gadgetnewsonline’ Take
With Intel’s latest 12th Gen processors, MSI is certainly going to bring some serious performance to the HX series of laptops. It’s also great to see innovations such as Samsung’s new 240Hz OLED panel seeing the consumer space in the Raider laptop, even though I’m sure you’ll pay a pretty penny for it.
