Usually, when we hear about a new piece of hardware, it begs the question: when will we actually see it arrive in devices? Any tech company can stand on a stage and announce a new chip, but if no manufacturers decide to actually use it, then it's pretty much dead on arrival.

Fortunately, Nvidia and Microsoft's new chip, the RTX Spark, has already found itself on multiple devices. We've already seen Microsoft's own Surface Laptop Ultra, which the company claims is the most powerful Surface it has ever released. Now, at Computex 2026, we're seeing third-party manufacturers take a shot at designing an RTX Spark laptop, and while MSI's entry looks like a simple work-focused laptop, it's anything but.

MSI reveals the Prestige N16 Flip AI+ for work, creation, and gaming

Yes, this thing can game

Over on the MSI blog, the company has revealed the Prestige N16 Flip AI+. As the name implies, you can flip the screen around to transform the device from a laptop to a tablet, and vice versa. It also uses the newly revealed RTX Spark to help people deploy and run local AI agents without breaking a sweat.

The part that stands out to me the most about the Prestige N16 Flip AI+ is that it looks like a productivity laptop, but has far more power under the hood than it lets on. In fact, MSI has a small FAQ on the product page that explicitly states it's suitable for playing games on:

Is the Prestige N16 Flip AI+ suitable for gaming?

Yes. The system leverages NVIDIA’s full suite of RTX technologies to deliver immersive gaming and entertainment experiences within a thin-and-light form factor.

If that's true, then where's the laptop drawing the graphical might from? While we haven't seen any benchmarks just yet, there are whispers that the RTX Spark itself can deliver as much GPU power as an RTX 5070. If true, it would explain why this seemingly professional-looking laptop could run Cyberpunk 2077 and set a precedent for future gaming laptops.
