Reviews for the MSI Raider 18 HX A14V

84.7% MSI Raider 18 HX A14V review: Titan performance without the Titan price | Notebookcheck
The new Raider 18 drops many of the "unnecessary" features of the Titan 18 while keeping the same high-end CPU, GPU, and display options available. It therefore offers the same gaming and visual experience but for much cheaper prices to be an easier recommendation even for enthusiasts.
80% MSI Raider 18 HX review: As powerful as it is heavy
Source: PC World English
I’ve come away from with somewhat mixed feelings. The benchmarks are just like my feelings, actually. Mixed and messy. When this laptop excels, it absolutely slays. The display is gorgeous and can get so bright you could feasibly pull off that “hacker in the dark” look Shutterstock is so fond of. You know the one, where somehow the single monitor in the dark room seems to be bright as the sun. That’s this display. Seriously. And for gamers, there’s plenty of great touches. The RGB is everything a gamer could want (everything a business casual person will hate) and the glowing logo that matches your preferences is the cherry on top. I could probably get used to the trackpad placement or, better yet, turn it off in favor of a gaming mouse. But there’s other areas that hold me back.
