gaming segment.
This performance leap is powered by the upgraded Cooler Boost thermal system, equipped with dual fans and three heat pipes. Combined with a high-performance and safe phase-change thermal material, the new Cyborg 15 Max achieves an impressive 122% increase in TGP compared to the previous generation, delivering significantly smoother and more immersive gameplay.
Beyond delivering smoother gameplay, the all-new Cyborg 15 series is equipped across the lineup with a FHD 144Hz display featuring 100% sRGB color gamut, providing richer and more accurate colors—not only for gaming, but also for content creation.
The all-new Cyborg 15 also brings meaningful upgrades to connectivity. The Cyborg 15 Max is equipped with three USB-A ports and one USB-C port that supports 100W PD charging and DisplayPort output, significantly enhancing convenience and versatility.
In addition, the Cyborg is one of the few entry-level gaming laptops to feature a rear I/O layout. By relocating HDMI and RJ-45 to the back of the chassis, cable management becomes much easier—helping users maintain a cleaner and more organized setup.
All of these features are packed into a slim chassis weighing just 2kg and measuring only 21mm thick, significantly enhancing the Cyborg’s portability.
