MSI Raider 18 HX AI review: A benchmark-breaking beast of a laptop

The MSI Raider 18 HX AI is a typical “desktop replacement” laptop. It’s bulky, looks unremarkable, and has a mediocre trackpad, which means users actually need to connect a mouse.MSI Raider 18 HX AI: Specs and FeaturesThe highlight of the MSI Raider 18 HX AI spec sheet is undoubtedly the Nvidia RTX 5080. This new mobile GPU is destined to become the new go-to for mobile gamers, with an impressive 175 watts of graphics processing power.


But there’s more to the story than that. The Raider 18 is also powered by Intel’s new Core Ultra 9 285HX processor, which has 24 CPU cores. The model I reviewed came with 64GB of RAM and a 4TB PCIe 5.0 SSD. It also has a Mini-LED display.MSI Raider 18 HX AI Laptop Battery
Capacity: 99 WhThe MSI Raider 18 HX AI isn’t the company’s largest, most powerful laptop—that’s the MSI Titan—but it’s still solid. It weighs about 8 pounds and is about 1.25 inches thick. That’s not unusual for a gaming laptop as large and powerful as the Raider 18, but it’s worth noting. You’ll notice it when you carry this laptop in your bag, and it won’t even fit into many mid-sized backpacks.MSI Raider 18 HX AI: Webcam, Mic, BiometricsMSI equipped the Raider 18 with a 1080p webcam. It delivers good video quality in a well-lit to moderately bright room.

The Raider 18’s own camera output isn’t great, as 1080p is well below the display’s 3,840 x 2,400 resolution. The camera’s image quality was decent on a Zoom call, though. The camera also features a physical privacy shutter. Well, that usually takes a long time.MSI Raider 18 HX AI Laptop BatteryIt took just over six minutes to complete the test, which is an incredible result. The Intel Core i9-14900HX system, the fastest we’ve tested to date, took more than eight minutes to complete the same task. MSI Raider 18 HX AI: Battery LifeThe MSI Raider 18 HX AI attempts to deliver acceptableMSI Raider 18 HX AI Laptop Batterylife with a massive 99 watt-hour laptop battery, which is the largest capacity you’ll find in a modern laptop (due to FAA restrictions on battery size in carry-on items).


However, the laptop comes standard with a 400-watt power adapter, while MSI claims it’s rated for a total of 260 watts. While you won’t use that much power when powered byMSI Raider 18 HX AI Laptop Battery you can still see the problem. 260 watts is a lot more than 99 watts.
It’s not a demanding test, but it still keeps the Raider 18’s battery life in the low single digits, behind most similar laptops.
MSI Raider 18 HX AI: VerdictThe MSI Raider 18 HX AI is a model of hardware. It has an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor that sets new records in multiple benchmarks; an Nvidia RTX 5080 GPU that’s close to the performance of the RTX 4090; and a pair of PCIe 5.0 SSDs with read speeds of up to 13,000 MB/s. It also has a bright Mini-LED display. The Raider 18 HX is designed to deliver top performance in every task possible, while its competitors, such as the Gigabyte Aorus Master 18 and Asus ROG Strix 18, are more focused on gaming performance.
