MSI TITAN GT77 HX 13V

Elden bling

It promises unbeatable performance and a jaw-dropping display but costs, er, five grand. Can MSI’s Titan GT77 possibly be worth it?

£5300 / go.stuff.tv/GT77

If you call your laptop the Titan, and fit it with internals that’ll break benchmarking records, it needs to deliver. And on paper, the 2023 MSI Titan GT77 doesn’t disappoint. This gaming monster deploys the full-power version of Nvidia’s flagship GeForce RTX 4090, with a fantastic 4K display, one of the most powerful mobile processors Intel has ever built, and the sort of cooling gear you’d expect in a desktop PC.

The bold design means people will know this is a top-tier laptop: the logo on the lid is packed with RGB LEDs, as is the keyboard, and the vast cooling module at the rear has its own lights that glow out from the vents.
