**Introduction: RTX 50 Series Large Screen All-in-One Laptops Arrive**

Since the launch of NVIDIA RTX 50 series graphics cards, the revolutionary DLSS 4 technology has shown remarkable performance in gaming. Each rendered frame can be enhanced with three additional AI-generated frames, enabling mid-range graphics cards to run high-quality games smoothly at 4K resolution.

For gaming laptop enthusiasts, DLSS 4's efficient frame rate enhancement technology is the perfect companion for gaming laptops. Due to the inherent form factor limitations of gaming laptops, even flagship mobile graphics cards cannot match desktop graphics cards in terms of performance and power consumption. Therefore, AI-powered frame rate enhancement is like a timely solution for gaming laptops.

MSI's latest flagship large-screen all-in-one laptop, the Cyborg 18 AI+ series, features RTX 50 series graphics cards. The entire lineup supports DLSS 4 technology to boost gaming frame rates, delivering better gaming performance with lower power consumption and heat generation, providing an unprecedented mobile gaming experience.

The MSI Cyborg 18 AI+ Ryzen Edition 2025 (hereinafter referred to as MSI Cyborg 18 Ryzen Edition) laptop has arrived at our testing laboratory.

The 2025 MSI Cyborg 18 and Cyborg 16 offer multiple configurations. Processor options include Advanced Micro Devices' Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 or Intel's Core Ultra 9 275HX/285H. Graphics card options include NVIDIA RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, and RTX 5090 Laptop.

Our test unit features the Advanced Micro Devices Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 paired with RTX 5070 Ti Laptop. Let's examine the performance of this flagship large-screen all-in-one laptop equipped with DLSS 4 technology.
