those are famous
stop MSI's gaming laptops have always been exceptional at gaming but you know
what they haven't been good at getting expense to your work they hope to change
this by instead of it looking like lucky on pride day it being you know
like this thanks to MSI for sponsoring this video we have another one too but
we're looking at the gs77 first you're uh the box it looks fancy there's a
gloss black dragon oh he just wants us to know that we have
a warranty actually we probably don't because MSI sent this to us but you know
you would if you bought it quick guy let me guess plug it in turn it on
balls that was the brick that's fine connect
to ac power power on the notebook nailed it
let's have a look at the charger it's not usb-c this thing's way too
powerful for it to be usb-c 240 watts
that's not quite as much as i expected but this is also not quite as much
laptop as i expected given the spec sheet okay let's take a look at the i o
is that a oh cool so that right there looks like a webcam
enable disable like a hard switch for it that's nice headphone microphone combo
3.5 millimeter two usb type a's around
back we have an HDMI 2.1 love to see that and gigabit Ethernet i kind of wish
it was 2.5 but oh it's 2.5 hell yeah never mind it's
2.5 love to see it thank you MSI and on
the right side we have a Thunderbolt port a usb type-c with displayport and a
full size sd card reader i hope that's a fast one because that is wicked if you
want to be doing like photo editing and stuff like that we'll take it apart
later but you can see that just all of here and there and there and around
there it's all heatsinks okay let's open her up here my first comment MSI's build
quality has just increased so much in the last couple of years i am genuinely
impressed how long ago was that we looked at like the ge
66 i think that's the one and it was just a floppy like you pressed here and
the whole thing would just bow it's so solid they have done such a good job at
improving the build quality on their laptops oh yeah we need power this thing
may have a 99.9 watt hour battery but i
can guarantee you you need to plug it in if you're gonna do much which to be
clear not MSI's fault just like physics
and how many watts it consumes loads of ways to log in here you've got facial
recognition you've also got a fingerprint reader wow if i'm honest
this webcam is not nearly as bad as i expected is it
shifting at all the reason that i checked that is that Windows hello
facial recognition needs to use an ir camera if you look very closely here i
don't know if you can even see it um let's go right about there it looks like
we have an ir camera there the actual camera for like your webcam right there
the fact that they aren't combined is wicked because if you have an ir camera
and you use it as a normal camera you don't have an ir filter and everything
just looks weird and they'll be like blotchiness and purple shifting and
stuff love that they did the right way so we have an Intel core i7 12700h
that's 14 cores i think that's is that six performance cores
nailed it up to 4.9 on that one for the memory we have
32 gigabytes of 4800 mega transfers per
second must be ddr5 then we also have a one terabyte micron SSD
also iris xe graphics you won't use them because you have an rtx 3070 ti the
screen on this laptop is the absolute star of the show it's 1440p 240 hertz
that is just perfect it also has a 100 coverage of dc
ip3 so it's nice and color accurate as well you can use it for photo editing
and whatnot well Windows update's there we have another laptop
all right i wonder if this one has the same charger oh no it's bigger 280 watts oh
is this one a chunky boy oh it's still pretty stealthy though i'm surprised
yeah this one will raise a lot more questions
oh yeah damn you can really see those heat pipes this thing is either going to
be very quiet or very loud maybe both don't do it don't do it don't
do what this oh
it mentions very specifically in our notes that the MSI logo is black to make
sure that we show it well on camera so there you go MSI you have headphone microphone combo
it's gold so i imagine it's a very expensive dac we also have usb type c
with displayport usb type a around back
we have HDMI Ethernet 2.1 2.5 yeah 2.5
wicket we have two usb type a ports
is there one over here okay good well here it still is quite good but
it's not quite the same as the stealth that we have over here it's also considerably
less expensive so there you go apparently it has a 360 hertz display
though that must be 1080p oh this was an i9 as well damn i think we need some
hand loop for this one look listen like
my finger's sticking to it but i think we can fix it just get some hand gunk on
there yeah official ShortCircuit hand lube
she's lubed up tracking nice and smooth
it's a real thing
is our cheaper laptop more powerful that would be kind of funny 12 900h
processors faster and a 3070 ti so
maybe the same maximum is a 30 80. this
one have ddr4 3200 mega transfers per
second they might have cheaped out on the motherboard and that would explain
the price difference between the two so even though we have technically slower
processor in the stealth the better motherboard and RAM might make up for
that difference okay which one do you guys think is faster ddr5 versus 12 900
h e05 ddr5 yeah i think so too
12 900 h horse is getting in here too
one very important thing before we start here there we go
turbo mode oh wait does this one not have a turbo mode there we go
performance mode so what do we think gp66
gs77 77 77 all right i'm going with the gp66
just to be different then even though i think i'm wrong we're doing this on extreme i even increased the
anti-aliasing because that just makes for the horizon 5 look better and start
ah frank we have to optimize well if optimization is anything to go off of uh
the gs77 is in the lead probably because
faster memory which one's gonna get in first
gs77 won the optimization battle will it
win the gaming battle it says we're getting 77 FPS's versus 83 wha
one thing that we aren't balancing for right now is the fact that the gp66
is way louder i cannot hear the stealth
you can probably barely hear me over this thing it is going a lot faster
though all right 79 FPS on extreme with
custom settings higher than extreme i think this one's gonna be a little bit
more 83 oh damn
the small thick bow is faster okay i win
turns out that a 12900h with ddr4 is
faster than a 12 700h with ddr5 not a
perfect test because this one's also way louder those are famously
stop stop stop this stop we're doing
tech links it's tackling time do it time
to stop correctly go get it give me that marker back no i'm not
giving you the marker back you threw it at me okay good
get out of here okay re-ran the tests in just you know
ultra settings instead of extreme and same basic result the gs77 got 91 FPS
the gp66 got 96. the reason though is a
little bit interesting if you look a little bit closely here the CPU
on the gs76 was a little bit faster in
every way but the GPU in the gp66
was a little bit faster in every way that's cool because it tells us that the
12700h with ddr5 is faster than the
12900h with ddr4 it also tells us that
if your GPU has 150 watts of power like
this one it's faster than 105 watts who
would have thought this is also why buying a laptop is really hard
because you can have situations where a CPU that should be faster is slower
because of the RAM and even though this one's a 17-inch and this one's a 15-inch
this one has more graphics power it's it's a mess but now we know between
these two yeah that's why you watch our videos that's why we're creating Labs either
way though when you compare this to other 30-70 ti laptops that i have used
before the results are right in line
with the fastest other laptops on the market make sense we're going to put the
gp66 away for a bit i'm sure the 360 hertz display is wicked and amazing but
i'm good yeah this is the laptop that i would want purely because of the trackpad it's
bigger and just feels way better this is an absolutely acceptable keyboard the
key stabilization is fine and the key travel and feel is also
perfectly acceptable i would give this maybe like an a minus something like
that surprisingly these are not the same keyboard they actually appear to have
different switches now the ones on the gp66 i think it has a little bit more
travel which makes sense they have a lot more room but that said the key
stabilization isn't quite as good i'd say it's about a draw between the two a
minus a minus so empirically this laptop
is very good for gaming and subjectively
it is also very good at gaming like i said before 1440p 240 hertz is
completely incredible and as long as you're not looking away from the road
you can avoid like hitting someone that comes up to you hey Linus new video idea
i get a c8 corvette that's it
oh i don't know if i mentioned this before but the screen also is 400 nits
and you can really tell that in horizon 5 when there's like the sun bouncing off
of the road and stuff it just looks fantastic i would say that this meets
the bare minimum spec on a laptop at least of having like an HDR experience
because like 400 nits on a tv is trash
it's not good at all but when you're sitting like this far away from a laptop
400 nits when it's like well done like this one is is enough to get an actual
HDR experience it's not incredible like it's not a thousand nits but when you're
this close a thousand it's actually burns your eyes like if you have a white
screen it hurts is MSI is the first one that had the uh yeah they have a mini
led display it's not in this but if you really want
an HDR experience on a laptop MSI has you covered there unsurprisingly is
laptops great at gaming who would have thought is it good at crab brave though
that's all i need to hear these ones are worse
oh okay mute
play three
okay that speakers in the vector
not so good changing to the gs77
night and day
yeah i don't need to hear anymore the stealth gs77
just absolutely blows the vector out of
the water when it comes to speaker quality in here we have six two watt speakers so
you can see the two that are up firing right there that helps a lot with treble
that adds just so much clarity when you don't have it bouncing off of things as
for the vector it has two two watt speakers and they're not firing at you
which means that the clarity is just completely ruined are you going apart
now yeah i want to take them apart cool they're doing the thing that alienware's
been doing for a little while now where they tell you exactly what screw it is
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
we go i'm in
oh it did take a little bit of screwing around with the guitar pick getting into
this thing was pretty easy just be sure that you use something like the ifixit
tray to put all of your screws back in the right spot some of them are real
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
goes through the chassis it's a terrible time the bottom is a bit aluminum and
some plastic as well once you're in here the upgrade ability looks fantastic so
we have our one SSD in here there's another spot for a second SSD if you
want to upgrade your storage as for the RAM
there we go 16 gigabytes 4 800 megahertz there's
also super easy access to the battery like i said before 99.9 watt hours it's
as much as you can put in this laptop and still take it on a plane i have no
clue how long the battery is going to last it's going to be dependent on so
many things like if you turn down the refresh rate and don't use the GPU and
stuff you might be able to get a not embarrassing amount of time out of it if
you try and game like it'll be nothing you you'll be down in half an hour
the heat pipe array in here is quite impressive we have what one two three
four five six including vrm coolers love to
see that on the CPU they're so power hungry these days we also have nice big
heatsinks like you can see the way if they go out here those ones aren't too
thick the ones on the sides are a little bit thicker
let's compare it to its sister laptop i'm excited to see the cooling system in
this one 150 watts is a lot for a GPU at
least a laptop
okay there we go that did it
damn that's pretty i know that in a lot of laptops like you know the stealth
right here will make the heat pipes black i absolutely love it when they
just leave it as bare copper it looks so pretty and like damn damn
that right there is how you get 150 watts out of your GPU i'm not even going
to touch it i don't want to make it look bad we also have again super easy access
to your SSD there's one there's a spot for another one and there's a RAM
also the heatsinks on this guy are massive look at those things there i
don't know if you can really tell there it's quite a bit more cooling one final
difference and this one's very important in the vector you only get a 65 watt
hour battery again i don't know how long that's going to last you i haven't
tested it personally but it's gonna be a lot less than the 99 watt hour in the
stealth that is for sure which one would you guys want do you want the super
powerful one that also is cheaper or do you want the one with the nice track pad
and the really pretty display let me know down below and huge thanks to MSI
