Core Ultra 9 275HX plus RTX 5070

The MSI Crosshair 18 HX AI 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 runs Windows 11 Home on a 2560 by 1600 QHD+ IPS panel at 240 Hz with 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage. The chassis includes 32GB DDR5 5600 memory and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe SSD.

Competitive players who need 240 Hz colour accuracy

The 240 Hz QHD+ display and 24 core processor suit competitive shooters and creators who want high refresh rates with full DCI-P3 colour. Buyers who prefer a smaller form factor or longer unplugged runtime should look at something else. The 90Whr battery and 240W adapter support the high performance hardware but the 6.83 lb weight makes daily carry less convenient.

240 Hz QHD+ panel with 100 percent DCI-P3

The single specification that decides fit is the 18 inch 2560 by 1600 IPS panel running at 240 Hz with 100 percent DCI-P3. If your workflow or games need that refresh rate and colour volume the laptop matches. If you need a different resolution refresh rate or colour gamut this panel will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 240W adapter keep the laptop charged during heavy gaming sessions?

The 240W power supply is designed to deliver enough power for the Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070 under full load while simultaneously charging the 90Whr battery.

Is the 32GB DDR5 5600 memory soldered or can I upgrade it later?

The laptop uses standard DDR5 5600 SO-DIMM modules, so the 32GB can be expanded up to 64GB by populating the second slot.

Does the Thunderbolt 4 port support power delivery for charging?

Yes, the USB-C Thunderbolt 4 port supports PD 3.0, allowing compatible chargers or docks to power the laptop.
