less Tech tips coverage of computex 2017 is brought to you by the Corsair 1 and
0:05
Synergy check them out at the link in the video description we're here in the
0:09
MSI Booth checking out one of the coolest desktops that I've seen today
0:14
mind you this is only the second Booth we've seen but trust me that doesn't mean it's not cool it's dope it's called
0:19
the G25 because it's 2 1/2 L of internal
0:23
volume it weighs only 2.5 kg and it is
0:26
only 25 mm thin as they say so what have
0:32
they crammed inside here they've got an overclockable quadcore core i7 up to 64
0:39
GB of ddr4 memory with four sodium
0:43
expansion slots they've got up to dual m.2 ssds running in raid in addition to
0:49
a 2 and 1/2 in hard drive for actually tons of internal storage and this is the
0:55
kicker they've got a GTX 1070 mxm so
0:59
that's the most variant but with full desktop grade performance because
1:04
opening this puppy up you can actually see that the top like almost third of it
1:10
is taken up by three internal heat sinks
1:13
and somewhere between 8 and N heat pipes I was having a hard time counting them
1:18
because apparently while I'm allowed to take the panel off I'm not allowed to
1:23
take things apart in the MSI Booth anymore apparently I got people in
1:28
trouble at see PES and they won't let me do it but it's okay because I'm not
1:33
upset about that and I'm not salty you can tell from the tone of my
1:39
voice going back to the outside for a minute here we've got the full
1:43
complement of front I/O so your VR power as well as HDMI you got dual type a USB
1:48
3s as well as a type- c and analog audio out and then around at the back you've
1:53
got well power in yeah pretty beefy power in I think for a 1070 inside
1:58
optical audio out another HDMI you've got gigb Ethernet two more USBS and a
2:03
Thunderbolt 3 port for pretty much any expansion you'd want in terms of how you
2:07
deploy one of these you got a lot of options they've got an early sample of
2:11
kind of a bottom stand here so you could stand it up kind of like a a PlayStation
2:15
4 or it's got feet on the bottom here so
2:19
you could lay it down flat but watch your thermals because all the air intake
2:22
is on this side so if you lay it down flat obviously you're not going to have
2:26
quite as good an experience on the subject of experien is because of all
2:31
the power of this thing they've got it running a triple monitor demo over here
2:34
which has this like weird prototype like
2:38
bezel Eliminator optical illusion thing and over on the other side oh my God I'm
2:44
all over the road where they've got an unnamed
2:49
product that for now we're just going to call the MSI VR racing simulator or
2:55
something this thing is not going to come cheap it's going to be somewhere in
2:58
the neighborhood of5 up to $8,000 but it at least includes the vortex G25 that's
3:04
under the hood but basically this is MSI's attempt to show they can do more
3:09
than just a gaming PC box everything
3:12
about it even the software was written
3:16
by MSI for VR Gaming oh boy okay I think
3:21
I just crashed so then uh thanks for checking
