Some EU retailers have started listing Intel Panther Lake-based gaming laptops, but of course, you can't buy them right now.
Belgian and French Retailers List Various Core Ultra 300-Baed MSI Gaming Laptops
As we are getting closer to the launch of Intel's Panther Lake processors, laptop manufacturers have started readying their newer laptop editions. With Intel’s Panther Lake set to debut at CES 2026, these laptops should now be nearing retailers as they move through the final stages of the supply chain. MSI is one of the first ones that appears to have readied its newer laptops for sale through various retailers.
Several new MSI laptops have been readied using the Intel Core Ultra 300 processors, including chips from the X7/X9 family and the mainstream Core Ultra 300 non-H series as well.
As far as MSI (likely Prestige series) laptop listings are concerned, the starting price is 2294 Euros, including VAT. This comes out to around US$2692, offering a configuration of Core Ultra 7 355, 32 GB LPDDR5X memory, 1 TB SSD, and a 60 Hz 14-inch display as seen on PC21. This definitely appears too expensive, but it's just a placeholder for now. Then we have another model with the same configuration, but boasts a 16-inch 2.8K 120 Hz OLED display, listed at 2611 Euros, including TAX or US$3065.
The third model is the MSI 9S7, boasting Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, which is a 16-core processor along with 32 GB RAM and 2 TB storage. This one brings the flagship Xe3-based Arc B390 iGPU that competes with the RTX 3050 laptop GPU. The starting price is 1643 Euros or US$1928 as mentioned on the Belgian retailer 2Compute.
Then the fourth one is the MSI 16-inch laptop, featuring the flagship Core Ultra X9 388H processor, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD, and a 2.8K 120 Hz OLED display. This laptop is listed on the French retailer PC21 for about 3006 Euros or US$3528. Expect more such listings to surface in the coming days.
