MSI’s Computex 2026 PRO MAX Lineup Has a Quiet Pitch for Mac and Desktop Users

MSI came to Computex 2026 with a new PRO MAX lineup, and the short version is they’re targeting the all-in-one and mid-range desktop market with a focus on design and display quality that feels more premium than the category usually bothers with.

The centerpiece of the lineup is the PRO MAX 80 desktop. It’s a compact tower built for work and home office use, with support for up to Intel Core Ultra processors and discrete GPU options. It won a Red Dot Design Award this year, which matters more as a signal about build quality and aesthetics than as a spec you’d put in a comparison chart.

There are also two all-in-ones: the PRO MAX 24 and PRO MAX 27. The 27-inch version is the one worth paying attention to if screen real estate is a priority. Both run quiet, lean into the clean desk aesthetic, and are aimed at users who want a capable machine without a tower taking up space.

On the display side, MSI announced two QD-OLED monitors built specifically for Mac users: the PRO MAX 271UPXW12G (27-inch, 4K) and a 34-inch ultrawide variant. These are not afterthoughts. The 27-inch model runs at 166 PPI, includes Pantone Validation, and ships with a DarkArmor anti-reflective film that MSI says cuts glare without killing the contrast that makes OLED worth buying in the first place.

The Mac-specific angle is in the connectivity. Both monitors include dual USB-C ports running at 98W and 15W respectively, a 3-device KVM switch built in, and MSI’s M-Mate App for macOS that handles the kind of system integration Mac users expect. Switching between a MacBook and an iPad or iPhone dock situation without a mess of cables is the sell here.

Pricing and availability haven’t been confirmed yet. We’ll have more once MSI locks in the details post-Computex.
