The clue’s in the name – the MSI Titan 18 HX is an absolute beast, but it’s one very few will need or afford. MSI has thrown everything at its latest flagship and this is as good as it gets in 2024, a real snapshot of peak gaming laptop performance as it stands today. Of course, to take a look at that picture you’ll need to fork over well over $5,000. With its 4K Mini LED display, desktop-like stature, and more creator-inspired features, though, this is more than a gaming laptop. It’s a pinnacle rig for wealthy gamers or those looking for an all-in-one media creation suite. It’s the best gaming laptop I’ve tested so far from a sheer performance standpoint, but it’s certainly not going to be for everyone.
