16" QHD+ 240Hz Display

The MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG is a 16-inch gaming laptop with a 2560 x 1600 resolution screen running at 240Hz. It is built for users who need high refresh rates and sharp visuals in a portable chassis. The Cosmo Gray finish houses an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU with 16GB GDDR7 video memory.

24-Core Ultra 9 CPU For Heavy Workloads

The 24-core (8P+16E) processor reaches a 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency with 36 MB L3 cache, suiting professionals and gamers running multi-threaded applications or complex simulations. Buyers who prioritise battery life or a lighter device for frequent travel should consider ultraportable alternatives instead.

Gelid GC Extreme Thermal Upgrade

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on the CPU and GPU during assembly to lower system temperatures and reduce throttling during sustained loads. This custom thermal treatment is the key specification distinguishing this build from standard configurations.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy memory or storage separately?

The laptop ships with Windows 11 Home, 16 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory in dual-channel configuration and a 2 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD already installed, so no separate memory or storage purchase is required.

Should I choose a different GPU or storage capacity for this model?

This specific configuration is fixed with an RTX 5080 16 GB GDDR7 GPU and a 2 TB NVMe SSD; other GPU or capacity options would be a different SKU.

What does the 240 Hz 16" QHD+ screen deliver in actual gameplay?

The 2560 x 1600 panel refreshes at 240 Hz, giving smooth motion clarity in fast-paced titles when the RTX 5080 can push frame rates that high.
