WEBVTT 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 00:00:07.290 --> 00:00:10.450 right here is the most powerful laptop in the world. 00:00:10.450 --> 00:00:17.300 So we're talking eight cores from AMD and an RTX 3080 Max-P. 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 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. 00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:31.770 It should be noted that this is a pre-production unit. 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. 00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:39.890 The only writing is just our little asset tag here 00:00:39.890 --> 00:00:43.163 and that's for our internal system that didn't come on. 00:00:44.330 --> 00:00:48.743 What, oh, that's upside down. 00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:56.810 - [Male voice] Nice. - Yeah. This is my job. 00:00:56.810 --> 00:01:01.800 And I do it good. Power brick, 230 Watts. 00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:05.370 Now, compared to laptops of yesteryear, this might not seem 00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:11.960 like all that much power. The new AMD processors are just so power efficient that like 00:01:12.350 --> 00:01:15.610 you don't need to pump 200 Watts into them. 00:01:15.610 --> 00:01:18.193 They run real fast at like 50. 00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:23.930 We also get a year of power plug, which is not 00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:27.750 exactly useful for us, but I brought one of these 00:01:27.750 --> 00:01:31.573 and that's about it in here besides the laptop. 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:39.880 Which again is about as black and nondescript as possible. 00:01:40.050 --> 00:01:45.300 We got, I guess the serial number from Clevo and that's about it. 00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:49.350 So this one right here is for XMG and it's for Germany 00:01:49.350 --> 00:01:52.880 which I guess I can just open it up right now and show you. 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. 00:01:57.540 --> 00:02:00.580 So there's a couple things here that 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. 00:02:11.530 --> 00:02:15.530 These are all different and all of this stuff up here is just wrong. 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 00:02:21.690 --> 00:02:26.530 headphone microphone on the back you get USB Type-C so 00:02:26.530 --> 00:02:30.070 no Thunderbolt because it's AMD technically can get that 00:02:30.070 --> 00:02:35.690 but practically you don't. And also full-size HDMI, it should be noted that both 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 00:02:41.230 --> 00:02:45.306 and GPU in here. No Going through the IGP (indistinct) 00:02:45.306 --> 00:02:51.310 - [Jono] Is that HDMI 2.1? - 2.1 with HDCP 2.3. 00:02:51.310 --> 00:02:55.010 So awesome. Yeah, this guy right here. Real good one. 00:02:55.010 --> 00:03:00.010 You also get 2.5 Gigabit LAN, which is another good job. 00:03:00.010 --> 00:03:04.100 And then you also get full sized SD card and two more Type-As' overall. 00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:07.480 That's really good for laptop. Nice what else do we have to say? 00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:11.860 It's shockingly light. So this is 2.1 kilograms. 00:03:11.860 --> 00:03:16.860 And for context, the Dell XPS 15 here is 2.05 kilograms. 00:03:17.570 --> 00:03:21.120 Now you do get a mostly aluminum construction. 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.620 So like back here is aluminum. The top up here is also aluminum. 00:03:27.620 --> 00:03:32.060 Although the bottom is all plastic, the actual chassis 00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:35.230 stiffness though. And if you look here is very good 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. 00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:45.050 Very, very rigid. Quite well-built. 00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:47.203 Clavos really like stepped It up lately. 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. 00:03:55.150 --> 00:03:55.983 Great. 00:03:58.270 --> 00:04:01.980 Yes, not designed great just like that sentence 00:04:01.980 --> 00:04:05.120 and just like the segue to our sponsor, ErgoChare. 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. 00:04:37.630 --> 00:04:41.030 I got this in to compare to the Zephyrus G15. 00:04:41.030 --> 00:04:44.183 - [Jono] It's a big boi! - Yeah. It's pretty good. 00:04:44.183 --> 00:04:47.715 (upbeat music) (indistinct) Brandon. 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! 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. 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.670 - Who added this then? - [Brandon] Probably Jake or something?IDK 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.333 - Maybe Madison. - [Brandon] It's Madison's fault. Blaming Madison. 00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:06.153 - How do I turn on keyboard brightness? 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.370 Oh, that's not what I want. Oh, no. 00:05:11.370 --> 00:05:14.739 How do I turn this off? - [Jono] Oh, what the heck? 00:05:14.739 --> 00:05:18.600 - So this is one of those things where knowing what your function buttons actually do 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:19.873 comes in pretty handy. 00:05:21.630 --> 00:05:24.880 I'm not totally sure how to stop this. Oh, magnifier. 00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:26.143 Okay. We got it. 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. 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.110 There we go. And you have a lot of options of how to customize it. 00:05:42.070 --> 00:05:45.240 Customizing is kind of the main draw of this laptop. 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.270 So various Clevo, you can kinda do different things 00:05:49.270 --> 00:05:52.500 with different ones and XMG's whole thing is basically 00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:55.510 once you buy it, you can do whatever you want to it. 00:05:55.510 --> 00:06:00.510 They don't really care. So, memory overclocking, that's a thing that you can do 00:06:00.510 --> 00:06:05.440 in the BIOS actual overclocking of the CPU and the GPU. 00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:10.003 It's this really, really new age type of overclocking. 00:06:10.910 --> 00:06:14.573 That's called dragging every slider over to the right as far as it goes. 00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:20.410 Can you turn on the castle module, it's over there. 00:06:21.880 --> 00:06:25.970 Here we go. Boop. 80 Watts on the CPU. 00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:29.970 Boom, done a dynamic boost. 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. 00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:40.040 So you gotta be thinking 135 Watts for the GPU. 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.340 That's not 150, but that's where the dynamic boost comes in. 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. 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. 00:06:55.140 --> 00:06:58.240 So kind of depending on how much GPU 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:03.000 or CPU you're using in a specific given task 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? 00:07:07.610 --> 00:07:10.950 We're going to install and play Valheim cause that's what I want to do. 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 00:07:15.950 --> 00:07:19.040 basically the best thing that Intel makes right now. 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.983 And the C is going to be 6969696969. 00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:27.270 Done. (laughs) 00:07:27.270 --> 00:07:32.050 Now one of the really beautiful things about this laptop is the screen. 00:07:32.050 --> 00:07:36.030 So we get 1440P at 165 Hertz 00:07:36.030 --> 00:07:41.070 which currently is basically the best that you can do for gaming on a laptop. 00:07:41.070 --> 00:07:45.590 Don't go for 4K, it's dumb. Well, it is a slight let down 00:07:45.590 --> 00:07:48.680 with this one right here is it has a 95% coverage 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.680 of the sRGB spectrum, which is not great right now. 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. 00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:03.230 This is very, very good. 00:08:03.230 --> 00:08:08.230 I am not surprised at all, but we have absolute all 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. 00:08:13.380 --> 00:08:16.930 This thing is really loud. Let's find someone to punch. 00:08:16.930 --> 00:08:22.020 Hey Mr. Grayling, bam! Oh my God this guy is not powerful at all. 00:08:22.020 --> 00:08:25.210 Looks like 80 to 90 FPS. 00:08:25.210 --> 00:08:30.480 Sometimes dropping into the mid seventies. This on much lower settings on my computer 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:34.780 which has a GTX 1080 is sitting around like 40, 50 FPS. 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. 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.460 It's actually almost more difficult because I have so much less vegetation on my computer. 00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:52.550 I'm going to turn down some of those dials custom profiles. 00:08:52.550 --> 00:08:56.000 We don't need 80 Watts in the processor right now. 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.000 So let's just try turning that down a bit to 50 Watts. 00:09:01.430 --> 00:09:05.310 Okay, deer, where are you? Wow. It really did not quiet down. 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 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:15.090 like going as fast as I can. Like we're sitting around 1600 Megahertz right now. 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 00:09:20.750 --> 00:09:25.270 than the Zephyrus G15, so like that extra sound 00:09:25.270 --> 00:09:28.710 is netting you a bunch of power. It should be pretty easy. 00:09:28.710 --> 00:09:32.400 If you wanted to do the tuning that way to turn everything 00:09:32.400 --> 00:09:36.210 down just a little bit, it can be what you want it to be. 00:09:36.210 --> 00:09:38.463 Oh, there's a deer. Okay. Sneak attack time. 00:09:39.490 --> 00:09:42.650 They rUn. All right, I'm calling it, no deer sneak attack. 00:09:42.650 --> 00:09:47.770 I'm sorry everyone involved. But this is basically a total weapon. 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. 00:09:54.660 --> 00:09:58.630 Now I do have some light complaints 00:09:58.630 --> 00:10:04.380 about the keyboard here. It has two millimeters of actuation 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. 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. 00:10:18.270 --> 00:10:22.410 So like you can see here, like A, it kind of just moves all around. 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 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. 00:10:33.540 --> 00:10:38.370 It's large, it tracks well, and there's no Palm rejection issues. 00:10:38.370 --> 00:10:42.760 So we have an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX. 00:10:42.760 --> 00:10:46.040 Right now it's reporting an H, but it is an HX. 00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:49.703 I am told it's just wrong in the BIOS. 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. 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. 00:11:00.700 --> 00:11:05.520 Given how OP everything else is and the good old 3080 Max-P. 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. 00:11:09.800 --> 00:11:13.410 Oh, speakers. When you do the speakers, YouTube. 00:11:13.410 --> 00:11:18.090 I'm going to say underwhelming. (upbeat music) 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. 00:11:25.050 --> 00:11:28.760 This is the XMG. (upbeat music) 00:11:28.760 --> 00:11:32.810 Oh, wow. Not even a competition. 00:11:32.810 --> 00:11:36.203 That's a... So yeah, speakers are mediocre. 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. 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 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.680 even though I have done a fair bit of testing on it. 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. 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 00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:02.640 of designing it. And a second is that AMD has done an excellent job 00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:07.160 with their new processors. And this assembly seems very easy so far. 00:12:07.160 --> 00:12:10.380 And I'm guessing if you're the kind of person that buys this 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. 00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:21.690 If you had this much cooling on an Intel processor that had eight cores 00:12:21.690 --> 00:12:24.800 and was a high spec one, it would die. 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 00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:34.150 across to right over here, we do have massive heat things. 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. 00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:42.040 But I'm pretty surprised that like I was expecting you to have like nine 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. 00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:48.790 It looks like upgradability overall is excellent. 00:12:48.790 --> 00:12:54.110 So we have our single SSD here and then another one fits in right there. 00:12:54.110 --> 00:12:58.590 You have two 2 SODIMM slots, so you want more RAM slotted in. 00:12:58.590 --> 00:13:03.420 Wi-Fi cards right there And we've got this massive battery, 93 Watt hours. 00:13:03.420 --> 00:13:06.773 And I honestly don't know what that will get you. 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. 00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:18.390 So if it's like seven hours, that's pretty good, I guess. 00:13:18.390 --> 00:13:21.530 But chances are, if you turn on anything 3d, it dies. 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. 00:13:25.410 --> 00:13:26.243 Good job. 00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:32.010 Wow, I am genuinely shocked 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 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. 00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:45.630 If you're the kind of person that really loves tweaking dials, 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 00:13:51.310 --> 00:13:56.450 I might recommend getting it, you know with a keyboard that matches your region. 00:13:56.450 --> 00:13:59.530 But, aside from that, this thing frigging awesome. 00:13:59.530 --> 00:14:03.215 If you guys enjoy this video and want to see more, super-duper powerful laptops. 00:14:03.215 --> 00:14:07.020 I don't know, hit a like there and have a great old day. 00:14:07.020 --> 00:14:07.853 See you later.
