MSI Raider 18 HX 18” 120Hz UHD+ Gaming Laptop: Intel Core i9-14900HX, NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5, 2TB NVMe SSD, Cooler Boost 5, Win 11 Pro: Black A14VIG-255US

VERY POWERFUL TO BE A LAPTOP

Amazing build quality on the laptop. The RGB looks awesome. May update on gaming performance, but the screen is beautiful.Four stars because the screen has around a pixel of edge lighting, which looks odd, but is mostly unnoticeable. Brick of a charger, but makes sense given the needs of the laptop, and the fact that most chargers/PSUs are most efficient at around 50% use.Fans can get a tad loud, but that's expected from this model, which stays rather cool so far.

Product has been a nightmare to deal with. Since the day I purchased this laptop I was so excited to utilize its power and expect nothing but lightning fast load times, zero crashes, and no problems. Since I bought this laptop I have had nothing but problems. I have been a loyal MSI customer since the I first had the first MSI 1070 raider laptop and upwards and on. But this is the now second product I have bought with issues. Games are crashing because of faulty GPU, despite drivers and everything updated. Incredibly painful slow load times and even navigating the PC settings or UI it takes forever to load a menu or icons or etc. Bloatware was removed and still the computer is slow. Random crashes when surfing the web or doing something that is not at all demanding on the PC. Crashing, slow as as a snail load times and sluggish and slow computer in general despite having an I9 CPU. I willnever buy MSI garbage again. Avoid this laptop and MSI products like the plague. MANY MANY forums and users and etc explain how bad MSI quality has gotten and how many products have constant issues

It can perform well, depending on your setup, but some stuttering. May update this later if it improves on the initial performance.
