What would a rAge Expo even be without everyone’s favourite hardware brand making an appearance? Thankfully we will never have to know because MSI is back, baby and not just back in a small way; instead, the brand seems to be pulling all the stops.
For those gamers out there who don’t know about MSI, we have one question, are you okay? But in any case. MSI is a premium computer hardware and laptop brand and them being at rAge means that fans will have the opportunity to experience, touch and fall in love with all the latest in MSI notebooks and desktop hardware.
For rAge Expo 2022, MSI has partnered with Intel® to bring rAge visitors the opportunity to test out the latest 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and the MSI Z790 Motherboard performance through triple-A gaming titles. They will also run some of the latest titles on the newest MSI Intel® 12th gen gaming laptops and MSI Custom pre-built Desktops such as the MAG CODEX X5.
Finally, MSI will showcase the HTC Vive Pro 2 at the expo and allow attendees to explore a new world of VR and see how the Metaverse is supposed to be traversed.
However, only some of what MSI brings will make your wallet and bank account cry. The brand will also run epic activations and competitions, allowing everyone to walk away from the MSI stand with something awesome.
The competitions being run are as follows:
