MSI Crosshair 18 and A18 hands on at CES 2025. This 18 inch laptop features the more budget friendly RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 GPUs, AMD and Intel CPUs, and lower cost chassis along with a QHD 240 hz display. Seems promising, but detailed testing needed. I would not be surprised to see this 18 inch cost a lot at the start of 2025, and then sale prices bring it closer to $1000 for the lower end configs during Black Friday 2025.
