16-inch QHD+ 240Hz gaming laptop

The MSI Crosshair A16 is a 16-inch gaming laptop built around a 2560 x 1600 display running at 240Hz. It pairs an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX 16-core processor with 32 threads and a 5.4 GHz turbo frequency with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU carrying 8GB of GDDR7 video memory. The system includes 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD. Windows 11 Home and an Office 2024 license are pre-installed.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This machine suits buyers who want a high-refresh QHD+ panel and a modern 16-core CPU in a 14.13 x 10.49 x 1.1 inch gray chassis weighing 5.51 pounds. It offers Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, a backlit RGB keyboard and a webcam. Buyers needing an SD card reader, a fingerprint reader, a touchscreen or a lighter ultraportable form factor should consider other models.

RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 graphics

The single specification that decides fit is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU with 8GB of GDDR7 memory. This GPU tier targets 1440p gaming at high refresh rates and content-creation workloads that benefit from the faster video memory. If the intended games or applications demand more video memory or a higher GPU tier, this configuration will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 16 GB of DDR5 memory be sufficient for current AAA titles at QHD+ resolution?

The laptop ships with 16 GB of DDR5. Many modern games run well at this capacity, though some demanding titles may benefit from an upgrade to 32 GB for smoother multitasking.

Does the 240 Hz panel support variable refresh rate for tear-free gaming?

The 16.0 inch QHD+ display runs at 240 Hz. Variable refresh rate support depends on the GPU driver implementation; the RTX 5060 hardware is capable of driving adaptive sync panels.

How many USB Type-C ports are available for external displays or docks?
