This one in particular is meant for PC gamers who don&#8217;t just want top performance, but also some bling.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a gaming laptop with this many high-end features. With a Mini-LED display, a mechanical keyboard, and an invisible haptic touchpad, there&#8217;s no other 18-inch gaming laptop like it, and that means a flashy price, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Big and Beautiful<\/h2>\n<p>The MSI Titan is massive. It\u2019s 1.26 inches thick at its largest point and weighs nearly eight pounds. You read that right. Eight whole pounds. Gaming laptops aren\u2019t known for being particularly portable, especially ones with 18-inch screens, but the MSI Titan HX is almost a full pound heavier than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/razer-blade-18-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\">Razer Blade 18<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hefty and well-crafted, though, as you\u2019d hope for in a laptop north of $5,000. It\u2019s not a single piece of machined aluminum like the Razer Blade 18, but the magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis feels sturdy. The MSI Titan HX uses a thermal shelf on the back, making the laptop larger, but providing a protrusion for extra ventilation and ports. MSI keeps it fairly minimalist with the all-black interior and silver trim, especially compared to older versions of this laptop. The invisible touchpad makes this feel even more modern. And yet, both the Razer Blade 18 and <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Alienware-18-Area-51-Gaming-Laptop\/dp\/B0F8QKH2J9\" class=\"external-link\"

Larsen<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the rear, you\u2019ll find the power jack, the HDMI 2.1 port, and the Ethernet. Next to some massive vents, you\u2019ll find three USB-A 3.2. Gen2 ports on the side, along with the two Thunderbolt 5 ports, the SD card slot, and a headphone jack. That\u2019s just about every port you can imagine, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/usb-ports-speeds-generations-and-thunderbolt-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\">Thunderbolt 5 ports<\/a> are the interesting part.<\/p>\n<p>Intel sent me several Thunderbolt 5 accessories to demonstrate just how much bandwidth the new spec provides. I set up two 32-inch 4K 240-Hz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-gaming-monitors\/\">OLED gaming monitors<\/a>, all powered through a single USB-C cable. It\u2019s magical seeing those two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/high-refresh-rate-explained\/\">high-refresh-rate monitors<\/a> being daisy-chained together, despite their 240-Hz refresh rates. In the past, Thunderbolt 4 ports were limited to two 4K monitors at 60 Hz.<\/p>\n<p><native-ad position=\"sponsor-product\" shoulddisplaylabel=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t have two expensive gaming monitors to connect to, the MSI Titan 18 HX has a really solid Mini-LED display onboard. It can hit 414 nits of brightness in SDR and around double that in HDR. That\u2019s not quite as good as the OLED gaming monitors out there, but it\u2019s certainly bright enough to notice the difference in HDR. The color saturation is great too.<\/p>\n<p><native-ad position=\"in-content\" shoulddisplaylabel=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You want that 4K resolution when it&#8217;s spread across 18 inches of screen, even if you may not always want to play games at that native resolution. It\u2019s incredibly sharp. This really is the best screen you can get on an 18-inch laptop right now, as OLED isn&#8217;t common in this larger screen size yet. MSI also offers an IPS version of this panel, as well as a lower-resolution 2560 x 1600 240-Hz IPS option.<\/p>\n<p><cm-unit\/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the speakers and webcam aren\u2019t as premium. The 1080p camera is noisy, and the six-speaker audio system is mediocre. The speakers are almost irrelevant given how loud the fan noise is, at least when it comes to gaming.<\/p>\n<h2>Tricks Up Its Sleeve<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW lgCwTv responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Computer Computer Hardware Computer Keyboard Electronics Hardware Laptop and Pc\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/683a7fbe1314770a0f8a9281\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Titan%252018%2520HX%2520AI%2520luke%2520larsen%25207.png\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/683a7fbe1314770a0f8a9281\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Titan%2018%20HX%20AI%20luke%20larsen%207.png 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/683a7fbe1314770a0f8a9281\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Titan%2018%20HX%20AI%20luke%20larsen%207.png 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/683a7fbe1314770a0f8a9281\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Titan%2018%20HX%20AI%20luke%20larsen%207.png 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/683a7fbe1314770a0f8a9281\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Titan%2018%20HX%20AI%20luke%20larsen%207.png 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/683a7fbe1314770a0f8a9281\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Titan%2018%20HX%20AI%20luke%20larsen%207.png 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/683a7fbe1314770a0f8a9281\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Titan%2018%20HX%20AI%20luke%20larsen%207.png 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/683a7fbe1314770a0f8a9281\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Titan%2018%20HX%20AI%20luke%20larsen%207.png 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Luke Larsen<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The keyboard is unique and an absolute joy to type and game on.
