MSI continues to expand its product lineup. During the recent CES 2024 in Las Vegas, the company unveiled new laptops alongside its first gaming handheld. However, stealing the spotlight at the event wasn’t the handheld, but rather the new 18-inch gaming laptops family. The series, consisting of three different models – Titan 18 HX, Raider 18 HX, and Stealth 18 AI Studio – already became the highlight of this year’s CES due to their design and features. Here are the details…
MSI Unveils Waves of AI-Ready Laptops & Its First Gaming Handheld at CES 2024
While portable devices are essential, enjoying content on a larger screen offers an incomparable experience. Acknowledging this, MSI has combined portability with an 18-inch screen size in its new gaming laptop models. The Titan 18 HX, Raider 18 HX, and Stealth 18 AI Studio models all boast a giant display.
All these laptops feature high-performance processors such as the i9 and offer various Nvidia GeForce GPU choices, ranging from the RTX 4070 to the RTX 4090. They also support DDR5 RAM up to 128 GB, except for the Stealth 18 AI Studio, which has a maximum limit of 64 GB. Another feature they share on the screen side is the panel technology.
MSI has used MiniLED instead of LCD in all three models. Thanks to the dimming zones provided by this technology, you’ll have color accuracy that challenges OLED screens. Additionally, you’ll achieve the desired brightness for outdoor gaming. The features of each model are as follows:
