PRO MAX Series Brings Mac-Friendly Productivity to MSI’s Monitor Lineup
While gaming hardware dominated much of MSI’s COMPUTEX showcase, the company also had something for creators and professionals—particularly Mac users.
Leading the lineup is the PRO MAX 271UPXW, a 27-inch 4K display built around MSI’s latest 4th-generation QD-OLED panel. Designed to complement modern Mac workflows, it combines a clean white aesthetic with Mac-focused software features through MSI’s M-Mate platform. Features like M-Color and M-Sync help maintain colour consistency between displays and allow users to adjust monitor settings directly from macOS.
The display also features MSI’s DarkArmor technology, delivering deeper blacks and stronger contrast, alongside a sharp 166 PPI pixel density that closely matches the crisp visual experience MacBook users are accustomed to. For creators, Pantone Validation, Pantone SkinTone Validation, Delta E ≤ 2 colour accuracy, and support for both sRGB and DCI-P3 colour spaces ensure dependable colour reproduction across a wide range of workflows.
Connectivity is equally flexible, with dual USB-C ports offering up to 98W power delivery, integrated 3-device KVM functionality, Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture support, and MSI’s AI Care Sensor designed to reduce eye strain during extended work sessions.
MSI also showcased the PRO MAX 271QPHW E14, which debuts the company’s EyesErgo+ ecosystem. Featuring a Circular Polarized panel designed to mimic natural light, hardware-level blue light reduction, an ergonomic stand, 144Hz refresh rate, USB-C connectivity, and built-in KVM support, it’s aimed at professionals who spend long hours in front of a screen without wanting to compromise on comfort or productivity.
MSI also showcased a pair of desktop solutions aimed at professionals, AI developers, and business users.
The standout is the new PRO MAX EDGE AI+, which packs serious AI horsepower into an ultra-compact 4-litre chassis. Powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, the system delivers up to 126 TOPS of AI performance and features up to 128GB of Unified Memory. According to MSI, this helps eliminate traditional VRAM limitations when working with large AI models, including 120-billion-parameter workloads, while keeping sensitive data local for improved privacy and security.
Alongside it sits the PRO MAX 80 Series, a more traditional desktop lineup that combines understated design with support for NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics. Built with business environments in mind, the systems feature extensive connectivity, including nine USB Type-A ports and a USB Type-C port, alongside a tool-less chassis design that simplifies upgrades and maintenance. Kensington lock support is also included for added physical security.
Prestige 14 Flip AI+ Vincent van Gogh Edition Brings Art to Computing
MSI’s Artisan Collection has always focused on combining technology with craftsmanship, and the latest addition continues that tradition.
The Prestige 14 Flip AI+ Vincent van Gogh Edition takes inspiration from two of the artist’s most iconic works: The Starry Night and Starry Night Over the Rhône.
Rather than simply printing artwork onto a laptop, MSI says the design merges both interpretations of the night sky into a unified industrial design language, using the interplay of light and shadow to capture the essence of Van Gogh’s masterpieces.
Powering the system are Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, giving creators a blend of portability, battery life, and AI-enhanced productivity.
Cubi NUC WCG and PRO MAX All-in-One PCs
For business users and enterprise environments, MSI introduced the Cubi NUC WCG.
Despite occupying just 0.55 litres of space and measuring only 40.1mm thick, the system supports up to an Intel Core 7 Series 3 processor, triple-display output, and dual LAN connectivity.
MSI says the compact system is designed to support modern hybrid and AI-enhanced workflows without sacrificing desk space.
The company also showcased its Red Dot Design Award-winning PRO MAX 24 and PRO MAX 27 All-in-One PCs.
Powered by AMD Ryzen 200 Series processors, the systems feature 120Hz displays, optional 10-point touchscreen support, integrated speakers, a 5MP pop-up privacy webcam, and a four-way ergonomic stand.
Enterprise Storage Meets AI Infrastructure
Storage was another key focus area for MSI.
The new VORTIQ Enterprise SSD lineup is designed specifically for AI workloads and data centre deployments.
Available in U.2, E3.S, E1.S, and 2.5-inch SATA form factors, the drives offer capacities of up to 7.68TB and read speeds ranging between 14,000MB/s and 14,800MB/s, while maintaining 1 DWPD endurance ratings for sustained enterprise usage.
For consumers, MSI showcased the SPATIUM M571 PCIe 5.0 SSD, powered by the PHISON E28 controller built on TSMC’s 6nm process technology and featuring data loss protection.
Complementing it was the DATAMAG LITE portable SSD, offering 40Gbps transfer speeds for creators and professionals who need high-speed external storage.
RadiX WiFi 7 Routers Aim to Power the Connected Home
Networking also played a significant role in MSI’s showcase.
The new RadiX WiFi 7 gaming router series is designed to deliver faster speeds, lower latency, and more stable connections for gamers.
Powered by quad-core processors and supporting wired speeds of up to 10Gbps, the routers intelligently optimise both wired and wireless gaming traffic.
Leading the lineup is the RadiX BE19000 WiFi 7 Gaming Router NAS Lite Edition.
Beyond networking duties, it includes an integrated PCIe SSD slot, effectively turning the router into a lightweight network storage hub for backups and file sharing.
MSI has also integrated FortiSecu security features and full MSI Mesh support to create a more comprehensive smart-home networking solution.
The Bottom Line
MSI may be best known for its gaming hardware, but COMPUTEX 2026 showed just how much broader its ambitions have become.
From Mac-friendly QD-OLED monitors and art-inspired creator laptops to compact business PCs, enterprise-grade storage, and WiFi 7 networking solutions, MSI’s latest lineup demonstrates a company that’s building an ecosystem that stretches far beyond gaming. Whether you’re a content creator, professional user, IT manager, or simply someone looking for faster connectivity at home, there was something at the MSI booth with your name on it.
While AI understandably stole much of the spotlight this year, MSI’s non-gaming announcements prove that innovation isn’t limited to flashy demos and futuristic concepts. Sometimes it’s about making displays better for creatives, shrinking powerful PCs into impossibly small chassis, or finding new ways to move and store data faster than ever before.
If this is only part of what MSI brought to COMPUTEX 2026, we can’t wait to see what the next 40 years look like.
