MSI continues to expand its product line. During the recent CES 2024 exhibition in Las Vegas, the company presented new laptops, as well as its first gaming laptop. However, it was not the PDA that attracted attention at the event, but a new family of 18-inch gaming laptops. The series, consisting of three different models – Titan 18 HX, Raider 18 HX, and Stealth 18 AI Studio – has already become a highlight of this year’s CES thanks to its design and features. Here are the details of the series…

While portable devices are essential, enjoying content on a big screen is an incomparable experience. With this in mind, MSI has combined portability with an 18-inch screen in its new gaming laptop models. The Titan 18 HX, Raider 18 HX, and Stealth 18 AI Studio models boast a giant display.
All of these laptops are equipped with high-performance processors such as i9 and offer different variants of Nvidia GeForce GPUs, from RTX 4070 to RTX 4090. They also support up to 128 GB of DDR5 RAM, with the exception of Stealth 18 AI Studio, which has a maximum limit of 64 GB. Another common feature on the screen side is the panel technology.
MSI has used MiniLED instead of LCD in all three models. Thanks to the blackout zones provided by this technology, you will get color accuracy that challenges OLED screens. Plus, you’ll achieve the brightness you want for outdoor gaming. The features of each model are as follows:
