1 00:00:00,130 --> 00:00:07,290 - So I'm not 100% sure if this is true but as far as I can tell in this very nondescript box 2 00:00:07,290 --> 00:00:10,450 right here is the most powerful laptop in the world. 3 00:00:10,450 --> 00:00:17,300 So we're talking eight cores from AMD and an RTX 3080 Max-P. 4 00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:22,690 So that's, you know, she's got lots of power and it's also a 16 Gigabyte version 5 00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:28,510 which is more than you even get on the desktop card. So, let's open her up and see what it's like. 6 00:00:28,510 --> 00:00:31,770 It should be noted that this is a pre-production unit. 7 00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:36,460 I'm guessing that there would be some kind of branding on here on the final one. 8 00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:39,890 The only writing is just our little asset tag here 9 00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:43,163 and that's for our internal system that didn't come on. 10 00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:48,743 What, oh, that's upside down. 11 00:00:53,610 --> 00:00:56,810 - [Male voice] Nice. - Yeah. This is my job. 12 00:00:56,810 --> 00:01:01,800 And I do it good. Power brick, 230 Watts. 13 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,370 Now, compared to laptops of yesteryear, this might not seem 14 00:01:05,370 --> 00:01:11,960 like all that much power. The new AMD processors are just so power efficient that like 15 00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:15,610 you don't need to pump 200 Watts into them. 16 00:01:15,610 --> 00:01:18,193 They run real fast at like 50. 17 00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:23,930 We also get a year of power plug, which is not 18 00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:27,750 exactly useful for us, but I brought one of these 19 00:01:27,750 --> 00:01:31,573 and that's about it in here besides the laptop. 20 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,880 Which again is about as black and nondescript as possible. 21 00:01:40,050 --> 00:01:45,300 We got, I guess the serial number from Clevo and that's about it. 22 00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:49,350 So this one right here is for XMG and it's for Germany 23 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:52,880 which I guess I can just open it up right now and show you. 24 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,540 Means the keyboard's not all that useful if you are me and don't know German. 25 00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:00,580 So there's a couple things here that 26 00:02:00,580 --> 00:02:08,560 are slightly inconvenient for using it. So for one it's Q-W-E-R-T-Z, normally Y would be there. 27 00:02:11,530 --> 00:02:15,530 These are all different and all of this stuff up here is just wrong. 28 00:02:15,530 --> 00:02:21,690 We're getting a bit ahead of ourselves here though. So for IO on the side, just single USB Type-A 29 00:02:21,690 --> 00:02:26,530 headphone microphone on the back you get USB Type-C so 30 00:02:26,530 --> 00:02:30,070 no Thunderbolt because it's AMD technically can get that 31 00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:35,690 but practically you don't. And also full-size HDMI, it should be noted that both 32 00:02:35,690 --> 00:02:41,230 of these go directly to the GPU. So you have like hard wire between your external monitor 33 00:02:41,230 --> 00:02:45,306 and GPU in here. No Going through the IGP (indistinct) 34 00:02:45,306 --> 00:02:51,310 - [Jono] Is that HDMI 2.1? - 2.1 with HDCP 2.3. 35 00:02:51,310 --> 00:02:55,010 So awesome. Yeah, this guy right here. Real good one. 36 00:02:55,010 --> 00:03:00,010 You also get 2.5 Gigabit LAN, which is another good job. 37 00:03:00,010 --> 00:03:04,100 And then you also get full sized SD card and two more Type-As' overall. 38 00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,480 That's really good for laptop. Nice what else do we have to say? 39 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,860 It's shockingly light. So this is 2.1 kilograms. 40 00:03:11,860 --> 00:03:16,860 And for context, the Dell XPS 15 here is 2.05 kilograms. 41 00:03:17,570 --> 00:03:21,120 Now you do get a mostly aluminum construction. 42 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,620 So like back here is aluminum. The top up here is also aluminum. 43 00:03:27,620 --> 00:03:32,060 Although the bottom is all plastic, the actual chassis 44 00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:35,230 stiffness though. And if you look here is very good 45 00:03:35,230 --> 00:03:39,560 actually I'll take it off of, people always complain when I do it on the mat. 46 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,050 Very, very rigid. Quite well-built. 47 00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:47,203 Clavos really like stepped It up lately. 48 00:03:48,190 --> 00:03:55,150 I feel like a couple of years ago everything that they made was just you could tell that it was not designed. 49 00:03:55,150 --> 00:03:55,983 Great. 50 00:03:58,270 --> 00:04:01,980 Yes, not designed great just like that sentence 51 00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:05,120 and just like the segue to our sponsor, ErgoChare. 52 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,530 Thanks to Autonomous for sponsoring this video.

Let's power over this guy up. I've actually been using it a fair bit lately. 59 00:04:37,630 --> 00:04:41,030 I got this in to compare to the Zephyrus G15. 60 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:44,183 - [Jono] It's a big boi! - Yeah. It's pretty good. 61 00:04:44,183 --> 00:04:47,715 (upbeat music) (indistinct) Brandon. 62 00:04:47,715 --> 00:04:51,610 - [Brandon] That was not my fault! - This is your fault. - [Brandon] No it's not; I did not set this background! 63 00:04:51,610 --> 00:04:55,480 - I gave you this laptop for B roll - [Brandon] Yup, and it was already there when I got it. 64 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,670 - Who added this then? - [Brandon] Probably Jake or something?IDK 65 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,333 - Maybe Madison. - [Brandon] It's Madison's fault. Blaming Madison. 66 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,153 - How do I turn on keyboard brightness? 67 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,370 Oh, that's not what I want. Oh, no. 68 00:05:11,370 --> 00:05:14,739 How do I turn this off? - [Jono] Oh, what the heck? 69 00:05:14,739 --> 00:05:18,600 - So this is one of those things where knowing what your function buttons actually do 70 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,873 comes in pretty handy. 71 00:05:21,630 --> 00:05:24,880 I'm not totally sure how to stop this. Oh, magnifier. 72 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,143 Okay. We got it. 73 00:05:29,940 --> 00:05:37,120 So that's not what that button is supposed to do. Let's see if I can get the keyboard lights on here, though. 74 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,110 There we go. And you have a lot of options of how to customize it. 75 00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:45,240 Customizing is kind of the main draw of this laptop. 76 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,270 So various Clevo, you can kinda do different things 77 00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:52,500 with different ones and XMG's whole thing is basically 78 00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:55,510 once you buy it, you can do whatever you want to it. 79 00:05:55,510 --> 00:06:00,510 They don't really care. So, memory overclocking, that's a thing that you can do 80 00:06:00,510 --> 00:06:05,440 in the BIOS actual overclocking of the CPU and the GPU. 81 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,003 It's this really, really new age type of overclocking. 82 00:06:10,910 --> 00:06:14,573 That's called dragging every slider over to the right as far as it goes. 83 00:06:17,860 --> 00:06:20,410 Can you turn on the castle module, it's over there. 84 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,970 Here we go. Boop. 80 Watts on the CPU. 85 00:06:25,970 --> 00:06:29,970 Boom, done a dynamic boost. 86 00:06:29,970 --> 00:06:35,880 Let's turn that all the way up, 15 Watts. Unlock configurable TDP, I think we should hundred 35 Watts. 87 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,040 So you gotta be thinking 135 Watts for the GPU. 88 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,340 That's not 150, but that's where the dynamic boost comes in. 89 00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:49,380 So you can steal 15 Watts from the CPU give to the GPU, boom, it's 150 Watts. 90 00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:55,140 So there are situations where you might not want to just take every slider all the way over. 91 00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:58,240 So kind of depending on how much GPU 92 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,000 or CPU you're using in a specific given task 93 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,610 it's nice to be able to just tune it how you want and what games do we have? 94 00:07:07,610 --> 00:07:10,950 We're going to install and play Valheim cause that's what I want to do. 95 00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:15,950 They there's only 500 Gigabytes, but like we have an Intel Wi-Fi, six chip in here, which is 96 00:07:15,950 --> 00:07:19,040 basically the best thing that Intel makes right now. 97 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,983 And the C is going to be 6969696969. 98 00:07:23,060 --> 00:07:27,270 Done. (laughs) 99 00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:32,050 Now one of the really beautiful things about this laptop is the screen. 100 00:07:32,050 --> 00:07:36,030 So we get 1440P at 165 Hertz 101 00:07:36,030 --> 00:07:41,070 which currently is basically the best that you can do for gaming on a laptop. 102 00:07:41,070 --> 00:07:45,590 Don't go for 4K, it's dumb. Well, it is a slight let down 103 00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:48,680 with this one right here is it has a 95% coverage 104 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,680 of the sRGB spectrum, which is not great right now. 105 00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:59,400 It's not the most exciting game at the start. We're just gonna punch some trees and then probably leave. 106 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,230 This is very, very good. 107 00:08:03,230 --> 00:08:08,230 I am not surprised at all, but we have absolute all 108 00:08:08,450 --> 00:08:13,380 of the graphics up as high as they'll go. I will turn off motion blur though. 109 00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:16,930 This thing is really loud. Let's find someone to punch. 110 00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:22,020 Hey Mr. Grayling, bam! Oh my God this guy is not powerful at all. 111 00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:25,210 Looks like 80 to 90 FPS. 112 00:08:25,210 --> 00:08:30,480 Sometimes dropping into the mid seventies. This on much lower settings on my computer 113 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,780 which has a GTX 1080 is sitting around like 40, 50 FPS. 114 00:08:37,070 --> 00:08:43,000 I don't know how much else we need to do. Although I do really want to try and sneak attack a deer. 115 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,460 It's actually almost more difficult because I have so much less vegetation on my computer. 116 00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:52,550 I'm going to turn down some of those dials custom profiles. 117 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:56,000 We don't need 80 Watts in the processor right now. 118 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000 So let's just try turning that down a bit to 50 Watts. 119 00:09:01,430 --> 00:09:05,310 Okay, deer, where are you? Wow. It really did not quiet down. 120 00:09:05,310 --> 00:09:10,480 So the GPU is currently wow. It's 85 degrees, I guess that we do have it 121 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,090 like going as fast as I can. Like we're sitting around 1600 Megahertz right now. 122 00:09:15,090 --> 00:09:20,750 And my testing though, this thing was able to do between 10 to up to 30% faster 123 00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:25,270 than the Zephyrus G15, so like that extra sound 124 00:09:25,270 --> 00:09:28,710 is netting you a bunch of power. It should be pretty easy. 125 00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:32,400 If you wanted to do the tuning that way to turn everything 126 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,210 down just a little bit, it can be what you want it to be. 127 00:09:36,210 --> 00:09:38,463 Oh, there's a deer. Okay. Sneak attack time. 128 00:09:39,490 --> 00:09:42,650 They rUn. All right, I'm calling it, no deer sneak attack. 129 00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:47,770 I'm sorry everyone involved. But this is basically a total weapon. 130 00:09:47,770 --> 00:09:54,660 As far as it comes to gaming the combination of this GPU and this screen, it's frigging wicked. 131 00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:58,630 Now I do have some light complaints 132 00:09:58,630 --> 00:10:04,380 about the keyboard here. It has two millimeters of actuation 133 00:10:04,380 --> 00:10:09,363 and it does have quite a nice little stamp to it but I have a lot of trouble with it. 134 00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:18,270 Yeah, I think that the problem is just that the actual stabilization of the various keys is not amazing. 135 00:10:18,270 --> 00:10:22,410 So like you can see here, like A, it kind of just moves all around. 136 00:10:22,410 --> 00:10:27,960 Well, they all kind of just move around. So it's kinda hard to tell when you have this much slop 137 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:33,540 in a key, what they did get really good though is this track pad for a gaming laptop. 138 00:10:33,540 --> 00:10:38,370 It's large, it tracks well, and there's no Palm rejection issues. 139 00:10:38,370 --> 00:10:42,760 So we have an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX. 140 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,040 Right now it's reporting an H, but it is an HX. 141 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,703 I am told it's just wrong in the BIOS. 142 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:55,563 We also have 32 Gigabytes of memory on this one. You can't upgrade it to 64. 143 00:10:56,930 --> 00:11:00,700 Let's see here. 500 Gigabyte SSD. I would like to have a bit more than that. 144 00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:05,520 Given how OP everything else is and the good old 3080 Max-P. 145 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,800 Even though it's not called Max-P anymore but it's powerful one that has 16 gigabytes of RAM. 146 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,410 Oh, speakers. When you do the speakers, YouTube. 147 00:11:13,410 --> 00:11:18,090 I'm going to say underwhelming. (upbeat music) 148 00:11:18,090 --> 00:11:25,050 That's actually not bad though. Okay. I'm gonna open up the XPS 15 here and see how it compares. 149 00:11:25,050 --> 00:11:28,760 This is the XMG. (upbeat music) 150 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,810 Oh, wow. Not even a competition. 151 00:11:32,810 --> 00:11:36,203 That's a... So yeah, speakers are mediocre. 152 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,669 Given the size of this thing, you'd think they could have fit like a suburb or two in there. 153 00:11:40,669 --> 00:11:45,080 This is what I'm excited to do though. I actually have not taken this thing apart yet 154 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,680 even though I have done a fair bit of testing on it. 155 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,140 So I know that it's fast but I don't know why it's fast yet. 156 00:11:53,140 --> 00:11:58,880 And there's was kind of one of two options. The first is that, Clevo has done an excellent job 157 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,640 of designing it. And a second is that AMD has done an excellent job 158 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,160 with their new processors. And this assembly seems very easy so far. 159 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,380 And I'm guessing if you're the kind of person that buys this 160 00:12:10,380 --> 00:12:17,620 you're also the kind of person that upgrades your laptop. Wow. That's a lot less cooling than I was expecting. 161 00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:21,690 If you had this much cooling on an Intel processor that had eight cores 162 00:12:21,690 --> 00:12:24,800 and was a high spec one, it would die. 163 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:30,340 Now we have four heat pipes in total. So four of them are going to the GPU and going 164 00:12:30,340 --> 00:12:34,150 across to right over here, we do have massive heat things. 165 00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:37,870 They're really thick. So that's probably where the majority of the heat is going out. 166 00:12:37,870 --> 00:12:42,040 But I'm pretty surprised that like I was expecting you to have like nine 167 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,460 heat pipes that are snaking all across the whole thing but I guess you just don't need it. 168 00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:48,790 It looks like upgradability overall is excellent. 169 00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:54,110 So we have our single SSD here and then another one fits in right there. 170 00:12:54,110 --> 00:12:58,590 You have two 2 SODIMM slots, so you want more RAM slotted in. 171 00:12:58,590 --> 00:13:03,420 Wi-Fi cards right there And we've got this massive battery, 93 Watt hours. 172 00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:06,773 And I honestly don't know what that will get you. 173 00:13:07,940 --> 00:13:13,253 Hey Jono? Can I just battery test this thing? And then we can put the thing right here. 174 00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:18,390 So if it's like seven hours, that's pretty good, I guess. 175 00:13:18,390 --> 00:13:21,530 But chances are, if you turn on anything 3d, it dies. 176 00:13:21,530 --> 00:13:25,410 Whereas if it's like 10 hours the number that's right here, then we're very impressed. 177 00:13:25,410 --> 00:13:26,243 Good job. 178 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,010 Wow, I am genuinely shocked 179 00:13:32,010 --> 00:13:36,670 that this thing is able to keep it cool. Down here we've got those underwhelming subwoofers 180 00:13:36,670 --> 00:13:40,943 and I think that's about it. I don't know if I'd recommend buying it. 181 00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:45,630 If you're the kind of person that really loves tweaking dials, 182 00:13:45,630 --> 00:13:51,310 it's pretty fricking awesome. And for the kind of person that likes just really, really powerful laptops 183 00:13:51,310 --> 00:13:56,450 I might recommend getting it, you know with a keyboard that matches your region. 184 00:13:56,450 --> 00:13:59,530 But, aside from that, this thing frigging awesome. 185 00:13:59,530 --> 00:14:03,215 If you guys enjoy this video and want to see more, super-duper powerful laptops. 186 00:14:03,215 --> 00:14:07,020 I don't know, hit a like there and have a great old day. 187 00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:07,853 See you later.
