Last year, MSI launched the Titan GT77 with Intel Core i9-12900HX and RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU, and it was the most powerful gaming PC on the planet. It was the heaviest of heavy hitters and could handle anything you threw at it without breaking a sweat. MSI has now refreshed the Titan GT77 with the Core i9-13950 HX that Intel launched in January this year (2023) and Nvidia's RTX 4090 16GB laptop GPU. How well does the new MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V hold up though? Let's find out in our in-depth review.

I spent more than two weeks with the MSI Titan GT77 review unit loaned to us by Intel, testing it under various scenarios (and repeatedly) to give you an unbiased review. Having said that, let's look at the design and construction of this gaming laptop before moving on to the performance section.

The MSI Titan GT77 HX is quite a beast – even lifting this behemoth out of the box required some muscle work. If you plan to order one yourself, we suggest you start training before it arrives. We aptly named our unit "The Big Chungus" at the beebom office.

The Titan GT77 HX 13V offers decent build quality. Although it has an all-plastic chassis, the laptop is well-built and keeps tire flex to a minimum. The cylinder head, on the other hand, bends a little more than we would like. While not a cause for concern, it could have been built better. There are laptops on the market that cost four to five times less (ahem! ahem! Legion) but have equivalent or better build quality, so there's that.
