MSI Crosshair 18 HX AI Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX RTX 5070 64GB DDR5 2TB gaming laptop

18-inch 240 Hz QHD+ gaming laptop

The MSI Crosshair 18 HX AI pairs an 18.0-inch IPS panel at 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 240 Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 coverage. An Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores runs at 2.1 to 5.4 GHz alongside 64GB of DDR5 5600 memory. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU brings 8GB of GDDR7 video memory, while a 2TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe SSD provides primary storage. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.

Suited for competitive play and heavy multitasking

The 240 Hz display and 24-core CPU serve esports players and streamers who need high frame rates and simultaneous encoding headroom. Creative professionals gain from the colour-accurate QHD+ panel and 64GB memory for timeline scrubbing or 3D asset work. Buyers who prioritise ultra-portability or all-day battery life away from mains power should look at thinner, lower-wattage alternatives.

64GB DDR5 and 2TB NVMe handle large workloads

The factory-fitted 64GB DDR5 5600 kit removes the need for immediate memory upgrades and supports heavy virtualisation, large texture sets and multi-application workflows. The 2TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe drive holds a sizeable game library and project files without external storage. Memory is soldered so capacity cannot be expanded later, and the single SSD slot limits total internal storage to one drive unless the module is replaced.
