Raider 18 HX AI A2XWJG 18" UHD+ 120Hz Mini LED
This MSI gaming laptop combines an 18-inch UHD+ 120Hz Mini LED display with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX 24-core processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24GB GDDR7 video memory. It ships with 128GB DDR5 5600MHz dual-channel memory and 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage. The system targets users who need desktop-class compute and graphics performance in a portable form factor running Windows 11 Home.
Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material
The builder applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound to both the processor and graphics chip during assembly to improve heat transfer and lower operating temperatures. This service aims to reduce thermal throttling during sustained workloads. The laptop arrives with the latest stable BIOS and drivers pre-installed, and each unit undergoes burn-in stress testing, benchmark verification, keyboard and touchpad checks, port validation, display inspection and physical chassis review before shipment.
24-core 285HX with 5.5 GHz turbo
The 285HX processor reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 5.5 GHz across its 24 cores with 36MB L3 cache, while the RTX 5090 provides 24GB GDDR7 memory for graphics-intensive tasks. The upgraded thermal interface material helps maintain lower temperatures during extended CPU and GPU intensive sessions, minimising performance drops. The 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage array delivers fast data access for large projects and game libraries throughout long working periods.
