The new year is often the best time to rethink your setup, and MSI is marking the start of 2026 with a hands-on roadshow designed for gamers, creators, and power users who want a meaningful upgrade.
From 5th to 11th January 2026, the MSI Day with Intel®: The Ultimate New Year Upgrade roadshow takes over the Concourse Area at Plaza Low Yat, bringing together MSI’s latest gaming laptops powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, supported by Intel® and in collaboration with NB Plaza and SNS Network.
This roadshow is built around a simple idea: let users experience how modern gaming laptops perform in real-world scenarios. Visitors can test high-FPS gaming, explore AI-enhanced features, and compare different MSI series side by side before making a purchase—along with access to exclusive, event-only promotions.
Why Intel® Core™ Ultra Matters in Everyday Use
At the core of MSI’s latest lineup is the Intel® Core™ Ultra processor, designed not just for raw speed, but for how modern users actually work and play. Its value comes from three practical advantages.
First is the dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit), which handles AI-related tasks separately from the CPU and GPU. This means features such as background noise cancellation, video effects, or AI-assisted apps can run without eating into gaming performance or frame rates.
Second is intelligent efficiency. By managing workloads more effectively, the processor runs cooler and draws less power, allowing laptops to maintain smoother, more consistent performance over long gaming or work sessions.
Finally, it is future-ready. With broad support for tested AI features and applications, Intel® Core™ Ultra positions these laptops as capable AI PCs that remain relevant as software continues to evolve.
