1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,759 we're here at CES 2023 in MSI's booth 2 00:00:03,179 --> 00:00:10,260 and we have 10 laptops to look at and shockingly none of them are trash how 3 00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:13,980 did you do it MSI first of all stealth 14 Studio which we'll tell you 4 00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:17,340 about after this word from our sponsor thanks to Acer for sponsoring this video 5 00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:20,699 they've been working on their earthian initiative to be as sustainable as they 6 00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,680 are Innovative so stay to the end of the video to find out more this thing is 7 00:00:22,859 --> 00:00:30,539 freaking sick it is so rare that you get 14 inch laptops that are actually good 8 00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:36,000 but this thing has up to a 40 70 with a 90 watt TD feeder I got that right I did 9 00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:38,040 heck yeah this also has a 13700h but the 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,840 most surprising thing is that it's really well built this thing has a 11 00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:46,079 magnesium chassis and only weighs 3.7 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,600 pounds look at this Andy it's like well 13 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:52,800 built I'm genuinely shocked guys sorry it's not magnesium they're telling 14 00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:59,000 me that it's magnesium aluminum alloy very important to get that correct also 15 00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:59,000 important how is the keyboard 16 00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:05,760 it's fine it's what like maybe an A minus somewhere around there you guys 17 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:11,820 can't get everything right but that said most of it is very good this thing also 18 00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:16,200 comes with up to a Quad HD 16 by 10 19 00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:18,240 display that's 240 hertz that is so 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,720 awesome on something like this it is just really impressive that it's a 21 00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:26,340 gaming laptop that you can just Chuck in your backpack and just go off and do 22 00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:30,180 whatever what also is impressive is the amount of battery life of this thing I'm 23 00:01:28,020 --> 00:01:34,799 sure it'll die pretty fast given how powerful it is but if you look at this 24 00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:39,299 it doesn't look all that big but when you sort of look at it from the side it 25 00:01:36,659 --> 00:01:45,119 is a thick boy this is what is this here 72 Watt hours and a laptop of this size 26 00:01:42,299 --> 00:01:49,259 is hecking impressive also of course they have a big old Vapor chamber here 27 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:54,299 to keep everything cool and replaceable memory this stuff goes up to 5200 Mega 28 00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:58,020 transfers per second and that's the fastest that I've ever seen in a gaming 29 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:02,700 laptop that has replaceable memory well until the next one that we see that 56. 30 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,540 up next is the stealth 16 and they say that they have vastly improved the 31 00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:12,780 speakers on this thing it's six Speakers by Dyna audio and uh let's just see how 32 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:17,180 good it is can it beat the HP it better because it's so much larger and has two 33 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,180 more speakers 34 00:02:19,379 --> 00:02:25,200 but here we are six speaker Dyna audio 35 00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:29,720 seems pretty good it actually it actually does stage pretty well like it 36 00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:29,720 gets pretty wide 37 00:02:35,099 --> 00:02:41,000 not bad not bad kind of hard to tell because it's so loud in here but how does it compare to the HD 38 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,220 and the lights better sorry guys 39 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,160 they look so unimpressed the absolute best part is now they have to hold it 40 00:02:54,780 --> 00:03:00,360 for a prompter thank you very much what's fortunate though is that if 41 00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:04,860 you're not fully satisfied with those speakers though you're able to pair a 42 00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:08,400 second Bluetooth speaker as like rear fill surround it's actually super cool 43 00:03:06,660 --> 00:03:13,739 so if we play this here are we allowed to play this what is what is this okay 44 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,580 so weird because it does actually process 45 00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:21,780 surrounds so that's a rear speaker it's so cool like you can see how it's set up 46 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:26,760 here in the software like there's laptop there's the Bose speaker you can even 47 00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:28,920 program in the rear delay that's a really cool way to use Bluetooth 48 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,040 speakers thank you 49 00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:36,780 oh there's a sport Atmos nice 50 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:42,840 aside from the speakers this is also just a very good feeling laptop again 51 00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:46,040 magnesium aluminum alloy chassis and uh 52 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,040 let's see how the keyboard is 53 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:58,920 it once again is aggressively fine and of course this thing has all of the 54 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:07,860 power that you need for gaming up to a core I9 13700h and a 4070 with 105 watt 55 00:04:04,379 --> 00:04:09,959 TDP now I just want to get really mad at 56 00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:15,420 NVIDIA for a second here uh that's sort of like the top end of the 4070 but it 57 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:20,699 can be down to 35 Watts that is just unacceptable guys why would you do that 58 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,100 anyway moving on next up is something that I was not expecting to see here 59 00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:31,860 though this right here is the Raider ge78hx with their smart touch pad look 60 00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:38,340 at this where is it where's the touchpad I don't see anything well 61 00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:40,139 look at that all of this right here is 62 00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:44,040 touch pad area and they've actually done it in a pretty smart way so it isn't 63 00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:48,240 just a large touch pad where you're able to have programmable macros here on the 64 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,180 right as well so you can you know use your touchpad for actual useful things 65 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:55,740 instead of just turning it off when you're gaming with a dedicated Mouse 66 00:04:52,979 --> 00:05:02,360 very cool anyway we'll look at the normal one oh geez how heavy did you say 67 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:07,139 this thing was six and a half pounds 68 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:11,040 6.8 pounds of absolute gaming chunk this 69 00:05:07,139 --> 00:05:12,419 right here is the ge78 Raider HX which 70 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,040 is kind of the same as the last one but without the big touchpad and with a lot 71 00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:21,300 more RGB they're kind of like oh it's like retro oh wow that actually does 72 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,600 look really cool I've only seen it from the top but when you look at there it's 73 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:29,900 kind of like the ionic five of course the specs of this thing are absolutely 74 00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:34,340 Bonkers so you get up to a core I9 13 75 00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:39,539 980 HX terrible name Intel excellent CPU 76 00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:42,660 24 cores in a laptop that go up to 5.6 77 00:05:39,539 --> 00:05:44,820 gigahertz that is freaking crazy not 78 00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:49,800 only that but the memory is replaceable and it's 5600 Mega transfers per second 79 00:05:47,699 --> 00:05:53,880 how the heck did they do that that's like outside of the sodium standard I 80 00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:58,500 think of course this has the beefiest mobile GPU that you can get so that's 81 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:04,620 the 4090 that's what 16 gigabytes of vram 82 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:08,520 and that's 175 watt TDP the total TDP of 83 00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:09,960 this thing is 250 Watts even though they 84 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:15,240 have the largest battery that you can legally put on a plane 99 Watt hours in 85 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,500 here that's what like one two hours 86 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,500 battery life something like that 87 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:26,280 one and a half they're saying yep oh no engineering sample sorry it's 88 00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:31,199 going to be better later I'm sure no on physics says it won't but what physics 89 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,060 does say is that this right here is one 90 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:37,199 heck of a heatsink look at all of that copper right there it's just beautiful 91 00:06:34,699 --> 00:06:41,699 and look at how big these heat sinks are it goes all the way 92 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:47,160 up there it's like a whole inch of fins also not only do they have dedicated 93 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:52,500 heat pipes for the CPU and GPU they even have a heat pipe for your vram they've 94 00:06:49,979 --> 00:06:56,699 gone so hard on this thing it's just so pretty I love that they left it just as 95 00:06:54,419 --> 00:07:02,639 copper is it painted on the inside nope wonderful absolutely love it but I know 96 00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:05,639 what you all are thinking 6.8 pounds 97 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:07,680 that's all the MSI has no 98 00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:13,860 here we have the Titan and this one's 7.2 oh my God 99 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:16,560 what a ridiculous machine this is it has 100 00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:21,560 Cherry MX switches which actually feel really good let's just uh have a little 101 00:07:18,660 --> 00:07:21,560 typey type here 102 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:29,460 that's like an easy a maybe even a plus it's about as good as you can get for a 103 00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:33,840 keyboard on a laptop because well it's mechanical Cherry switches and all that 104 00:07:31,620 --> 00:07:39,660 it costs you is it being this thick and what's the starting price of this guy 105 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:43,560 42.99 geez we should go look at the more budget options if you're more budget 106 00:07:41,699 --> 00:07:47,940 conscious this right here is what you want this right here is the cyborg 15 107 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:53,340 and it starts at just one thousand dollars now that gets you an i5 and a 40 108 00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:56,880 50 but that still is pretty good and even though this whole thing is made out 109 00:07:55,020 --> 00:08:00,900 of plastic well this right here is aluminum but that doesn't really count 110 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:06,599 it feels really good like look at this I'm gonna just push on it here 111 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:11,580 even MSI's top laptops of just a couple years ago they just flop all around like 112 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:16,139 an LG gram or something this one right here not a single problem and more good 113 00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:18,960 news the keyboard is no better or no worse than they're much more expensive 114 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,639 stealth lineup so a minus maybe somewhere around there 115 00:08:21,479 --> 00:08:27,720 but I'm still pretty impressed and sure you don't get anything fancy like a mini 116 00:08:25,379 --> 00:08:32,339 LED display but I don't know who cares 1080p 144 Hertz is going to be good 117 00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:36,419 enough for most of you and especially if you only have like a 40 50 or a 40 60 118 00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:40,200 you're probably not going to be pushing 4K anyway I really want to get this 119 00:08:38,459 --> 00:08:44,760 thing into the lab what's the TDP on the 4060 oh they just told me that the TDP 120 00:08:42,539 --> 00:08:48,720 on the GPU and this is 45 Watts maybe it won't be a little fast but 1080p you can 121 00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:52,740 still probably do that we'll need to get this into our lab everybody knows that 122 00:08:50,459 --> 00:08:57,180 MSI has heaps of gaming laptops though what really impressed me here is the way 123 00:08:55,140 --> 00:09:02,700 they've stepped up their game for create oh my God this is light this thing's 124 00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:05,100 just 2.2 pounds which is the same as an 125 00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:10,019 LG gram but shockingly it doesn't feel like a wet noodle again just MSI you 126 00:09:08,339 --> 00:09:13,339 made laptops that don't flex all over the place I'm so impressed 127 00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:22,980 my keyboard is like a solid a it's not the best I've ever felt but 128 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:27,959 to hang that slight also we have a 1980 by 1200p display that gets up to 400 129 00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:31,860 nits and what I really appreciate is that they haven't taken the bezels right 130 00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:36,779 down to nothing this is fantastic because I can actually put my hands on 131 00:09:34,380 --> 00:09:41,100 it so many 13-inch devices it's just kind of like 132 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,899 that because they took so much time to 133 00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:48,779 make this super small and the whole device sort of does not benefit from 134 00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:52,380 that also the real fantastic thing about 135 00:09:48,779 --> 00:09:55,260 this is the battery somehow they have 136 00:09:52,380 --> 00:10:00,540 fit a 75 watt hour battery into this thing giving you an actual 15 hours of 137 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:04,440 battery life it's a genuinely good guys 138 00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:09,360 I'm I'm impressed I want to have this for like a proper run not only that but 139 00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:15,660 they give you two Thunderbolt fours it's HDMI 2.1 2.1 band 2.0 boo all right 140 00:10:13,620 --> 00:10:19,500 never mind well half points for that wait 141 00:10:17,339 --> 00:10:23,580 oh there's a headphone jack geez I almost thought they dealt us there for a 142 00:10:21,060 --> 00:10:28,320 second fantastic work guys and also full size type a and a Micro SD card reader 143 00:10:25,980 --> 00:10:32,399 this is this is really good it's the LG RAM that we've been wanting for years 144 00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:37,860 that LG just has not made at all as the cherry on top this thing gets the 1360p 145 00:10:35,459 --> 00:10:42,060 so that gives you four performance cores eight efficiency cores and something 146 00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:45,839 this big now I'm sure it's not going to have the same level of performance as 147 00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:50,160 something like the 13 plus because uh well this right here is what you get for 148 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:54,180 cooling but at the same time that's a lot better than something like the HP 149 00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:58,800 dragonfly Elite that only gets the U if you want a slightly larger Creator 150 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,740 laptop we have the prestige 14 Evo and 151 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:07,019 the CPU in this is very strange so it's the i7 152 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:09,480 13620h weird name weird CPU so you get 153 00:11:07,019 --> 00:11:15,180 six performance cores and four efficiency cores so half the efficiency 154 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:19,740 cores of the 13 but I don't know sure maybe someone wants that well you 155 00:11:16,860 --> 00:11:23,880 probably do want though is a 40 60. if you go up to the 16 inch that is what 156 00:11:21,959 --> 00:11:28,860 you can get I'm sure this thing right here again okay this one's a little bit 157 00:11:26,339 --> 00:11:33,360 more flexible it's not too bad it feels like the same key switches a a minus 158 00:11:31,380 --> 00:11:37,200 somewhere around there what's really cool though 159 00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:43,140 look look at this look at this so this is the new pen for the Creator 160 00:11:40,220 --> 00:11:47,100 z17 and watch I can just write something here 161 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,560 because this tip is graphite but then I 162 00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:54,360 can also come over to the laptop and still write things they currently 163 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,600 don't know how much graphite tips will be when this one runs out but they did 164 00:11:56,220 --> 00:12:03,360 say that there's a plastic one that's also included so yeah I think it should 165 00:12:01,019 --> 00:12:06,779 be what like three bucks four bucks for a couple of them they say it'll last 166 00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:10,200 three years but uh we can see how much it's worn down just from today so 167 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,800 uh there is one fatal flaw of the pen 168 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,360 though look look at this this is It's magnetic guess where it Clips on 169 00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:24,779 go anywhere else guys nothing anyway 170 00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:33,240 fortunately the rest of it is fantastic so
