Raider 18 HX AI A2XWJG

This 18-inch gaming laptop pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. It ships with Windows 11 Home and includes a Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface upgrade applied by the builder. The configuration targets users who need desktop-class performance in a portable chassis.

3840 x 2400 120Hz Mini LED display

The screen resolves 3840 by 2400 pixels at 120 Hz using Mini LED backlighting. That resolution and refresh rate combination is the primary factor for buyers choosing this panel over lower-spec alternatives. Colour volume and contrast benefit from the Mini LED implementation.

64 GB DDR5 5600 dual channel and 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe

Two 32 GB modules provide 64 GB of DDR5 memory running at 5600 MHz in dual-channel mode. The 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD handles operating system, applications and active project files. Capacity headroom suits current AAA titles and heavy multitasking; larger media libraries will require external storage.

Questions about this item

What does the 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency mean for sustained workloads on the Core Ultra 9 285HX?

The 24-core processor can reach 5.5 GHz on its performance cores for burst tasks, while the Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound helps maintain higher clocks longer by lowering CPU and GPU temperatures under load.

How does the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface affect the 1 TB SSD in daily use?

The Gen4 x4 link lets the NVMe drive deliver sequential speeds up to the interface limit, so game loads, boot times and large file transfers run at the drive's rated maximum.

What clearance does the 1.26 inch thick chassis need for airflow?

The 1.26 inch profile houses a vapor-chamber cooling system; keeping the rear and side vents unobstructed lets the upgraded thermal paste move heat away from the Core Ultra 9 285HX and RTX 5090 efficiently.
