The MSI Raider A18 HX A9W is the most powerful rig I've tested so far, which means it's going to end up in my rankings of the best gaming laptops on the market. It's far from an easy recommendation, though.
This is a Raider through and through, with a plastic chassis that doesn't match up to its price tag in quality, though with the price tag of a Titan. The test unit I've received currently goes for $5,609.99 via MSI's own channels - $300 more than last year's aluminum monster. Still, with a 4K display that truly will knock your socks off - and a blindingly speedy AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D / RTX 5090 pairing - this is certainly a single-player's dream machine.
