MSI Raider A18 HX A9W review: Extreme power at an extreme price

EN→zh-CN
The MSI Raider A18 HX A9W is a CPU, GPU, and storage performance powerhouse. It delivers across the board with strong results in every benchmark, from multi-core sustained CPU workloads to ray-traced gaming and even AI large language models. Compared to its Intel-powered alternative, the Raider 18 HX AI, the A18 is broadly similar but scores small wins in gaming and storage performance. The A18 also notches a large win in AI performance thanks to the RTX 5090’s 24GB of VRAM. It’s not a perfect laptop. The Raider A18 is thick, heavy, and not much to look at. It also suffers a mediocre keyboard and touchpad and, as you might expect, can be loud under full load.

MSI Raider A18 HX review: big in power, big in size… as in literally too big
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN
The MSI Raider A18 HX is a great top-of-the-line laptop with a stunning display and enough ports to run an entire gaming setup. However, it comes at a premium price point and is so large that it doesn’t fit in a single backpack I own.

这个大尺寸屏幕常见于以桌面使用为主的笔记本电脑。
大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面，小屏幕的功耗会较低，而设备也会更轻盈小巧，售价更低。

3.64 kg: 通常来说，17寸笔记本电脑的重量与此相当。这对于15寸笔记本电脑来说有些过于沉重，不过对于以桌面使用方法为设计方向的设备也可以接受。
