18-inch UHD+ Mini LED gaming laptop

The MSI Raider 18 HX AI A2XWIG is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 3840 x 2400 Mini LED panel running at 120 Hz. An Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX with 24 cores and a 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency pairs with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU carrying 16 GB of GDDR7 memory. The system targets users who need desktop-class compute and graphics in a single portable chassis. Windows 11 Home ships pre-installed.

Core Black aluminium chassis

The Core Black enclosure measures 15.91 by 12.09 by 1.26 inches and weighs 7.94 lbs. HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material to both the CPU and GPU during assembly to lower operating temperatures and reduce throttling under sustained load. A full quality-control pass verifies BIOS, drivers, thermals, keyboard, touchpad, ports and display before the unit ships. LAN and WLAN provide wired and wireless connectivity.

96 GB DDR5 5600 dual-channel memory

Memory consists of two 48 GB DDR5 5600 modules running in dual-channel mode for high-bandwidth multitasking. Storage comprises two 4 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs configured for fast boot and application load times. HIDevolution’s authorised build-to-order service includes a one-year warranty covering the upgrades, expert support access, and the option to request further customisation before purchase.
