The MSI Stealth line has always been designed to provide high performance in a fairly mobile package, as gaming laptops with similar capabilities don’t always go well with portability. The updated lineup retains a similar concept, with the latest components.

The MSI Stealth 18 HX AI is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and is complemented by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti to RTX 5090 video accelerator. There are two DDR5 slots with support for up to 96 GB, and one slot for an NVMe drive. There is also support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. 

There is a separate MSI Stealth A18 AI+ modification with AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor.

The 18-inch display has two matrix options – 4K with Mini-LED backlight and 120 Hz, or the more classic QHD+ with 240 Hz. In both cases, these are IPS matrices that should cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color space.

Sound is provided by two tweeters and four subwoofers. The webcam is complemented by infrared sensors for scanning the owner’s face, and there is also a fingerprint sensor. Among other features, the company continues to cooperate with SteelSeries for gaming keyboards.

The case features two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A 3.2 Gen2 ports, HDMI 2.1, an SD card reader, 2.5G Ethernet, and a combined audio port.

Autonomy is provided by a 99.9 Wh battery. The power of the supplied power supply unit is 280 W.

All this was placed in a case measuring 399.99 × 289.67 × 19.9-23.99 mm and weighing 2.89 kg.

The price level and availability of MSI Stealth 18 HX AI in Ukraine are currently unknown.
