MSI is readying yet another compact gaming PC. This one might be its smallest, most lightweight serious gaming PC yet as it is described as a "true gaming PC". While a video published to tease this new upcoming product didn't reveal much of substance a newly uploaded sneak peak photo published by MSI Global on its Facebook page shows the product quite clearly.
With the MSI Trident customers are encouraged to "Think small. Play big." MSI has set up a dedicated Trident website where you can catch a glimpse of the new gaming PC and check a countdown timer to launch time.
The problem with the teaser video is that it shows a mainly black PC positioned within a mainly black/dark environment. In the video the Trident emerges from the ground and we see its signature corner styling with a trio of red glowing vectors – as if hot magma is trying to escape from one corner of the chassis.
In its Facebook gallery yesterday MSI provided a much clearer look at the Trident. Helpfully it provides a product shot with the "compact and lightweight true Gaming PC" sitting next to a matching style MSI gaming mouse, keyboard, headset and backpack. If that wasn't enough to provide scale, some construction lines tell us that while positioned upright the MSI Trident will be 34.6cm tall and 23.2cm deep, but we don't know the exact thickness of the machine.
So the MSI Trident is "coming soon" but the PC and components maker hasn't provided any tips about the components inside. With new laptops featuring VR-Ready configurations being released regularly in recent times, it shouldn't be hard for MSI to make a slim and powerful desktop to match up to its claim of the Trident being "the world's smallest VR Gaming PC." On the topic of 'VR readiness' this PC makes sure to offer up conveniently positioned USB and HDMI ports.
According to the MSI countdown clock we will have all the pertinent Trident details about a week and a half from now. The reveal looks set for Tuesday, 15th November, at 5.30pm GMT.
