MSI Crosshair 18 gaming laptop 18" QHD+ 240Hz Ultra 9 275HX RTX 5070 64GB 1TB

18 inch QHD+ 240Hz gaming laptop

The MSI Crosshair 18 is an 18 inch gaming laptop built around a 24 core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. It targets users who want a large high refresh display and strong multi threaded performance in a single portable chassis. The 2560 x 1600 IPS panel runs at 240Hz for smooth motion in competitive titles.

Black chassis with Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1

The black chassis measures 15.9 x 11.2 x 1.17 inches and weighs 6.83 pounds. It provides one HDMI 2.1 output, three USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports, one RJ45 jack, one audio combo jack and one USB-C Thunderbolt 4 port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery 3.0. A 24 zone RGB keyboard includes a Copilot key while Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 handle wireless connectivity.

64GB DDR5 and 1TB PCIe SSD limit upgrade headroom

The system ships with 64GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB PCIe SSD leaving little room for memory expansion without replacing modules. The Thunderbolt 4 interface caps at 40Gbps so external GPU enclosures or storage arrays cannot exceed that bandwidth. The 720p webcam and lack of an SD card reader may restrict streaming or content workflows.
