WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.759
we're here at CES 2023 in MSI's booth

00:00:03.179 --> 00:00:10.260
and we have 10 laptops to look at and shockingly none of them are trash how

00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:13.980
did you do it MSI first of all stealth 14 Studio which we'll tell you

00:00:12.540 --> 00:00:17.340
about after this word from our sponsor thanks to Acer for sponsoring this video

00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:20.699
they've been working on their earthian initiative to be as sustainable as they

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

00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:30.539
freaking sick it is so rare that you get 14 inch laptops that are actually good

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

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:38.040
heck yeah this also has a 13700h but the

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.840
most surprising thing is that it's really well built this thing has a

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:46.079
magnesium chassis and only weighs 3.7

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:48.600
pounds look at this Andy it's like well

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:52.800
built I'm genuinely shocked guys sorry it's not magnesium they're telling

00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:59.000
me that it's magnesium aluminum alloy very important to get that correct also

00:00:55.260 --> 00:00:59.000
important how is the keyboard

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:05.760
it's fine it's what like maybe an A minus somewhere around there you guys

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

00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:16.200
comes with up to a Quad HD 16 by 10

00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:18.240
display that's 240 hertz that is so

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:21.720
awesome on something like this it is just really impressive that it's a

00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:26.340
gaming laptop that you can just Chuck in your backpack and just go off and do

00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:30.180
whatever what also is impressive is the amount of battery life of this thing I'm

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

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

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

00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:49.259
is hecking impressive also of course they have a big old Vapor chamber here

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:54.299
to keep everything cool and replaceable memory this stuff goes up to 5200 Mega

00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:58.020
transfers per second and that's the fastest that I've ever seen in a gaming

00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:02.700
laptop that has replaceable memory well until the next one that we see that 56.

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.540
up next is the stealth 16 and they say that they have vastly improved the

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

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

00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:17.180
more speakers

00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:25.200
but here we are six speaker Dyna audio

00:02:22.620 --> 00:02:29.720
seems pretty good it actually it actually does stage pretty well like it

00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:29.720
gets pretty wide

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

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.220
and the lights better sorry guys

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:56.160
they look so unimpressed the absolute best part is now they have to hold it

00:02:54.780 --> 00:03:00.360
for a prompter thank you very much what's fortunate though is that if

00:02:58.980 --> 00:03:04.860
you're not fully satisfied with those speakers though you're able to pair a

00:03:02.220 --> 00:03:08.400
second Bluetooth speaker as like rear fill surround it's actually super cool

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

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:17.580
so weird because it does actually process

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

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:26.760
here in the software like there's laptop there's the Bose speaker you can even

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:28.920
program in the rear delay that's a really cool way to use Bluetooth

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:31.040
speakers thank you

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.780
oh there's a sport Atmos nice

00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:42.840
aside from the speakers this is also just a very good feeling laptop again

00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:46.040
magnesium aluminum alloy chassis and uh

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.040
let's see how the keyboard is

00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:58.920
it once again is aggressively fine and of course this thing has all of the

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

00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:09.959
TDP now I just want to get really mad at

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

00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:20.699
can be down to 35 Watts that is just unacceptable guys why would you do that

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.100
anyway moving on next up is something that I was not expecting to see here

00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:31.860
though this right here is the Raider ge78hx with their smart touch pad look

00:04:29.340 --> 00:04:38.340
at this where is it where's the touchpad I don't see anything well

00:04:34.740 --> 00:04:40.139
look at that all of this right here is

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

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:48.240
just a large touch pad where you're able to have programmable macros here on the

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:51.180
right as well so you can you know use your touchpad for actual useful things

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:55.740
instead of just turning it off when you're gaming with a dedicated Mouse

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

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:07.139
this thing was six and a half pounds

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:11.040
6.8 pounds of absolute gaming chunk this

00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:12.419
right here is the ge78 Raider HX which

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

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

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

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:29.900
kind of like the ionic five of course the specs of this thing are absolutely

00:05:26.820 --> 00:05:34.340
Bonkers so you get up to a core I9 13

00:05:29.900 --> 00:05:39.539
980 HX terrible name Intel excellent CPU

00:05:34.340 --> 00:05:42.660
24 cores in a laptop that go up to 5.6

00:05:39.539 --> 00:05:44.820
gigahertz that is freaking crazy not

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:49.800
only that but the memory is replaceable and it's 5600 Mega transfers per second

00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:53.880
how the heck did they do that that's like outside of the sodium standard I

00:05:52.020 --> 00:05:58.500
think of course this has the beefiest mobile GPU that you can get so that's

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:04.620
the 4090 that's what 16 gigabytes of vram

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:08.520
and that's 175 watt TDP the total TDP of

00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:09.960
this thing is 250 Watts even though they

00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:15.240
have the largest battery that you can legally put on a plane 99 Watt hours in

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:18.500
here that's what like one two hours

00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.500
battery life something like that

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:26.280
one and a half they're saying yep oh no engineering sample sorry it's

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

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:33.060
does say is that this right here is one

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.199
heck of a heatsink look at all of that copper right there it's just beautiful

00:06:34.699 --> 00:06:41.699
and look at how big these heat sinks are it goes all the way

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

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

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

00:06:54.419 --> 00:07:02.639
copper is it painted on the inside nope wonderful absolutely love it but I know

00:06:59.460 --> 00:07:05.639
what you all are thinking 6.8 pounds

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:07.680
that's all the MSI has no

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:13.860
here we have the Titan and this one's 7.2 oh my God

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:16.560
what a ridiculous machine this is it has

00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:21.560
Cherry MX switches which actually feel really good let's just uh have a little

00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:21.560
typey type here

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

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:33.840
keyboard on a laptop because well it's mechanical Cherry switches and all that

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

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

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:47.940
conscious this right here is what you want this right here is the cyborg 15

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

00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:56.880
50 but that still is pretty good and even though this whole thing is made out

00:07:55.020 --> 00:08:00.900
of plastic well this right here is aluminum but that doesn't really count

00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:06.599
it feels really good like look at this I'm gonna just push on it here

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

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:16.139
an LG gram or something this one right here not a single problem and more good

00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:18.960
news the keyboard is no better or no worse than they're much more expensive

00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:23.639
stealth lineup so a minus maybe somewhere around there

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

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

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

00:08:34.380 --> 00:08:40.200
you're probably not going to be pushing 4K anyway I really want to get this

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

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

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:52.740
still probably do that we'll need to get this into our lab everybody knows that

00:08:50.459 --> 00:08:57.180
MSI has heaps of gaming laptops though what really impressed me here is the way

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

00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:05.100
just 2.2 pounds which is the same as an

00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:10.019
LG gram but shockingly it doesn't feel like a wet noodle again just MSI you

00:09:08.339 --> 00:09:13.339
made laptops that don't flex all over the place I'm so impressed

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

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

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:31.860
nits and what I really appreciate is that they haven't taken the bezels right

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:36.779
down to nothing this is fantastic because I can actually put my hands on

00:09:34.380 --> 00:09:41.100
it so many 13-inch devices it's just kind of like

00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:42.899
that because they took so much time to

00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:48.779
make this super small and the whole device sort of does not benefit from

00:09:45.420 --> 00:09:52.380
that also the real fantastic thing about

00:09:48.779 --> 00:09:55.260
this is the battery somehow they have

00:09:52.380 --> 00:10:00.540
fit a 75 watt hour battery into this thing giving you an actual 15 hours of

00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:04.440
battery life it's a genuinely good guys

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

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

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:19.500
never mind well half points for that wait

00:10:17.339 --> 00:10:23.580
oh there's a headphone jack geez I almost thought they dealt us there for a

00:10:21.060 --> 00:10:28.320
second fantastic work guys and also full size type a and a Micro SD card reader

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

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

00:10:35.459 --> 00:10:42.060
so that gives you four performance cores eight efficiency cores and something

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

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:50.160
something like the 13 plus because uh well this right here is what you get for

00:10:47.640 --> 00:10:54.180
cooling but at the same time that's a lot better than something like the HP

00:10:51.660 --> 00:10:58.800
dragonfly Elite that only gets the U if you want a slightly larger Creator

00:10:55.800 --> 00:11:01.740
laptop we have the prestige 14 Evo and

00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:07.019
the CPU in this is very strange so it's the i7

00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:09.480
13620h weird name weird CPU so you get

00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:15.180
six performance cores and four efficiency cores so half the efficiency

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:19.740
cores of the 13 but I don't know sure maybe someone wants that well you

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

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

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

00:11:31.380 --> 00:11:37.200
somewhere around there what's really cool though

00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:43.140
look look at this look at this so this is the new pen for the Creator

00:11:40.220 --> 00:11:47.100
z17 and watch I can just write something here

00:11:44.040 --> 00:11:49.560
because this tip is graphite but then I

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:54.360
can also come over to the laptop and still write things they currently

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

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

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

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

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.800
uh there is one fatal flaw of the pen

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:17.360
though look look at this this is It's magnetic guess where it Clips on

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:24.779
go anywhere else guys nothing anyway

00:12:22.680 --> 00:12:33.240
fortunately the rest of it is fantastic so this has a Quad HD display the 16 by

00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:35.760
10 version and it's 165 Hertz that is so

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:42.720
good for something like this also we have a RTX 4070 in here with a 90 watt

00:12:39.959 --> 00:12:47.160
TDP look at this Vapor chamber they have for it overall though I'm super

00:12:44.760 --> 00:12:52.079
impressed like they have actual laptops that aren't floppy it's fantastic
