WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.279
so as a followup to our video showing some of the top gaming desktops that we

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:09.960
saw at CES 2015 we wanted to do a top

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:15.200
gaming notebooks one because actually I feel like some of the amazing notebook

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:20.080
technology that we saw this week is even better than what we saw on the desktop

00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:21.720
so uh without further Ado here we go

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:27.039
could this be one of our top gaming laptops of CES this year is this even a

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:36.040
laptop I mean this thing weighs what 4.7 kg it's got a massive 18.4 in 1080p

00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:38.320
display and it is big like oh look at it

00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:44.160
it is thick look at this thing this is the gt80 Titan SLI and this is a whole

00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:51.280
new concept as far as gaming laptops are concerned it's got a core i7 4980 HQ

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:53.640
processor dual NVIDIA GTX 980m 8 gig

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:58.120
graphics cards did I mention that MSI is committing to offer mxm upgrade modules

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:03.039
for at least two generations that are compatible with this as well as a

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:05.519
cooling solution it supports up to four

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:11.799
DDR3 modules for a total of 32 gigs of RAM up to four m.2 SATA ssds in raid

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:15.960
zero in addition to a 2 and 1 half inch hard drive it's got their killer

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:22.079
networking so it's got 2x2 AC as well as wired networking it's got a 1080p webcam

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.560
but the real killer app for this one is aside from the upgradeability so you can

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:31.040
actually access all those components I was talking about before the optical

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:32.479
drive for m. MSA m.2 as well as two of

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.880
the dims the other two are on the bottom and the 2 and 1/2 in Drive aside from

00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:41.880
upgradeability it is this guy right here this is a Cherry MX Brown mechanical

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:47.119
gaming keyboard built right into this notebook and what is a true Marvel about

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:51.719
this is it actually maintains the same profile off the desk as a regular

00:01:49.479 --> 00:01:55.280
mechanical gaming keyboard is this the most practical thing ever would it make

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:00.360
more sense to carry around a mechanical gaming keyboard with you whenever you had to travel with your system I will

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:05.600
leave that up to you guys but is definitely a oneof a-kind piece of

00:02:03.039 --> 00:02:10.679
machinery and something that will appeal to some folks out there I know this for

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:14.959
a fact continuing our tour of the top gaming notebooks of CES 2015 out of

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:20.120
everything that Gigabyte had on display this is the one that really stood out to

00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:25.280
me not only does it have a core i7 quad core processor and it's you know got

00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:30.840
this extremely slim form factor great mix of IO with four USB 3 ports dual

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:34.640
HDMI mini DisplayPort out it's got a glass touch pad it's got actually a

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:39.840
fairly nice chicklet keyboard with a full number pad and macro Keys over on

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:46.879
the left it's got a 3K or optionally a 4K nonn that's an EXO display on top of

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:52.200
all that stuff .9 in thin it's got

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:54.920
GeForce GTX 965m graphics cards in SLI

00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:58.400
yes this is a dual GPU SLI notebook in an extremely slim form factor and it

00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:03.920
packs a bunch of other stuff in there too instead of compromising the way that we see thin and light gaming notebooks

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:08.640
do a lot of the time it doesn't have any limitations in terms of storage you've

00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:10.680
got up to three m.2 ssds supported along

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:15.640
with a 2 and 1 half in hard drive and it doesn't compromise on memory with up to

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:20.519
four DDR3 sodium supported for a total of 32 gigs of RAM our next notebook is a

00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:26.040
little bit of an unusual one yeah it features a core i7 quad core 4870hq

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:32.159
processor yeah it's got 16 gigs of RAM it can hold up to two ssds and raid zero

00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:35.640
13.3 in IPS display backlit chicklet

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.920
keyboard beautiful super slim

00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:43.560
lightweight design and Iris Graphics well hold on a second

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.879
lonus that doesn't sound like much of a gaming notebook well the real magic for

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.959
this one happens in the box underneath it at the back of this notebook is a

00:03:50.120 --> 00:04:00.920
little flap that covers a full PCI Express 16x slot PCI Express 16x gen 3

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:03.480
so this is desktop class connectivity to

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:09.120
this box down below that not only has additional USB as well as killer

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:15.159
Ethernet and audio ports but also a cooling fan a 450 W power supply and

00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:17.040
room for any desktop graphics card you

00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:22.639
could pretty much want MSI is saying you'll have support for any MSI GPU and

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:28.400
any reference GPU from either NVIDIA or AMD and all you got to do is power down

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:30.759
the system slide it into this locking

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:35.800
dock right here power power it back up and boom you are outputting from what

00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:37.360
they've got in here is a GTX uh 980 if I

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:41.680
recall correctly you output to an external Monitor and you are having a

00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:45.360
desktop grade gaming experience except when you want to pick it up and be on

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.960
the go and then you have a super lightweight

00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:54.440
notebook did I mention it's called The gs30 Shadow I don't think I did but

00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:58.759
that's what it's called so we found our next sick gaming notebook in the Intel

00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:03.160
performance notebook Suite I mean imagine finding some high performance

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:08.240
notebooks there this is the HP Omen 15 so it's a 15.6 in 1080P model with a

00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:12.320
full 10-point multi-touch touch screen for me personally that is something that

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:19.120
I do really appreciate it's got a core I 7471 HQ it's got a GeForce GTX 86m SSD

00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:24.720
uh I think this particular one has 8 gigs of RAM and okay so those specs

00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:31.360
don't sound really that amazing for me this one is more about the look aside

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:33.560
from the very stri in material choices

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:38.759
that HP has made for this one with the textured back cover as well as the sort

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.840
of the angular shape to the way that it sits on the desk you've actually got

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:46.960
this is kind of cool lights that illuminate in the surprisingly loud and

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:52.479
clear speakers along the right hand edges you've got a red back lit keyboard

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.960
a super like Mega wide touchpad that is

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:59.759
incredibly pleasing to use and then on the bottom itself let's go ahead and

00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:04.440
close this bad boy you've got basically an entirely perforated surface along the

00:06:02.840 --> 00:06:08.280
entire back of the notebook that keeps it nice and cool it's got a rubber ring

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:11.840
around the bottom so it doesn't slip around when you're using it on your desk

00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:15.919
and this is actually something that I appreciate more than maybe even more

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:21.280
than I should so there's two rear exhaust vents at the back in addition to

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:23.319
power in four USB 3.0 ports HDMI out

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:29.960
mini DisplayPort out and a headphone jack I really like having IO at the rear

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:34.160
I find so many notebook makers put iio on the right especially USB ports like

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:37.560
if they're only on the right then I find they get in the way of your mouse hand

00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.759
if you want to actually game with the thing by plugging in a mouse for HP the

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:46.479
only thing on the right hand side is an SD card slot and other than that it is

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:50.520
completely clean around the outside of the notebook now this little number

00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:56.440
right here is a pretty normal looking gaming notebook it's got a 15.6 in 1080P

00:06:53.479 --> 00:07:04.160
display it's got an Intel Core i7 4710 HQ processor that's a quad core it's got

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:06.360
a GeForce GTX 970m or an R9 295 XM in

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:11.160
there for the GPU up to 16 gigs of RAM an m.2 SSD for storage along with a 2

00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.840
and 1 half in hard drive and a pretty typical I/O configuration some lighting

00:07:13.400 --> 00:07:20.319
effects it's not like hyper thin or anything like that

00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:22.879
say at the back that's not a standard

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:27.080
looking IO thing that is a port for alien wear's Graphics amplifier the box

00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:30.440
that's sitting right next to it so what this does is it's a proprietary

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:36.000
connector that that features a PCI Express gen 3 Forex link as well as some

00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:41.199
other Tom Foolery to give your notebook both expanded iio so additional USB

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:49.240
ports I'm pretty sure that's the only thing they got back here yeah some additional USB ports as well as a full

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.960
PCI Express 16x graphics card slot

00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:55.680
inside the box that is powered by a 375 wat power supply so the demo they're

00:07:53.960 --> 00:08:02.879
running right here actually has this notebook running Shadow of Mordor with a

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:05.599
GTX 9 80 desktop graphics card powering

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:10.560
this 4K display and running through the system so the system is only acting as

00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:15.159
CPU memory storage actually everything except the GPU where this one takes over

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:20.440
for whatever mobile GPU would normally have in the laptop well I hope you guys
