For starters, it features a massive 18&#8243; Mini-LED display with a resolution of 3840&#215;2400, which is actually <em>more<\/em> pixels than a 4K TV. You&#8217;d need pretty powerful components to play games at this resolution, and fortunately this configuration delivers with an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD. Inputs include two Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI 2.1 port, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and a 2.5Gb ethernet port. Wireless connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.<\/p>\n<h3>The AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D is the most powerful laptop gaming CPU<\/h3>\n<p>The AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor is a recently released cutting-edge Zen 5 CPU with 16 cores, 32 threads, and a max boost clock of 5.4GHz. This is an X3D processor with AMD&#8217;s 3D-V-Cache technology specially tailored for gamers. It easily outperforms any other mobile CPU in gaming. There is no better processor to pair with the 5080.<\/p>\n<h3>The RTX 5080 is more powerful than the previous generation&#8217;s flagship RTX 4090<\/h3>\n<p>The RTX 5080 mobile GPU is roughly 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 5070 Ti. Compared to previous generation GPUs, it&#8217;s actually slightly more powerful than the RTX 4090. With DLSS 4.5 enabled, you should be able to run supported games at 60fps or higher even on the MSI&#8217;s 4K+ display, including  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/pragmata-review\">Pragmata<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/crimson-desert-review\">Crimson Desert<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>You don&#8217;t need to worry about paying high RAM and SSD prices<\/h3>\n<p>The rest of the specs include 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM and a 2TB SSD. Both the RAM and SSD are user-upgradeable if you plan on adding more once the prices of flash-based memory and storage drop to more reasonable levels.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<h3>How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p>The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
