MSI is such a mainstay name among laptops (as well as GPUs, accessories, and other serious gaming hardware), that it can feel like the company's been around since the stone age (which in PC terms is around 1999). As a PC enthusiast, it's hard to imagine a world in which an MSI-branded piece of tech isn't an option. But all great things must have a beginning, and MSI is about to commemorate one of its most important beginnings: the release of its very first laptop 20 years ago, and the start of its journey in the portable PC space.
