MSI refreshed its Titan laptops on Thursday. Coming in at $6,000 for a maxed-out configuration, the 17.3-inch Titan GT77 represents one of the most expensive and power-hungry consumer laptops available.

MSI's Titan laptops are built to be powerful enough to replace your desktop. In the case of the GT77, the first new Titan since 2019, that means offering Intel's Core HX-series CPUs, which have the same dies as Intel's 12th Gen desktop CPUs.

MSI's GT77 comes with an i7-12800HX and starts at $3,200. The top-end model has an i9-12900HX with eight performance cores (2.3–5 GHz) and eight efficiency cores (up to 3.6 GHz). The chip is supported by up to 150 W of max turbo power and is paired with an Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti (16GB GDDR6) laptop graphics card. With MSI's "Overboost" feature, the clamshell supports up to 250 W of power delivery to the CPU and GPU. The GPU gets 175 W, MSI said.
