ASUS ROG Strix G18 (2026) / MSI Titan 18 HX AI A2XWJG-070

MSI says OverBoost Ultra can allocate up to 270 W combined to the CPU and GPU; the actual figure depends on the application.

The laptop version does not share the desktop RTX 5090’s configuration or power, so its performance is not the same either.

Dynamic Boost shifts spare power to the GPU when the processor draws less; 175 W is the upper limit for this laptop GPU.

MSI lists VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and about 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage. Mini LED splits the backlight into zones, deepening blacks in dark scenes, though a faint halo can appear around bright objects.

MSI lists four M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4. This SKU ships with three drives; MSI mentions Super RAID 5 support.

This configuration ships at MSI’s stated maximum; both slots are filled, so memory cannot be added, only swapped.

USB-C charging is capped at 140 W; MSI recommends a 65–140 W USB-PD adapter. Full performance needs the included 400 W adapter.

It gives vibration feedback instead of a physical click; the surface is merged into the palm rest.

The IR sensor enables Windows Hello face sign-in.

A vapor chamber spreads heat over a wide surface, helping the CPU and GPU sustain high power for longer.

The global spec table lists up to 96 GB of DDR5-6400 for this chassis; actual memory speed can vary with the module and processor combination.
