State-of-the-art graphics card, AI-boosted processor, quality screen: the MSI Pulse 16 AI and MSI Pulse 17 AI are establishing themselves as new benchmarks in the high-end gaming laptop market. Presentation.
The new generation of gaming laptops is arriving at MSI. One of the attractions of this year is undoubtedly the integration of the new Intel Ultra processors. Always more efficient, these models benefit from a dedicated artificial intelligence accelerator (NPU) which locally optimizes all operations useful for artificial intelligence.
Intel’s latest chips are also designed using finer engraving, allowing them to obtain a clear gain in energy efficiency. The processor architecture has been revised to combine three different types of cores: the P-Core (high performance) and the E-Core (low consumption) are joined by the LP E-Core which consume even less and ensure even balance. best performance.
We therefore find these cutting-edge technologies on the MSI Pulse 16 AI and MSI Pulse 17 AI, which have many other strings to their bow to convince gamers to give in to temptation.
MSI Pulse 16 AI: up to Core Ultra 9 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics card
The MSI Pulse 16 AI is equipped with a CPU up to Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. This extremely powerful processor with 16 cores clocked up to 5.1 GHz will have no trouble running your most demanding games and creative and professional software in good conditions. It can also count on high-performance memory, with up to 64 GB of DDR5 RAM and an M.2 PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe SSD.
Depending on the configuration chosen, the computer has a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 or latest generation NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, with 8 GB of GDDR6 video memory in both cases. With such GPUs, you will be able to run the most recent AAA games with the assurance of finding a good balance in graphics quality and image fluidity. Both graphics cards are of course compatible with NVIDIA’s two flagship technologies:
- RTX: THE ray tracing from NVIDIA allows you to obtain a more realistic and impressive graphics rendering by simulating the behavior of light in a natural way.
- DLSS 3.5: THE Deep Learning Super Sampling is a process for calculating an image in a lower definition, then reconstituting it in the desired quality, which sometimes allows a considerable gain in frames per second, and therefore much better fluidity in the game.
Quad HD+ display up to 240 Hz
In addition to improving the already very good performance of the RTX 30 family, the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture of the RTX 40 series GPUs shines with its energy efficiency, drastically reducing consumption relative to the power gain obtained. Let us add that the suite of technologies Max-Q optimizes system performance, power, battery life, and noise level for a better laptop experience.
The MSI Pulse 16 AI is a high-performance laptop PC, and you can enjoy all of its capabilities visually thanks to its beautiful 16-inch screen with a 16:10 ratio. This displays a QHD+ definition (2,560 points by 1,440) and has a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz, ideal for competitive online games or titles requiring very high fluidity. The IPS panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space.
A keyboard with numeric keypad, backlit and customizable
The connection consists of a USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C/DP port with Power Delivery 3.0 function, three USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 socket for connecting to a monitor or television and ‘a Gigabit Ethernet port. Wireless connectivity is provided by Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 standards.
The keyboard has a numeric keypad, activation distance
1.7 mm, highlighted ZQSD keys and 24 RGB LED backlighting zones that can be customized as desired via Mystic Light in the control panel MSI Center.
For audio, there are two stereo speakers of two watts each, a jack socket for connecting headphones or wired earphones, compatibility Hi-Res Audio and technology Nahimic 3 Audio Enhancer sound improvement.

MSI Pulse 17 AI: an XXL display at 240 Hz
How about equally impressive tech specs, but with even more display real estate? This is what the MSI Pulse 17 AI offers, which takes up most of the technical sheet of the Pulse 16 AI, but features a larger 17-inch screen, still QHD+ and 240 Hz.
To keep the laptop at a suitable temperature during gaming sessions, MSI has developed a cooling system including six air outlets for heat dissipation, five heat pipes for cooling and two fans. The thermal paste used is exclusive to MSI.
Windows 11 and in-house utilities including an automatic optimization tool
Like its little brother, the Pulse 17 AI is delivered under Windows 11. Users also benefit from the manufacturer’s programs, such as MSI Center to precisely control the PC settings or the MSI App Player to play mobile games Android more comfortably on the computer.
THE MSI AI Engine intervenes to automatically adjust certain system parameters according to your usage habits. Your machine thus adapts to your needs without you feeling the need to intervene.
