Please listen to consumers, not marketers. Msi Titan needs thicker case and better cooling. It doesn't matter if this product is a kilo heavier or lighter. The headphone jack is on the right side and that means you're not doing something right. The SSD slot should be more accessible. Despite all this, it's a great computer.

this is the most beautiful laptop currently, more beautiful than the titan, its appearance expresses power and modernity... I really love the traditional touch pad and the fingerprint... I will buy this Laptop... and please make a version with desktop gpu even if you have to increase the size of the Laptop and make a bigger back... find out how to build a water cooler radiator into the desktop gpu😅
@@art_means_artificial sorry, what did you say? you don't understand aesthetics, Razer is a laptop with such a generic design from the 2000s and with a terrible design, especially for cooling cpu and gpu, and the keyboard shrinking for its so big body makes it look ridiculous. It's the same type of people who think that a high-end iPhone is better than a high-end Samsung, you have to stop appreciating things based on the brand's reputation and start appreciating them based on their performance.
thankyou for a wonderful review. Please do help with couple of questions (1) is it possible to turn the keyboard lights off ? (2) is fan noise an issue ? how loud does it get ? - thx. Sunny
(1) yes, you can refer to 5:06 of the video (2) I think it depends on how you defined "noise". Fan sound and performance are often a trade-off, you can't ask for high performance but also low fan noise, but you can adjust the fan mode by yourself according to 11:31 of the video. Hope this information helps!
Hi, I'm interested in the MSI Raider 18 HX. I would like specific information on two points: Can you provide me with the exact TDU value of the NVIDIA RTX 4070 graphics card in this model? I want to make sure the cooling system is able to handle the heat generated during heavy use. Does this laptop's screen support BT2020 color space how many (%)? Does the 18-inch Mini LED panel offer a wide color gamut for an optimal visual experience?
We should get independent reviews for that info, but I do appreciate the breakdown from the Source! I'd also like to know if the normal cooling system can prevent "Toaster Oven" temperatures when working or gaming hard on this device?
power of 4070 is 140W which is basically the highest possible there is. thermal handles 250W combined so i think you're good. panel specifies 100% dcip3, but doesnt say BT2020 source: product page
@@JonaWu67 Thank you for the information. Regarding the BT2020 I know that it is rather hard to find it... You would need to find a site that tests all kinds of screens with professional probes to know everything about the colorimetry of this screen.
hi, big fan of the mSI laptops....started with MSI Titan pro gt73eVR 7re....... Was thinking of upgrading to this cos it fitsmy budget....but my concern is the cooling..... i do render a lot of 3d scenes and occasionally play games...... So Can I manually turn on the fan to extreme cooler boost like I did comfortably with titan pro......cause noticed no side button to do so.....or is it a keyboard control
i have 64gb 5600mhz RAM and unfortunately it only runs at 4000mhz due to limitations with the Intel 14900hx cpu and the 4 dimm layout. I dont really notice anything though. As long as it works i dont get overly concerned with such things. Mine is the qhd+ model with the rtx 4080 and got it at Costco for $2400
This guy's enthusiasm sold me I want one
This is the perfect laptop. I'm definitely getting one! Finally my search is over!
Audio jack should be on the left side as gaming with mouse will be a problem when mouse will hit headphone cable
Exactly bro. Tho I used bluetooth more these days there always will be times I want a cord headphone

not the most beautiful. razer is the most beautiful, but fingerprints are annoying

If you would add G-Sync and Advanced Optimus, I might just be a customer.
Can't wait to Nexus to test thermal and benchmarks this machine!

it's a keyboard control now, you can press the FN + up arrow key to enable the cooler boost function
I need to sell my kidney to buy this laptop 😅
❤❤❤
I'm getting the QHD+ version of this Laptop. Does it also have 4 memory slots and 2 M.2 SSD slots (1 Gen4 and 1 Gen5) like the mini-LED version? TIA.
Yes, it does.
This is not true. The costco 18hx is not mini LED@LOOOVEEWhiskey
@@embraceStruggles Sorry about that. I only checked the MSI global website and forgot to look at the local one. Thanks for the correction!
why my msi 18hx sometime fast sometime slow? can you tell me what test i can run to see the performance problem issue. Thanks!
which 18 HX laptop do you have, and what situation did you run into when the laptop sometimes became fast and slow?
does it support 192GB RAM 5600mhz??
i have 64gb 5600mhz RAM and unfortunately it only runs at 4000mhz due to limitations with the Intel 14900hx cpu and the 4 dimm layout. I dont really notice anything though. As long as it works i dont get overly concerned with such things. Mine is the qhd+ model with the rtx 4080 and got it at Costco for $2400
Is no windows hello ?
there is, you can sign in using Windows Hello by facial recognition or using your fingerprints on Raider 18 HX
sound like a used car salesman
is it available for qhd 240hz??
There is! I saw someone sharing that Costco is selling the QHD+ 240Hz version.
most powerful? so titan 18hx is a joke? 😂
You like confusion, right? let the man do his job.😂
everything is ok, but logo on the top and red elements on case are just annoying.. im creator and I don't need this kind of g@t club laptop
