18-inch UHD+ 240Hz Mini LED gaming laptop
The MSI Titan 18 HX A2WJ pairs an 18-inch UHD+ Mini LED panel running at 240 Hz with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU equipped with 24 GB of GDDR7 memory. It ships with Windows 11 Pro, 64 GB of DDR5 6400 MHz memory in dual-channel configuration, and 16 TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage across two 8 TB M.2 drives. The chassis measures 15.91 by 12.11 by 0.94 to 1.26 inches and weighs 7.94 lbs in Core Black.
Verify power delivery
The 24-core CPU reaches a 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency and the RTX 5090 draws significant power under load, so confirm that your AC adapter and docking solutions can sustain the combined draw. Ensure the operating environment can accommodate the 0.94 to 1.26 inch Z-height for airflow, and validate that any external monitors support the native 3840 by 2400 resolution at 240 Hz over the available video outputs.
Gelid GC Extreme TIM targets sustained thermal
HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on both the CPU and GPU to lower steady-state temperatures during extended compute or rendering sessions. The upgrade aims to reduce throttling when all 24 cores and the 24 GB GDDR7 GPU run continuously, complementing the factory cooling design. A full burn-in stress test is performed before shipment to verify thermal behaviour under prolonged load.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the Titan 18 HX A2WJ and what must I purchase separately?
The laptop ships with Windows 11 Pro, the 18" UHD+ 240Hz Mini LED panel, 64 GB DDR5 6400 MHz memory, 16 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage, RTX 5090 GPU with 24 GB GDDR7, and Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound pre-applied. No extra components are required for operation.
How do I choose between the listed memory and storage configurations for this model?
This unit is a single build-to-order configuration: 64 GB DDR5 in a 2 x 32 GB dual-channel kit and 16 TB NVMe storage as 2 x 8 TB M.2 drives. There are no alternative capacities to select for this SKU.
What does the 5.5 GHz turbo frequency mean for real-world performance on the Ultra 9 290HX Plus?
The 24-core processor can boost up to 5.5 GHz on demanding threads, allowing heavy workloads such as rendering or compilation to sustain higher clocks while the Gelid GC Extreme paste helps keep temperatures below throttle limits.
