With an 8th Generation Intel i7 processor and up to a Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti graphics adapter, the svelte gaming laptop also manages over seven hours of battery life. Its slim chassis also houses a nearly bezel-less 15.6-inch screen and only weighs 4.4lbs.

Remember when PCs all used to be large, beige boxes? That is no longer the case thanks to all-in-one units like the PRO 24X which contains all the power in the monitor enclosure. It features up to an Intel i5-7200U processor, Intel Optane tech, NVMe SSD compatibility, and easy-to-upgrade storage.

MSI calls these monitors “blistering fast” and with a 240hz refresh rate, 0.5ms response time and Nvidia G-Sync technology we’re inclined to agree. This monitor uses an overclocked TN LED panel to cater to fast-paced, competitive gaming.

And what would Computex be without RGB? Mystic Light technology is all over the back of the monitors so you can glow in style.

The first B450 motherboard for Ryzen that we’ve seen, the Tomahawk was inspired by military design and uses a stronger and heavier design than prior motherboards. It also has user-customizable stickers for the heatsink areas, it’s nice to have the option to not have anything on these components.
