we're here at CES 2023 in MSI's booth
and we have 10 laptops to look at and shockingly none of them are trash how
did you do it MSI first of all stealth 14 Studio which we'll tell you
about after this word from our sponsor thanks to Acer for sponsoring this video
they've been working on their earthian initiative to be as sustainable as they
are Innovative so stay to the end of the video to find out more this thing is
freaking sick it is so rare that you get 14 inch laptops that are actually good
but this thing has up to a 40 70 with a 90 watt TD feeder I got that right I did
heck yeah this also has a 13700h but the
most surprising thing is that it's really well built this thing has a
magnesium chassis and only weighs 3.7
pounds look at this Andy it's like well
built I'm genuinely shocked guys sorry it's not magnesium they're telling
me that it's magnesium aluminum alloy very important to get that correct also
important how is the keyboard
it's fine it's what like maybe an A minus somewhere around there you guys
can't get everything right but that said most of it is very good this thing also
comes with up to a Quad HD 16 by 10
display that's 240 hertz that is so
awesome on something like this it is just really impressive that it's a
gaming laptop that you can just Chuck in your backpack and just go off and do
whatever what also is impressive is the amount of battery life of this thing I'm
sure it'll die pretty fast given how powerful it is but if you look at this
it doesn't look all that big but when you sort of look at it from the side it
is a thick boy this is what is this here 72 Watt hours and a laptop of this size
is hecking impressive also of course they have a big old Vapor chamber here
to keep everything cool and replaceable memory this stuff goes up to 5200 Mega
transfers per second and that's the fastest that I've ever seen in a gaming
laptop that has replaceable memory well until the next one that we see that 56.
up next is the stealth 16 and they say that they have vastly improved the
speakers on this thing it's six Speakers by Dyna audio and uh let's just see how
good it is can it beat the HP it better because it's so much larger and has two
more speakers
but here we are six speaker Dyna audio
seems pretty good it actually it actually does stage pretty well like it
gets pretty wide
not bad not bad kind of hard to tell because it's so loud in here but how does it compare to the HD
and the lights better sorry guys
they look so unimpressed the absolute best part is now they have to hold it
for a prompter thank you very much what's fortunate though is that if
you're not fully satisfied with those speakers though you're able to pair a
second Bluetooth speaker as like rear fill surround it's actually super cool
so if we play this here are we allowed to play this what is what is this okay
so weird because it does actually process
surrounds so that's a rear speaker it's so cool like you can see how it's set up
here in the software like there's laptop there's the Bose speaker you can even
program in the rear delay that's a really cool way to use Bluetooth
speakers thank you
oh there's a sport Atmos nice
aside from the speakers this is also just a very good feeling laptop again
magnesium aluminum alloy chassis and uh
let's see how the keyboard is
it once again is aggressively fine and of course this thing has all of the
power that you need for gaming up to a core I9 13700h and a 4070 with 105 watt
TDP now I just want to get really mad at
NVIDIA for a second here uh that's sort of like the top end of the 4070 but it
can be down to 35 Watts that is just unacceptable guys why would you do that
anyway moving on next up is something that I was not expecting to see here
though this right here is the Raider ge78hx with their smart touch pad look
at this where is it where's the touchpad I don't see anything well
look at that all of this right here is
touch pad area and they've actually done it in a pretty smart way so it isn't
just a large touch pad where you're able to have programmable macros here on the
right as well so you can you know use your touchpad for actual useful things
instead of just turning it off when you're gaming with a dedicated Mouse
very cool anyway we'll look at the normal one oh geez how heavy did you say
this thing was six and a half pounds
6.8 pounds of absolute gaming chunk this
right here is the ge78 Raider HX which
is kind of the same as the last one but without the big touchpad and with a lot
more RGB they're kind of like oh it's like retro oh wow that actually does
look really cool I've only seen it from the top but when you look at there it's
kind of like the ionic five of course the specs of this thing are absolutely
Bonkers so you get up to a core I9 13
980 HX terrible name Intel excellent CPU
24 cores in a laptop that go up to 5.6
gigahertz that is freaking crazy not
only that but the memory is replaceable and it's 5600 Mega transfers per second
how the heck did they do that that's like outside of the sodium standard I
think of course this has the beefiest mobile GPU that you can get so that's
the 4090 that's what 16 gigabytes of vram
and that's 175 watt TDP the total TDP of
this thing is 250 Watts even though they
have the largest battery that you can legally put on a plane 99 Watt hours in
here that's what like one two hours
battery life something like that
one and a half they're saying yep oh no engineering sample sorry it's
going to be better later I'm sure no on physics says it won't but what physics
does say is that this right here is one
heck of a heatsink look at all of that copper right there it's just beautiful
and look at how big these heat sinks are it goes all the way
up there it's like a whole inch of fins also not only do they have dedicated
heat pipes for the CPU and GPU they even have a heat pipe for your vram they've
gone so hard on this thing it's just so pretty I love that they left it just as
copper is it painted on the inside nope wonderful absolutely love it but I know
what you all are thinking 6.8 pounds
that's all the MSI has no
here we have the Titan and this one's 7.2 oh my God
what a ridiculous machine this is it has
Cherry MX switches which actually feel really good let's just uh have a little
typey type here
that's like an easy a maybe even a plus it's about as good as you can get for a
keyboard on a laptop because well it's mechanical Cherry switches and all that
it costs you is it being this thick and what's the starting price of this guy
42.99 geez we should go look at the more budget options if you're more budget
conscious this right here is what you want this right here is the cyborg 15
and it starts at just one thousand dollars now that gets you an i5 and a 40
50 but that still is pretty good and even though this whole thing is made out
of plastic well this right here is aluminum but that doesn't really count
it feels really good like look at this I'm gonna just push on it here
even MSI's top laptops of just a couple years ago they just flop all around like
an LG gram or something this one right here not a single problem and more good
news the keyboard is no better or no worse than they're much more expensive
stealth lineup so a minus maybe somewhere around there
but I'm still pretty impressed and sure you don't get anything fancy like a mini
LED display but I don't know who cares 1080p 144 Hertz is going to be good
enough for most of you and especially if you only have like a 40 50 or a 40 60
you're probably not going to be pushing 4K anyway I really want to get this
thing into the lab what's the TDP on the 4060 oh they just told me that the TDP
on the GPU and this is 45 Watts maybe it won't be a little fast but 1080p you can
still probably do that we'll need to get this into our lab everybody knows that
MSI has heaps of gaming laptops though what really impressed me here is the way
they've stepped up their game for create oh my God this is light this thing's
just 2.2 pounds which is the same as an
LG gram but shockingly it doesn't feel like a wet noodle again just MSI you
made laptops that don't flex all over the place I'm so impressed
my keyboard is like a solid a it's not the best I've ever felt but
to hang that slight also we have a 1980 by 1200p display that gets up to 400
nits and what I really appreciate is that they haven't taken the bezels right
down to nothing this is fantastic because I can actually put my hands on
it so many 13-inch devices it's just kind of like
that because they took so much time to
make this super small and the whole device sort of does not benefit from
that also the real fantastic thing about
this is the battery somehow they have
fit a 75 watt hour battery into this thing giving you an actual 15 hours of
battery life it's a genuinely good guys
I'm I'm impressed I want to have this for like a proper run not only that but
they give you two Thunderbolt fours it's HDMI 2.1 2.1 band 2.0 boo all right
never mind well half points for that wait
oh there's a headphone jack geez I almost thought they dealt us there for a
second fantastic work guys and also full size type a and a Micro SD card reader
this is this is really good it's the LG RAM that we've been wanting for years
that LG just has not made at all as the cherry on top this thing gets the 1360p
so that gives you four performance cores eight efficiency cores and something
this big now I'm sure it's not going to have the same level of performance as
something like the 13 plus because uh well this right here is what you get for
cooling but at the same time that's a lot better than something like the HP
dragonfly Elite that only gets the U if you want a slightly larger Creator
laptop we have the prestige 14 Evo and
the CPU in this is very strange so it's the i7
13620h weird name weird CPU so you get
six performance cores and four efficiency cores so half the efficiency
cores of the 13 but I don't know sure maybe someone wants that well you
probably do want though is a 40 60. if you go up to the 16 inch that is what
you can get I'm sure this thing right here again okay this one's a little bit
more flexible it's not too bad it feels like the same key switches a a minus
somewhere around there what's really cool though
look look at this look at this so this is the new pen for the Creator
z17 and watch I can just write something here
because this tip is graphite but then I
can also come over to the laptop and still write things they currently
don't know how much graphite tips will be when this one runs out but they did
say that there's a plastic one that's also included so yeah I think it should
be what like three bucks four bucks for a couple of them they say it'll last
three years but uh we can see how much it's worn down just from today so
uh there is one fatal flaw of the pen
though look look at this this is It's magnetic guess where it Clips on
go anywhere else guys nothing anyway
fortunately the rest of it is fantastic so this has a Quad HD display the 16 by
10 version and it's 165 Hertz that is so
good for something like this also we have a RTX 4070 in here with a 90 watt
TDP look at this Vapor chamber they have for it overall though I'm super
impressed like they have actual laptops that aren't floppy it's fantastic
especially that Prestige 13 75 watt hour
battery that is fantastic I can't wait to get these into the office to properly
test them out and I can't wait to tell you about our sponsor Acer Acer's been
working on their green initiative earthion to bring awareness and contribute to a Greener future Acer's
eartheon is a mission platform for them to build towards a Greener future they
