MSI Celebrates 40 Years with Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition and Artistic Prestige 14 Flip Plus New Katana and Venture Gaming Laptop Series Upgrades
In commemoration of its 40th anniversary, MSI presented a selection of high performance premium laptops during the Computex event. Dominating the exhibit is the limited edition desktop replacement computer known as the Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic, designed in reference to the Draco constellation. This computer represents the pinnacle of MSI's design capabilities, featuring detailed metal etching and advanced anodizing to produce textured designs that produce dynamic light reflections all around its chassis.
Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic Technical Specifications
Built for maximum demanding performance, the Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic incorporates an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24GB of GDDR7 memory.

Prestige 14 Flip AI plus Vincent van Gogh Edition Artisan Collection
For creatives, MSI also put out a brand new Prestige 14 Flip AI plus Vincent van Gogh Edition as part of their Artisan Collection.
