The MSI Titan HX in the limited edition is particularly eye-catchingDragon Edition Norse Myth Edition. The model is characterized by a special design, which, according to the manufacturer, was inspired by Nordic mythology.

The lid is decoratedhand drawn dragon motifand there is a special plaque embedded under glass on the palm rest. Technically there should be no differences from the normal version.

MSI Raider 18 HX & A18

The Raider 18 seems to do thatsame case as the titaniumto use, dimensions and weight are in any case identical. The Raider also seems to have inherited the display from its big brother.

You only have to make a few compromises compared to the Titan, for example there is no mechanical keyboardnur 2 statt 3 M.2-Slots. However, the price is probably a good deal lower than the top model.

There is also a version of the Raider called Raider A18.The A stands for AMDand points out that a CPU from this manufacturer is working inside. More precisely, MSI uses an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, which, thanks to its 3D cache, should have significant advantages over the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, especially when gaming.

MSI places the Vector series one step below the Raider series. There is no longer an option for an RTX 5090 laptop and you also have to do without a mini LED display, but MSI always offers the devices in this series as onegood pricean.
