MSI Stealth 16 AI+ Arrives with Core Ultra 300 and RTX 50 Firepower

MSI’s Stealth 16 AI+ Emerges from the Shadows

Taipei—The laptop world has a new shadow warrior. MSI on Monday lifted the veil on the Stealth 16 AI+, a 16-inch ultraportable that slips Intel’s unreleased Core Ultra 300 processor and NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50-series GPU into a matte-black chassis barely thicker than a ball-point pen.

The Power Inside

While MSI remains tight-lipped on exact wattage, company engineers confirmed the Core Ultra 300 is built on Intel’s 20A node, promising double-digit IPC gains over the current 14th-gen HX chips. Paired with an RTX 50 GPU—believed to use Blackwell architecture—the machine targets 120 fps ray-traced gaming at 1600p without the usual thermal fireworks.

“We wanted a no-compromise creator rig that could disappear into a backpack,” said MSI notebook VP Cliff Chung during the livestreamed reveal.

Display, Ports and the AI Sprinkle

The 16-inch OLED panel refreshes at 240 Hz and covers 100 % DCI-P3, factory-calibrated for Delta-E < 2. Connectivity is surprisingly desktop-like:

• 2× Thunderbolt 5 (80 Gbps)
• HDMI 2.1
• UHS-II microSD
• Full-size RJ45 2.5G LAN

An NPU delivering up to 45 TOPS accelerates Windows Studio effects and Adobe’s new AI upscalers, shaving export times in Premiere Pro by 38 % versus last year’s Stealth 16 Studio, MSI claims.

Pre-orders open next week at $2,799 for the 32 GB/1 TB configuration, with shipments penciled in for late August—just in time for students and mobile professionals hunting for back-tock power without the gamer garishness.
