MSI Unveils RTX 5090 Desktop With Holographic AI Dragon as Computex 2026 Opens

3 articles · Updated · PCMag · Jun 1

Summary

  • MSI’s new MEG Vision X2 AI+ puts a holographic version of mascot Lucky in a front-mounted “AI Holostage,” turning the desktop’s AI assistant into a visible, voice-responsive avatar.
  • The high-end tower is built around up to Intel Core Ultra “Arrow Lake Refresh” chips, GeForce RTX 5090 graphics, DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 SSD support, with the AI running locally on the system.
  • In an early Taipei demo, LuckyClaw handled questions about MSI’s Computex 2026 products and specs, but stumbled on general topics such as weather and the NBA Finals because its training was narrowly focused.
  • MSI is using the feature to stand out in a crowded premium gaming-PC market and extend its broader push into agentic AI hardware after unveiling a $1,599 AI-powered MEG X monitor.
  • Pricing, launch timing and regional availability for the desktop were not disclosed, though the top-end components suggest it will sit at the expensive end of the market.
