1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:07,560
this right here's the MSI gs70 a

2
00:00:04,470 --> 00:00:09,719
surprised me the most my saw at CES 2020

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:15,059
MSI logo on it like this one right here but it felt and looked good I've gotten

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:19,619
kind of used to their laptops being a bit on the flimsy do this sort of a

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,310
thing when you moving around but this right here it felt really good so let's

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:31,820
see if you know what's really lives up to that initial impression all right

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,739
what do you have in here laptop there

8
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:42,090
let's get the power first if I had to guess this is going to be a very power

9
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:45,059
hungry machine it's a very heavy brick

10
00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:49,110
230 watts not too bad especially for something that's a bit on the thinner

11
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:52,379
side getting the actual laptop here so nice they have the specs of this right

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:01:00,870
on the back here we have an Intel Core i7 107 50h we also have a 27 T super 512

13
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:06,840
Gigabyte SSD and 32 gigabytes of RAM it's going to be quite a beast in games

14
00:01:02,789 --> 00:01:08,250
comes with a 99.9 watt hour battery 100

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:15,500
watt hours is the limit to get it on a plane anyway here it is it's double

16
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:20,659
bagged so we'll have to kind of get through there one and then two

17
00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:36,490
oh that was an exceptional appeal we

18
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:41,200
also have a nice little MSI microfiber cloth in here overall I think it looks

19
00:01:38,770 --> 00:01:45,490
pretty smart no it's just it's just black it looks like a laptop but like in

20
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:49,390
a good way you could use it as like a professional and no one's going to think

21
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:53,980
twice about it it's actually quite solid you get a tiny bit of deflection here

22
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:58,120
around the trackpad area but it's really not a whole lot especially on something

23
00:01:55,690 --> 00:02:03,250
dis large it even passes the screen wobble test power in Thunderbolt

24
00:02:00,490 --> 00:02:08,020
full-sized HDMI and USB type-a over here we have two more tight bays a ones not

25
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:12,010
Thunderbolt but Type C headphone combo jack and Ethernet that's a really fancy

26
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:16,450
looking headphone jack I wonder if there's some like special DAC in here

27
00:02:14,230 --> 00:02:20,950
it's going to complain a tiny bit that the top bezel is a bit thick compared to

28
00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:25,600
some other competitors but the fact that they have IR facial recognition in there

29
00:02:22,690 --> 00:02:30,130
is friggin awesome you can press on top of the touchpad like not on the touchpad

30
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:35,170
just on the chassis around the touchpad and actually click the most this is

31
00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:39,940
something that you could do on the old MSI laptop they have not fixed it here I

32
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:45,430
wonder if the palm rejection is any better because last time it was not

33
00:02:42,430 --> 00:02:47,350
great I have had some little bits of

34
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:53,800
palm rejection issues here my right palm is able to click the trackpad here

35
00:02:50,950 --> 00:02:58,660
because there's just so much of it as for the keyboard itself I quite like it

36
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,930
they're not particularly well defined key presses I feel like these are the

37
00:03:00,730 --> 00:03:06,580
same key switches that were on their last couple of laptops just they feel

38
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,980
good now that there's a solid chassis underneath of it I'm going to do what

39
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,560
probably everyone else that's using this laptop is going to do and I'm going to

40
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:19,570
use a mouse yeah like even I just set my hands down and I'm clicking it with my right hand

41
00:03:17,790 --> 00:03:24,100
extracting Sena bench I heard the fans ramped up a little bit

42
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:30,160
here so I feel like we are in for tornado MSI I very explicitly told me

43
00:03:27,220 --> 00:03:34,630
that if I am doing any performance stuff that I need to put it into extreme

44
00:03:32,410 --> 00:03:39,160
performance there we go it's definitely not what I would consider like a

45
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,540
pleasant laptop sound like some of them

46
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:46,000
can get away with being loud than this by just being more of like a

47
00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:50,109
instead of like a wah when you have no headphones on you kind of get the full

48
00:03:47,709 --> 00:03:54,340
spectrum where is he's right here I can only hear the high notes coming out of

49
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,750
this and just like in my ears it's like what I was saying before we're like the

50
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:02,890
keyboard is has a really short travel it's pretty soft there's not a whole lot

51
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:05,079
of tactility going on there for gaming I think it's gonna be really great you

52
00:04:04,180 --> 00:04:10,930
don't want your hands getting tired because you're holding the W key for like an hour they also do have a smaller

53
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:14,620
shift key on the right but I think it's fine it's not nearly as bad as on say

54
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:20,049
like the blade itself which I think they also fixed that hello who oh I just

55
00:04:17,380 --> 00:04:24,520
discovered a problem Ethernet come straight home where your mouse is that's

56
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,729
fine I guess I don't know how they could fix it now

57
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,470
that I'm looking at it but I don't like it I guess that's some other laptops will

58
00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:34,660
have the Ethernet jacks on the back here so you plug it in there and there you

59
00:04:33,490 --> 00:04:40,120
don't have to worry about it hitting your mouse they have to cool like the 27

60
00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:44,020
t and the i7 that are in here somehow and they have a bunch of fins up here

61
00:04:42,460 --> 00:04:48,389
but at the same time it's just annoying and II just pointed out that in the top

62
00:04:46,449 --> 00:04:54,099
down there this thing is an absolute fingerprint magnet like everywhere that

63
00:04:51,610 --> 00:05:01,659
I touch you can just immediately see it just oh it felt like so girls right here

64
00:04:57,940 --> 00:05:03,520
we have 300 Hertz this screen is so fast

65
00:05:01,659 --> 00:05:06,820
I really like this screen now the screen isn't unique to this laptop you can't

66
00:05:05,349 --> 00:05:14,099
get on like I think the new razor blade has it a bunch of paces laptops have it

67
00:05:10,770 --> 00:05:16,720
those are not amazing speakers for sure

68
00:05:14,099 --> 00:05:22,659
they're definitely a bit on the thin side when it's a big ol 15.6 inch laptop

69
00:05:20,229 --> 00:05:27,010
you need a tiny bit more than that I would say they're perfectly usable if it

70
00:05:24,940 --> 00:05:32,530
wasn't for how loud the fans were so it looks like we're getting a very solid

71
00:05:29,550 --> 00:05:39,310
140 FPS on the highest settings in this which is quite good I would say this is

72
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:42,430
not an easy game to run by any means oh yeah once you have headphones on

73
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:46,960
there's no way that you're going to notice the fans so one last thing that I

74
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:50,950
want to take a look at is have they fixed the upgrade abilities on the last

75
00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:53,650
version a lot of the stuff that you would want to upgrade was behind the

76
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,509
motherboard so it required for you to take literally

77
00:05:56,530 --> 00:06:04,570
everything in it out it says factory seal because they have

78
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:06,460
hidden a screw underneath that that is

79
00:06:04,570 --> 00:06:10,000
greasy there we go any problems that they had before with

80
00:06:08,050 --> 00:06:14,220
upgradability with like RAM on the back of the motherboard appear to have been

81
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:21,520
fixed so we've got two Rams right here a NVMe and SATA em two right here

82
00:06:17,860 --> 00:06:26,320
another PCIe only m2 spot right here

83
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:28,300
have our Intel wireless card and a lot

84
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:32,440
of heat pipes and fans there's actually three fans in here I'm actually

85
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:37,120
surprised with such an Opie looking cooling system but it is such an

86
00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:42,280
annoying thing overall I'm quite impressed with the new GS 66 it doesn't

87
00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:47,440
address all of the problems of the last one I eat the trackpad but pretty much

88
00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:52,660
everything else has been fixed good job MSI instead of making something that you

89
00:06:49,479 --> 00:06:56,940
know feels like toilet paper feeling

90
00:06:52,660 --> 00:07:00,310
like toilet paper but in 2020 I like it

91
00:06:56,940 --> 00:07:02,889
anyway hope you guys all have a good day

92
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:09,599
and I'll see you later I need to put this back together now oh yeah get

93
00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:09,599
subscribed also that so long
