WEBVTT 00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:07.560 this right here's the MSI gs70 a 00:00:04.470 --> 00:00:09.719 surprised me the most my saw at CES 2020 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 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 00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:23.310 thing when you moving around but this right here it felt really good so let's 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:31.820 see if you know what's really lives up to that initial impression all right 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:34.739 what do you have in here laptop there 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 00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:45.059 hungry machine it's a very heavy brick 00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:49.110 230 watts not too bad especially for something that's a bit on the thinner 00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:52.379 side getting the actual laptop here so nice they have the specs of this right 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 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 00:01:02.789 --> 00:01:08.250 comes with a 99.9 watt hour battery 100 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 00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:20.659 bagged so we'll have to kind of get through there one and then two 00:01:26.830 --> 00:01:36.490 oh that was an exceptional appeal we 00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:41.200 also have a nice little MSI microfiber cloth in here overall I think it looks 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 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 00:01:47.170 --> 00:01:53.980 twice about it it's actually quite solid you get a tiny bit of deflection here 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:58.120 around the trackpad area but it's really not a whole lot especially on something 00:01:55.690 --> 00:02:03.250 dis large it even passes the screen wobble test power in Thunderbolt 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 00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:12.010 Thunderbolt but Type C headphone combo jack and Ethernet that's a really fancy 00:02:10.480 --> 00:02:16.450 looking headphone jack I wonder if there's some like special DAC in here 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 00:02:18.580 --> 00:02:25.600 some other competitors but the fact that they have IR facial recognition in there 00:02:22.690 --> 00:02:30.130 is friggin awesome you can press on top of the touchpad like not on the touchpad 00:02:27.670 --> 00:02:35.170 just on the chassis around the touchpad and actually click the most this is 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 00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:45.430 wonder if the palm rejection is any better because last time it was not 00:02:42.430 --> 00:02:47.350 great I have had some little bits of 00:02:45.430 --> 00:02:53.800 palm rejection issues here my right palm is able to click the trackpad here 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 00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:01.930 they're not particularly well defined key presses I feel like these are the 00:03:00.730 --> 00:03:06.580 same key switches that were on their last couple of laptops just they feel 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 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 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 00:03:17.790 --> 00:03:24.100 extracting Sena bench I heard the fans ramped up a little bit 00:03:22.030 --> 00:03:30.160 here so I feel like we are in for tornado MSI I very explicitly told me 00:03:27.220 --> 00:03:34.630 that if I am doing any performance stuff that I need to put it into extreme 00:03:32.410 --> 00:03:39.160 performance there we go it's definitely not what I would consider like a 00:03:36.160 --> 00:03:40.540 pleasant laptop sound like some of them 00:03:39.160 --> 00:03:46.000 can get away with being loud than this by just being more of like a 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 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 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 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 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.079 of tactility going on there for gaming I think it's gonna be really great you 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 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 00:04:13.030 --> 00:04:20.049 like the blade itself which I think they also fixed that hello who oh I just 00:04:17.380 --> 00:04:24.520 discovered a problem Ethernet come straight home where your mouse is that's 00:04:23.080 --> 00:04:27.729 fine I guess I don't know how they could fix it now 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 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 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 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 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 00:04:46.449 --> 00:04:54.099 down there this thing is an absolute fingerprint magnet like everywhere that 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 00:04:57.940 --> 00:05:03.520 we have 300 Hertz this screen is so fast 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 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 00:05:10.770 --> 00:05:16.720 those are not amazing speakers for sure 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 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 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 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 00:05:36.550 --> 00:05:42.430 not an easy game to run by any means oh yeah once you have headphones on 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 00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:50.950 want to take a look at is have they fixed the upgrade abilities on the last 00:05:49.029 --> 00:05:53.650 version a lot of the stuff that you would want to upgrade was behind the 00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:58.509 motherboard so it required for you to take literally 00:05:56.530 --> 00:06:04.570 everything in it out it says factory seal because they have 00:06:00.340 --> 00:06:06.460 hidden a screw underneath that that is 00:06:04.570 --> 00:06:10.000 greasy there we go any problems that they had before with 00:06:08.050 --> 00:06:14.220 upgradability with like RAM on the back of the motherboard appear to have been 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 00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:26.320 another PCIe only m2 spot right here 00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:28.300 have our Intel wireless card and a lot 00:06:26.320 --> 00:06:32.440 of heat pipes and fans there's actually three fans in here I'm actually 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:37.120 surprised with such an Opie looking cooling system but it is such an 00:06:35.050 --> 00:06:42.280 annoying thing overall I'm quite impressed with the new GS 66 it doesn't 00:06:40.630 --> 00:06:47.440 address all of the problems of the last one I eat the trackpad but pretty much 00:06:45.430 --> 00:06:52.660 everything else has been fixed good job MSI instead of making something that you 00:06:49.479 --> 00:06:56.940 know feels like toilet paper feeling 00:06:52.660 --> 00:07:00.310 like toilet paper but in 2020 I like it 00:06:56.940 --> 00:07:02.889 anyway hope you guys all have a good day 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 00:07:05.110 --> 00:07:09.599 subscribed also that so long
