Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:09,599
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,679
is nc.com so we're checking out some MSI

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,600
systems here that are looking pretty freaking crazy so number one is the gt70

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,400
dragon Edition 2 extreme so what makes a notebook extreme you might ask I would

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:27,840
answer well the fact that it has an Intel cor i7 extreme Edition inside that

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,200
would be the obvious answer the next answer is the fact that it has a GTX 780

8
00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:36,600
M inside so that's about as powerful as it gets for a mobile graphics card my

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:42,600
third answer might be that it has what they're calling their exclusive super

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:46,480
Raid 2 which is three MSA ssds in raid

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:48,800
zero and a 750 GB hard drive for mass

12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:54,480
storage and last but not least with their cooler boost to as well as their

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:00,760
special hybrid power design this notebook is capable of overclocking that

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:05,680
normally 3 GHz core i7 exam Edition all the way up to

15
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:07,680
4.1 GHz what you do is you boot it up

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,680
with a special hotkey and you can actually run it at significantly higher

17
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,960
clock speeds now this is going to exceed the amount of power that a device like

18
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,119
oh looks like we have an external Mouse plugged in so there's yeah there's a touchpad off button here we go I got it

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,320
you can turn the touch pad off so you don't accidentally hit it with your palm if you uh don't want to do that so

20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:29,920
here's the hybrid power design so what this does is if you exceed the amount of

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:34,799
power that can be drawn from AC and you in short bursts it'll actually allow The

22
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:38,759
Notebook battery to boost it up so you can maintain that extremely high

23
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:44,439
performance level regardless of anything else it uses a 17.3 in full HD screen

24
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:49,960
and there is definitely more to come in terms of cool MSI notebook stay tuned

25
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,759
I've been complaining for so long that displays are not high resolution enough

26
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:59,640
what is the freaking excuse for being able to put a 1080p display on this and

27
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:04,920
only being able to put a 1080 display wait hold on this isn't a 1080p

28
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:07,039
display this is a 3K Edition so what

29
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:12,720
this is is it's a notebook that finally UPS the anti in terms of resolution 2880

30
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:16,120
by 1620 so you can see those icons are pretty small what you also might be able

31
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:22,000
to see although it's hard to say because we're shooting this in 1080P is that the

32
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:24,040
display is significantly sharper so what

33
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,840
MSI had to do is they first of all they had to put a higher resolution display

34
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:33,360
in here next they had to back it up with performance so this one also this is GT

35
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:39,560
633k it also features a core i7 extreme Edition processor it's got 16 gigs of

36
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:43,519
DDR3 memory an NVIDIA gForce GTX 780m

37
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:45,959
graphics card with 4 gigs of gddr5 RAM

38
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:50,200
why do you need four gigs of gddr5 RAM well that's the issue here is that when

39
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,959
you increase the resolution this is what everyone's been afraid to do for so long

40
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:58,680
when you increase the resolution you increase the hardware requirement in

41
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:03,280
order to drive it and actually have a great gaming experience

42
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:07,480
on the device so they had to put in all that Graphics memory because as you

43
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:11,680
increase resolution you need more vram to buffer the textures that you require

44
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,440
now you also get some other cool functionality with a GTX 780 check out

45
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,959
these three displays that are running right here all three of them are

46
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:23,599
actually running off of this display so it has support for NVIDIA's 3 plus one

47
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:29,239
so that is NVIDIA surround over three displays with an auxiliary display

48
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:32,560
giving you up to four display outputs

49
00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:35,560
off of single notebook so this is a 15.5

50
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,200
in model and honestly this is sort of

51
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,200
just the beginning here so we still got the steel series multi backlit keyboard

52
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,519
but I just I want to move on I want to move on I love 3K and that's all sort of

53
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:50,040
great and fine and interesting but check this

54
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,319
out this is a whole new concept when it

55
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:57,040
comes to gaming notebooks it's slim it's

56
00:03:53,319 --> 00:04:00,680
gorgeous it's aluminum and it is a 17.3

57
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,400
in gaming notebook with a GTX 765 5 m a

58
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:08,560
core i7 it's got that same super raid technology we talked about before and

59
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:14,159
when you fold this baby down she is less than 1 in in overall thickness so I'll

60
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,840
do my trademark cell phone size comparison here to give you guys some

61
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:24,000
idea so you're going to see outputs on the side you got Ethernet HDMI dual

62
00:04:20,359 --> 00:04:25,479
DisplayPort USB 3 as well as audio

63
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,240
ports and on the other side over here you probably won't be able to look at it but we've got two USB 3 actually I can

64
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:36,560
turn this around we've got an SD card slot as well as cooling so check out the

65
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:41,080
bottom of it fully aluminum on the bottom of it as well so ventilation

66
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:47,400
comes in here and the they are still able to cool the core i7 CPU as well as

67
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:50,759
the GTX 765m if you were looking for a

68
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:53,440
notebook that is stylish as well as high

69
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:57,520
performance and you don't mind the size I mean I guess if you want the large

70
00:04:55,039 --> 00:05:02,199
screen then you definitely want the size then you may not have to look any

71
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:04,039
further than the gs70 from MSI can you

72
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:07,280
see the backlit keyboard from the side here so it's a bit of a redesigned

73
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,919
backlit keyboard there's a different type face on it as well as a chicklet

74
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:17,800
key design that was necessitated by the extreme slimness of the form factor of

75
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:22,560
this Notebook thank you for checking out our coverage of MSI's new flagship class
