Reviews for the MSI Titan 18 HX AI A2XWIG
Source: PC Mag
MSI’s Raider 18 HX AI is the King Kong of gaming laptops: an unapologetically massive machine with powerhouse performance. It bristles with the latest technology, from Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe 5.0, but its standout feature is the stunning mini-LED display, which borders on unbelievable. It’s not flawless—noisy cooling fans, a largely plastic lower half, and a merely average keyboard trim off that fifth star—but when it comes to gaming, the Raider delivers in spades. That’s why it earns our Editors' Choice award among big-screen gaming rigs.

Every once in a while, a gaming laptop shows up that skips the whole subtlety thing and just screams performance. The MSI Titan 18 HX AI is that machine for 2025. With a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, Nvidia’s top-tier RTX 5090 GPU, 64GB of DDR5-6400 RAM, and 6TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage in RAID 0, it doesn’t pretend to be reasonable, and that’s the point. But in a market moving toward thinner, smarter machines like the ROG Strix Scar 18 and Alienware m18, you have to wonder: is there still room for a laptop this massive? Or is the Titan now just a flex for the few who need (or want) everything, all at once? To put it through its paces, I also paired the Titan with a bunch of Thunderbolt 5 accessories, from ultra-fast SSDs to hubs and cables, to see how far the new port standard can stretch when it’s backed by a system this powerful.
