Remember to get the Asurion protection plan since MSI will only cover this for six months, you need to click the link on the product page when expanding for more details.

You can purchase Asurion protection for between $200 to $500 depending on which laptop you choose and how many years you want, just be sure to use the link on the item description page when purchasing it.

Laptop version 5090 is closer to desktop RTX5070ti/5080. Laptop version is weaker more then 2 times in comparison with RTX 5090 desktop.

5090 Laptop uses the exact same GPU die as the 5080 Desktop. The difference is higher capacity VRAM than the 5080 desktop and the lower 175W power budget because there's no way you can cool a 350W component in a Laptop.

One look at the number of SMs and it's pretty obvious how the Laptop GPUs stack in relation to the Desktop variants.
