If you’re in the market for a new MSI laptop, you’ve never been short on options. That’s even more so the case now, with the company announcing its new Venture series of machines at this year’s IFA conference in Berlin.

Available in sizes that start at 14-inches and go all the way up to 17-inches, the MSI Venture’s main selling point is that it’s a streamlined vehicle for Intel’s second-generation Core Ultra processors. The exterior promises to be just as high-end as what you’ll find under the hood, with  faster 100W USB-C PD charging and MSI’s own AI engine. 

According to MSI’s executive vice president and general manager for notebooks Eric Kuo, the company’s latest lineup of AI PCs is one of the most “comprehensive” such displays being shown off at this year’s IFA conference.

"We welcome global guests to visit the MSI booth to experience next-gen AI computing and exciting gaming products,” he said.

Check out the table for a snapshot of how the new MSI Venture 14, Venture 15.6, Venture 16 and Venture 17 compare.
