- Goop, Goop, Goop!


I primarily bought it to run trading simulations and algos; It does well in handling games such as ARK and Subnautica. The temps are kept well below 60 degrees Celsius when elevated Fan noise is minimum when put to max for me and Crisp movement and execution when performing tasks

Both graphics engines, the Nvidia GPU and native AMD are excellent. AMD drives the laptop screen, Nvidia drives the external monitor. The colors and gaming speeds are excellent, and the AMD CPU rocks. Easy to disable or remove Windows bloatware. PC is mad fast unburdened.



Upgraded from a 3050 to the 5060 and oh my lord does it perform as intended. Same thing from and intel i5 to a Ryzen 7, the performance is out of this world. Released 3 days after my birthday, so thats just brownie points

Works well plays game smooth So far Plays dune awakening on ultra settings




The power and speed.

- Integrated GPU Mode (meaning when not gaming I can switch to integrated GPU mode which extends battery life and less of a resource hog). - I like the options of being able to turn on the cooler boost with shortcuts.

Absolutely obsessed with this. Such an amazing price and it does everything I want and more. -rgb lights look great and are customizable with the included msi software -plays every game even current Gen games at amazing quality levels without a glitch -super lightweight design - super easy to monitor and even overclock or change how much vram etc is being used - running it on standard settings has this laptop running whisper quiet. No fan noise at all -can't say enough how much this price point is an amazing deal for everything it can do. Budget friendly powerhouse for sure


The gaming capability on this MSI Raider 18 is awesome. The 4K and 2K visuals are honestly the best I have seen on a non-OLED screen. Everything looks sharp, bright, smooth, and extremely immersive. Performance is outstanding. With the Intel Core Ultra 9 and RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, loading times are drastically shorter, and the system feels almost overpowered for most gaming. For non-competitive gaming, I honestly think balanced power settings are more than enough. It runs incredibly well without needing to push everything to maximum performance mode. Daily work and administrator tasks are handled with extreme ease. Apps open quickly, multitasking is smooth, and there is basically no waiting for things to load unless Windows itself is the reason. The keyboard is responsive and comfortable, and the Windows Hello fingerprint and face support are a huge plus for convenience. Overall, this laptop makes both gaming and work easier because it removes the usual slowdowns, lag, and waiting around.



1) Fast initial boot and setup. 2) Solid build.
