Raider 18 HX AI — 18-inch UHD+ 120Hz Mini LED

The MSI Raider 18 HX AI A2XWJG-841US is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX 24-core processor and an NVIDIA RTX 5090 laptop GPU with 24 GB GDDR7 video memory. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and targets users who need desktop-class compute and graphics in a portable Core Black chassis.

Factory-applied Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material to the CPU and GPU before the unit leaves their facility. This service upgrade is intended to lower peak temperatures and reduce throttling during sustained workloads. The laptop arrives with the latest stable BIOS and drivers installed, plus a full burn-in and functional test covering keyboard, touchpad, ports and display.

96 GB DDR5 5600 MHz dual-channel memory

The 96 GB kit (2 x 48 GB) provides ample headroom for memory-intensive applications, large datasets and heavy multitasking. The 1 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD delivers fast boot and load times for the operating system and active projects. Storage capacity may become a constraint for users maintaining multiple large game libraries or local media archives.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 18" UHD+ 120Hz Mini LED panel is running at 3840 x 2400 after setup?

Open Windows Display Settings or the NVIDIA Control Panel and verify the resolution reads 3840 x 2400 at 120 Hz. Run a full-screen test pattern or HDR video to check Mini LED local-dimming behaviour.

What ships in the box and which items must be sourced separately?

The laptop, 1 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD, 96 GB DDR5 5600 MHz memory (2 x 48 GB), Windows 11 Pro, and Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound on CPU and GPU are pre-installed. Only peripherals such as a mouse or external drive need separate purchase.

Which configuration should I choose if I need the 24-core Ultra 9-285HX with RTX 5090 24 GB GDDR7?

This single SKU (A2XWJG-841US) already pairs the 2.1 GHz 24-core Ultra 9-285HX, RTX 5090 with 24 GB GDDR7, 96 GB DDR5, and 1 TB Gen4 SSD. No other capacity or GPU variant is offered for this model.
