MSI has announced the MEG Vision X2 AI⁺, the latest addition to its flagship MSI MEG prebuilt desktop lineup. The system pairs high-performance gaming hardware with an impressive front-panel display and a local AI assistant. 

What makes this desktop unique is the AI Holostage, a cylindrical display built into the chassis. According to MSI, this interface is designed to materialise digital companions, desktop pets, and custom third-party AI avatars. You can get an idea of what it should look like from the MSI dragon mascot in the image below:

The system comes loaded with LuckyClaw, MSI's own ‘agentic AI'. The software responds to natural speech commands to enable hands-free management of performance profiles, compatible MSI monitor configurations, and RGB lighting effects.

As for the specs, these systems will be equipped with Intel Core Ultra (Arrow Lake) processors, DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 storage, and up to an RTX 5090 graphics card. Other features include Wi-Fi 7 support, MSI AI Engine, and Silent Storm Cooling AI, which uses AI to adjust fan speeds.

KitGuru says: Do you think this AI Holostage will be enough to convince buyers to get this system over its competitors?

Today we are back with another prebuilt system review as we check out the CyberPowerPC Infinity Ultra 7 RTX. This machine is packing in Intel's new Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, alongside an RTX 5070, 32GB DDR5 and a 2TB SSD. It's also completely free of RGB lighting, with a clean and understated aesthetic achieved thanks to the Lian Li Lancool 217 case and its wooden accents. Let's take a closer look and see if this PC is worth buying.

• Solid 1440p gaming performance.
• Thermals are kept well in check.

Pros

• Clean, understated aesthetic.

• 12-core CPU is capable of handling more demanding workloads, too.
• Impressive thermal results.
• Beautiful rear cable management.
• Decent value overall.
• Already assembled and ready to ship next day.

Cons

• SSD speeds drop off as it fills up due to DRAM-less and QLC NAND design.
• Louder than it needs to be, especially for CPU workloads.
• A couple of minor cable management areas could be improved.
• Our PSU had the RMe clicking issue, though this would be covered under PCSpecialist's warranty.

KitGuru says: The Falcon Pro is a solid PC for both work and play, and with a couple of minor adjustments, it would be even more impressive.
