MSI Stealth 16 AI+

In the high-performance gaming and AI laptop market, balancing performance and portability has always been a challenge. Typical high-spec laptops are heavy and thick, reducing mobility, while lightweight laptops sacrifice CPU/GPU performance.

Users want to run the latest games and AI tasks even on thin laptops, but cooling limitations restrict full performance.

The Stealth 16 AI+ features an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H (Panther Lake) CPU and RTX 50 GPU in an ultra-slim form factor of 4.39 pounds (≈1.99kg) and 0.78 inches thick. MSI OverBoost technology ensures stable power delivery even in a thin chassis, achieving 1900 TOPS of AI inference performance.

It also features a 240Hz QHD+ OLED display (DCI-P3 100%, HDR 600) to support high-resolution, high-refresh-rate gaming. As an AI+ laptop, it is also 'Copilot+' certified, optimized for Windows AI features (such as voice control), which is another differentiating factor.

The core design is to integrate desktop-level performance into a design comparable to existing ultrabooks.

Targeting individual users (B2C) such as high-end gamers, creators, and AI developers who seek both performance and portability.

While it can be used as a mobile workstation in enterprises, it primarily targets the consumer market.

It is scheduled to be released in line with the global laptop market and can be sold worldwide, including the United States, Europe, and Asia. As a common Intel and NVIDIA platform product, there are no regional restrictions, but chip supply and pricing are affected.

If the trend of slim, high-performance laptops continues, it can be expanded to other form factors (17-inch, 2-in-1, etc.).

As a CES Computer Hardware Honoree, it received good evaluations in both technology and design. The new Panther Lake (13th generation successor) and RTX 50 series combination garnered attention, but its differentiation is moderate as competitors (ASUS ROG, Razer Blade, etc.) offer similar specifications.

Experts are positive about it as a "thin, desktop-grade laptop," but there are still factors of exaggeration and understatement due to a lack of follow-up reviews and real-world usage tests.
