The Next Generation Laptop. #Helpful Post

the outward appearance of the msi gs70 v

is surprisingly professional giving its

gamer roots but don't let it fool you

this five-pound laptop is packin

hardware that would make most desktops

blush with a geforce r-tx 28 Emacs q a6

core intel core i7 8750 h 32 gigs of ram

and one terabyte of raid 0 m2 SSD

storage every single component of this

machine is balls to the wall which

should mean balls to the wall

performance but can you possibly hope to

cool all of that stuff in a chassis this

thin RR TX cards even worth the extra

cost in a laptop can Linus go for just

one video without interrupting the flow

of the content for us sponsor message

the Marlin screwdriver set from I fix it

features five specialty precision

screwdrivers check it out today at

so here's the thing see the performance

of a laptop with one of invidious shiny

new r-tx laptop GPUs will vary

significantly depending on the cooling

and the power available so you'll always

get the same number of CUDA and r-tx

course but for the 2080 max-q in

particular the base and the boost clocks

can be all over the place laptop

manufacturers can actually configure

this particular card's power target to

anything from 80 watts all the way up to

over a hundred and fifty watts

that means remember this is according to

Nvidia spec that you could end up with a

base clock of just 735 megahertz

while a properly cooled one would be

capable of boosting to over double that

so what that means is that independent

reviews of this generation of laptops

are gonna be even more important than

ever before

because you cannot compare between

models based on the spec sheet alone so

how did msi then fare taming of the

beast fine I guess

so under a stress test the CPU

immediately jumped up to a hundred

degrees and was forced to throttle down

until its turbo boost ran out of its

Elden around 2.8 gigahertz sustained on

all course which might not sound amazing

and it's not as good as it could be but

it still kicks out a write impressive

1205 score in Cinebench so mobile

professionals take note but also stay

tuned because we're gonna go further in

depth with that in a future video

today's focus is mostly gaming since

this is our first look at mobile r-tx so

let's change gears to 3d Mark's new

portroyal tests treating our eyeballs to

some of the first real-time trace trays

to come out of a laptop and this also

gave us a moment to really appreciate

the 17 inch 1080p display that nside

crammed into what it would have

traditionally been a 15.6 inch laptop

chassis and I got it

save their IPs type panel delivers some

damn good visuals at a hundred and

forty-four Hertz and of course with the

horsepower to back it up really only G

sync and factory calibration are notable

missing features here I can't say like

just overall the industry I love the

move to the super slim bezel 17-inch

displays the difference in immersion

versus a 15.6 inch is palpable now back

to the benchmark we got a score of about

4,000 which at face value met basically

nothing to me since this test hasn't

been around for very long but then upon

further investigation it turns out that

it's roughly 1/3 slower than a desktop

RTX 2080 with a similar cpu and that

lines up pretty nicely with the

reduction in clock speed with the G 75

landing around twelve hundred megahertz

versus 1850 on the desktop card now I

could show you guys a bunch more

benchmarks of a desktop graphics card

expectedly crushing a thin laptop but we

figured it would be a lot more

interesting to compare it to other than

in like gaming laptops which is why the

GS 75 is going to be taking on the

gauntlet of Zephyr is's Zephyr Zephyr I

suffer anyway with the max Q versions of

the gtx 1070 1080 and RTX 2080 all

represented back in the portroyal test

the two r-tx cards completely destroyed

their GTX equivalents partly because the

test won't run on those cards but but

more interestingly the Sephiroth GX 701

pulled out a convincing lead in both the

score and core clock achieved likely

thanks to its superior cooling stay

tuned for our full review of that little

beast even more interestingly though in

3d marks times by benchmark the RT X

cards absolutely wiped the floor with

their last gen competitors turning out a

result that is 30% faster than what

we've ever seen in the thin laptop

before and this kept up past the

synthetics as well which is just great

news for gamers the mobile RT X 2080 is

a freaking beast max Q design or no now

the GS 75 again wasn't quite able to

keep up with the Zephyrus GX 701 but

generally just by a couple of maybe

about five FPS so MSI is leaving some

performance on the table here

perhaps this was in order to maintain a

more conventional keyboard and trackpad

layout or perhaps it was that they tuned

it this way for acoustic reasons

now the GS 75 isn't silent but purr in

videos max-q guidance it's quiet enough

that it's not gonna bother you while

gaming and it's easily overpowered by

its decent onboard speakers so overall

the GS 75 games really freaking well but

what about the whole portability thing

it is a laptop well as much as we're

kind of tired of saying it but MSI just

keeps making us repeat ourselves here

the build quality here just isn't good

enough for a machine that costs $3,000 I

can easily click the trackpad by pushing

the palm rest area and you can feel the

Machine flexing when you're picking it

up like honestly the word we settled on

here was flaccid they do claw back some

points with one of the best assortments

of IL that I've seen in quite some time

with Thunderbolt 3 full-sized HDMI and

Ethernet being the stars of the show

although if you want to be a star you'll

probably need a standalone camera as

this one here isn't going to get too too

many compliments on twitch but I look

like 10 years younger which is nice

that's maybe our biggest gripe about the

GS 75 though is the trackpad it is last

hopped which is good but the flex of the

chassis removes any chance of it having

a solid clicky feel and although I like

where amis I was going with the size

using up almost all of the available

vertical space and giving it this extra

horizontal width they somehow went too

far making it really hard to type

without ending up with a palm resting on

the trackpad causing accidental

activations and when I brought up these

issues at CES and the size reply was

well the trackpad turns off when you

plug in a mouse and although I do expect

the average user of the GS 75 to read

we have a mouse plugged in it's kind of

like dropping your dog off with a friend

when you go on vacation and saying well

Oliver won't in your house at all as

long as you've gotten outside when he

needs to so I just I never thought I'd

say this but until MSI can get their

palm rejection way better they should

stick to smaller track pads now as

mentioned above the worst part of the

keyboard is actually still the trackpad

but once that is disabled it's actually

pretty good the keys have a nice long

stroke with decent feel overall and my

only real gripes here are about the

layout and they're pretty small ones I

just think that these keys up here could

have been better used as dedicated home

and end or media control keys with that

said they can be remapped so removing

the bottom of the device were greeted by

an impressive 82 watt hour battery which

given the power in here is not gonna be

letting you work cordless all day but if

you treat it nicely and you're not

running games or heavy software it gets

you a pretty darn solid five hours of

work time then past the battery we've

got access to three m2 SSD slots making

for very easy storage expansion and RAM

that is well it's technically upgradable

but if you're like oh gee where are the

DIMM slots that's the same thing we were

wondering so our unit has both of the

sodam slots filled already and if we did

want to change them out we'd actually

have to remove everything to get to the

other side of the motherboard bring us

to the bottom line should you buy one of

these now you will be getting one of the

fastest gaming laptops on the market

faster than anything that was released

in 2018 by a fair margin and compared to

the Sepphoris

you get more RAM for $300 less on an

otherwise identically Specht system but

the zephyrus in the real world is faster

and it has g-sync and factory panel

calibration along with noticeably higher

build quality also maybe I'm off base

here but in my mind by the time you're

spending $3,000 I feel like it's not

that much of a stretch to go a little

bit further test 3300 which is why I am

not

recommending that you buy this laptop

but instead recommending that you buy

this laptop except for $2,300 to make

that happen

you do need to drop the specs of it but

there should be more than enough cooling

for an RT X 27 t in here 16 gigs of ram

fits the needs of most people and at

that price I am much more willing to let

slide some of my gripes about the build

quality in exchange for the overall

usability and the great battery capacity
