thank you to debrand for debranding Brands check them out in the link in the description down below we're here at
0:04
EVGA checking out the sc15 you might be familiar with the sc7 which is their
0:10
previous 17-inch laptop that they launched at maybe last year's CES I'm
0:14
pretty sure that's correct they have now lowered the landscape of the screen made
0:18
it a bit cheaper hopefully it's going to range from maybe somewhere between
0:22
$1,500 and $1,700 they haven't finalized their price quite yet and that screen
0:26
that I just mentioned will be 1080p g-sync HZ IPS all running on a GTX 1060
0:34
remember the 1060 that's in here is the same as a desktop class 1060 so you
0:39
should be completely fine for a huge range of games at 1080P and a lot of
0:43
them should actually get relatively close to that 120 HZ setting if you're
0:47
playing things like probably rocket league and whatnot on the CPU side of
0:50
things they went ham they have a new kbl Lake 7700hq paired with 16 gigs of RAM a
0:56
1 TB hard drive and a 256 G gab Samsung
1:01
m.2 SSD below that screen is their chicklet
1:05
keyboard which features RGB LEDs because it has to it's 2017 it must feature RGB
1:12
LEDs on the back of the screen there's a white LED lighting up the EVGA logo and
1:16
that can be turned off if you don't want light coming out of the back of your laptop on the left hand side you have
1:21
power which runs to their relatively large power adapter an Ethernet port
1:25
headphone and microphone jacks and two USB 3 ports on the right hand side you
1:29
have mini DisplayPort HDMI 2.0 USB
1:33
type-c Gen 2 10 GB and a singular USB 3
1:37
Port jumping around here a little bit at the top of the screen you have a 720p
1:41
webcam on the wrist rest you have two
1:44
speakers two channel speakers and then on the keyboard on the arrow keys up and
1:49
down if you hold the function key and press those you will either overclock or
1:53
underclock your graphics cards down arrow pulls the clock speed down up
1:57
Arrow pulls the clock speed up in terms of cooling features two fans in the top
2:01
left and top right hand corner of the laptop they both pull air in from the
2:05
top and the bottom of the laptop simultaneously and then eject the hot
2:09
air right out the back and then on the bottom of the laptop there's a layer of
2:14
foam which seems weird at first and it's really bad at transferring heat but that
2:18
is the point and that's what makes it good it's trying to not transfer heat
2:22
down to your legs when you use the laptop on your well lap hence the name
2:27
and that's nice because then it can just focus on all the hot air out the back
2:31
which is not on your lap which is not in the name the foam mat would prohibit
2:35
them from allowing little small access panels to all the different things that
2:39
you can change in a laptop like this but they've just made it so that the entire
2:43
bottom panel comes off at once and that makes it so you can access your 2 and 1
2:47
12 in drives your m.2 drive your RAM all that kind of stuff it's all accessible
2:51
down there which is great the sc5 might not weigh as much or have as many
2:56
screens or have as big of keys as
2:59
certain other laptops that we've seen at the show so far but it's like actually
3:03
reasonable and makes sense so I mean that's genuinely cool I mean what you
3:08
guys think in the comments down below um as for us thanks for dbrand for sending
3:12
us here to CES 2017 they have skins that are like pretty cool like they they look
3:17
better than stuff like this they look like that or like this which is great
3:21
this is their new marble skin which like everyone at the laptop tried to get
3:24
everyone at the laptop everyone at the company tried to get on their laptops
3:28
that we got for Christmas which was pretty cool I got a purple one because I
3:32
name all my computers after Pokemon and I'm going to make it Haunter but you
3:35
know there's that also if you buy one that isn't this thing you can get $1
3:41
shipping anywhere in the world I want you to challenge that try to find
3:46
somewhere where they won't ship it
