This is THE BEST tech review I've ever seen. Short, sweet, simple, and to the point. Gave me all the information I needed, the speaker was very good and professional and didn't have an annoying voice or any annoying mannerisms, and he knew what he was talking about. The background music was at a great volume that added nice ambience to the video but didn't over power it. I will definitely recommend this channel to everyone I know and will keep watching it myself.
I really like mine. I maxed out the RAM to 192GB, upgraded the OS SSD to a 4TB Crucial T705 Gen 5 M.2 NVMe SSD with low profile Copper Heatsink, & upgraded both Storage 1 & 2 slots with 4TB Samsung 990 Pro Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSDs with Heatsinks. My upgraded M.2 NVMe SSD configuration completely got rid of the stock RAID 0 which isn't needed when using the current Fastest 4TB Crucial T705 Gen 5 M.2 NVMe OS SSD. This MSI Titan 18HX A14VIG-036US of mine does everything to perfection from Gaming to Video Editing, Content Creation, UHD 4K Video Streaming, etc.. Yes it cost me a fortune but well worth it to me!
Well man congratulations to play with a laptop like that my laptop is a mega potato in front of this one i can't remember what laptop is it is an asus I buy 10 years ago worth 310£ and recently after 10 years finally died but well what can I say congratulations on having fun i expect more videos like this keep it up like this man 👍
I’m looking at the MSI Titan 18” in the sale for $3900. i9-14900HX, RTX 4080, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD. Would you recommend the model at this price? Would like to future proof for heavy work flow and gaming. I’m also considering building a PC but nice to have some portability while maintaining power. Advice appreciated.
@177agic-x9z my MSI GE76 4080 bought in 2021 gets extremely hot. The cooling sucks. How does this stack up cooling wise as opposed to Raider equivalent 4090? I'm also looking into the Lenovo Legion 9i
Hey, wait a second, did I get this right? The RAM capacity is 192 GB? On the official MSI website, it says the maximum is 128 GB. As far as I know, if you install a larger DDR module than the system supports, it won't recognize the extra capacity. So, it would only use up to 128 GB, and the rest would be unused, which seems like a real waste of resources.
I personally thank you for this video! This is very helpful, only thing I ask MSI if they're reading this comment, is put the Scar 18 like cooling in it... Thats the only thing I am asking for in next gen or minor refresh. I also ask you if you can do a blender render and export on this machine. If you have done it before please give me a link to the vid.
We haven't use the SCAR personally so I don't have a fair comparison. For our video render tasks it was amazing our editing team loved it. In fact a few of the videos on this channel were edited and rendered using the Titan.
@@robeytech well, Blender rendering of 3d environment and especially export of the frames, which is like 4-5 frames exporting per minute normally on high end desktop, is at different level than normal video renderings and exporting with video editing softwares like premiere and resolve. So I was curious what this can do, I almost made a decision to get one, and since you couldn't find a reason why this machine has such a high amount of ram, this is what will push it to the limits, well actually beyond its limits. Handling 3D animation environment and then rendering and exporting all that is no joke
Nobody in their damn right mind would put that laptop in their checked baggage. His checked bag must be a safe with riot foam inside to risk putting that in his check bag.
As carry ons battery doesn't have to be removed. In 2024 I flew from PHL to CA & back without removing battery with my MSI Titan 18HX & PHL to Italy & back with my previous MSI GT 76 Titan 17" in late 2019 but as carry ons not check ins. Why would you trust checking in a $5000+ laptop anyway? 🤔
watching on my msi gt77 titan from 2022 with 12900hx and 96gb ram , looking to upgrade from this laptop to this one and came to see if it is worth it , this 2022 laptop has the worst hardware build quality i seen in a laptop ,
is it worth it? sorry 5k no I can see a 2k laptop with a 4080 maybe be worth it but even then I own a 2023 x16 flow 4060 and I love the flip and touchscreen of it and its the perfect laptop for my needs and decent enough battery life with still a beautiful display. if a 5k laptop you are looking for you may as well build a mini itx portable PC instead you would be better off doing that since you would get way more performance for the price not like this titan is getting long battery life lol
It's a personal choice, there are a lot of folks that the Titan (I mean look at what it gets on cinebench) is just a better option given it can still easily travel. I travel with a mini-ITX system from time to time and even with a portable monitor and everything else it takes a lot more room. They are niche products for sure, but as a truly portable workstation it's very hard to beat.
I'm considering getting one with 192GB DDR5 and putting in an 8TB M.2 plus 2 118GB M.2 Optane swap drives. Would be a nice upgrade from my Scar 18 2023 with 96GB, 8TB M.2 and 118GB Optane.
@@shznn but they dont have practically infinite durability and nowhere near as good latency. I use it as a swap drive, which would quite efficiently murder a nand drive in a few months. My current laptop is an Asus Scar 18 2023 with 96GB DDR5, 8TB NVME and 118GB Optane.
@@magfal thanks for the reply dude; I was looking at Optane from some time ago since I bought some cheaper micron 4TB SSD's and it turned out they'd slow down after some time of continuous coping of big chunks of data. First I tried Primo Cache but it doesn't quite work for me and then I looked into the Optane but wasn't quite sure what to do. And it's so good you pulled it in a laptop; mine's a desktop so was wondering what I could do
@@shznn Optane is expensive, the bandwidth isn't too good. It's good as a middle thing between ram and disk when bandwidth is less of a concern than latency for your use case.

For that kind of money, it's an absolute disappointment: unstable, noisy and, oddly enough, barely capable of handling even basic tasks. Combined with crappy Windows 11, it's a complete disaster.
Never love laptop/ notebook ever. Cause it's simple, they are always behind a desktop PC. It's like working 8 hours a week in front of an 75 inch 4k tv, then you get home and you have an old Tube tv with no Smart apps 😂. Hope they find the way to pair their products with best desktop PC for less money price. Thanks for the video ! ❤

Does this model list Thunderbolt 4 as is in Device Manager, or is it treated as USB4(TM) Device Router?
Hi@@sabishiihito it list it as "Thunderbolt Controller" without number 4 in my Windows 11 Pro Device Manager😊
Thanks for sharing a long term review on it!
I love my titan 18

i have this one , really very very good , but g-sync missed
Water cooling and I would buy this

At this price point you can get msi raider 18hx with almost identical specification.
It is cheap yet almost equal alternative of msi titan 18hx
one thing I notice between the mis raider 18hx and the Titian is the titan having a vapor cooling chamber vs the raider that is cooled by heat pipes.
@@177agic-x9z thanks guys. Much appreciated.
Do you know if the Titan 18 is capable of 1440p480?
@@Gekko858 with a gaming monitor yes, but by it self no.

The highest configuration that it comes with is 128 gb, but you can upgrade to 192 gb if you buy the 4 x 48 gb dimms.

The Titan has a vapor chamber which is better than the Scar's cooling. I own an Asus and wish it had the Titan's cooling solution.
Any info on the thermals? Mine was overheating to levels it felt like its burning
Is Titan 18 HX A14VIG build with metal chassis? Please explain
Nobody in their damn right mind would put that laptop in their checked baggage. His checked bag must be a safe with riot foam inside to risk putting that in his check bag.
It’s pretty nice, but i prefer the Watercooled Notebooks. This Noise have made me Crazy…Never want back to Air cooled.
You cant check in a laptop on a plane.....unless you remove the battery 😂

@@couragenosa1048but you are on only one kideny ..
You sold out your second kideny to buy that laptop so...

I got the GE77 Raider from 2022 and thought the build quality is good. It is a very good machine, at the time, the GT77 was out of stock.
