Core Black 18 inch UHD+ Mini LED

The MSI Raider 18 HX AI A2XWJG is an 18 inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. It targets enthusiasts who need desktop-class compute and graphics in a portable chassis. The 3840 by 2400 Mini LED panel runs at 120Hz for high-detail visual work and fast-paced play.

PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe storage interface

The 2 TB M.2 SSD connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe link, capping sequential throughput at the limits of that generation. Sustained write performance will settle below peak once the drive cache fills during large transfers. The interface itself does not saturate the platform, leaving headroom for future drive upgrades.

32 GB DDR5 5600 dual channel memory

The factory configuration installs two 16 GB DDR5 5600 modules for 32 GB total capacity. This handles modern AAA titles, heavy multitasking and content-creation workloads without paging. Memory-intensive tasks such as large-scale rendering or virtualisation clusters will exhaust the 32 GB ceiling and require a user upgrade.

Questions about this item

What screen resolution and refresh rate does the 18" Mini LED panel deliver?

The 18-inch Mini LED display runs at a 3840 x 2400 UHD+ resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate.

How does the 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency behave under sustained gaming loads?

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX can reach 5.5 GHz on its performance cores; Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound helps maintain higher clocks longer by lowering CPU and GPU temperatures.

What storage interface does the 2 TB SSD use and what throughput ceiling does that impose?

The 2 TB drive is a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD, so sequential reads and writes are limited to the PCIe 4.0 bandwidth ceiling.
