TAIPEI—MSI's high-end gaming hardware is getting a true luxury-automotive twist in a new collaboration with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport. Infusing the technical prowess of MSI's high-end gaming laptops with the design expertise of elite racing engineers, this limited edition laptop looks like an absolute screamer.

This special edition of the MSI Stealth 16 is tricked out with the latest 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics, and a stunning 4K OLED panel. MSI has further stepped up the Stealth 16 design with a magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis and MSI's Cooler Boost 5 system, which uses dual fans and five heat pipes.

And it wouldn't be much of a collaboration without some racing-inspired flash, starting with a Mercedes-AMG logo on the lid, palm rest, underside, and bezel. Then you have the cool Selenite Gray finish and AMG’s signature rhombus pattern found on the spacebar, the hinge, and even the webcam shutter. The power button reads "Start Engine" and comes in a distinctive gray color.

Plus, for the diehard motorsports fans out there, the accessories get a racing-inspired update. The box keeps up the theme, and inside you'll find the included mouse, mouse pad, USB drive, pouch, and even cable ties get dressed up in Mercedes-AMG colors and logos. Everyone will know exactly what kind of setup you're working with no matter where you're at.

The magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis makes it possible for MSI to deliver an all-metal design that's extremely thin and light for a gaming machine, measuring just 0.78 inch thick and weighing 4.14 pounds.

With a 14-core Intel Core i9-13900H processor, your choice of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 or 4070 GPU, and a 16:10 OLED 4K panel with 100% DCI-P3 color, the powerful performance is only matched by the luxurious touches of the design.

Other features include a SteelSeries-powered per-key RGB keyboard, speedy Wi-Fi 6E wireless networking, a beefy 99.9-watt-hour battery, and a combination of hardware and software that's made purely to improve gaming performance.

MSI hasn't announced when the Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport laptop will go on sale, or for how much, but we'll be waiting at the starting line, revving our engines whenever the announcement comes.
