00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:05.319
mobile gsync is here a shocking

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:10.160
development to anyone who wasn't paying attention four months ago when our Bros

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:15.799
over at PC perspective did an in-depth analysis of the rumored hacked g-sync

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:20.920
driver including a physical tear down to find out if there was secretly a g-sync

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:23.599
module inside making it work spoiler

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:28.920
alert there wasn't so then how does mobile gsync work and is it even any

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

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

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:46.760
look at how 128 gigs of quad Channel ddr4 affects

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.760
performance with an 18 core

00:00:53.559 --> 00:01:00.039
CPU freshbooks is the online accounting service for small business owners that

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

00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:09.640
to learn more about it so let's start with a tour of the

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:15.520
laptop we checking out today the word of the day is incredible the Seager NP 9773

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:20.680
is incredible it's incredibly fast has an incredible amount of IO is incredibly

00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:26.400
large and heavy and this is really incredible features a desktop processor

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:33.439
for incredible mobile performance that's right the NP 9773 puts the desktop in

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:37.119
desktop replacement with a full LGA 1150

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.759
core i7 4790k quad core hyperthreaded

00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:43.680
processor at its heart one that impressively managed to run for me at

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:49.560
full 4.2 GHz turbo under a multi-threaded CPU only workload even on

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:54.640
a soft surface like a bed albeit at a slightly uncomfortable 90° CPU

00:01:52.360 --> 00:02:01.240
temperature our model is equipped with 16 gigs of dual Channel RAM a 128 gig

00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:03.399
m.2 SSD and a 1 tab drive but it can be

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

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

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

00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:24.280
for a laptop the rest of the specs aren't configurable so on the left

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

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

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:38.760
USB 3.0 Port headphone line in microphone and Optical out audio ports

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

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:49.080
the bottom is a subwoofer and a couple of air intakes to feed the rear exhaust

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:54.720
ports along with some easy access hatches for drive or memory upgrades and

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

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

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.599
lid on the wrist rest as well also down

00:03:03.799 --> 00:03:09.159
here we find a full-size keyboard including number pad with RGB

00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:12.680
backlighting that supports a number of lighting modes my impressions of the

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:17.799
keyboard are something along the lines of it's okay nothing stood out to me as

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:22.360
really bad or good about it a touch stiff the right shift is a little short

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:26.400
but the arrow key layout is good and the breathing or color cycling effects are

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

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:34.040
separated buttons and a fingerprint reader in the middle something I didn't

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:39.560
know that I cared about until I checked out the Lenovo X1 Carbon recently and

00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:45.959
absolutely loved it I actually really liked the touchpad too and I can't quite

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.480
put my finger on why ironically but it

00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:54.239
just felt super responsive and accurate even if it doesn't have the glass top

00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:56.159
feel that I like so much moving up are

00:03:54.239 --> 00:03:59.439
the speakers that don't suck something that deserves a mention even though it's

00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:04.840
a lot less challenging on devices this size and on something like the MacBook

00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:07.799
2015 I reviewed recently and finally the

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:14.120
screen this is what this laptop is really about for me not because it's

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.560
17in size or 1920 x 1080 full HD

00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:20.239
resolution is particularly groundbreaking or even because it's

00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:26.280
unusual anymore to see IPS monitors and gaming laptops but because it runs at 75

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

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

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

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:44.000
variable refresh rate Technologies improve animation smoothness in games by

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:49.680
refreshing the display whenever the graphics card outputs a frame instead of

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:51.160
at even intervals which can cause lag or

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.720
screen tearing whenever the graphics card and the monitor are out of sync

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

00:04:57.880 --> 00:05:05.080
well talk about the gaming experience first I wanted to find out how it felt

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

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:14.600
benchmarking Crisis 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5 to see how they did for starters

00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:18.840
IPS gaming really is the way forward that much is very clear to me now that

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:22.680
I've gone that route on my desktop as well as my daily driver notebook the

00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:28.960
slight difference in pixel response times IMO is worth the improved image

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:31.199
quality and for number two g-sync Is

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

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.919
already said that they can enable some additional functionality with the g-sync

00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:44.840
module in the desktop displays which presumably on these notebook displays

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:50.360
that are running on embedded DisplayPort directly to the panel scaler

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

00:05:52.680 --> 00:06:01.720
BenQ xl2730z video recently I don't mind a

00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:03.960
slightly worse hand Ling of some edge

00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:08.599
cases outside of the you know sort of optimal operation window frame rates

00:06:06.280 --> 00:06:15.000
since this is the PC so you can just tweak your settings to get everything

00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:17.560
perfect in 95 or 99% of cases so I'll

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:22.800
say the same thing here a quick hop into the game menu to balance your frame

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:25.960
rates in that 45 to 75 range is going to

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:28.199
make for a great gsync gaming experience

00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:34.440
but it actually gets better panel refresh rate overclock is definitely a

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:37.759
thing on this particular IPS monitor and

00:06:34.440 --> 00:06:40.039
I got ours up to 100 HZ with no hassle

00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:44.919
whatsoever so now we're really flying and perhaps even getting some kind of

00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:49.720
small benefit out of our core i7 4790k however tiny that might be since

00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:55.000
it does actually turbo a little higher than a notebook CPU in not very threaded

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:59.120
workloads like games allowing us to get slightly higher maximum frame rates

00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:04.639
which I guess just leads to the conclusion of this video how is the

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:07.560
Seager np97 73 well if you want great

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:12.400
battery life go buy a Macbook because between the desktop CPU and the fact

00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:17.680
that mobile gsync precludes the use of Optimus onboard Graphics sharing to save

00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:22.160
battery and light workloads battery life is pretty much a non-starter here but if

00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:27.599
you want a mobile workstation that's quiet under light workloads reasonably

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:32.720
quiet still under heavy ones and is truly as powerful as your desktop top

00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:37.199
even in heavy multi-threaded workloads it looks pretty darn good and you can

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

00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:48.520
workout you know what works out for you guys if you're into anime watching on
