CES 2025: MSI Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition gaming laptop with top-end specs released

At CES 2025, MSI unveiled an extensive lineup of refreshed notebooks with a variety of features to meet the needs of a wide range of users. But there was one notebook in particular that stood out from the rest.

Uniquely designed Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition

The Titan 18 HX is not only the largest and most powerful laptop in the Titan series, it’s also a design masterpiece. The Dragon Edition has a striking appearance that will not go unnoticed. The lid features a detailed drawing of a monster’s eye that’s hand-drawn and then chemically etched onto the aluminum surface, giving it an incredible texture.

The lid also features runes inspired by Scandinavian mythology and an RGB logo in the center. Inside the laptop, MSI has added a metal ring and a 3D dragon sculpture made using advanced 3D printing and layering techniques. In addition, the touchpad has customizable RGB backlighting to emphasize the device’s gamer focus.

Testing issues and unknown price

Because of MSI’s partner restrictions, I wasn’t able to run the Titan 18 HX and test its performance. Also, the company has yet to reveal the official price and launch date of the device, which could play a key role given that this laptop is clearly aimed at buyers with a bigger budget.

The Titan 18 HX’s price and launch date are also unknown.

Conclusion

MSI Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition is not just a laptop, but a true gaming monster that combines outstanding performance and unique design. This laptop will appeal to those who are looking for not only a powerful device, but also a stylish accessory that will stand out among others. But we’ll have to wait and see what price MSI puts on this epic product.
