MSI Vector 16 HX AI Intel Ultra 7 255HX RTX 5070 Ti 16GB 2TB 240Hz Gray

Vector 16 HX AI — what it is

The MSI Vector 16 HX AI is a 16.0-inch gaming laptop powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor with 20 cores and a 5.2 GHz turbo frequency. It pairs an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU with 12 GB of GDDR7 video memory, 16 GB of DDR5 system memory and a 2 TB PCIe SSD. The QHD+ IPS panel runs at 240 Hz with a 2560 x 1600 resolution. Windows 11 Home ships pre-installed in a gray chassis.

Check before ordering

Verify that the 14.05 x 11.1 x 1.12 inch footprint and 5.95 pound weight fit your bag and workspace. Confirm the 2.1 HDMI port and two Thunderbolt 5 connections match your external displays and docks. Two USB-A 3.2 ports, an RJ45 jack and an SD Express card reader handle peripherals and wired networking. The FHD IR webcam supports Windows Hello face login. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth are built in.

Who this suits

Competitive gamers and creators who need a 240 Hz QHD+ screen, 20-core CPU performance and RTX-class graphics in a portable form factor will benefit. The 16 GB of soldered DDR5 and single 2 TB SSD leave no internal expansion room, so buyers who want more memory or additional storage should look at something else. The non-touch display and lack of a fingerprint reader may also steer some users toward alternatives.
