Many gaming laptops strive for maximum performance with maximum RGB brightness, but nothing is tougher than MSI’s Titan. The company announced its Titan 18 HX laptop at CES 2025. It’s an 18-inch monster with an illuminated touchpad, Intel’s Core Arrow Lake processor, and Nvidia’s new RTX 50 series GPU for a starting price around $5,000.
But is it really scandalous enough?
It would be much crazier to also release a completely disjointed Titan, decorated with dragon motifs and runes inspired by Norse mythology. And that’s exactly what MSI is doing with its Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Norse Myth. It has the innards of the standard Titan, with a new heat pipe cooler dedicated just for its PCIe Gen5 SSD to maximize transfer speeds, and it adds a massive engraving of a hand-drawn dragon head on its lid as well as ‘a 3D image. dragon coin printed under glass in the wrist rest. Now we are talking.
It features an 18-inch 4K Mini LED display capable of 3840 x 2400 (16:10) resolution at 120Hz refresh, six-speaker audio setup (including two woofers), Wi-Fi -Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Cherry mechanical keyboard. switches with per-key RGB lighting, a 99.9 Wh battery, and a power adapter capable of delivering 400 watts.
For I/O, you get two Thunderbolt 5 USB-C ports, three USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, HDMI 2.1, Gigabit Ethernet, and a full-size SD card slot. This entire fire-breathing magnesium alloy assembly weighs heavy 3.6 kg / 7.94 lb, but that’s not as heavy as Alienware’s boat anchor on a new 18-inch Area-51 laptop.
MSI has made Dragon Edition laptops before, but compared to previous incarnations, the new Titan Dragon Edition looks fiercer and actually less garish – just look at this old thing. And true worshipers of Bahamut or Baal (or take your pick) may be able to get their Dragon Titans in an accessory bundle including a matching mouse, keychain, and colorful desk pad when it launches in March .
