If you’re more interested in creating or playing the latest AI language models, MSI’s new Vision PCs are a good fit. Vision PCs, winners of the CES 2026 Innovation Award, combine high-power components with ultra-low noise operation, optimized thermals, and an eye-catching aesthetic that lets you express your creativity authentically.

Available in white and black, with a stunning wraparound glass panel design and packed with high-powered components, this is a system that looks great and works.

Reliability and durability: easy maintenance and future upgrades

One of the most important factors of a desktop computer for creative hobbyists and professionals is reliability and durability. MSI heard it loud and clear with its Vision PCs and built them around easy maintenance and longevity. Commercially available standard components allow you to easily:

• Upgrade components later without proprietary restrictions
• Replace parts more easily in the event of a breakdown
• Swap and maintain components with fewer headaches
• Work comfortably inside the chassis thanks to the spacious internal layout

It’s a system designed to stay relevant longer and be easier to maintain over time.

Water cooling is standard for quieter everyday use

If you often have to use headphones because your fans whir and whine and your coolers can barely keep up, switching to a cool and quiet Aegis or Vision system will make all the difference.
Built and assembled in the USA, MSI Aegis and Vision PCs are manufactured quickly and to high standards, ensuring that your next gaming PC upgrade is everything you want and need, and a little extra, so you can enjoy one of the best PC gaming experiences.

Uniform luminance and distraction reduction ABL

MSI’s exclusive Uniform Luminance feature gives you complete control over the look and feel of your games, with specialized modes that minimize the automatic brightness limiting (ABL) that can be so distracting with other OLED monitors.

Anti-burn protection with MSI AI Care

Featuring all the latest anti-burn-in technology, MSI’s OLED Care 3.0 system adds an AI sensor, which automatically turns on or dims the monitor to extend the life of the panel and reduce the chance of image retention.

3H scratch resistance for peace of mind

Worried about damaging your beautiful new monitor? No need. MSI’s latest OLED displays come with DarkArmor film, which elevates the panel’s protection with 3H scratch resistance. Even if you accidentally bump them or the kids get their fingers on them (somehow!), the worst that will result is an easy-to-clean stain. DarkArmor Film also enhances pure black visuals by 40% for superior contrast, eliminating ambient light tints.

Final Thoughts

With the Aegis RS2 AI and Vision RS AI desktops, MSI is targeting two audiences: gamers who want maximum performance and creators who want quiet power and a high-end system that’s easy to upgrade. Pair these systems with MSI’s latest MPG and MEG
