MSI has made a grand return to PAX Australia 2025, the biggest gaming and pop-culture event in the Southern Hemisphere. Taking place from 10 to 12 October at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, this year’s show is drawing huge crowds. MSI is shining at PAX Australia 2025 Booth #8020, showing off its latest gaming desktops, laptops, handhelds, and accessories in partnership with Intel Australia and Scorptec Computers.
At PAX Australia 2025 the centre of attention is the MEG Vision X AI (2nd Gen) desktop, powered by the new Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and GeForce RTX 5090 graphics. It features a 13-inch touchscreen for live system control and AI-based performance tuning, giving gamers smooth and silent power.
The handheld MSI Claw 8 AI+ is also turning heads. It uses Intel’s latest AI chips and offers a bright 8-inch 120 Hz display, an 80 Wh battery, and strong cooling. It comes in two eye-catching designs, Polar Tempest and Sandstorm, combining style with portable gaming performance.
For laptop lovers, the Raider 18 HX AI is a true powerhouse. It includes up to an Intel Core Ultra 9-285HX processor and RTX 5090 graphics with 24 GB GDDR7 memory. Its 18-inch Mini LED screen with UHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate delivers stunning visuals, making it ideal for both gamers and creators. Features like Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 5, DDR5 memory, and powerful cooling make it one of the best laptops to look out for this year.
MSI is also showing its Z890 Series Motherboards, made for Intel’s Arrow Lake CPUs. They include the latest tech such as PCIe Gen 5, Wi-Fi 7, and Thunderbolt 5. With AI BIOS tuning and solid build quality, they promise better performance and stability for all PC builders.
Another highlight is the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G VENTUS 3X PZ graphics card. It’s the first MSI GPU to feature hidden rear power connectors, giving a clean cable-free look. Built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, it offers up to 5.5x faster 4K gaming with DLSS 4 and advanced cooling for top performance.
MSI’s QD-OLED Gaming Monitors are also stealing the show with Quantum Dot colour accuracy and OLED contrast. With speeds up to 500 Hz and just 0.03 ms response time, these displays set new standards for smooth and colourful gameplay.
