dbrand.com the place to go to get a great fitting skin for your device game
console or laptop check them out at the link in the video description I mean I I
guess this is it right this is the year of laptops that defy
portability although I've got to give
MSI this compared to the other entrance
in this apparently flourishing category Acer with the
21x ASUS with the 800 GX and Razer with
their triple monitor concept thing at
least MSI can lay claim to being the first to build a monstrosity like this
this is the successor to the original gt80 Titan the world's first laptop with
a full cherrymx mechanical keyboard and
at the time what I thought would be the only one ever but no it has been
refreshed some things haven't been changed we're still dealing with a 1080p
IPS 60 HZ display because there just
simply aren't a lot of options from the panel makers at 18 in so okay I guess I
get that g-sync would have been nice at the least though we've still got the
Cherry MX switches now with individually
back lit RGB keys and with a new Switch
type so instead of Browns which I do really like they're using another switch
which we've only seen before in Corsair's gaming keyboard boards the
Cherry MX speed to the right of the speed you've still got that weird
vertical touchpad that I'm not a huge fan of but um I Cliff's defense was
something along the lines of hey where you want me to put a bigger one I'm like
okay I guess that's fair and it still turns into a unlock but the insides have
changed a lot so we ripped her open you can still get the top panel off to get
access to two of the four ddr4 memory slots as well as the m.2 slots which are
capable of running in raid and opening it up here in the bottom oh wow I have
never seen such a beautiful heatpipe
cooling engine in my life this baby has
three fans two of which are dedicated to
the GTX 1080 gpus and one of which is
doing most of the heavy lifting on the cor i7 7820 HK CPU and I believe it is a
total of nine heat pipes P stacked three-dimensionally all over the inside
of this Beast with heat sinks that are utilizing almost the entire Z height of
what is already one of the thickest gaming laptops on the
market very very impressive and more
impressive still you might have noticed that is an overclocking ready skew on
the inside of this laptop not only can
the CPU be overclocked but those gpus those 1080 SLI gpus are capable capable
of running at full non-dp restricted
speed according to the MSI reps here though of course I'll be needing a unit
of this to uh check out in the lab I'm getting the I'm getting the I hate you
lus nod but uh we have to do what you say cuz you get lots of views on YouTube
look in terms of IO going back out to the outside we've got USB 3 on the right
we've got a whack ton more USB 3 on the left we got optical audio out because
freaking YOLO I guess I mean it does have a new audio codec in it that's you
know HD highres or whatever the case may be it's got an SD card reader Kensington
lock and all the display outports you'll probably need HDMI 2.0 gigabit Lan
Thunderbolt and mini DisplayPort the one thing really missing here in my mind
is support for triple external g-sync monitors cuz it's the kind of thing I
could conceivably see someone hooking up to something like this but uh hey I
guess we'll have to live with that so how do you power a beast like this MSI's
answer turns out is very similar to cleos so they're using a little Bridge
dudad here where two 330 W power bricks
go in and one plug goes into the back of the laptop so that's it 660 watts that's
how they're managing to power all that stuff so huge shout out to you guys for
