The MSI Raider 18 HX isn’t the only behemoth weighing down this brand’s shelves. I recently reviewed the astronomically priced MSI Titan 18 HX, a machine that topped my own benchmarking charts with a massive chassis and top-of-the-range components.
What’s different here? Mostly, the price. The MSI Raider 18 HX is the Titan for those who don’t want to break $5K, packing the same high-end RTX 4090 / Intel i9-14900HX configuration as well as cheaper RTX 4070 and RTX 4080 options. The cheaper model drops some fancier features like the built-in glass trackpad, mechanical keyboard, and full aluminum chassis, but it’s still the same core experience - a luxury powerhouse for the wealthiest gamers among us. With the Titan currently sitting among the best gaming laptops on the market due to its sheer power, the Raider certainly has a lot to live up to.
