LTT it's the simple vpn
0:07
so we're here in the MSI suite where they are showing off the ge63
0:13
raider RGB edition now RGB including RGB
0:18
keyboards isn't anything new to MSI but
0:22
this guy which isn't due out for i mean at least three to five months
0:27
something along those lines has some pretty cool stuff built into it first
0:31
let's do just kind of a basic quick overview we've already got it unplugged
0:34
so we may as well show you guys around you got your sd reader you got your usb
0:38
you've got your ooh they've got a new cooling solution built into this which
0:42
basically amounted to a redesigned fin design for the fans and more heat pipes
0:46
they're calling that cooler boost five so you can see some of the heatsink fins
0:49
right here right here right here and uh wow right here so that is a lot of metal
0:54
built into that thing you got Ethernet HDMI 2.0 mini displayport usb and
1:00
Thunderbolt with four pci express lanes so you could hook it up to an external
1:03
graphics card but you might not need to because this thing will be available
1:07
with anything from a 1050 ti all the way up to a gtx 1070. somewhere in the 1500
1:12
to 2 000 price point but one of the special things they've done here is
1:16
really in the software so it's got a game sense compatible keyboard meaning
1:20
that you can configure it to show your ammo or your health with the RGB
1:24
lighting actually the RGB on the back is game sense compatible as well so let's
1:28
say you and your whole clan are set up side by side you could have it go from
1:32
green to yellow to red to off as you guys lose health and die
1:36
i mean i'm personally into configuring my RGB to like reflect the poorness of
1:40
how well i'm doing so that's pretty cool and then in terms of other features
1:44
keyboard is pretty typical fair for MSI and oh right hardware so unclear whether
1:50
it'll be g-sync or not but it's available with either a 1080p 120 hertz
1:54
panel or 4k 60hz we need 4k 120
1:58
that can't come soon enough and the internals now i don't know if i'm
2:02
allowed to do this so i'm going to do it really quickly before anyone stops me but if you open up task manager
2:19
you got to be kidding me so for some reason i can't imagine why somebody came
2:24
over and took that laptop from me on a totally unrelated note there's a
2:28
new version of the vortex so the gaming version we've shown you guys before with
2:33
the core i7 and the up gtx 1070 but this
2:37
one right here has an undisclosed
2:41
Intel future xeon processor in it
2:45
that i would speculate is probably based
2:48
on coffee lake which as we know from the desktop variants goes up to six core
2:53
so if that were to happen that would be pretty cool and to round out the
2:58
workstation-ness of it it is also going to be shipping sometime later this year
3:03
with an undisclosed NVIDIA quadro
3:07
mobile graphics solution so i would
3:10
speculate based on what i know about pascal and its naming scheme we could be
3:14
looking at something like a v5000 either way this is going to be a
3:19
super slick super sexy and super powerful workstation up to six cores up
3:24
to 64 gigs of ecc memory and quadro
3:28
graphics so thanks to tunnelbear for allowing us
