1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,319
mobile gsync is here a shocking

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,160
development to anyone who wasn't paying attention four months ago when our Bros

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:15,799
over at PC perspective did an in-depth analysis of the rumored hacked g-sync

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,920
driver including a physical tear down to find out if there was secretly a g-sync

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,599
module inside making it work spoiler

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:28,920
alert there wasn't so then how does mobile gsync work and is it even any

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:35,559
good stay tuned cuz we'll be using the Sager NP 9773 gaming laptop to find out

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:38,879
oh and mash the Thumbs Up Button below if you'd like to see us take a closer

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:46,760
look at how 128 gigs of quad Channel ddr4 affects

10
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:46,760
performance with an 18 core

11
00:00:53,559 --> 00:01:00,039
CPU freshbooks is the online accounting service for small business owners that

12
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:04,680
gives you the tools to make you feel like the boss you are click on my face

13
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:09,640
to learn more about it so let's start with a tour of the

14
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:15,520
laptop we checking out today the word of the day is incredible the Seager NP 9773

15
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:20,680
is incredible it's incredibly fast has an incredible amount of IO is incredibly

16
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:26,400
large and heavy and this is really incredible features a desktop processor

17
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:33,439
for incredible mobile performance that's right the NP 9773 puts the desktop in

18
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:37,119
desktop replacement with a full LGA 1150

19
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:38,759
core i7 4790k quad core hyperthreaded

20
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:43,680
processor at its heart one that impressively managed to run for me at

21
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:49,560
full 4.2 GHz turbo under a multi-threaded CPU only workload even on

22
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:54,640
a soft surface like a bed albeit at a slightly uncomfortable 90° CPU

23
00:01:52,360 --> 00:02:01,240
temperature our model is equipped with 16 gigs of dual Channel RAM a 128 gig

24
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:03,399
m.2 SSD and a 1 tab drive but it can be

25
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:09,000
configured with up to 32 gigs of RAM up to two m.2 ssds and up to two 2 and 1/2

26
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:15,640
in hard drives or ssds in pretty much any capacity it's got an Intel 7265 2x2

27
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:20,680
AC wireless card and a GTX 98m 8 gig graphics card the best GPU you can get

28
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:24,280
for a laptop the rest of the specs aren't configurable so on the left

29
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,920
you've got gigabit Ethernet three USB 3.0 ports an SD card reader and an eSATA

30
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:33,080
Port that also doubles as a USB 2.0 Port by the way on on the right is a final

31
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:38,760
USB 3.0 Port headphone line in microphone and Optical out audio ports

32
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:44,640
then on the back is power in HDMI 1.4a and a pair of DisplayPort 1.2 ports on

33
00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:49,080
the bottom is a subwoofer and a couple of air intakes to feed the rear exhaust

34
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,720
ports along with some easy access hatches for drive or memory upgrades and

35
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:58,760
on top of the device is a simple logo with a soft touch finish that I found

36
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:03,799
pleasing to the eye and to the hand since we find it when we we open up the

37
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,599
lid on the wrist rest as well also down

38
00:03:03,799 --> 00:03:09,159
here we find a full-size keyboard including number pad with RGB

39
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:12,680
backlighting that supports a number of lighting modes my impressions of the

40
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:17,799
keyboard are something along the lines of it's okay nothing stood out to me as

41
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:22,360
really bad or good about it a touch stiff the right shift is a little short

42
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,400
but the arrow key layout is good and the breathing or color cycling effects are

43
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,560
cool if you're into that sort of thing there's also an off-center touchpad with

44
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,040
separated buttons and a fingerprint reader in the middle something I didn't

45
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:39,560
know that I cared about until I checked out the Lenovo X1 Carbon recently and

46
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:45,959
absolutely loved it I actually really liked the touchpad too and I can't quite

47
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,480
put my finger on why ironically but it

48
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:54,239
just felt super responsive and accurate even if it doesn't have the glass top

49
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,159
feel that I like so much moving up are

50
00:03:54,239 --> 00:03:59,439
the speakers that don't suck something that deserves a mention even though it's

51
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:04,840
a lot less challenging on devices this size and on something like the MacBook

52
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:07,799
2015 I reviewed recently and finally the

53
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:14,120
screen this is what this laptop is really about for me not because it's

54
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:15,560
17in size or 1920 x 1080 full HD

55
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:20,239
resolution is particularly groundbreaking or even because it's

56
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:26,280
unusual anymore to see IPS monitors and gaming laptops but because it runs at 75

57
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,880
HZ out of the box when 60 HZ is much more typical and because it features G

58
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,919
g-sync at some point I'm going to get sick of rehashing g-sync and you're all

59
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,600
going to get sick of hearing about it but it is not this day g-sync and other

60
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:44,000
variable refresh rate Technologies improve animation smoothness in games by

61
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:49,680
refreshing the display whenever the graphics card outputs a frame instead of

62
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:51,160
at even intervals which can cause lag or

63
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,720
screen tearing whenever the graphics card and the monitor are out of sync

64
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,560
with each other so now we've got it on a notebook and all we can really do is

65
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:05,080
well talk about the gaming experience first I wanted to find out how it felt

66
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:08,840
out of the box so at 75 HZ I loaded up a couple of games that I enjoy

67
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:14,600
benchmarking Crisis 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5 to see how they did for starters

68
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:18,840
IPS gaming really is the way forward that much is very clear to me now that

69
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:22,680
I've gone that route on my desktop as well as my daily driver notebook the

70
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:28,960
slight difference in pixel response times IMO is worth the improved image

71
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,199
quality and for number two g-sync Is

72
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:35,759
Awesome on a laptop just like it is on a desktop at least for now NVIDIA has

73
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,919
already said that they can enable some additional functionality with the g-sync

74
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:44,840
module in the desktop displays which presumably on these notebook displays

75
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:50,360
that are running on embedded DisplayPort directly to the panel scaler

76
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:53,639
without an NVIDIA module won't be able to do but just like what I said in my

77
00:05:52,680 --> 00:06:01,720
BenQ xl2730z video recently I don't mind a

78
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:03,960
slightly worse hand Ling of some edge

79
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:08,599
cases outside of the you know sort of optimal operation window frame rates

80
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:15,000
since this is the PC so you can just tweak your settings to get everything

81
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:17,560
perfect in 95 or 99% of cases so I'll

82
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:22,800
say the same thing here a quick hop into the game menu to balance your frame

83
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,960
rates in that 45 to 75 range is going to

84
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,199
make for a great gsync gaming experience

85
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:34,440
but it actually gets better panel refresh rate overclock is definitely a

86
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:37,759
thing on this particular IPS monitor and

87
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:40,039
I got ours up to 100 HZ with no hassle

88
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:44,919
whatsoever so now we're really flying and perhaps even getting some kind of

89
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:49,720
small benefit out of our core i7 4790k however tiny that might be since

90
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:55,000
it does actually turbo a little higher than a notebook CPU in not very threaded

91
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:59,120
workloads like games allowing us to get slightly higher maximum frame rates

92
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:04,639
which I guess just leads to the conclusion of this video how is the

93
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:07,560
Seager np97 73 well if you want great

94
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:12,400
battery life go buy a Macbook because between the desktop CPU and the fact

95
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:17,680
that mobile gsync precludes the use of Optimus onboard Graphics sharing to save

96
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:22,160
battery and light workloads battery life is pretty much a non-starter here but if

97
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:27,599
you want a mobile workstation that's quiet under light workloads reasonably

98
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:32,720
quiet still under heavy ones and is truly as powerful as your desktop top

99
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:37,199
even in heavy multi-threaded workloads it looks pretty darn good and you can

100
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:44,080
cancel your gym membership too since moving your computer around is going to be one heck of a workout speaking of

101
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:48,520
workout you know what works out for you guys if you're into anime watching on

102

104
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,479
other ones we're going to have to update my thing that I say every once in a
