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

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.719
wouldn't blame you you probably have noticed the absolute Monsoon tunami of

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:16.240
mini computers that has flooded the market they're cheap they're small they

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

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

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:30.240
form Adam man G7 PT it is a gaming mini

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:36.160
computer I mean it's it's pretty small but this is

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.680
,000 that's like gaming laptop territory

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

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

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:51.239
this power brick is almost the same volume as some of their higher-end mini

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:55.800
computers HDMI cable in the box like that and the power cable you might be

00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:59.680
wondering why is this thing so large and if you haven't guessed already it's

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:05.040
because it has a dedicated graphics card in inside of it specifically the 7600

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:11.400
MXT from AMD which is paired with the 7945 HX processor inside of it so this

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:14.680
is an AMD on AMD computer on the front

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.000
USB type a combo mic audio jack and USB

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:20.040
type c this little guy you click the button and presumably those LEDs changed

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

00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:31.280
for the gargantuan power brick and on

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

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:41.079
DisplayPort alt mode 3 10 gig USB type

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.040
A's a 2.5 gig Lan and then discret

00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:50.439
headphone and mic Jacks curiously this guy on the front is not USB 4 or

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:53.320
Thunderbolt and neither is this one so

00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:56.840
you can't hook up an egpu to this computer I mean it has a dedicated

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

00:01:59.479 --> 00:02:06.240
probably buy like a um 790 Pro or 890

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

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

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

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:22.440
we'll see when we open it up but as is

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:24.160
no egpu power button on the top there's

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

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

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

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:41.680
okay oh Jesus okay I was worried that it didn't

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:49.480
have like see magnets how do they work okay

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

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

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

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:07.799
like the design I have seen on the product photos that there's going to be

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

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

00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:21.920
can see the fans right there and then we got a grill on the

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

00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:34.200
so we've got the light panel thingies

00:03:30.920 --> 00:03:37.159
behind what is this asakusa what I

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:41.640
recall from CES when they were showing me this is the intention is hey you can

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

00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:50.959
like an Esports company or something you could just order custom panels and put

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

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

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:03.400
like red we'll have to see if it's RGB in a sec

00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.560
here that's pretty much it on the outside let's turn the bloody thing

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:13.560
on who it is RGB the block I kind of

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

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

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:26.600
school and this season MSI has you covered with deals on gaming laptops AI

00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:30.960
capable machines gaming handhelds and more because nothing says back to school

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:35.520
like gaming so check out the fully spec certified gamer cyborg 14 and the rest

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

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

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:50.639
OBS there's like discret right and left interesting okay the one on the top then

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

00:04:53.240 --> 00:05:01.000
have any experience with this particular chipset but generally I would like to

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:03.360
see Intel Wi-Fi 7 especially on a th000

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:09.520
device this one came configured with two 16 gig sticks of 5200 megat transfer per

00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:13.160
second ddr5 and then we've got our 7945

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:16.800
HX as we saw before we have a 1 tbte

00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:19.560
Kingston SSD gen 4x4 it's

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:23.199
$1,000 without anything installed so in this configuration it's 1,200 I think

00:05:21.479 --> 00:05:25.759
it's 1,200 right now which says early bird pricing but Min form does this

00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:31.240
thing where they say like early bird pricing and the pricing never increases

00:05:27.960 --> 00:05:35.000
it's in the quiet mode right now

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:39.280
which I like the quiet mode it's quiet I

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:43.120
like very nice somehow drawing 30

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:43.120
Watts okay so if I click this

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.400
button fan immediately go bur okay yeah that makes sense it's got apparently

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

00:05:53.160 --> 00:06:03.479
heat pipes and for some reason gold it's pretty loud in this this here

00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:10.080
mode why is it what's 80 degrees what the hell is this thing doing nothing

00:06:06.039 --> 00:06:13.680
Windows update I swear to you sir

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:16.360
stop end task oh that actually worked

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

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

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:31.039
fast as an M1 Ultra in cin bench CR actually it's faster technically on

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:38.960
multicore oh yeah okay okay okay so throughout in the hot boy mode 70° C and

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:43.240
85 Watts on the CPU GPU is chilling around 50 interesting look at that so

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

00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:51.000
it could use is like 8 to 15 watts and

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:55.360
then now that we are screen capping on it again and not running a stupid CPU

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

00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:05.360
17 Dynamic power balancing very cool

00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:09.080
steam knows the FPS AMD the driver for

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.759
the graphics card apparently does not

00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:15.800
but I'm driving around cyberpunk 1080p medium preset with FSR turned off and

00:07:12.919 --> 00:07:22.960
we're reving around 100 FPS is drying 112 Watts from the GPU Ultra is probably

00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:25.440
a bit optimistic one might say but let's

00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:29.360
try it does this have R tracing on no cuz this

00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:32.440
doesn't doesn't do that right okay we're

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.440
on on Ultra

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:38.720
now 80 FPS did they optimize this game

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

00:07:42.440 --> 00:07:50.680
the temps oh she was getting toasty almost 90° drawing 80 Watts on the CPU

00:07:48.840 --> 00:07:57.120
it was telling it it could do 180 Watts but it was actually doing

00:07:53.400 --> 00:07:59.479
115 and the GPU is 70° so combined we're

00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:03.599
looking at like 200 W power draw in cyberone overall I mean it games It

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

00:08:05.080 --> 00:08:12.120
AMD computer they're usually not going to put an Intel chipset with an AMD CPU

00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:18.039
upload speed it's just like across the board slower like this would be like 600

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:19.960
and 800 or 700 and it's just less good

00:08:18.039 --> 00:08:24.759
not scientific who knows maybe this AP is super overloaded but let's take it

00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:28.720
apart one thing I did find out these led panels they change colors every 2

00:08:26.280 --> 00:08:31.919
seconds it's not configurable yet which is kind of lame

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

00:08:33.640 --> 00:08:41.159
an app it's like in the BIOS H I wonder how this thing comes

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:43.680
apart oh oh look at that Grill comes

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

00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.440
like it's like a

00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:54.560
web oh yeah okay that did something that

00:08:53.279 --> 00:09:00.519
sounded crunchy okay there's nothing attached to

00:08:56.640 --> 00:09:01.800
that that's good is it just

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:08.880
no that huh what the holy heat sink Batman what

00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:11.279
the hell so does this just peel off oh

00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:11.279
this feels

00:09:11.880 --> 00:09:18.560
wrong yeah that oh we can put that back

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:24.839
is oh that's a fair bit of heat sink there brother so this entire section

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:27.120
here heat sink more heat sink two big

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

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

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

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

00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:44.880
just come out like super easy and I'm just overthinking it you know there

00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.399
probably is a universe in which this thing has a

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

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:59.480
that stuff in there okay so there's two little cables for this doohickey with

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

00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:07.079
leave this guy on just take these off

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

00:10:09.959 --> 00:10:13.519
is this guy this is like a cooler for the

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

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

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

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

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

00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:45.000
sink on the back here goes all the way

00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:47.399
up to here like this and then that fan

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

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:57.040
Cooling and then you have the little fan for the m2s you can see our little

00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:01.680
mediatech thing if you bought this and you're sad about the mediatech chip you

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

00:11:03.160 --> 00:11:05.839
serviceable

00:11:06.680 --> 00:11:13.440
side oh look that's stuck right back on there like nothing

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

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

00:11:22.160 --> 00:11:28.920
to find these specs in a laptop probably for less but mind you laptops also come

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:34.480
with a keyboard and a screen and a battery and other things that are useful

00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:36.279
for doing stuff it's not super quiet

00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:41.399
unless you put it in the quiet mode but it's also not super horribly

00:11:39.040 --> 00:11:45.519
loud if you just want performance like you're going to be better off building a

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:50.240
gaming computer for $1,000 us you get way better performance than this but

00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:53.279
you're probably not buying this for that use case as a little home theater PC

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

00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:02.959
a decent option if I'm looking for something to compare to that b model Rog

00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:07.560
knok which is a very similar form factor much slower CPU bit better GPU half the

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:12.240
RAM half the SSD is

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

00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:21.720
quite a bit faster graphics card same storage and memory that's $2,200 so

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

00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:31.519
they they're swinging and maybe hitting

00:12:27.839 --> 00:12:32.720
if you are the ball that is for this so

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:37.839
thanks for watching if you like this video like down below get subscribed

00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:41.160
tell me what you think about this this thick brick
