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.

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.

The beefiest of MSI’s current graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio has three of the award-winning TORX 2.0 fans, a neutral color scheme, and RGB. With military-class componentry, this is one card that will keep cool under fire.
