18-inch QHD 240Hz gaming laptop

The MSI Crosshair 18 HX pairs an 18-inch IPS panel at 2560 x 1600 with a 240 Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 coverage. An Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with 24 cores drives the system alongside an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 8GB GDDR7. 32GB DDR5 and a 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD complete the configuration. Windows 11 Home ships pre-installed.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Competitive players who want a large high-refresh screen and current-generation silicon will fit this profile. Content creators needing 100% DCI-P3 colour accuracy also benefit. Buyers prioritising maximum battery life or a thinner ultraportable chassis should consider other categories. The 6.83 lbs weight and 240W adapter indicate a desktop-replacement focus.

The spec that decides fit

The 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX reaches 5.4 GHz max turbo and provides 36 MB smart cache for heavy multi-thread workloads. If your workflow needs that core count and frequency ceiling, this processor justifies the chassis. If you only need lighter CPU performance, a lower-tier model saves cost and power.

Questions about this item

Will the 2 TB drive fit a second M.2 slot if I want more storage later?

The laptop supports up to 64 GB of DDR5 memory and includes one 2 TB PCIe NVMe SSD; additional M.2 slots are not detailed in the specifications.

Can the 240 Hz panel drive an external monitor at the same refresh rate over HDMI?

The HDMI 2.1 port can output up to 240 Hz at QHD resolution, matching the internal panel's maximum refresh rate.

Does the 32 GB of RAM leave room for a future upgrade without replacing modules?

The system ships with 32 GB of DDR5 and the platform supports a maximum of 64 GB, so two slots remain available for expansion.
