MSI Raider 16 Max HX Review: 300W Of Power In A Beastly Laptop
Origen: Hot Hardware EN→ES
As we finalize our thoughts on the MSI Raider 16 MAX HX, it's important to keep things in context. My previous laptop review was of a gorgeous thin & light system that made specific sacrifices for the form factor. The Raider 16 MAX HX is a laptop that refuses to make sacrifices, though. It's not as sleek as the Dell XPS 16 I was speaking of previously, and it lacks a level premium feel due to the mostly-plastic construction. Thad said, it's also potentially the fastest 16" laptop we've ever tested, depending on the workload. All of our issues with this system come down to minor frustrations with a few of MSI's design decisions. The proprietary power plug is probably the biggest, for repairability reasons, but we understand why MSI had to go that route; USB-C can't carry enough juice, and a barrel plug has its own drawbacks. The onboard speakers aren't great but many gamers with headsets might not use them much anyway, and the Steelseries GG software requirement is basically a nitpick on a machine with 32GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the things we love about this machine are legion: awesome performance, a gorgeous OLED screen, plenty of ports for external devices, a solid keyboard layout for folks that actually want to get things done, and very easy access to the most important upgrades. If the RAMageddon settles down next year, you could throw a pair of hot-clocked CSODIMMs and a 4TB PCIe 5.0 SSD in this thing in five minutes. As with any product review, it all comes down to pricing and your personal priorities in the end, and that's where this machine really blows its competitors out of the water. If you're OK with its few setback, then this machine delivers bombshell 16-inch laptop performance for $4,299 MSRP. That's pricey, but considering that an identically configured Alienware 16 will run you $4,709, it's competitive. The thing is, this system isn't available at MSRP; in fact, it appears to currently be a Micro Center exclusive, where it's presently selling for just $3,499. That is, frankly, a great price for this class of machine. If you have use for an incredibly powerful 16" laptop with a glorious OLED display and decided gamer aesthetics, you'd better get on the road to your nearest Micro Center store before this HotHardware Editor's Choice machine sells out. Hopefully it comes to this page at Amazon soon. There's also an AMD-powered version with an RTX 5080 on board that's kicking around Amazon as well.

70% MSI Raider 16 Max HX review: RTX 5090 power, one big problem
Origen: PC World EN→ES
The MSI Raider 16 Max HX has some good things going for it. For a system packing such high-end components, it’s surprising that it isn’t bulkier. It has an excellent display and robust connectivity options, but that isn’t quite enough to set it apart from the pack. And while it can deliver extreme performance that lets it pull ahead of its competition, it doesn’t consistently outperform more affordable machines running on lower-tier hardware. Its leads are often quite narrow. As it stands, the MSI Raider 16 Max HX’s edge may be confined to specific use cases such as AI applications, where its specific hardware can shine. But as a gaming workhorse, there’s better value elsewhere.
