8GB GDDR7 Graphics

QHD+ IPS-Level Display

14900HX Processor

DDR5 / NVMe SSD

High-refresh detail without a separate monitor

The 16-inch IPS-level screen combines a 2560 × 1600 resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate. That balance gives fine interface detail and frequent image updates in fast-moving games, while the 16:10 format leaves additional vertical space for documents and editing tools. The RTX 5070 has 8GB of dedicated GDDR7 memory and a maximum graphics power of 115W with Dynamic Boost. MSI specifies a boost clock up to 2347MHz; actual clocks and delivered frame rates depend on the game, settings, cooling and operating mode.

24 cores for demanding workloads

The Core i9-14900HX combines 24 cores and 32 threads, up to 5.8GHz boost frequency and 36MB cache. MSI OverBoost supports a combined CPU and GPU power budget up to 200W. This gives the system room for intensive workloads when suitable power and performance modes are selected.

RGB control and everyday privacy

The four-zone RGB keyboard includes a Copilot key, while the HD camera has a physical shutter and 3D noise reduction. Dual 2W speakers and an array microphone support calls and entertainment. Firmware TPM 2.0 and a Kensington lock slot complement the laptop's physical privacy controls.
