Product summary

Big games and big projects both get the same treatment on this MSI Raider 16 gaming laptop. An Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card handle the heavy lifting, so you can turn the settings up in the latest releases without the picture stuttering. Cooler Boost with its Intra Flow design channels cool air straight onto the processor and graphics card, which pulls heat away before it builds up and keeps fan noise down through a long Saturday session. The 16-inch screen gives you extra height compared with a widescreen panel, handy when you're editing video or keeping a walkthrough open beside the game. Fancy more memory or storage later? Both sit in slots you can open up and upgrade at home.

Product information

Processor: Intel® Core™ Ultra

A processor is your computer’s brain. It turns every mouse click and key press into the actions you see on-screen, whether you’re typing up a Word doc or playing a game. There are lots of types of processor designed for different things. Simple processors can handle the basics, while more powerful versions are needed for complex tasks like video editing.

Storage Type: SSD

Storage is where your computer saves apps, files, and all the data it needs to work, including the operating system. There are a few kinds of storage to choose from, and they all come in different sizes. Some start up and load apps really fast, while others have lots of space for saving big files.

Discrete Graphics Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™

A graphics card or chip is how your computer turns data into the images you see on your screen. It’s usually part of the processor on regular desktops and laptops, while gaming and professional workstations have a separate bit of kit that handles more intensive tasks.

Operating system: Windows 11 Home

Operating systems are essential for making your computer tick along smoothly, looking after jobs like managing files, running apps, and connecting with any external devices. They keep everything running seamlessly and working together, so you can focus on what’s really important – your growing to-do list.

RAM: 16GB

Your computer's short-term memory is also known as RAM. It stores all the info that your apps need to work properly when you launch them. If you just want to send emails or do some shopping online, you won’t need as much – 4GB of RAM is enough to handle the basics, while 8GB is ideal for multitasking. But for more demanding apps and games you’ll want 16GB or 32GB of RAM, while 64GB and up is usually only needed for professional video editing and 3D modelling work. Apple also has their own type of RAM called Unified Memory that lets the processor and graphics card access the same resources for a more streamlined experience.

Resolution: Quad HD+

A screen’s resolution is made up of thousands of tiny dots called pixels, and more pixels means better images. You’ll want a high resolution if you use your computer to play games, edit videos, or watch movies. But for basic stuff like work, social media and online shopping, a low resolution option is all you need.

Refresh Rate: 240 Hz

Refresh rate tells you how many new images (or frames) they can draw every second. 60Hz is equal to 60 frames per second, while serious players usually opt for 144Hz or higher. The faster a refresh rate is, the more frames it can draw per second. That gives you a much smoother picture with much more realistic movement. It’s an advantage in games like shooters and sports where reaction time is really important.
