Title: MSI Raider 16 Max HX laptop review: Faster than the Titan 18 HX
Post by: Redaktion on June 09, 2026, 19:16:47
The new Raider 16 Max HX packs an insane level of power even when compared to most larger 18-inch gaming laptops, but be prepared for a somewhat thick and heavy system.

QuoteUsers who like to travel and game on-the-move may find more value from lighter and more portable 16-inch solutions like the MSI Stealth 16 or Razer Blade 16 which come with similar RTX 5090 graphics running at slightly slower performance levels.

... while creating more fan noise due to shitty thin cooling. Lower performance. More fan noise. Great recommendation, Allen!

Quotevery heavy even for the category
2.7 kg is very heavy for an high end gaming notebook with 175W graphics and 290HX Plus??? What do you expect? A paper thin chassis at 2kg producing 80db fan noise?

Quotevery warm CPU temperatures
What else? Intel defines a max operating temperature of 105°C. In order to provide best possible performance, it is intended to reach the temperature limit.
