1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,920
unless you've been living under a rock the last couple years and if you were I

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:10,719
wouldn't blame you you probably have noticed the absolute Monsoon tunami of

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:16,240
mini computers that has flooded the market they're cheap they're small they

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,960
can hide in places and I mean they're cute right but we're kind of getting to

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:28,199
the point where I feel like we might be missing the plot a bit this is the mini

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:30,240
form Adam man G7 PT it is a gaming mini

7
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:36,160
computer I mean it's it's pretty small but this is

8
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:38,680
,000 that's like gaming laptop territory

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,200
I don't even know what to think about this anymore I mean it's huge here's

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,960
here's the computer we got that right there oh it comes with a stand very cool

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:51,239
this power brick is almost the same volume as some of their higher-end mini

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:55,800
computers HDMI cable in the box like that and the power cable you might be

13
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:59,680
wondering why is this thing so large and if you haven't guessed already it's

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:05,040
because it has a dedicated graphics card in inside of it specifically the 7600

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:11,400
MXT from AMD which is paired with the 7945 HX processor inside of it so this

16
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:14,680
is an AMD on AMD computer on the front

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:17,000
USB type a combo mic audio jack and USB

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,040
type c this little guy you click the button and presumably those LEDs changed

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:28,759
to tell you what performance mode you're and that's cool we'll try that out in a little bit on the bottom power connector

20
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:31,280
for the gargantuan power brick and on

21
00:01:28,759 --> 00:01:38,040
the back holy IO Batman on the back we've got DP 2.0 HDMI 2.1 type-c with

22
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:41,079
DisplayPort alt mode 3 10 gig USB type

23
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:44,040
A's a 2.5 gig Lan and then discret

24
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:50,439
headphone and mic Jacks curiously this guy on the front is not USB 4 or

25
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Thunderbolt and neither is this one so

26
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:56,840
you can't hook up an egpu to this computer I mean it has a dedicated

27
00:01:55,159 --> 00:02:03,439
graphics card in it so that's not really like the plot if that's your plan

28
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:06,240
probably buy like a um 790 Pro or 890

29
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:09,119
Pro which have USB 4 and hook an egpu up to that you're going to save yourself a

30
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:13,440
bunch of money but if your plan was to buy this and then like upgrade in 6

31
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:18,840
months you're not going to be doing that maybe you could mod it with like an m.2

32
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,440
we'll see when we open it up but as is

33
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,160
no egpu power button on the top there's

34
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:29,000
a little hole there I'm imagining there is a reset I saw there was maybe another

35
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:32,200
hole here I don't know what these holes are for one of these probably does reset

36
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:38,360
I kind of wish this had 5 gig land like that other mini form we looked at recently that would have been cool stand

37
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,680
okay oh Jesus okay I was worried that it didn't

38
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:49,480
have like see magnets how do they work okay

39
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:54,319
yeah there we go how does the power oh it's right angle I see okay so you you

40
00:02:51,720 --> 00:03:00,280
stick the doohickey in the hole and then you do like a that and then you do like

41
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,680
a that well that's pretty clean I like that I guess all that's left is

42
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:07,799
like the design I have seen on the product photos that there's going to be

43
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:12,840
something lighting up here I don't know what that is yet and on this side I it's

44
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:17,000
like Spider-Man themed I guess it's all mesh here which is good for cooling you

45
00:03:14,519 --> 00:03:21,920
can see the fans right there and then we got a grill on the

46
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:30,920
front grill on the top can I take this off oh oh oh this is magnetic waa Okay

47
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:34,200
so we've got the light panel thingies

48
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:37,159
behind what is this asakusa what I

49
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:41,640
recall from CES when they were showing me this is the intention is hey you can

50
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,959
just take it out and then just have like a panel here or you know if you were

51
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:50,959
like an Esports company or something you could just order custom panels and put

52
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,799
them in there I'm put it back on there without it I'm sorry animator dude I

53
00:03:53,599 --> 00:04:00,480
don't like your logo on the side of my gaming computer it's just going to be

54
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,400
like red we'll have to see if it's RGB in a sec

55
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,560
here that's pretty much it on the outside let's turn the bloody thing

56
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:13,560
on who it is RGB the block I kind of

57
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:17,079
like the the just the squares it's like a like a dance party you know what this

58
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:22,079
dance move's called this segue to our sponsor MSI they put the cool in back to

59
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,600
school and this season MSI has you covered with deals on gaming laptops AI

60
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:30,960
capable machines gaming handhelds and more because nothing says back to school

61
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:35,520
like gaming so check out the fully spec certified gamer cyborg 14 and the rest

62
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,680
of msi's back to school sale at the link down below and elevate your Tech game

63
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:46,880
this semester I figured out what the two holes on the front are these are microphones it's two sides I can see an

64
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,639
OBS there's like discret right and left interesting okay the one on the top then

65
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:55,039
must be reset it's got mediatech Wi-Fi 7 which is I mean I don't know I I don't

66
00:04:53,240 --> 00:05:01,000
have any experience with this particular chipset but generally I would like to

67
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:03,360
see Intel Wi-Fi 7 especially on a th000

68
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:09,520
device this one came configured with two 16 gig sticks of 5200 megat transfer per

69
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:13,160
second ddr5 and then we've got our 7945

70
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,800
HX as we saw before we have a 1 tbte

71
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Kingston SSD gen 4x4 it's

72
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:23,199
$1,000 without anything installed so in this configuration it's 1,200 I think

73
00:05:21,479 --> 00:05:25,759
it's 1,200 right now which says early bird pricing but Min form does this

74
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:31,240
thing where they say like early bird pricing and the pricing never increases

75
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:35,000
it's in the quiet mode right now

76
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:39,280
which I like the quiet mode it's quiet I

77
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:43,120
like very nice somehow drawing 30

78
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:43,120
Watts okay so if I click this

79
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,400
button fan immediately go bur okay yeah that makes sense it's got apparently

80
00:05:48,039 --> 00:05:56,080
quite the cooling setup which we'll see in a minute when I take it apart something about liquid metal many hate

81
00:05:53,160 --> 00:06:03,479
heat pipes and for some reason gold it's pretty loud in this this here

82
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:10,080
mode why is it what's 80 degrees what the hell is this thing doing nothing

83
00:06:06,039 --> 00:06:13,680
Windows update I swear to you sir

84
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,360
stop end task oh that actually worked

85
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:20,759
okay all righty let's just let's open a cin bench we'll do a little cin bench

86
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:26,639
see how warm she gets CPU multicore it's in the the loud mode Hey look it's as

87
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:31,039
fast as an M1 Ultra in cin bench CR actually it's faster technically on

88
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:38,960
multicore oh yeah okay okay okay so throughout in the hot boy mode 70° C and

89
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:43,240
85 Watts on the CPU GPU is chilling around 50 interesting look at that so

90
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,160
you can see down here during this run it was telling the GPU that the most power

91
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:51,000
it could use is like 8 to 15 watts and

92
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:55,360
then now that we are screen capping on it again and not running a stupid CPU

93
00:06:53,560 --> 00:07:00,360
load it's saying that the GPU could use like 40 WTS and it's actually using like

94
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:05,360
17 Dynamic power balancing very cool

95
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:09,080
steam knows the FPS AMD the driver for

96
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,759
the graphics card apparently does not

97
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:15,800
but I'm driving around cyberpunk 1080p medium preset with FSR turned off and

98
00:07:12,919 --> 00:07:22,960
we're reving around 100 FPS is drying 112 Watts from the GPU Ultra is probably

99
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:25,440
a bit optimistic one might say but let's

100
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:29,360
try it does this have R tracing on no cuz this

101
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:32,440
doesn't doesn't do that right okay we're

102
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,440
on on Ultra

103
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,720
now 80 FPS did they optimize this game

104
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:44,960
that's pretty good Ultra between 70 and 80 FPS at 1080p no FSR oh let's look at

105
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:50,680
the temps oh she was getting toasty almost 90° drawing 80 Watts on the CPU

106
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:57,120
it was telling it it could do 180 Watts but it was actually doing

107
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:59,479
115 and the GPU is 70° so combined we're

108
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:03,599
looking at like 200 W power draw in cyberone overall I mean it games It

109
00:08:01,479 --> 00:08:07,159
games pretty good not as fast as Intel Wi-Fi but this is what you get with an

110
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:12,120
AMD computer they're usually not going to put an Intel chipset with an AMD CPU

111
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:18,039
upload speed it's just like across the board slower like this would be like 600

112
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:19,960
and 800 or 700 and it's just less good

113
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:24,759
not scientific who knows maybe this AP is super overloaded but let's take it

114
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:28,720
apart one thing I did find out these led panels they change colors every 2

115
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,919
seconds it's not configurable yet which is kind of lame

116
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:36,320
you can't change the speed I don't know if you can change the color but it's not

117
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:41,159
an app it's like in the BIOS H I wonder how this thing comes

118
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:43,680
apart oh oh look at that Grill comes

119
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:49,440
off cool now it looks way cooler all of the sudden even why why is it Spider-Man

120
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,440
like it's like a

121
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,560
web oh yeah okay that did something that

122
00:08:53,279 --> 00:09:00,519
sounded crunchy okay there's nothing attached to

123
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,800
that that's good is it just

124
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:08,880
no that huh what the holy heat sink Batman what

125
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,279
the hell so does this just peel off oh

126
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,279
this feels

127
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:18,560
wrong yeah that oh we can put that back

128
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:24,839
is oh that's a fair bit of heat sink there brother so this entire section

129
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:27,120
here heat sink more heat sink two big

130
00:09:24,839 --> 00:09:30,000
old blower fans I wish I could see more of this cooling thing I don't really

131
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:34,839
want to take it off cuz it's liquid metal but um where do the ssds go if you

132
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:38,160
buy this thing Bare Bones you got to be able to get in there I don't think

133
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,560
they're on this they must be on the other side maybe it is just these panels

134
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,880
just come out like super easy and I'm just overthinking it you know there

135
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:47,399
probably is a universe in which this thing has a

136
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,760
manual okay okay yeah yeah yeah that's not too bad oh there it is look at all

137
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:59,480
that stuff in there okay so there's two little cables for this doohickey with

138
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:05,480
the panel yeah don't take the thing I took off off just leave that side alone

139
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,079
leave this guy on just take these off

140
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:11,360
two little screws that was very easy to get in here we got our RAM sticks what

141
00:10:09,959 --> 00:10:13,519
is this guy this is like a cooler for the

142
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:22,360
ssds wait we can see under the little m.2 cooler thing that it has two m.2

143
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:27,440
slots one of which is PCI gen 4x4 and the other is PC Gen 5 which they say is

144
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,640
oh it's the first Mini PC with PC Gen 5 m do2s that's cool the the one that they

145
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:35,120
shipped in this system which is not the Bare Bones one this one TB which is what

146
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:41,320
you would get if you bought the thing is Gen 4 so keep that in mind this heat

147
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:45,000
sink on the back here goes all the way

148
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:47,399
up to here like this and then that fan

149
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:53,480
you can see it right here just a little bit extra Fage to do a little more extra

150
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:57,040
Cooling and then you have the little fan for the m2s you can see our little

151
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:01,680
mediatech thing if you bought this and you're sad about the mediatech chip you

152
00:10:58,839 --> 00:11:05,839
could just swap it with an Intel one oh good and the seos battery is on the

153
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,839
serviceable

154
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:13,440
side oh look that's stuck right back on there like nothing

155
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:18,920
happened man what do I say about this I mean at the price 1,000 us to buy a

156
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:24,600
barebones or 12200 with 32 gigs of RAM 1 TB SSD it's not cheap you're not going

157
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:28,920
to find these specs in a laptop probably for less but mind you laptops also come

158
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,480
with a keyboard and a screen and a battery and other things that are useful

159
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:36,279
for doing stuff it's not super quiet

160
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:41,399
unless you put it in the quiet mode but it's also not super horribly

161
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:45,519
loud if you just want performance like you're going to be better off building a

162
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:50,240
gaming computer for $1,000 us you get way better performance than this but

163
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,279
you're probably not buying this for that use case as a little home theater PC

164
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:57,920
like if you're in the market for a computer that is this size it seems like

165
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:02,959
a decent option if I'm looking for something to compare to that b model Rog

166
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:07,560
knok which is a very similar form factor much slower CPU bit better GPU half the

167
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:12,240
RAM half the SSD is

168
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:16,760
$1,629 if you go to the top tier model which still has a slower CPU although

169
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:21,720
quite a bit faster graphics card same storage and memory that's $2,200 so

170
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:27,839
$1,000 more than this if this is the form Factory you want I mean minis form

171
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:31,519
they they're swinging and maybe hitting

172
00:12:27,839 --> 00:12:32,720
if you are the ball that is for this so

173
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:37,839
