MSI launches RTX Spark-powered Prestige N16 Flip AI+ at Computex 2026, refreshes Katana gaming series

MSI showed off its first laptop powered by NVIDIA's new RTX Spark platform at Computex 2026, the Prestige N16 Flip AI+, alongside a refreshed Katana gaming series that pulls current-gen RTX 50 silicon into the mainstream price band. The announcements anchor the company's 40th anniversary lineup, which spans creator laptops, gaming notebooks, and a refreshed handheld.

The Prestige N16 Flip AI+ is the centrepiece. Built with NVIDIA, it pairs the RTX Spark platform with a 16-inch UHD+ Tandem OLED panel that pushes past 1,000 nits, covers 100% of DCI-P3, and ships with Calman Verification and Delta E under 1. MSI is positioning it at creators, AI developers, and gamers who want a thin-and-light convertible without trading away the panel or the silicon underneath.

Prestige N16 Flip AI+ pulls double duty as 2-in-1 with stylus and 99.9Wh battery

The flip hinge lets the laptop switch between laptop, tablet, tent, and presentation modes. An MSI Nano Pen handles sketching and notes. A 99.9Wh battery covers the all-day part. James Sung, NB Sales Director at MSI India, called the lineup the company's strongest yet and pitched the Prestige N16 Flip AI+ as a marker for where MSI's AI-driven computing push is heading.

Katana series refresh brings RTX 5070 and Core i9 to mainstream gaming buyers

The Katana refresh is the volume play in this lineup. The new Katana 15 HX C14W runs an Intel Core i9, scales up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, supports DDR5 memory up to 96GB, and uses a 15.6-inch FHD display. MSI is pitching it at mainstream gamers who want current-gen RTX 50 series performance without stretching to a Titan-tier price. It sits in the same slot the Katana has always held in MSI's stack, between value-tier options and the heavier Raider and Titan ranges.

40th anniversary Titan and first Arc G3 Extreme handheld round out the showcase

The 40th anniversary celebration runs through the rest of the lineup too. The Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic, a limited-edition build inspired by the Draco constellation, ships with precision metal etching and an anodized finish that locks colour into the metal. It packs a Core Ultra 9, RTX 5090, 128GB of DDR5, and an 18-inch UHD+ display. Buyers also get a collector's bundle with a gaming mouse, mouse pad, and a commemorative coin.

MSI also showed the Claw 8 EX AI+, the first handheld powered by Intel's Arc G3 Extreme, a chip Intel built specifically for handhelds. It carries an 8-inch FHD+ screen, 32GB of LPDDR5x, and an Arc B390 GPU, and is aimed at AAA gaming without killing battery life on the move.

Rounding out the lineup are the Prestige 14 Flip AI+ Vincent van Gogh Edition, the Venture 15 productivity laptop, and the Crosshair 16 HX MLG Edition in Stellar White. Indian pricing and availability will follow through MSI India.
