18-inch QHD+ 240 Hz display

The MSI Stealth 18 HX AI A2XWIG-028US is an 18-inch gaming laptop with a 2560 x 1600 screen running at 240 Hz. It pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU. The system includes 32GB of DDR5 5600 memory and a 2TB NVMe Gen4x4 SSD. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.

Suited for high-refresh gaming and AI workloads

The 24-core CPU and 16GB GPU suit creators and gamers who need desktop-class speed in a 0.94-inch chassis. The Killer E3100G LAN and HDMI 2.1 output support competitive play and external displays. Buyers who prioritise battery life or a lighter carry weight should consider smaller alternatives.

RTX 5080 with 16GB video memory

The single specification that decides fit is the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU with 16GB of video memory. It determines whether the laptop can handle the target resolution and ray-tracing workloads. If the workload demands more VRAM or a different GPU tier, this model is not the right part.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 32GB DDR5 5600 configuration or look for a larger memory option?

This model ships with 32GB DDR5 5600 soldered on board; no larger factory configuration is offered for this SKU.

What does the 240 Hz figure mean when I am actually gaming on the 18 inch QHD+ panel?

The 18.0 inch 2560 x 1600 screen refreshes at 240 Hz, so motion stays sharp in fast titles without needing an external monitor.

Which display standard does the HDMI 2.1 port support and what resolution does it cap at?

The single HDMI 2.1 output drives up to 4K at high refresh rates for external displays or TVs.
