welcome to PAX East 2017 and welcome to
the Intel Booth we are going to check out the top three laptops and we have
some special ones here also thank you to Intel who brought us here to paxis 2017
check out unlocked. newegg.com for some special deals on processors while
supplies last first off we're going to check out the biggest heaviest most
ridiculous laptop even though it probably shouldn't be allowed to be
called that that I have personally ever seen it has a curved 2560 x 1080 screen
it is IPS has 120 HZ display and it's
just nuts below that display it has a full trmx Brown mechanical keyboard the
same that you would have on a desktop and on the right hand side there's a
touchpad where you can flip it over and get a number pad as well inside it has
an Intel Core i7 7820 HK two GTX 1080s
in SLI 64 gigs of RAM a 1 tbte raate
zero of NVMe drives and a 1 tbte hard
drive this is why it needs its five fans and nine internal heat pipes the cooling
on this thing is insane and it follows that up with giant exhaust ports in the
back between those exhaust ports in the back you have two power inss for two
different Power bricks that are both 330 wats Thunderbolt 3 gbit Ethernet two
DisplayPort 1.2 ports and HDMI 2.0 on
the right hand side you have dual USB 3.0 and a Kensington lock and then on
the left hand side you have another dual USB 3.0 a headphone and microphone Jack
and an SD card reader and all of that will cost you only a
meager $9,000 which is over four times the
price of my first car which is just absolutely ridiculous uh they don't have
any different spec levels for this laptop you can't get less RAM or lower
storage to make it cheaper but as lonus has said in the past I wouldn't even
expect them to if you're going to spend $99,000 on a laptop I wouldn't expect
you to be super worried about going down to 85,000 in order to save a few bucks
on a few extra specs this thing is ridiculous no one expects to buy it so
the next laptop is going to be a little bit more reasonable next up we have an orus X7
version 7 this one is still a blazing fast laptop with an Intel Core i7
7820hk 16 gigs of RAM that can go up to
64 if you want to do some upgrading and an NVIDIA GTX 1078 gig with g-sync it
has two 256 GB NVMe drives one 1 TB hard
drive and a 1440p screen running at 120
HZ with a 5 millisecond delay below that you have a fully RGB
keyboard with five macro keys on the left hand side and you have two 2W
speakers and two two WT subwoofers also in the unit on the left hand side you
have a headphone and microphone Jack USB 3.0 type a and a fullsize Ethernet port
on the back you have USB 3.0 power in and a light up logo on the back of the
screen and then on the right hand side you have an SD card reader a USB 3 2.0
port a USB 3.1 type-c port HDMI 2.0 and
a mini DisplayPort the fans in this unit pull air in from the top and then
exhaust air out the back and out the sides of the unit so that they don't
heat your hands up which is actually pretty cool and then to cap it off you
have a 9424 w hour battery which should be able to keep you going for a fairly
reasonable amount of time I think this laptop makes a little bit more sense
it's really high performance but it's a little bit more reasonable in the weight
department and a little bit more reasonable in the price Department although it is still very much a premium
gaming laptop and last but not least we have the MSI gs43 VR Phantom Pro this is
toted as the lightest VR ready laptop and VR ready actually makes sense here
when they call like ssds VR ready and stuff it carries no weight but a laptop
VR ready cool I'm down with that it weighs 1.8 kg which is slightly less
than 4 lb and it is only 21.8 mm thick
which is a fair amount less than 1 in thick on the inside you have an Intel
Core i77700 HQ which boosts up to 3.8
GHz and a GTX 1066 GB this version has
16 GB of RAM but can expand up to 32 GB
if you want to do that on your own and it has a 128 GB NVMe drive along with a
1 TB hard drive you got a 1080p webcam two 2 W speakers and a 61w hour battery
which is pretty all right especially for how thin and light this laptop is on the
le- hand side you have a Kensington lock slot fulls siiz Ethernet an SD card slot
3 USB 3.0 ports and a headphone and microphone Jack on the right hand side
you have USB 3.0 Thunderbolt HDMI 2.0
mini DisplayPort and Power in so we had
the full range we had the Juggernaut really heavy really powerful really
ridiculous really expensive then we have the one in the middle really fast very
high refresh rate screen but a reasonable weight and a slightly more
reasonable price then we went down a little bit more it's thinner it's really
light doesn't weigh very much but still high enough performance to do VR and
really easy to tote around hopefully you liked our top three at the Intel booth
