MSI brought a game PC with an Ai touch screen to Computex2024

AI is a big topic at Computex2024 in Taiwan this week, and MSI is showing off Meg Vision X AI, the latest swing to implement AI on gaming PCs.

This new gaming desktop is an evolution of the company's Vision gaming PC line, which first debuted at CES2024 earlier this year. These are MSI's new flagship gaming Pcs, partly named after the MSI MSI MEG MAESTRO700L PZ case that is built inside.

These eye-catching cases feature slabs of wrap-around glass that cover most of the case (about 270 degrees), giving clear visibility with internal RGB light goodies The same case wraps around the new Meg Vision X AI PC that MSI is showing off at Computex, but with easy access to the PC's on-board AI on the front.

We don't yet have details about the components and costs that are available with MSI Meg Vision X AI, but we're just announcing pricing and releasing the desktop in 2024.

What we know is that MSI claims that meg Vision X AI PCs have the ability to run local AI chatbots.This means that you can chat and ask your PC to perform generative AI tasks such as creating images and text or summarizing documents stored locally.  It's all integrated with what MSI calls an "AI engine" and covers some of the company's own AI apps running locally on a PC. MSI claims that the PC is designed for the CPU to handle the touchscreen output, so it is designed to release the GPU and focus on outputting the games and other programs you are using to the monitor, so this doesn't affect the performance of the game either.

We don't know which GPU or CPU you will get as we don't yet know the configuration options available with MSI Meg Vision X AI, but it's a safe bet that the state-of-the-art Nvidia GeForce RTX4000 series cards will be available.

Less clear is whether you can get the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus or Snapdragon X Elite chip inside. These chips, which have appeared on a handful of laptops since March 6-18, are one of the few chipsets currently available and feature an on-board NPU capable of 40+ TOPS (1 trillion operations per 1 second), making them one of the quickest ways to access the new Copilot+PC AI features installed on Windows 11 this summer.1 It is. 

While covering Computex2024 live from the show, I'd like to take a direct peek at MSI's Meg Vision X AI PC, so stay tuned!
