1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960
those are famous

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:09,440
stop MSI's gaming laptops have always been exceptional at gaming but you know

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:13,440
what they haven't been good at getting expense to your work they hope to change

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,920
this by instead of it looking like lucky on pride day it being you know

5
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:31,439
like this thanks to MSI for sponsoring this video we have another one too but

6
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:36,719
we're looking at the gs77 first you're uh the box it looks fancy there's a

7
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,320
gloss black dragon oh he just wants us to know that we have

8
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,239
a warranty actually we probably don't because MSI sent this to us but you know

9
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:49,440
you would if you bought it quick guy let me guess plug it in turn it on

10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,160
balls that was the brick that's fine connect

11
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,239
to ac power power on the notebook nailed it

12
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:03,600
let's have a look at the charger it's not usb-c this thing's way too

13
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:05,360
powerful for it to be usb-c 240 watts

14
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,280
that's not quite as much as i expected but this is also not quite as much

15
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:12,880
laptop as i expected given the spec sheet okay let's take a look at the i o

16
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:17,280
is that a oh cool so that right there looks like a webcam

17
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:22,640
enable disable like a hard switch for it that's nice headphone microphone combo

18
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,600
3.5 millimeter two usb type a's around

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:29,119
back we have an HDMI 2.1 love to see that and gigabit Ethernet i kind of wish

20
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:34,640
it was 2.5 but oh it's 2.5 hell yeah never mind it's

21
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,040
2.5 love to see it thank you MSI and on

22
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:42,240
the right side we have a Thunderbolt port a usb type-c with displayport and a

23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,479
full size sd card reader i hope that's a fast one because that is wicked if you

24
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,680
want to be doing like photo editing and stuff like that we'll take it apart

25
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,799
later but you can see that just all of here and there and there and around

26
00:01:52,079 --> 00:02:00,880
there it's all heatsinks okay let's open her up here my first comment MSI's build

27
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,119
quality has just increased so much in the last couple of years i am genuinely

28
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:09,440
impressed how long ago was that we looked at like the ge

29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:15,120
66 i think that's the one and it was just a floppy like you pressed here and

30
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:18,720
the whole thing would just bow it's so solid they have done such a good job at

31
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:24,640
improving the build quality on their laptops oh yeah we need power this thing

32
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,160
may have a 99.9 watt hour battery but i

33
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:30,959
can guarantee you you need to plug it in if you're gonna do much which to be

34
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,959
clear not MSI's fault just like physics

35
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:36,160
and how many watts it consumes loads of ways to log in here you've got facial

36
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:40,000
recognition you've also got a fingerprint reader wow if i'm honest

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,280
this webcam is not nearly as bad as i expected is it

38
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,040
shifting at all the reason that i checked that is that Windows hello

39
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:51,680
facial recognition needs to use an ir camera if you look very closely here i

40
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:56,160
don't know if you can even see it um let's go right about there it looks like

41
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:00,239
we have an ir camera there the actual camera for like your webcam right there

42
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,400
the fact that they aren't combined is wicked because if you have an ir camera

43
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,280
and you use it as a normal camera you don't have an ir filter and everything

44
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,319
just looks weird and they'll be like blotchiness and purple shifting and

45
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:16,879
stuff love that they did the right way so we have an Intel core i7 12700h

46
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,319
that's 14 cores i think that's is that six performance cores

47
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:27,440
nailed it up to 4.9 on that one for the memory we have

48
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:30,239
32 gigabytes of 4800 mega transfers per

49
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:34,959
second must be ddr5 then we also have a one terabyte micron SSD

50
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,519
also iris xe graphics you won't use them because you have an rtx 3070 ti the

51
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:44,480
screen on this laptop is the absolute star of the show it's 1440p 240 hertz

52
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,200
that is just perfect it also has a 100 coverage of dc

53
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,680
ip3 so it's nice and color accurate as well you can use it for photo editing

54
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,640
and whatnot well Windows update's there we have another laptop

55
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:06,640
all right i wonder if this one has the same charger oh no it's bigger 280 watts oh

56
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,879
is this one a chunky boy oh it's still pretty stealthy though i'm surprised

57
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:15,120
yeah this one will raise a lot more questions

58
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,680
oh yeah damn you can really see those heat pipes this thing is either going to

59
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:24,560
be very quiet or very loud maybe both don't do it don't do it don't

60
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:28,240
do what this oh

61
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:31,759
it mentions very specifically in our notes that the MSI logo is black to make

62
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:37,440
sure that we show it well on camera so there you go MSI you have headphone microphone combo

63
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:43,040
it's gold so i imagine it's a very expensive dac we also have usb type c

64
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:49,120
with displayport usb type a around back

65
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:52,160
we have HDMI Ethernet 2.1 2.5 yeah 2.5

66
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,400
wicket we have two usb type a ports

67
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,800
is there one over here okay good well here it still is quite good but

68
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,120
it's not quite the same as the stealth that we have over here it's also considerably

69
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,440
less expensive so there you go apparently it has a 360 hertz display

70
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:14,160
though that must be 1080p oh this was an i9 as well damn i think we need some

71
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,759
hand loop for this one look listen like

72
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,000
my finger's sticking to it but i think we can fix it just get some hand gunk on

73
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:25,120
there yeah official ShortCircuit hand lube

74
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,000
she's lubed up tracking nice and smooth

75
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,000
it's a real thing

76
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,840
is our cheaper laptop more powerful that would be kind of funny 12 900h

77
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:41,919
processors faster and a 3070 ti so

78
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:45,039
maybe the same maximum is a 30 80. this

79
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:46,320
one have ddr4 3200 mega transfers per

80
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:50,080
second they might have cheaped out on the motherboard and that would explain

81
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,800
the price difference between the two so even though we have technically slower

82
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:59,840
processor in the stealth the better motherboard and RAM might make up for

83
00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:06,880
that difference okay which one do you guys think is faster ddr5 versus 12 900

84
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:10,160
h e05 ddr5 yeah i think so too

85
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,479
12 900 h horse is getting in here too

86
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,080
one very important thing before we start here there we go

87
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,400
turbo mode oh wait does this one not have a turbo mode there we go

88
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,639
performance mode so what do we think gp66

89
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:27,360
gs77 77 77 all right i'm going with the gp66

90
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,919
just to be different then even though i think i'm wrong we're doing this on extreme i even increased the

91
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,440
anti-aliasing because that just makes for the horizon 5 look better and start

92
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:43,600
ah frank we have to optimize well if optimization is anything to go off of uh

93
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,960
the gs77 is in the lead probably because

94
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,000
faster memory which one's gonna get in first

95
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:50,800
gs77 won the optimization battle will it

96
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:59,360
win the gaming battle it says we're getting 77 FPS's versus 83 wha

97
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:05,680
one thing that we aren't balancing for right now is the fact that the gp66

98
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:07,759
is way louder i cannot hear the stealth

99
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:13,919
you can probably barely hear me over this thing it is going a lot faster

100
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:16,800
though all right 79 FPS on extreme with

101
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:19,440
custom settings higher than extreme i think this one's gonna be a little bit

102
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:26,160
more 83 oh damn

103
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,160
the small thick bow is faster okay i win

104
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:34,319
turns out that a 12900h with ddr4 is

105
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:36,000
faster than a 12 700h with ddr5 not a

106
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:41,759
perfect test because this one's also way louder those are famously

107
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:44,879
stop stop stop this stop we're doing

108
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:47,520
tech links it's tackling time do it time

109
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:50,319
to stop correctly go get it give me that marker back no i'm not

110
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,520
giving you the marker back you threw it at me okay good

111
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:58,000
get out of here okay re-ran the tests in just you know

112
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:06,000
ultra settings instead of extreme and same basic result the gs77 got 91 FPS

113
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:07,599
the gp66 got 96. the reason though is a

114
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:14,560
little bit interesting if you look a little bit closely here the CPU

115
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:19,680
on the gs76 was a little bit faster in

116
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:21,520
every way but the GPU in the gp66

117
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:27,479
was a little bit faster in every way that's cool because it tells us that the

118
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:31,599
12700h with ddr5 is faster than the

119
00:08:27,479 --> 00:08:34,880
12900h with ddr4 it also tells us that

120
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:38,320
if your GPU has 150 watts of power like

121
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,479
this one it's faster than 105 watts who

122
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:45,600
would have thought this is also why buying a laptop is really hard

123
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:50,640
because you can have situations where a CPU that should be faster is slower

124
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,440
because of the RAM and even though this one's a 17-inch and this one's a 15-inch

125
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,080
this one has more graphics power it's it's a mess but now we know between

126
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:03,120
these two yeah that's why you watch our videos that's why we're creating Labs either

127
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:08,640
way though when you compare this to other 30-70 ti laptops that i have used

128
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,399
before the results are right in line

129
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:15,120
with the fastest other laptops on the market make sense we're going to put the

130
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:19,519
gp66 away for a bit i'm sure the 360 hertz display is wicked and amazing but

131
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:25,920
i'm good yeah this is the laptop that i would want purely because of the trackpad it's

132
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,880
bigger and just feels way better this is an absolutely acceptable keyboard the

133
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:37,760
key stabilization is fine and the key travel and feel is also

134
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:41,040
perfectly acceptable i would give this maybe like an a minus something like

135
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,519
that surprisingly these are not the same keyboard they actually appear to have

136
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:51,120
different switches now the ones on the gp66 i think it has a little bit more

137
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:55,760
travel which makes sense they have a lot more room but that said the key

138
00:09:53,279 --> 00:10:01,680
stabilization isn't quite as good i'd say it's about a draw between the two a

139
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:04,800
minus a minus so empirically this laptop

140
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:07,600
is very good for gaming and subjectively

141
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:13,440
it is also very good at gaming like i said before 1440p 240 hertz is

142
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,880
completely incredible and as long as you're not looking away from the road

143
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,360
you can avoid like hitting someone that comes up to you hey Linus new video idea

144
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:24,480
i get a c8 corvette that's it

145
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:29,360
oh i don't know if i mentioned this before but the screen also is 400 nits

146
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:32,880
and you can really tell that in horizon 5 when there's like the sun bouncing off

147
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,279
of the road and stuff it just looks fantastic i would say that this meets

148
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:44,720
the bare minimum spec on a laptop at least of having like an HDR experience

149
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,240
because like 400 nits on a tv is trash

150
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:51,040
it's not good at all but when you're sitting like this far away from a laptop

151
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:55,760
400 nits when it's like well done like this one is is enough to get an actual

152
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:59,440
HDR experience it's not incredible like it's not a thousand nits but when you're

153
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:03,120
this close a thousand it's actually burns your eyes like if you have a white

154
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:06,560
screen it hurts is MSI is the first one that had the uh yeah they have a mini

155
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,399
led display it's not in this but if you really want

156
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:14,160
an HDR experience on a laptop MSI has you covered there unsurprisingly is

157
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:18,560
laptops great at gaming who would have thought is it good at crab brave though

158
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,839
that's all i need to hear these ones are worse

159
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,920
oh okay mute

160
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,720
play three

161
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:37,200
okay that speakers in the vector

162
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:40,560
not so good changing to the gs77

163
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,839
night and day

164
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:56,399
yeah i don't need to hear anymore the stealth gs77

165
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,079
just absolutely blows the vector out of

166
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:03,519
the water when it comes to speaker quality in here we have six two watt speakers so

167
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:07,760
you can see the two that are up firing right there that helps a lot with treble

168
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:12,079
that adds just so much clarity when you don't have it bouncing off of things as

169
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,839
for the vector it has two two watt speakers and they're not firing at you

170
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,079
which means that the clarity is just completely ruined are you going apart

171
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:23,279
now yeah i want to take them apart cool they're doing the thing that alienware's

172
00:12:21,839 --> 00:12:27,600
been doing for a little while now where they tell you exactly what screw it is

173
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:34,639
on the screw holes i don't know if you can read it right there but it says m 2.5 by 3.5 millimeters awesome oh there

174
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,040
we go i'm in

175
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:43,360
oh it did take a little bit of screwing around with the guitar pick getting into

176
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:47,360
this thing was pretty easy just be sure that you use something like the ifixit

177
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,560
tray to put all of your screws back in the right spot some of them are real

178
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:57,040
long some of them are not if you put it in the wrong hole you'll have a real bad time trust me what happens is your screw

179
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:02,000
goes through the chassis it's a terrible time the bottom is a bit aluminum and

180
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:06,800
some plastic as well once you're in here the upgrade ability looks fantastic so

181
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:10,880
we have our one SSD in here there's another spot for a second SSD if you

182
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,440
want to upgrade your storage as for the RAM

183
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:18,880
there we go 16 gigabytes 4 800 megahertz there's

184
00:13:16,959 --> 00:13:23,680
also super easy access to the battery like i said before 99.9 watt hours it's

185
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:27,519
as much as you can put in this laptop and still take it on a plane i have no

186
00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:32,160
clue how long the battery is going to last it's going to be dependent on so

187
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:37,040
many things like if you turn down the refresh rate and don't use the GPU and

188
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:41,839
stuff you might be able to get a not embarrassing amount of time out of it if

189
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:45,760
you try and game like it'll be nothing you you'll be down in half an hour

190
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:49,839
the heat pipe array in here is quite impressive we have what one two three

191
00:13:48,959 --> 00:13:55,440
four five six including vrm coolers love to

192
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:59,519
see that on the CPU they're so power hungry these days we also have nice big

193
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:04,720
heatsinks like you can see the way if they go out here those ones aren't too

194
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,800
thick the ones on the sides are a little bit thicker

195
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:13,760
let's compare it to its sister laptop i'm excited to see the cooling system in

196
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:17,240
this one 150 watts is a lot for a GPU at

197
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,240
least a laptop

198
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:22,480
okay there we go that did it

199
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:28,800
damn that's pretty i know that in a lot of laptops like you know the stealth

200
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:32,639
right here will make the heat pipes black i absolutely love it when they

201
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:38,000
just leave it as bare copper it looks so pretty and like damn damn

202
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,120
that right there is how you get 150 watts out of your GPU i'm not even going

203
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:47,040
to touch it i don't want to make it look bad we also have again super easy access

204
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:51,440
to your SSD there's one there's a spot for another one and there's a RAM

205
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:58,560
also the heatsinks on this guy are massive look at those things there i

206
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:03,199
don't know if you can really tell there it's quite a bit more cooling one final

207
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:08,320
difference and this one's very important in the vector you only get a 65 watt

208
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:12,399
hour battery again i don't know how long that's going to last you i haven't

209
00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:16,639
tested it personally but it's gonna be a lot less than the 99 watt hour in the

210
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,880
stealth that is for sure which one would you guys want do you want the super

211
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:25,040
powerful one that also is cheaper or do you want the one with the nice track pad

212
00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:29,199
and the really pretty display let me know down below and huge thanks to MSI
