The MSI Infinite RS 13th is a high-performance gaming and productivity PC that offers top-end performance while maintaining a silent fan sound profile. It features a Core i9-13900KF and an RTX 4090, both liquid-cooled, with two radiators and nine fans. The system's MSI Prospect 700RL case is of higher quality than most prebuilts, with lots of room for adding extra components. However, the case is large and cumbersome, making it inconvenient for placing on carpeted floors. The system performs well in gaming and productivity tasks, with the CPU and GPU both liquid-cooled for improved performance. The MSI Center software offers a range of features and customization options. The system is priced at over $4,000, but offers good value for the components included.

The MSI MPG Infinite X2 13F has a larger SSD storage capacity of 2TB compared to the NZXT Player Three's 1TB SSD. Both models use NVMe SSDs, which offer faster read/write speeds than SATA SSDs. The MSI MPG Infinite X2 13F's form factor is unknown. The volume, thickness, height, and width of both models are not mentioned in the review.
