18-inch QHD+ 240Hz gaming laptop

The MSI Vector A18 pairs an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX 16-core processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 GPU. It ships with 64GB DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD. The 18.0-inch IPS-level panel covers 100% DCI-P3 at 2560 x 1600 resolution and 240Hz refresh. Windows 11 Home and an Office 2021 license are pre-installed.

Ports and wireless before ordering

Verify your peripherals match two USB 4 ports with DP and PD 3.1, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1, RJ45 and a combo audio jack. The laptop uses Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4; confirm your router and accessories support those standards. Dimensions are 15.91 x 12.09 x 1.26 inches and weight is 7.94 pounds, so check bag or desk space.

Office 2021 licence and opened-box inspection

A genuine Office 2021 licence is included, removing the need for a separate subscription purchase. The factory seal is opened by engineers for component inspection and testing before dispatch, reducing the chance of shipping a unit with defects. No additional bundled accessories or software are mentioned in the specifications.
