Although we’ve just wrapped up our look at our PC components for gaming, they’re only one part of the MSI experience at CES 2026. We know that like us, for many of you, the PC isn't just a battle station; it’s also the engine that drives your daily workflow.
Top-notch performance is just as critical whether you’re rendering a 3D masterpiece or managing complex enterprise data.
That’s why we’re focusing on the tools that help you build, create, and collaborate. This year at CES 2026, we’re redefining the standard for PRO hardware with a new wave of products designed to ensure a seamless workflow.
Upgrading MSI’s PRO Lineup for the Modern Professional: Modernity, Acceleration, and Experience
If you’ve used MSI for your work setup in the past, you’re probably familiar with the core DNA of our PRO Series.
Every product in this lineup is purpose-built for professionals who demand Productivity, Reliability, and Operability – a trusted foundation designed to keep your data analysis, document handling, and collaboration consistently on track. Whether you’re working in a corporate high-rise or a home office, the PRO Series has always been about ensuring every task handles smoothly and without interruption.
But as the workplace evolves, so must the technology that powers it. At CES 2026, we’re proud to unveil a new line for the modern professionals who need more and we call it: PRO MAX!
PRO MAX represents the next evolution in our design and engineering philosophy for professionals, where we move beyond the baseline of simply getting the job done and enter a new realm defined by Modernity, Acceleration, and eXperience.
Modernity: We’re establishing a consistent language of color and hierarchy across the lineup. This clean, unified aesthetic strips away distractions, bringing your attention back to your workspace.
Acceleration: This goes deeper than just raw clock speeds. It’s about carrying and amplifying your workflow with an immediate, unhindered response to ensure that technology never slows down your train of thought.
eXperience: We’ve centered the design on making every single action feel intuitive and predictable. It brings the software and hardware together to deliver a harmonious experience when you want to get some work done.
The PRO MAX line aims to create a seamless environment where "smooth order" is the default setting. From your fixed desk setup to remote meetings, the experience remains consistent, refined, and effortless.
Revealing the First PRO MAX Desktops @ CES 2026
So, how does this new philosophy take shape on your desk?
While our standard PRO series continues to offer the reliable performance you know and love, upgrading to the PRO MAX series unlocks the next tier of computing for those who need that added edge in performance, reliability, and quality.
We’ve translated the concepts of Modernity, Acceleration, and eXperience into a full lineup of hardware that doesn't just sit on your desk, but is specifically designed to boost your productivity and make your workflows seamless.
Whether you need the raw power of a tower or the streamlined elegance of a sleek all-in-one, there’s something for everyone.
PRO MAX 80 AI+ & 150 AI+ Desktops
If you prefer the capabilities of a traditional desktop but want your space to feature a bit more of your personality, you’ll find the PRO MAX 80 AI+ and PRO MAX 150 AI+ Series are excellent picks.
These systems are engineered to be the quiet workhorses in your office space, featuring all the capabilities expected from a premium Copilot+ PC – including intelligently handling data analysis and complex multitasking with built-in acceleration to boost real-time AI performance.
We’re unveiling two form factors at CES 2026: the sleek PRO MAX 80 AI+ series, designed for compact power, and the PRO MAX 150 AI+, built to handle your most demanding workloads without breaking a sweat.
They can both be equipped with up to an AMD Ryzen 300 AI processor and modern GeForce RTX Graphics Cards to deliver top-notch performance. This hardware ensures that any heavy lifting you need is handled – leaving you free to focus on the big picture.
PRO MAX 24 & 27 All-in-One PCs
If, on the other hand, your ideal workspace is defined by minimalism and a lack of cable clutter, our new All-in-One solutions might be a better pick.
The PRO MAX 24 Series and PRO MAX 27 AIO PCs offer two screen sizes to match your space. We know that in a modern office, aesthetics are just as important as specs and performance, so you’ll find them available in both Black or White variants.
There’s no compromise on performance either with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 processor and integrated AMD Radeon 780M Graphics. These AIO PCs pack enough performance to tackle even heavier productivity and office tasks. What’s more, you’ll also find Wi-Fi 7 support for seamless, next-gen connectivity.
The PRO MAX 24 and PRO MAX 27 AIO PCs are designed to look as good as they perform – allowing you to coordinate it with your space, while enabling a seamless, high-speed PRO MAX workflow.
Say Hello to the First PRO MAX Monitors @ CES 2026
A powerful desktop is only half your setup; you also need a display that enhances your workflow. To complement our new computing lineup, you’ll find two new PRO MAX monitors that are designed to ensure that what you see is as sharp, accurate, and comfortable as possible.
PRO MAX 271UPXW12G: Minimal, Stunning Visual Perfection
For those who demand absolute visual perfection, the PRO MAX 271UPXW12G is our latest flagship. It features a stunning 4th-Gen QD-OLED panel in 4K (3840×2160) resolution with a high 166 PPI – significantly reducing text color fringing and delivering sharper, cleaner text for extended creative work.
Bringing true blacks and infinite contrast to creative workflows, it also boasts a Delta-E ≤ 2, making it an exceptional choice for creative professionals who handle precise color grading and need professional-grade color accuracy.
It’s the ultimate visual upgrade for a modern workspace.
To ensure that your PRO MAX display offers a comfortable all-day viewing experience while being resilient enough for the workspace, the PRO MAX 271UPXW12G features MSI DarkArmor Film – an exclusive feature integrated into the monitor’s MSI VisiClarity Technology.
Combined with AGLR (Anti-Glare, Low-Reflection) treatment with 25% Haze to further diffuse light reflections, the display delivers a natural, matte viewing experience that reduces reflections, while preserving the signature pure black of a QD-OLED monitor.
MSI DarkArmor Film eliminates the distracting purple or reddish tints commonly seen on standard OLEDs under ambient light by enhancing light absorption – boosting black level perception by up to 40% in well-lit environments compared to previous generations. What’s more, it also reinforces panel durability by upgrading surface hardness from 2H to 3H, providing 2.5x better scratch resistance to withstand daily wear and minor abrasions.
Visual clarity and durability is only one side of the monitor equation, though, and the PRO MAX 271UPXW12G takes care of viewing comfort as well. It's designed to offer a more comfortable HDR viewing experience for work and entertainment thanks to MSI's Uniform Luminance functionality.
A total of 14 customizable points to fine-tune the HDR brightness curve let you adjust brightness levels across different window sizes – from small highlights to fullscreen content – reducing sudden, jarring moments of brightness. This precise control enables a more stable and consistent image, which minimizes eye strain when watching a movie or getting work done.
The PRO MAX 271UPXW12G Monitor also features MSI’s exclusive AI Care Sensor. It enables next-gen OLED Care 3.0 features to combat OLED burn-in and give you peace of mind that your precious OLED panel is as safe as it could be.
To declutter your desk, this monitor features TWO USB Type-C ports with 98W charging to give you fast charging on supported laptops, smartphones, and tablets. This also allows you to power your laptop and transfer data using a single cable. The KVM functionality (control up to THREE devices) and Picture-in-Picture (PIP)/Picture-by-Picture (PBP) modes unlock seamless multitasking across different inputs and devices – making your workflow smoother.
If you’re working within the Apple® ecosystem, the PRO MAX 271UPXW12G has a lot more to offer. The new M-Color mode, for instance, ensures perfect color syncing with your MacBook® display. You’ll also gain access to a macOS® app that gives you full control over your monitor, including responding to the volume and brightness keys on your MacBook® keyboard.

PRO MAX 271QPHW E14: Gorgeous Design, Unmatched Productivity
If your day involves hours of reading documents, coding, or analyzing spreadsheets, eye comfort should be a top priority. And the PRO MAX 271QPHW E14 is engineered specifically for sustained productivity.
It features SpiraLume, MSI’s circular polarizer panel technology, which significantly reduces glare and reflections to deliver a softer, more natural viewing experience—almost like reading from paper.
The PRO MAX 271QPHW E14 helps minimize eye strain during those marathon work sessions, ensuring you stay fresh from the first email to that final report.
Introducing the First PRO MAX PC Components @ CES 2026
We know that many of you might want to hand-pick your components to build a machine that’s perfectly tailored to your specific workflow.
But until now, the choice has often been between RGB-heavy gaming aesthetics or more straightforward office hardware.
At CES 2026, we are bridging that gap with several PRO MAX PC components – including cases, motherboards, liquid coolers, and power supplies – designed specifically for the modern professional builder.
This lineup prioritizes a clean, pure, and premium aesthetic. We’ve moved away from sharp angles in favor of a more rounded-corner design language that extends across every component, which results in a soft, cohesive look that looks right at home within a sophisticated studio or office space.
The lighting is intentionally minimal; aside from a subtle glow here and there and maybe a soft accent light at the base of the chassis, your PC remains understated and distraction-free.
Motherboard: PRO MAX X870E-A WIFI
A motherboard can make or break a clean build, and the PRO MAX X870E-A WIFI is specifically designed to facilitate the cleanest machines possible. Its elegant silver-white heatsinks are adorned with understated patterns, exuding a sense of refinement that elevates your PC and the space around it in equal measure.
It features Lightning Gen 5 support as well as Ultra Connect – boasting dual 5G and 2.5G LAN, full-speed Wi-Fi 7, and USB 40Gbps. The PRO MAX X870E-A WIFI is also equipped with a larger 64MB BIOS ROM chip to enable compatibility with a broader range of next-gen AMD CPUs on the X870E chipset.
Power Supply: PRO MAX 1000PL
A robust power supply matching the PRO MAX aesthetic, the PRO MAX 1000PL combines high-efficiency power delivery with a sleek, modern design, while boasting a silver-white color scheme that’s similar to the rest of the PRO MAX lineup.
It features dual 12V-2x6 connectors for native connectivity with the newest next-gen graphics cards and an 80-PLUS Platinum Certification for top-tier efficiency.
Chassis: PRO MAX 030
The PRO MAX 030 PC Case is designed with the silver-white aesthetic in mind – pairing perfectly with the rest of the PRO MAX lineup you’ll see at CES 2026. It maximizes cooling and airflow, with support for up to a 360mm radiator and a circular mesh design.
You’ll also see excellent connectivity on the front panel, with a USB 20Gbps Type-C port that allows you to connect/charge modern devices more conveniently. A magnetic ‘P’ logo on the front panel mesh allows for subtle customization without loud lighting – allowing you to position it freely.
Liquid Cooler: PRO MAX M15 360
Serious professionals need sustained performance, and there’s no better way to sustain excellent performance than a premium liquid cooler for your high-end processors. The PRO MAX M15 360 is engineered to seamlessly integrate into either Intel or AMD platforms with a straightforward installation process. Equipped with a 360mm radiator, this AIO Liquid Cooler is capable of taming even the most powerful desktop processors on shelves today.
From a design perspective, you’ll see that it further leans into a signature PRO MAX aesthetic with soft -lit fans, a silver-white color, and a Digi-Display on the cold plate. This display allows you to keep tabs on your system status in real time.
Unveiling the Brand-New PRO MAX Lineup @ CES 2026
From full-featured desktops and compact AIO PCs to individual components, MSI’s PRO MAX is designed for modern workspaces that need a bit more style and flair, without compromising on performance, design, or aesthetics.
