Reviews for the MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI D2XWGKG

81.9% MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI Laptop Review: Solid performance with caveats that don't mar the core gaming experience | Notebookcheck
The MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI aims to please the upper mid-range gaming crowd with its Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070 Laptop combination, and it is able to do so for the most part. The Crosshair 16 HX AI can handle 1440p gaming and even content creation fairly well, but there some obvious compromises to keep the price in check.
75% MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI (2025) review
Source: PC Gamer English
The MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI is a highly portable workstation. While it's a little on the slower side when it comes to gaming out of the box, it really leans into the AI nomenclature. Rendering and image generation workloads is where this laptop does best, with some low-res gaming chops that leave room for Nvidia's Tensor Cores to work their magic. The supporting components could be on the speedier side, but as a work laptop with some gaming capabilities you could do a lot worse for the price.
