18-inch QHD+ 240Hz gaming laptop

The MSI Raider 18 HX A14VHG is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 2560 x 1600 IPS panel running at 240 Hz. It targets users who need desktop-class performance in a portable chassis for competitive gaming and content creation. An Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor with 24 cores and a GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU with 16 GB GDDR7 drive the system. Windows 11 Home 64-bit ships pre-installed.

Thunderbolt 5 and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity limits

Two Thunderbolt 5 ports on the right side provide DisplayPort and Power Delivery 3.1 alongside 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 on the left and 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 on the right. Wireless uses Killer Wi-Fi 7 BE1750 with Bluetooth 5.4. HDMI 2.1 on the rear supports external 4K high-refresh displays. The full-size SD UHS-III card reader sits on the left. No Ethernet port is present so wired networking requires a dongle.

32 GB DDR5 and 1 TB NVMe headroom

Memory ships as 32 GB DDR5 at 5600 MHz in a 16 GB x 2 configuration. The single M.2 2242 slot holds a 1 TB NVMe SSD with PCIe Gen5 cooling. This capacity handles modern AAA titles and heavy multitasking without paging. Storage fills quickly with large game libraries or video projects so external drives become necessary. The 99.9 Whr battery and 400 W adapter support extended sessions away from mains power.

Questions about this item

Will the 1TB drive hold my game library or do I need a second SSD?

The laptop ships with a single 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD; there is no second drive installed, so large libraries may require an additional drive.

Can I run the display at its full 240 Hz over HDMI to an external monitor?

The rear HDMI 2.1 port supports high refresh rates at QHD+ resolution, allowing an external monitor to run at 240 Hz.

What power adapter is required for full performance?

A 400W power adapter is included and is needed to sustain the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX and RTX 5080 under heavy load.
