The PS42 is the kind of thin, light, and reserved PC you'd never expect from MSI

MSI has spent a decade building their reputation as a maker of premium and hardcore gaming products. After all, basically everything they make, from motherboards to laptops to monitors, is adorned with aggressive styles, black plastics, and flashy RGB lighting. But not the new PS42. It's the kind of reserved and understated design we'd expect from somebody like Acer or Dell, not MSI.

But there's a big market of PCs built for every day use that MSI has left untapped. Sure, a GT75 Titan will handle web browsing and email and killing time on Facebook just as well as a lesser PC, but that's also no the kind of laptop you can drag to a coffee shop or work without getting a few quizzical looks. That's a problem the PS42 is aiming to solve for MSI: it's still a capable gaming PC, but it's one you can carry into public.

Specs-wise you can expect Intel's 8th Gen Core i7 processors, an NVIDIA MX150 GPU, and up to 16GB of RAM. So it's basically a mid-range gaming laptop, but wrapped in a sleek silver brushed aluminum case instead of a bunch of black plastic and LED lights. It's also quite portable, with a 15.9 mm thickness and a weight of just over 2-and-a-half pounds — plus 10 hours of battery life to get you through the day.
