WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.520 lately the high-end gaming laptop Arena has been getting a little crowded with 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:12.040 features like desktop class gpus NVMe solid state drives and even freaking 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:18.119 water cooling docks so it's not surprising that today's entrance Into 00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:19.760 The Fray the ORS X7 Pro V5 tries to set 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 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.960 the billing stay tuned to find 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.960 out 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.960 corsera claims unrivaled comfort and Universal compatibility on its new void 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.879 surround headset featuring a genuine Dolby 7.1 headphone USB adapter click 00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:48.480 the link in the video description to learn more the first thing I noticed 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 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 00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.239 light but the Slimmer profile does at least offer a little more port ility 00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:06.760 than some of the behemoths we've had roll through our office lately we'll 00:01:04.839 --> 00:01:11.200 start our physical tour with the top which features a plain black finish 00:01:08.759 --> 00:01:15.560 except for the orus logo which lights up when you open the lid the bottom is 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:20.119 fairly understated as well with not much going on except for rubber feet and some 00:01:18.119 --> 00:01:23.680 ventilation slots things get more interesting when we move around to the 00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:28.920 sides though with the right side featuring both HDMI 2.0 and a mini 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:35.119 DisplayPort for flexibility if you're attaching additional displays a USB 3.1 00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:37.280 type-c port a more standard USB 3.0 port 00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:43.399 and an SD card reader that connects via PCI Express the HDMI 2.0 support is 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.640 especially nice if you want 4K at 60 HZ and can't use a DisplayPort cable 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:51.479 moving to the left side we see a Kensington lock slot killer gigabit Lan 00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:56.560 port a second HDMI port that allows you to support two external monitors in 00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:02.159 Invidia surround a VGA port for older displays another USB 3.0 port and Jacks 00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:07.560 for your microphone and headphones the back features one last USB 3.0 port and 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:11.599 a DC input for the included power brick as well as some additional ventilation 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 00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:19.800 IPS display with g-sync support a webcam 00:02:17.959 --> 00:02:24.319 which we're filming this on right now a pair of unremarkable sounding speakers 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:28.400 directly below the screen and a back lit orus logo power button the keyboard is 00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:32.920 back lit with adjustable brightness white lights that can be turned off 00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:37.959 completely if you so desire and features 30 key rollover the keys themselves are 00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:42.080 pretty standard for chicklet keys and you also get a set of programmable macro 00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:45.360 keys on the far left hand side the touchpad is quite glossy compared to the 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.800 rest of the chassis and features a nice orus logo there's also tactile bumps on 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.080 the bottom bit which make identifying the clicking area quite a bit easier 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 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 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:09.360 it just feels kind of weird under the hood you get an unlocked Skylake core i7 00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:12.720 6820 HK processor 32 gigs of ddr4 memory 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:16.000 that's upgradeable to 64 two NVIDIA GTX 00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:18.159 970m gpus in SLI giving you both the 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:24.239 benefits and issues that come with that 500 GB of NVMe solid state storage on 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.200 two drives in raid zero and additional 1 00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:32.040 TB mechanical hard drive and Bluetooth with wireless AC adapters the battery is 00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:35.599 Lithium Polymer that's inside a softer package that you can't access from the 00:03:33.799 --> 00:03:41.640 exterior so it's not the easiest thing to replace interestingly there's also a 00:03:38.519 --> 00:03:43.760 dedicated Hardware encoder for a media 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 00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:53.439 won't lose as much performance getting into testing we started out by running 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:57.599 through cinebench Crisis 3 and Tomb Raider putting up the X7 against our 00:03:55.959 --> 00:04:04.760 Sager NP 9870 u2g which you can check out in more 00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:05.959 detail up here or O2 I don't know we 00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:10.640 were interested to see how a couple of 970 m in SLI would do against a 00:04:08.079 --> 00:04:15.879 fully-fledged desktop 980 and the answer is pretty well the X7 beat out the 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:21.040 Seager in both Crisis 3 and Tomb Raider by small margins and scored well above 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:22.600 the 75 HZ frame rate of our screen even 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:27.320 with the settings cranked way up which is definitely ideal cinebench was a 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:30.880 different story as this is a more CPU bound Benchmark and it saw the Seer win 00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:36.919 by about 24% with its desktop class Skylake i7 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:42.840 but the X7 managed a still very respectable 704 points we were also able 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 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:53.400 two gpus without playing with any voltages although the system ran a bit 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 00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:03.720 84° overclocking only heated things up by about 1 or 2° regardless of whether 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:09.520 or not we overclocked though the fans were very loud during gaming you might 00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:12.680 want to use a pair of headphones specifically noise cancelling headphones 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:17.080 if you want to game on this thing so what's our conclusion considering it 00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:22.319 beat out our desktop class gtx980 based Sager and is going to cost less when it 00:05:19.960 --> 00:05:26.360 comes out in mid-march the value proposition looks pretty darn good 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:32.960 especially when you consider the additional bells and whistles like USB 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:35.199 3.1 typ C HDMI 2.0 support gsync the 00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:39.840 hardware encoder and I believe the Seer doesn't have an NVMe drive at between $2 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:45.600 2400 and $2,700 depending on the configuration the X7 Pro V5 could be a 00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:47.560 pretty compelling option thanks for watching guys if this video is sucked 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.880 you know what to do but if it was awesome get
