MSI is making limited edition versions of the Prestige 14 Flip AI Plus with two different van Gogh paintings on the lid: Starry Night and Starry Night Over the Rhône. I think I prefer last year’s Great Wave edition, but these are also lovely.
I called the Prestige one of the sleekest MSI laptops I’ve seen, but it didn’t look like this.
MSI has made ridiculous dragon-themed laptops before, but this one takes the cake. Announced at Computex, the Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic takes the standard 18-inch Titan gaming laptop but adds the new flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU, a 240Hz 4K screen, and a massive dragon design that’s etched and anodized right into the lid.
Never change, MSI.
MSI is announcing new versions of its Venture business laptops and Katana gaming laptops for Computex. Both have new designs, but MSI shared few details — not even availability or pricing. The key facts we know so far is that the Venture will get Intel Panther Lake chips and the Katana will have older Intel Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs and up to an RTX 5070 GPU.
I still love OLEDs, but the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18’s ELMB Mini LED display is amazing.
Acer is leading off its early Computex announcements with a new 2-in-1 laptop, the Swift Spin 14 AI. It’ll pack Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite chips when it arrives in the US in August (July for other regions), and it’ll also include a stylus stored its chassis. Neat.
Pricing is TBD.

A new Ghost in the Shell anime is coming soon, and Iqunix is making a mechanical keyboard inspired by the famed franchise. TechPowerUp indicates there will be two colorful boards based on the Iqunix EV63, each with some translucent cyberpunk-y flair.
It looks fitting for a special kind of hacker.

The new Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is almost perfect for me, except it’s $3,600.
Helldivers 2 is getting upscaling support on PC and consoles on May 27th. In a blog post, Arrowhead Studios announced an upcoming patch will add DLSS, FSR, XeSS, and PSSR support. It will also add optimizations like VRR on PS5, and Nvidia Reflex for reduced latency on PC.
Sweet liberty!
