18-inch QHD+ 240Hz gaming laptop

The MSI Crosshair 18 HX AI pairs an 18.0-inch QHD+ panel at 2560 x 1600 with a 240Hz refresh rate. An Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores and a 5.4 GHz turbo frequency drives the system. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics with 8GB GDDR7 handle modern titles. 32GB DDR5 memory and a 1TB PCIe SSD complete the core specification.

Thunderbolt 5 and RGB keyboard

Two Thunderbolt 5 ports join three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one HDMI 2.1 output, RJ-45 and a headphone jack. The 24-zone RGB backlit keyboard adds per-key lighting control. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth provide wireless connectivity. A 1080p webcam supports video calls. Windows 11 Home ships pre-installed.

Desktop-replacement users needing high refresh

The 18-inch chassis at 15.9 x 11.02 x 1.17 inches and 6.83 pounds suits stationary setups where screen size and cooling matter.

Questions about this item

Will the 32 GB DDR5 memory need replacing for heavier workloads?

The laptop ships with 32 GB DDR5 soldered on board; no SO-DIMM slots are available so the memory cannot be upgraded later.

What thermal limit appears first during extended gaming on the RTX 5070 8 GB GDDR7?

The GPU hits its 8 GB VRAM ceiling before the cooling system saturates, capping texture-heavy titles at 1440p ultra settings.

How loud and hot does the 18 inch QHD+ 240 Hz chassis get under all-day load?

Dual fans keep the Core Ultra 9 275HX near 5.4 GHz while surface temperatures stay below 45 °C and fan noise remains at a moderate office hum.
