so we're here at the MSI booth at PA Prime 2015 and they are throwing one
heck of a party it all centers around
the Grand Final of their Master's Gaming Arena 2015 this is a Heroes of the Storm
and Starcraft 2 competition that has actually been going on since May of this
year and we are finding out actually right behind us right now who will be
taking home the title for Heroes of the Storm and Starcraft 2 is going to be
tomorrow but the subject of this video is the technology running the show
behind me so let's have a closer look at the laptops that the gamers up on the
stage there are using okay so I promised we'd check out
the GE 62s that the competitors are using up there but we got a little
distracted on the way because this is the next Generation
gt72s okay it's kind of similar it's a little bit bigger but it has some pretty
amazing upgrades over the last generation product so first of all this
is running the allnew core i7 6820 HK
yes K overclocking on a notebook we've
talked about this on W show now it's real MSI figures you can Peak at around
4.2 GHz if you overclock on a quadcore on a
laptop and you can run sustain probably in the neighborhood of about 4 GHz and
the rest of the specs are no slouch as well you've got a GTX 980m 8 gig in
there it's got a 17.3 in full HD g-sync
display it's got up to 64 GB by of ddr4
memory but the storage oh the storage is
where things get really off the hook as I believe the kids say check out this
Crystal disc Mark that is a read speed of 3.2 gigabytes per second and a right
speed of 1.25 GB per second they are
achieving this with two PCIe Forex gen 3
ssds those are NVMe
ssds that is something that I personally
um have not seen before oh yeah there
are some other upgrades right physically so it's got a new keyboard design and
they've replaced one of the DisplayPort ports in the back with USB type c with
Thunderbolt 3 capability coming in the future the certification is not quite
done yet but the logo's on there the Hardware's in there and it is going to
be ready to go very very soon okay I had
to stop and see this this is the Nightblade m now this isn't the first
time that we've seen MSI do a super
compact gaming machine but this is a
whole other level because you guys will be much more impressed by it when I tip
it over onto its side and show you just how slim this puppy is so it features
support for the latest sixth generation core i7 processors yes you can stuff a
6700k in here it's got a custom mini ITX
motherboard inside that takes so damn memory so they are like really going for
all the space saving they can get on this bad boy it can hold a fullsize
graphics card so this particular one is kitted out with a GTX 970 with their
allnew Silent Storm cooling on it but yeah it's really fast it's got lots of
cooling and all that stuff but that is not even what's most impressive about
this bad boy to me so let's go ahead and open her up oh wow that came off pretty
smoothly normally it doesn't go that well for me we've got a single 2 and 1/2
in SSD up here we've got two 3 and half
inch hard drives on these handy dandy little sleds you just take out two
screws and you're ready to replace a hard drive and we've got an optical
drive they fit four drives into this
tiny like shoe box siiz chassis I mean
that's freaking unbelievable so if you do want to pick one up it'll be
available as a barebones in North America so basically you throw in your
own CPU and drives and like all that
kind of stuff or in other regions worldwide you'll be able to buy it as a
complete system very nice and wrapping things up we've
got the all-in-one that's being used by the commentators here this is the 24g E2
QE and we've seen gaming grade Allin
ones okay so yeah it's got a core i7 processor either fourth or fifth gen
depending on which skew you're shopping for this particular one is fourth gen
it's got a GTX 960m so you can watch videos at the 4K resolution of the
built-in 23.6 in screen and play like
mainstream games like League of Legends it's got enough horsepower for that it's
got 16 gigs of RAM it's got a 128 gig MSA SSD with two slots for 2 and 1 12 in
drives in this case it's got a couple of hard drives for mass storage but the
thing that we haven't really seen much of in the past is super slim gaming
Allin ones it's one of those things I've always wondered why we don't do we've
got all these slim gaming laptops well Ms side goes well hold on a second
that's the same bloody technology why don't we go ahead and put that into an
allinone and they're doing a few other things right with this one as well that
4K display is now IPS and 10-point
multitouch so it's got all all the
fixings as far as all of that is concerned so thanks for checking out our
coverage of the MSI I don't even want to call it a a a booth it's like an
extravaganza here at PAX Prime 2015 don't miss any of our content and I will
see you guys on our next video assuming you subscribe which you should
