00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,520
lately the high-end gaming laptop Arena has been getting a little crowded with

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:12,040
features like desktop class gpus NVMe solid state drives and even freaking

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:18,119
water cooling docks so it's not surprising that today's entrance Into

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,760
The Fray the ORS X7 Pro V5 tries to set

5
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:25,330
itself apart with features like mobile SLI and HDMI 2.0 but does it live up to

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,960
the billing stay tuned to find

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,960
out

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,960
corsera claims unrivaled comfort and Universal compatibility on its new void

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,879
surround headset featuring a genuine Dolby 7.1 headphone USB adapter click

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,480
the link in the video description to learn more the first thing I noticed

11
00:00:46,239 --> 00:00:53,600
about the X7 was how thin it is with a height of only 2 and 1/2 CM even with

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:58,280
the lid closed it's pretty damn small at 7bs however it's hard to call the X7

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:02,239
light but the Slimmer profile does at least offer a little more port ility

14
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:06,760
than some of the behemoths we've had roll through our office lately we'll

15
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:11,200
start our physical tour with the top which features a plain black finish

16
00:01:08,759 --> 00:01:15,560
except for the orus logo which lights up when you open the lid the bottom is

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:20,119
fairly understated as well with not much going on except for rubber feet and some

18
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:23,680
ventilation slots things get more interesting when we move around to the

19
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:28,920
sides though with the right side featuring both HDMI 2.0 and a mini

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:35,119
DisplayPort for flexibility if you're attaching additional displays a USB 3.1

21
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,280
type-c port a more standard USB 3.0 port

22
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:43,399
and an SD card reader that connects via PCI Express the HDMI 2.0 support is

23
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,640
especially nice if you want 4K at 60 HZ and can't use a DisplayPort cable

24
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:51,479
moving to the left side we see a Kensington lock slot killer gigabit Lan

25
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:56,560
port a second HDMI port that allows you to support two external monitors in

26
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:02,159
Invidia surround a VGA port for older displays another USB 3.0 port and Jacks

27
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:07,560
for your microphone and headphones the back features one last USB 3.0 port and

28
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,599
a DC input for the included power brick as well as some additional ventilation

29
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:17,959
for all the goodies inside when you open the lid you'll see a 17.3 in 1080P 75hz

30
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:19,800
IPS display with g-sync support a webcam

31
00:02:17,959 --> 00:02:24,319
which we're filming this on right now a pair of unremarkable sounding speakers

32
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:28,400
directly below the screen and a back lit orus logo power button the keyboard is

33
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,920
back lit with adjustable brightness white lights that can be turned off

34
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:37,959
completely if you so desire and features 30 key rollover the keys themselves are

35
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:42,080
pretty standard for chicklet keys and you also get a set of programmable macro

36
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,360
keys on the far left hand side the touchpad is quite glossy compared to the

37
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,800
rest of the chassis and features a nice orus logo there's also tactile bumps on

38
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,080
the bottom bit which make identifying the clicking area quite a bit easier

39
00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:58,720
which I liked what I didn't care for though was how the touchpad felt a taded

40
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:02,560
too grippy to my finger which got caught on it a couple times on trying to scroll

41
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:09,360
it just feels kind of weird under the hood you get an unlocked Skylake core i7

42
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:12,720
6820 HK processor 32 gigs of ddr4 memory

43
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:16,000
that's upgradeable to 64 two NVIDIA GTX

44
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,159
970m gpus in SLI giving you both the

45
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:24,239
benefits and issues that come with that 500 GB of NVMe solid state storage on

46
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,200
two drives in raid zero and additional 1

47
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:32,040
TB mechanical hard drive and Bluetooth with wireless AC adapters the battery is

48
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,599
Lithium Polymer that's inside a softer package that you can't access from the

49
00:03:33,799 --> 00:03:41,640
exterior so it's not the easiest thing to replace interestingly there's also a

50
00:03:38,519 --> 00:03:43,760
dedicated Hardware encoder for a media

51
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:49,439
that is supposed to take the load off of your CPU and GPU while streaming so you

52
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:53,439
won't lose as much performance getting into testing we started out by running

53
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,599
through cinebench Crisis 3 and Tomb Raider putting up the X7 against our

54
00:03:55,959 --> 00:04:04,760
Sager NP 9870 u2g which you can check out in more

55
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:05,959
detail up here or O2 I don't know we

56
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,640
were interested to see how a couple of 970 m in SLI would do against a

57
00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:15,879
fully-fledged desktop 980 and the answer is pretty well the X7 beat out the

58
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:21,040
Seager in both Crisis 3 and Tomb Raider by small margins and scored well above

59
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,600
the 75 HZ frame rate of our screen even

60
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:27,320
with the settings cranked way up which is definitely ideal cinebench was a

61
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,880
different story as this is a more CPU bound Benchmark and it saw the Seer win

62
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:36,919
by about 24% with its desktop class Skylake i7

63
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:42,840
but the X7 managed a still very respectable 704 points we were also able

64
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:48,080
to get a stable overclock of 4.0 GHz on our CPU and a plus 100 MHz offset on our

65
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:53,400
two gpus without playing with any voltages although the system ran a bit

66
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:58,960
warm on our Skybox load test at stock with both the CPU and GPU getting up to

67
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:03,720
84° overclocking only heated things up by about 1 or 2° regardless of whether

68
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:09,520
or not we overclocked though the fans were very loud during gaming you might

69
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,680
want to use a pair of headphones specifically noise cancelling headphones

70
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:17,080
if you want to game on this thing so what's our conclusion considering it

71
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:22,319
beat out our desktop class gtx980 based Sager and is going to cost less when it

72
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:26,360
comes out in mid-march the value proposition looks pretty darn good

73
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:32,960
especially when you consider the additional bells and whistles like USB

74
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:35,199
3.1 typ C HDMI 2.0 support gsync the

75
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:39,840
hardware encoder and I believe the Seer doesn't have an NVMe drive at between $2

76
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:45,600
2400 and $2,700 depending on the configuration the X7 Pro V5 could be a

77
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,560
pretty compelling option thanks for watching guys if this video is sucked
