The flagship MSI Raider A18 HX gaming laptop features the new AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor (16 cores, 32 threads, and up to 144MB of cache with 2nd Gen 3D Cache technology)), up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24GB of GDDR7, powered by the Blackwell GPU architecture, supports DLSS 4, and Max-Q technologies.

We have a huge 18-inch 4K 120Hz Mini-LED panel, with VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, MSI OverBoost Ultra technology that pumps 260W into the MSI Raider A18 HX between its CPU and GPU. In order to keep these new high-end chips cool, MSI is using its Cooler Boost 5 cooling with dedicated 2 fans, 7 heatpipes, and a new SSD cooling design. There's even an additional heatpipe dedicated ready for an ultra-fast Gen5 SSD.
