Specification	MSI Stealth 18 HX AI A2XWJG-035US	Razer Blade 14 (2025) RTX 5070
Release year	2025	2025
Processor	Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX; 2.1–5.4 GHz Arrow Lake-HX generation 24-core processor (8 performance, 16 efficiency) on the Intel HM870 chipset. There is no Hyper-Threading, so each core runs one thread. MSI	AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (10 cores / 20 threads, up to 5.0 GHz); 50 TOPS NPU The NPU runs Copilot+ AI features at low power, separately from the CPU and GPU. Razer
Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, 24 GB GDDR7; 150 W maximum graphics power with Dynamic Boost; up to 1875 MHz boost The laptop RTX 5090 is not the same card as the desktop RTX 5090. 150 W is the ceiling MSI sets for this thin chassis, so slightly lower GPU performance than thicker 175 W models is expected. MSI quotes 1824 AI TOPS. MSI	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR7; 100 W sustained TGP, 115 W with Dynamic Boost The RTX 5070 Laptop is the strongest option in the Blade 14; RTX 5060 Laptop versions are also sold. Dynamic Boost shifts 15 W of the power budget to the GPU when CPU load is low. G-Sync is enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Razer
Display	18-inch UHD+ 3840 × 2400, 120 Hz, Mini LED, HDR 1000, 100% DCI-P3; matte surface The 16:10 panel is an LCD lit from behind by many small LED zones; local dimming gives high brightness and contrast in HDR content, though halos can appear around bright objects in dark scenes. MSI’s family page describes the panel as "IPS-Level". MSI	14-inch 3K (2880 × 1800) OLED, 16:10; 120 Hz; 0.2 ms response time; Calman Verified colour profiles Ready profiles for Rec. 709, DCI-P3, sRGB and Adobe RGB lock the screen to that colour space for colour-critical work. 120 Hz is lower than the previous 240 Hz IPS, but OLED response is very fast. Razer
Memory	64 GB (2 × 32 GB) DDR5-5600; 2 SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB Both slots come populated, so an upgrade means replacing the modules. MSI lists support up to DDR5-6400; the actual speed depends on the memory combination and the CPU. MSI	LPDDR5X 8000 MHz, up to 64 GB; soldered (cannot be upgraded later) The Best Buy Canada configuration on this page has 32 GB; memory must be chosen at purchase. Razer
Storage	2 TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD; 1 M.2 slot There is no second SSD slot; MSI advises consulting a service centre before upgrading the SSD. MSI	PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD (up to 2 TB); single M.2 slot, upgradable to a single-sided drive up to 4 TB There is no second SSD slot; upgrading replaces the existing drive. Double-sided M.2 drives may not fit the thin chassis. Razer
Ports	2 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort / Power Delivery 3.1); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; 1 × HDMI 2.1 (8K 60 Hz / 4K 120 Hz); 1 × RJ45; 1 × headset combo jack Thunderbolt 4 carries 40 Gbit/s data and video over the USB-C shaped port. This model has no Thunderbolt 5. MSI	2 × USB4 Type-C (PD 3.0, up to 100 W charging); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; HDMI 2.1; UHS-II microSD; 3.5 mm audio; security lock slot The USB4 ports also work with Thunderbolt 4 docks and accessories. 100 W USB-C charging needs a 20 V capable adapter and does not replace the 200 W adapter for gaming.
