MSI Launches the MAG Trident S 5M Desktop PC

MSI may be well known for their high-end PC components, such as their amazing graphics cards. However, they’ve got a long history of pre-made custom PCs too, and it looks like they’re planning on keeping that market thriving too. They’ve just revealed their new MAG Trident S 5M, a stunning slim-line gaming machine dedicated to cloud gaming and mobile gaming.

MSI say it is different from traditional gaming desktops, as it focuses more on helping gamers enjoy games in the living room. Thanks to the MSI App Player, it has an Android system emulator and 30-day free XBOX GAME PASS ULTIMATE through the Game Stadium software exclusively developed by MSI. This software allows you to control mobile games on the sofa with only one joystick.

MAG Trident S 5M

Between Android and Cloud, you’ll certainly have a lot to choose from. While I’m sure some of you are still sceptical of game streaming, I do find myself using it more often these days, often firing up games for myself and the kids, but you do need a good low-ping internet connection.

It’s no slouch for PC gaming either, with the fantastic Ryzen 5700G APU, which I know is good for gaming, as I have this exact APU in my arcade cabinet! More on that project in the coming weeks though.

Small Desktop with Excellent Performance

Filled with minimalist design elements, the MAG Trident S 5M is equipped with an 8-core/16-thread AMD Ryzen 5700G APU in its 2.6-liter body and supports FidelityFX Super Resolution technology, which can effectively increase the number of game frames by 2.4 times. The motherboard is also equipped with 2 sets of SSD PCIe Gen 3 slots and a 2.5″ hard drive slot, allowing players to store more games and files. Components can be upgraded through the specially designed motherboard quick slot. Just remove a screw and the entire set of the motherboard can be upgraded.

Equipped with Multiple Features Loved by Gamers

Network experience is crucial to the product positioning of MAG Trident S 5M. To optimize the network experience, MSI introduced LAN Manager software to enhance the network performance for mobile games, cloud games, and PC games, so that they can all run smoothly. In terms of connection ports, it provides 3 video outputs (HDMI 2.0, DP 1.4, and VGA output) to help gamers enjoy different entertainment content at the same time. There is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C in the front that provides 15 W output, allowing players to shorten the time it takes to charge external devices. On the side of the MAG Trident S 5M is a physical shortcut G Key, which can be used to set up a shortcut for frequently used software.
