WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.640 Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:09.599 trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.679 is nc.com so we're checking out some MSI 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:19.600 systems here that are looking pretty freaking crazy so number one is the gt70 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:23.400 dragon Edition 2 extreme so what makes a notebook extreme you might ask I would 00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:27.840 answer well the fact that it has an Intel cor i7 extreme Edition inside that 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 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 00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:42.600 third answer might be that it has what they're calling their exclusive super 00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:46.480 Raid 2 which is three MSA ssds in raid 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:48.800 zero and a 750 GB hard drive for mass 00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:54.480 storage and last but not least with their cooler boost to as well as their 00:00:52.000 --> 00:01:00.760 special hybrid power design this notebook is capable of overclocking that 00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:05.680 normally 3 GHz core i7 exam Edition all the way up to 00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:07.680 4.1 GHz what you do is you boot it up 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:12.680 with a special hotkey and you can actually run it at significantly higher 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:15.960 clock speeds now this is going to exceed the amount of power that a device like 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 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 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 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 00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:38.759 Notebook battery to boost it up so you can maintain that extremely high 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:44.439 performance level regardless of anything else it uses a 17.3 in full HD screen 00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:49.960 and there is definitely more to come in terms of cool MSI notebook stay tuned 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.759 I've been complaining for so long that displays are not high resolution enough 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:59.640 what is the freaking excuse for being able to put a 1080p display on this and 00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:04.920 only being able to put a 1080 display wait hold on this isn't a 1080p 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:07.039 display this is a 3K Edition so what 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 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 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 00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:24.040 display is significantly sharper so what 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 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 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:39.560 633k it also features a core i7 extreme Edition processor it's got 16 gigs of 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:43.519 DDR3 memory an NVIDIA gForce GTX 780m 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.959 graphics card with 4 gigs of gddr5 RAM 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 00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:53.959 you increase the resolution this is what everyone's been afraid to do for so long 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:58.680 when you increase the resolution you increase the hardware requirement in 00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:03.280 order to drive it and actually have a great gaming experience 00:03:00.519 --> 00:03:07.480 on the device so they had to put in all that Graphics memory because as you 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:11.680 increase resolution you need more vram to buffer the textures that you require 00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:15.440 now you also get some other cool functionality with a GTX 780 check out 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.959 these three displays that are running right here all three of them are 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:23.599 actually running off of this display so it has support for NVIDIA's 3 plus one 00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:29.239 so that is NVIDIA surround over three displays with an auxiliary display 00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:32.560 giving you up to four display outputs 00:03:29.239 --> 00:03:35.560 off of single notebook so this is a 15.5 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.200 in model and honestly this is sort of 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:41.200 just the beginning here so we still got the steel series multi backlit keyboard 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 00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:50.040 great and fine and interesting but check this 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:53.319 out this is a whole new concept when it 00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:57.040 comes to gaming notebooks it's slim it's 00:03:53.319 --> 00:04:00.680 gorgeous it's aluminum and it is a 17.3 00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:03.400 in gaming notebook with a GTX 765 5 m a 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:08.560 core i7 it's got that same super raid technology we talked about before and 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 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:17.840 do my trademark cell phone size comparison here to give you guys some 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:24.000 idea so you're going to see outputs on the side you got Ethernet HDMI dual 00:04:20.359 --> 00:04:25.479 DisplayPort USB 3 as well as audio 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 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 00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:41.080 bottom of it fully aluminum on the bottom of it as well so ventilation 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 00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:50.759 the GTX 765m if you were looking for a 00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:53.440 notebook that is stylish as well as high 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 00:04:55.039 --> 00:05:02.199 screen then you definitely want the size then you may not have to look any 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.039 further than the gs70 from MSI can you 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:07.280 see the backlit keyboard from the side here so it's a bit of a redesigned 00:05:05.880 --> 00:05:11.919 backlit keyboard there's a different type face on it as well as a chicklet 00:05:09.400 --> 00:05:17.800 key design that was necessitated by the extreme slimness of the form factor of 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:22.560 this Notebook thank you for checking out our
