surprisingly professional giving its gamer roots but don't let it fool you this five pound laptop is packing hardware that would make most desktops blush with a GeForce rtx 2080 max q a six core Intel core i7 8750h 32 gigs of RAM and one terabyte of raid 0 m.2 SSD storage every single component of this machine is balls to the wall which should mean balls to the wall performance but can you possibly hope to cool all of that stuff in a chassis this thin are rtx cards even worth the extra cost in a laptop can Linus go for just one video without interrupting the flow of the content for a sponsor message the marlin screwdriver set from ifixit features five specialty precision screwdrivers check it out today at ifixit.com forward slash Linus so here's the thing see the performance of a laptop with one of NVIDIA's shiny new rtx laptop gpus will vary significantly depending on the cooling and the power available so you'll always get the same number of cuda and rtx cores but for the 2080 max-q in particular the base and the boost clocks can be all over the place laptop manufacturers can actually configure this particular card's power target to anything from 80 watts all the way up to over 150 watts that means and remember this is according to NVIDIA's spec that you could end up with a base clock of just 735 megahertz while a properly cooled one would be capable of boosting to over double that so what that means is that independent reviews of this generation of laptops are going to be even more important than ever before because you cannot compare between models based on the spec sheet alone so how did MSI then fare taming the beast fine i guess so under a stress test the CPU immediately jumped up to 100 degrees and was forced to throttle down until its turbo boost ran out and it settled in around 2.8 gigahertz sustained on all cores which might not sound amazing and it's not as good as it could be but it still kicks out a right impressive 1205 score in cinebench so mobile professionals take note but also stay tuned because we're going to go further in depth with that in a future video today's focus is mostly gaming since this is our first look at mobile rtx so let's change gears to 3dmark's new port royal test treating our eyeballs to some of the first real-time traced rays to come out of a laptop and this also gave us a moment to really appreciate the 17-inch 1080p display that MSI crammed into what it would have traditionally been a 15.6 inch laptop chassis and i gotta say their ips type panel delivers some damn good visuals at 144 hertz of course with the horsepower to back it up really only g-sync and factory calibration are notable missing features here i gotta say like just overall the industry i i love the move to these super slim bezel 17-inch displays the difference in immersion versus a 15.6 inch is palpable now back to the benchmark we got a score of about 4 000 which at face value meant basically nothing to me since this test hasn't been around for very long but then upon further investigation it turns out that it's roughly a third slower than a desktop rtx 2080 with a similar CPU and that lines up pretty nicely with the reduction in clock speed with the g75 landing around 1200 megahertz versus 1850 on the desktop card now i could show you guys a bunch more benchmarks of a desktop graphics card expectedly crushing a thin laptop but we figured it would be a lot more interesting to compare it to other thin and light gaming laptops which is why the gf75 is going to be taking on the gauntlet of zephyrus's zephyr zephyri for anyway with the max q versions of the gtx 1070 1080 and rtx 2080 all represented back in the port royal test the two rtx cards completely destroyed their gtx equivalents well partly because the test won't run on those cards but more interestingly the zephyrus gx701 pulled out a convincing lead in both the score and core clock achieved likely thanks to its superior cooling stay tuned for our full review of that little beast even more interestingly though in 3dmark's time spy benchmark the rtx cards absolutely wiped the floor with their last gen competitors churning out a result that is 30 faster than what we've ever seen in a thin laptop before and this kept up past the synthetics as well which is just great news for gamers the mobile rtx 2080 is a freaking beast max q design or no now the gs75 again wasn't quite able to keep up with the zephyrus gx701 but generally just by a couple to maybe about 5 FPS so MSI is leaving some performance on the table here perhaps this was in order to maintain a more conventional keyboard and trackpad layout or perhaps it was that they tuned it this way for acoustic reasons now the gs75 isn't silent but per NVIDIA's max q guidance it's quiet enough that it's not going to bother you while gaming and it's easily overpowered by its decent onboard speakers so overall the gs75 games really freaking well but what about the whole portability thing it is a laptop well as much as we're kind of tired of saying it but MSI just keeps making us repeat ourselves here the build quality here just isn't good enough for a machine that costs thousand dollars i can easily click the track pad by pushing the palm rest area and you can feel the machine flexing when you're picking it up like honestly the word we settled on here was flaccid um they do claw back some points with one of the best assortments of io that i've seen in quite some time with Thunderbolt 3 full-sized HDMI and Ethernet being the stars of the show although if you want to be a star you'll probably need a standalone camera as uh this one here isn't going to get to too many compliments on twitch but i look like 10 years younger which is nice look at that smoothing maybe our biggest gripe about the gs75 though is the trackpad it is glass topped which is good but the flex of the chassis removes any chance of it having a solid clicky feel and although i like where MSI was going with the size using up almost all of the available vertical space and giving it this extra horizontal width they somehow went too far making it really hard to type without ending up with a palm resting on the track pad causing accidental activations and when i brought up these issues at ces MSI's reply was well the track pad turns off when you plug in a mouse and although i do expect the average user of the gs75 to regularly have a mouse plugged in it's kind of like dropping your dog off with a friend when you go on vacation and saying well oliver won't [ __ ] in your house at all as long as you've got him outside when he needs to so i just i never thought i'd say this but until MSI can get their palm rejection way better they should stick to smaller track tabs now as mentioned above the worst part of the keyboard is actually still the track pad but once that is disabled it's actually pretty good the keys have a nice long stroke with decent feel overall and my only real gripes here are about the layout and they're pretty small ones i just think that these keys up here could have been better used as dedicated home and end or media control keys with that said they can be remapped so yeah removing the bottom of the device we're greeted by an impressive 82 watt hour battery which given the power in here is not gonna be letting you work cordless all day but if you treat it nicely and you're not running games or heavy software it gets you a pretty darn solid five hours of work time then past the battery we've got access to three m.2 SSD slots making for very easy storage expansion and RAM that is well it's technically upgradable but if you're like oh gee where are the dim slots ah it's the same thing we were wondering so our unit has both of the sodium slots filled already and if we did want to change them out we'd actually have to remove everything to get to the other side of the motherboard bring us to the bottom line should you buy one of these now you will be getting one of the fastest gaming laptops on the market faster than anything that was released in 2018 by a fair margin and compared to the zephyrus you get more RAM for three hundred dollars less on an otherwise identically spec'd system but the zephyrus in the real world is faster and it has g-sync and factory panel calibration along with noticeably higher build quality also maybe i'm off base here but in my mind by the time you're spending three thousand dollars i feel like it's not that much of a stretch to go a little bit further to 3300 which is why i am not recommending that you buy this laptop but instead recommending that you buy this laptop except for 2 300 to make that happen you do need to drop the specs a bit but there should be more than enough cooling for an rtx 2070 in here 16 gigs of RAM fits the needs of most people and at that price i am much more willing to let slide some of my gripes about the build quality in exchange for the
