Alex: "So the charger is 240 watts"
Me: "Damn,that's a lot"
Alex: "That's less than I expected"
Me: "Fucking puny,disgusting"
Legion 300w tho, but not USB C brick
i cant believe you've done this
Unacceptable. UnAcCePTABLEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

@@superkoopatrooper4879 My Zephyrus G14 charger is almost half that and charges in 50 mins tops if doing heavy gaming; lasts 14 hours of productivity work. Ryzen + 3060 combo is an efficiency beast plus almost on par with desktop
me crying with 45 watt
MSI's hardware always looks amazing, but their software and driver support on my two laptops from them was abominable. I don't plan to give them a third chance, definitely not on a work machine.
Got a old ish msi laptop for personal stuff and I totally agree but at work we use Alienware and my god.. we make it work but so many annoying little things
This needs more thumbs up because their software is so 2015 and made by a high schooler while other laptop startups like xmg already have much better software experience.
I agree about the good hardware and terrible support.
If you buy MSI, pray that you wont need warranty repairs.
@@hubertnnn have to add that my experience with MSI outside of warranty was very good. I was able to buy a new battery get it shipped with install instructions and a confirmation email asking how it went. And this was 3 years ago on a now 6 year old laptop.
@@sainsay my experience was mixed: They wanted me to send the first laptop in for an overheating issue, and returned it with the mainboard from the next model up. They also wanted me to send my laptop in for a touchpad driver issue... I declined.
Quiet boy wins in my books. I'd give up a few frames for the quiet, better speakers and larger trackpad with sturdier frame.
Hands down
Thing is you can generally make the other ones quieter just by setting the GPU limit to what the GS uses. My laptop goes to 130W on the 3060 but I can also just set it to 105W which is what most laptops the same size use and it's much quieter. So can look at the full power as more of a turbo mode then
@@simster2759 yeah you can do that but then it doesn't even get much better over the better built one
The thicker does not need a better:
keyboard - regular mechanic wireless keyboard with big WSAD and arrows,
display - because 4K 32" monitor,
stiffness - sits on the "Outer Rim" of your desk,
speakers - you have connected headphones or speakers by BOSE, Harman Kardon, or other JBL,
trackpad - you just use a gaming mouse, gaming laptops if don't travel don't need trackpads at all
battery - it pulls the power from the wall,
slim and thin and whatnot because most of its mobile character is in ranges of "will be carried to your friend or your girlfriend".
In terms of playing games when traveling, the owner of GP66 will use 399$ Steam Deck with a changed SSD.
could not agree more. quiet always wins. i am so sick of loud fabs i want to puke
It's hard for me to listen through my earbuds when playing games, my laptop's fan's pretty loud. Would go for the quieter one too.
I feel like MSI’s entire design language as of late is heavily inspired by HP’s Spectre line of devices. Glad to see something new..
If u keep up with the designs then u see that every type of concept from what brand u have then u will see everyone has a design from one brand that already exists
Wait, what?
How on earth?
when laptops get dd5 and 40 series then ill buy a laptop until then, nothing special
More like Lenovo Legion for internal board layout.
@@Dangerousm1ndz closer to an omen on this one
Love how short circuit basically brings back the old old classic LTT unboxing videos.
Including the "dropping stuff"
@@QualityDoggo Linus' ability is contagious
As much as I love Engineering Alex. Chaos Alex is great to watch too.
Facts, Alex is always legendary
Engineering Alex is always chaotic though
That's his secret, he's always Chaos Alex
@@IanMustafa Eh, the difference between chaotic good/neutral and chaotic evil is smaller than most think.
Today, Alex chose Chaos.
8:55 Thats why we need LTT to make a huge list of almost all the new laptops tested by them with fps graphs...
yes
yes, how does he know one is 150w and other 105w... never seen them stats pointed out anywhere... powerbrick? Nah convinced they use same... +200 smth
Yeah like Jarrod Does
@@gamerdweebentertainment1616 GPU max TGP is listed by MSI. You should never buy a gaming laptop without knowing the gpu wattage as that will affect the performance dramatically in some cases. There are ultra thin laptops with 3080s and 80 watt tgps that will perform much worse than 3070s with better wattage
Jarrod's Tech already has a full list of every laptop he has tested just go there. Or hardware unboxed generally has more detail that LTT too.
As for how they know GPU power generally listed and also as the tester with the device can just run software to see GPU power. Higher GPU power almost always means faster in gaming laptops so fairly easy to judge. Except for weird cases of CPU throttles
In my head I lean toward the Stealth.
But I bought a Legion 5 Pro… so I would probably put the Stealth in my cart, stare at it, then buy the Vector.
IMO i love the design of MSI laptops, but they are so flimsy you have to treat them like glass. I realize he says that's been improved, but improved doesn't mean fixed IMO. I think for it to be this thin with these components they need to give a metal chassis a shot
MSI postions themselves as a value brand, or at least used to when I bought a gaming laptop from them back in 2017. I remember choosing between an MSI and an HP laptop with the same CPU and GPU, and the MSI was a couple hundred dollars cheaper.
The GS series has always been metal afaik!
I bought a MSI GL75 laptop, because it was a bit cheaper than the ASUS alternative, and I 1000% regret it. Just keeping it in a soft laptop bag, the chassis and screen is so flexible it squished the screen in so there is a huge scuff from the stupid ridge thing at the bottom of the keyboard, all the way across the screen. And whoever laid out the keyboard needs to be fired with prejudice, it is, without a doubt, the worst layout I have ever seen. Its also quite loud, and comes with tons of bloatware. My first and last MSI laptop.
MSI's high-end workstation laptops with durable build are "Creator" series - M16, Z16, and Z17. This "GS" is a mid-range gaming lineup for budget conscious consumers. So of course build quality is not the highest priority.
For that money I would expect an magnesium backcover with captive screws, like other cheaper laptops use.
0:37 reminds me of the reasons why I choose MSI for my motherboard.
Was it the warranty? No. Was it the price to performance? No. Was it the PCB layout? No. Was it the quality of the MOSFETS and VRMs? No. Was it the I/O capacity? No. Was it the amount of PCI lanes? No. Was it the quality of the heat sinks? No.
Was it because of _Lucky the Dragon is adorable?_ *YES*
I love how they have a whole team of writers then hosts just guess at the specs and leave it up to the editors to put the real specs on screen
The whole point of shortcircuit is that it's unscripted and takes less work to put together. Just off the cuff impressions on stuff, no writing involved
The unscripted-ness of it, is what I appreciate. It’s a real first impression, not swayed by what they planned out to say in each segment.
I’d argue that specs aren’t really writing tho
It’s a list and a bit of research, but it’s not that much work to have “2.5gb Ethernet” and some other dot points
Thank You Jono!
Good luck on Your way!
I love the comparison between the two laptops in the Forza benchmark, it's probably one of the best examples that I've seen lately of two laptops that have different specs, different CPU, different RAM, different Motherboard, same GPU with different wattage, and they ended up pretty similar in performance. Obviously each one is going to have it's advantage at something though.
Fan noise is a super important criterion
The really did pull back on the gamer aesthetics, I feel like the old Lambo badge might stop it being taken seriously in the workplace though, I'd swap it for "MSI" logo that's at the bottom of the screen but then I've never liked the badge.
The MSI Modern series is a great example of a more serious looking MSI machine. Then again, it is aimed at business customers so that makes sense. Oddly enough it doesn't feature a numpad though.....
Dbrand that shit.
The last time I bought an MSi laptop that you recommended, I needed to get an RMA, and MSi left me out to dry. They wouldn’t respond to e-mails, they blocked me on social media, ended phone calls while I was on hold… I didn’t even express anger to them. Disappointment, yes. But I wasn’t offensive, I was just in a predicament because they sent me a defective product and wouldn’t ship it to Japan when I’d be living there by the time they’d receive the GS70 Stealth Pro 2QE.
To the other viewers, I strongly recommend against buying MSi’s laptops. I hope they’ve changed as a company, but if they haven’t, they don’t support their most premium products.
Bro, if your use case involves "sending replacement to an entirely different country" you're going to be disappointed. Laptop makers are not concierges.
@@ssl3546 Unfortunately yeah, except for *maybe* Apple
@@planefan082 I’ve had fantastic support from Apple tbh.
@@ssl3546 $1700 system, bought in America, shipped with a dead pixel and a bottom shell that could be clicked and not tightened flush. I had two months before I left the country, and I spent them trying to get an RMA while I was still here. They still led me to dead-ends by hanging up when I was on hold. I’d get close to support, be put on hold, then the call would drop.
@@zizimugen4470 Yep. Not my favourite brand but their support is still quite good.
i have the MSI GS65 8SF from 2019 and its been a fantastic machine and still going strong
Glad to see laptops getting really great features and performance, I stopped using desktop pc years ago cause of setup hassle. Love you videos and humor, hand lube had me laughing hard
I love the collective "woah" when the bare copper heatpipes are revealed. I agree that they really are pretty and have the extra benefit of (likely) not costing the manufacturer any more since there's no need to paint them.
I use a GP66 Leopard for work. It is pretty good. The fan sound can be fun in the office when I use GPU heavy stuff and everyone starts prepping their passports before the boarding the plane, but it is plenty powerful.
Though in real world use, it sorely needs a cooling stand. The fans are not powerful enough to actually cool the system properly despite the earshattering sounds.
The keys are comfortable, although in my hungarian layout the ' í ' is placed in a rather unusual place and a ' 1 ' keycap fell off early on (I was able to push it back finally).
The CPU is enough for what I use it for, the GPU (3070) is good enough for most stuff and is a huge step up from my old 980, so no complaints there, the 16GB ram is a bit slim but if Alex's insight into upgradability is anything to go by I might be able to convince my boss after the warranty period to up to maybe even 64? That'd be sick. The battery is only there to help me not lose progress in the rare occasion of power loss, other than functioning as a USP, it's not juicy enough to use it for more than an hour in medium workloads. Could maybe squeeze out 2 hours if I optimized it a little more.
Regardless, with the experience of this machine, I'd probably buy the GP66 vector for myself if I had the funds...
Love this
You guys should do more laptops
I'd go the stealth because of the screen size. When I upgraded from a 15" to a 17" it was amazing, not sure I could go back.
Jono, we wish you all the luck on your way!
I actually got the GS66 with i7-1200k for work this past week specifically because of the TDP of the GPU and the lack of rainbow puke. The fingerprint reader is one of my favorite parts right behind how nice the build quality is. I originally wanted a Razer blade because of the rigid durability, but the GS66 is right on par while still being light enough to carry around. The 2.5 Gb ethernet port is also great for network management and engineering purposes. 9/10 great engineering work laptop for the money.
I recently picked up the MSI Delta 15 AMD Advantage laptop and really love it.
One of the things I love about my ThinkPad X1 carbon is the built in webcam cover.
@Rac3r4Life:
Do you have one of the X1 laptops that has soldered-onto-the-motherboard Ram? If you do, you're going to be in a pickle, because Ram *does* fail, and when yours does (IF it ever does. And let's hope it doesn't :-( ), you're going to have essentially a fancy paperweight.
(It's one of the reasons why I don't-like laptops with soldered components (such as soldered-onto-the-motherboard Ram, soldered-onto-the-motherboard internal-storage, soldered-onto-the-motherboard WiFi card, soldered-onto-the-motherboard processor, etcetera). It makes a laptop less-Fixable/less-Repairable/less-User-Friendly).
(Same thing goes with an internal battery. Less user-friendly (and less-easier to "disconnect and remove" like the laptops-of-old with externally-accessible batteries (examples: Toshiba Satellite A40-SP151. ASUS P43E-XH31. Thinkpad T420. Etcetera)), and all that heat generated by the battery, stuck next-to the SSD chips, but-also stuck-next to the Ram chips, but-also stuck-next to the Processor chips, and concentrating all that heat-inside the laptop can't-be-good).
:-(
@@reoencarcelado5904 RAM has a very low failure rate, for one. Also, I have a 4 year service plan on the laptop. By that point I'll be ready to buy another. It's a $2500 computer that I use for my business to make money, so the extra couple hundred the extended warranty cost was basically irrelevant to me. So it is not something I am worried about.
It's also a tradeoff you need to make. Soldered ram chips allow the laptop to be thinner and lighter. It also allows cooling on the RAM chips. There's also a great benefit to the speed of the memory. The fastest DDR4 SoDIMM's are 3,200Mhz. With soldered RAM you can have much higher speeds and lower timings. My RAM operates at 4400Mhz with 20-20-20-45 clocks.
Finally, my last computer, a Surface Pro 4, also had soldered RAM. It is several years old and it is still going strong. While I understand your point, I don't see any problem with it. I also wouldn't say anyone else should worry too much about it. The amount of people who's RAM fails outside of the warranty period is so small it's basically irrelevant. RAM that fails prematurely tends to do so within a very short time after it's in use. If it makes it past a year it will most likely outlive the useful life of the computer. The only thing to make sure you do is get the amount of RAM you need at the time of purchase. I personally maxed the RAM in my X1 so I don't need to worry about running out as programs use more and more.
But not every boss is like Linus & is cool with stuff like this. The company my dad works for is very specific on what he’s allowed to purchase through the company. Also, 240W is still within the USB4 spec for maximum power delivery over Type-C.
Sounds like that company sucks.
Eh there are good reasons for this. Both security and repair consistency once you are deploying laptops at scale.
Thats good thing since there is lower chance he will be persuaded by sponsored videos like this one.
If in sponsored video they need to say that keyboard is "acceptable" you can be sure it isnt. There is also a reason why it isnt compared to any competition at that price point.
it isn't compared because this isn't a review, it is a showcase, exactly because it is sponsored.
also they are legally not allowed to say things they do not agree with, even if it is sponsored, which means that if Alex says the keyboard's fine, he means what he says.
LTT have been very transparent about these things for years now
@@robertlinke2666 he said "acceptable" so it is "acceptable". He didnt even say that its fine. Take what you want out of it but I find it funny that people will belive anything and will throw stuff like "legally allowed" - yeah he agrees that it is acceptable, is it a good thing?
"they are transparent" - yeah they told you it is sponsored because it is required by law.
I hope you are at least more critical to reviews of things you actually want to buy because someone will screw you big time with that attitude.
I've bought 2022 MSI GP76 12UGS and I love it! Although my laptop has some heat issue and a bit of flickering, as my first ever gaming laptop, it has been so good! The new all metal chasis for 2022 for GP line up is a very good addition too for sturdyness. I normally use my laptop as desktop replacement for my oversea college life, so I went with GP76 for more power. Upgradability is nice touch too.
Nice! Bought the same a week ago love it!
as usual top-notch video, but what was up with the mic on Alex this time? It sounds off, like it's both too near and too far away :o
Is this the last ShortCircuit video Jono worked on or is there a nother one coming? Either way I think we all gonna miss ya.
One of my favorite (or "favourite" if you're in the UK) parts of this and any other ShortCircuit "unboxing" video: the Crab-Rave part :-)
P.S. Is it just me, or are there any other people that move to the beat of the Crab-Rave song?
Amazing video. I have a request!
It'd be nice if you guys could take a look at their hinges and how the one connected to the back of the laptop is just a metal sticking to plastic. They fail a lot, unfortunately, and you guys would be the only ones out there to address this, and maybe MSI would fix it.
I gotta say, the thumb reachable '\' key on MSI keyboards are amazing for anyone who does anything programming or has to type in file locations on windows.
I'd take the GP66...since my laptop serves as a low profile desktop, I have external mouse, keyboard and monitor connected....I've had my current laptop for about 2 years and can probably count on one hand how many times I've used the trackpad on it
I feel like a chance was missed here to turn this into " HOW TO Trick your boss into buying one of these!" all we want to see is you getting Linus to buy expensive stuff = D
I'd probably go with the Vector. Cheaper, 1080p resolution means it'll stay relevant longer for gaming, and smaller size makes it a bit more portable.
Hey LTT, great reviews as always, i follow you since the beginning from Italy xD you're my reference reviewer! I know this is short circuit, but would be great if in the main channel you could do a long term review of the most popular laptop brands. The idea came from me reading a lot of comments about msi support....and it's something you can't see in early reviews. The question is: which of these brands are the best in long term? Could be a great video..you have so much experience that could guide a buyer! I know you're very busy, just an idea. Love, Matteo
I have a gp66 from msi and the power brick still amazes people with how big it is, lol
lol, me too. And people always asks me "Why is it always charging?" XD
+1
@@jimmyn8607 haha yup, i have mine set to best battery health so it only charges to 60% and it has to be plugged in all the time otherwise it will die in like 5 min lol
are you happy with it? How's the fan-noise? someone is selling one in my area for 1000 dollars, but I can't have the fans kicking up when I'm at work.
I would buy the GS77 if it had a MUX switch, the GPU was higher wattage, and the screen had FreeSync+GSync. Hoping MSI add those to next year’s revision if I haven’t bought a Legion 5 Pro by then…
wouldn't that be too much to ask?
How stupid to both want a mux, and a free/gsync screen. You won't be using both at the same time
@@Ryne4S Not for the price they’re asking for.
Also increasing the wattage seems feasible since it’s pretty silent and cool at the current wattage. MUX switch was part of the specs when it was unveiled at CES but didn’t make it to the released product for some reason.
@@suitknol6604 How stupid to call others stupid when you know less than they do. FreeSync is to work with Optimus when MUX switch is disabled. G-Sync is for when MUX switch is enabled. The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro does exactly this.
Wait so they get to use the same stage for the three different channels (LTT, Techlinked and Shortcircuit) and could have recording times at the same moment? That is kinda funny that they actually kept it on the vid.
We've been using the GF65 Thin For some corp customers 2020 to now. 180 W AC, mix of GPU depending on available model , gtx 1060, gtx 1660 ti, and RTX 3060.
Ok, so the last time I bought a laptop in the US, the first step was to "remove the box", literally. I think MSI is skipping on crucial details.
I’d like to take a moment to thank you guys for pursuing the highest integrity of journalism possible with your work. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to share useful, unbiased information and you all do a very good job of maintaining integrity. To everyone who works at LTT; you represent the best of our digitalized society (freedom of information).
I d like to see more reviews like this, including low-mid tier gaming laptop benchmarks, temps and noise comparison.
Love the 'color mixing' cap design
I actually bought an MSI laptop for business use a few years ago. Specs were great for the money, but drivers were garbage out of the box. Speakers sounded terrible and headset never worked right. Uninstalling the crappy drivers made things better, but still not great... Battery failed in the machine extremely quickly as well... Would NOT recommend...
Had the same experience, drivers were crap and the battery died in under a year and the Replacement battery didnt hold much longer. For the price I paid... nope never ever MSI again for me. XMG makes the most reliable Laptops imo. Their driver support is insanely good and the BIOS has much more options than I ever saw on a Laptop.
The GP66 is a fingerprint magnet, its imposible to keep clean. but it looks so cool
only had one minor problem, it gets so hot that i think the plastic bezel of the screen melted (deformed) when the lid was closed, but it is barley visible (only in reflections)
wait, and that is even with the extra cooling over the gs77? yikes
plastic bezel screen melted when the lid closed is unforgivable for me, since I'm using my laptop like a pc (lid closed all the time)... good thing that omen 15 have some gap between screen and body (which is one of bad point from most reviewer on omen 15, now I'm thankful for it)
@@robertlinke2666 the heatsinks are on the bottom, but the top is made from metal so all the keyboard area gets very hot
The entire laptop is one big heatsink and you could probably burn your fingers if you touch the metal around the keyboard
@@dedoyxp It is a minor bump, but it did scare me because i only had it for 3 weeks.
I was planning to do the same with closed lid, but i wont risk it
how is it treating you? good battery life? how are the fans? I can't have them kicking up too much right away if I'm using the laptop in public like when I'm at work on break.
I admire the chaotic energy of this unboxing video.
“Hey Linus, new video idea. I get a C8 Corvette. That’s it.”
I 100% support this fantastic video idea.
I like Alex's video idea. He should definitely get a C8. This would be an interesting video and I endorse this 100%
I enjoyed that a wild Riley appeared halfway through the show
The best thing about MSI laptops and mainboards is the advanced BIOS that lets you modify anything and everything.
In my new GP66 Leopard, I have the i7-11800H running at 4.6 GHz on all cores, so it's always bit faster than similarly spec'ed laptops. I have it undervolted by 92 mV so it can run at much lower temperatures, keeping high clocks longer and using less energy, up to 20 watts at full load: more power left for the GPU. I have bigger, faster XMP RAM installed for my RAM disks that I use for temporary files and browser cache and which get to 13 GB/s read and 19 GB/s write.
An MSI machine will always let you do those things easily without any BIOS modding and reflashing while those by most other manufacturers won't.
Also, this laptop's fans are actually pretty nice sounding. They are far less intrusive at the same speeds compared with many others. At high speeds, they sound more like a car engine than a jet engine.
cut a hole in the bottom cover and glue on some old northbridge heatsinks to the heatpipes and build aluminum kickstand then enjoy all the extra turbo mode
With that unboxing, you missed a prime opportunity to say TIME! at the end. This was so much like AvE's BOLTR unboxing Vijahos
Minus the shmooo. Glad to see another classy individual here.
Great video as always, but I have a suggestion, when you're measuring audio from laptops to see which one is better can you use a calibrated measurement mic like what was done in this video: th-cam.com/video/LkYB931iUjc/w-d-xo.html , this way us viewers can get a better idea of how good these speakers are
actually I did like the clarification around 12:54. as much as I like Alex's presentation style, he can get pretty hand-wavy sometimes and just dismiss something as "gonna have a bad time" without getting into specifics.
Managed to persuade my boss to get me the MSI Katana GF66, which has the i7-11800H and RTX 3060 in. That's about as far as I could push it for frontend web development. Wish I'd managed to get him to go with the Stealth though. Really impressed with MSI.
Random other people chiming in during these videos always puts a smile on my face. Riley barging in for Techlinked Time^TM was especially great
"It's not USB-C, this thing's way too powerful for it to be USB-C"
*Proceeds to quote exactly how much power the USB-C standards can reach these days.*
There isn’t a single 240w usb c charger anywhere yet
@Carl Gunderson Incorrect. It's part of the USB Power Delivery standard version 3.1. 48V at 5A = 240W. You don't even need new cables; the ones that you used for 100W USB-PD charging are just fine.
That said, and as Crestofhonor points out, there isn't much out there in the real world. Not quite zero, though. SlimQ has a 240W charger for sale, and Oppo has demoed a phone (yes, a PHONE!) with 240W charging; 0 to 100% in nine minutes.
@ The 240Watt charger is only the DC not via USB-C. These are their specs:
Output Type-C1/C2: Max 100W 5V⎓3A / 9V⎓3A / 12V⎓3A / 15V⎓3A / 20V⎓3A / 20V⎓5A / 5V⎓4.5A / 4.5V⎓5A
Output DC：Max 240W 20V⎓12A
@@baakster I know they're not using USB-C to charge. I just said that they COULD have used it for a 240W charger, but it would have had to be 48V at 5A rather than 20V at 12A.
I'd go for the one with the nicer speakers... Sound is such an important part of enjoying media be it games or movies/tv
1:11 Camera block is a start. However, when does the microphone block comes? More important than being able to see you whenever is being able to hear you whenever!
I would never buy MSI again, great product and all, but driving any of these for a long time is a pain. No support, shitty software, and most of the time they don't meet up to expectations. (Take my Prestige 14 being advertised with 12 hours of battery life yet watching 1080p F1 races on battery lasts only 2-3 hours on "Super Battery" mode) Not recommended.
I am thinking this for years now: Dell should make Alienwares with XPS aesthetic.
You're basically describing the Precision 5570, if they sold that with a GeForce GPU instead of a Quadro.
Like Dell is smart enough to do something like that.
@@qupada42 Just that the Quadros are worse than the RTX Mobile Chips
the fan noise is a lot even over the internet happy to see a dcip3 screen option also how about plugged in vs unplugged performance since some windows laptops change a lot with that
nice looking laptop! I use a razerblade 15 late 2020 model with a 1660ti and an i7 10750h and it's still powering through games at 1080p 120hz. It's nothing compared to my desktop but i work 12 hour nights and that laptop has saved me many long boring nights (I'm a security guard) plus the fact i got it used off amazon for a fraction of the price made it more worthwhile. Not got any experience with an MSI laptop but i can say despite the hate Razer get i've never had any issues with their products and always found the build and quality to be far better than most.
I got my boss to buy us $5,000 Lenovo Thinkpad laptops for work.
I work in the event industry, video walls, presentations, lighting. It's about $3000 more than he needed to spend for that sort of work.
You're a good employee! Could have been honest though. As a CTO/CIO I often purchased devices more powerful than they had to be for my employees if it made them happy. But I knew it.
IMHO a Framework would be a better laptop to convince your work to purchase. I am not saying this because of the Linus Media Group being a major shareholder, but because of the easy repairability should the laptops get damaged. Heck, it would be great if schools invested in them as well.
LOL @ major shareholder…
That's true. If you can justify needing a discrete GPU then Frameworks aren't cutting it
Have had a GS75 Stealth for a number of years now. Still love it to death.
At 8:08 "If ya look a little closelier!" lol.
I think these devices could do well for gaming on the go. Maybe keep the clocks at base level (not the gaming clocks they have) reduce the refresh rate to 60hz most likely, make it 1080p, and lower whatever game settings you have a bit lower.
Gaming laptops like these are good for having that mobile option…. But they simply cannot squeeze any more power out of something, without sacrificing battery simply because of how powerful these devices are.
Considering the CPU by itself can use upwards of 115 watts on full speed… yeah. Maybe if they made a version of this CPU, without the little big config, then it would use less.
I love the crab rave tests. It’s was my friends favorite song and he recently passed. So each test reminds me of him
Super powerful & cheaper because I would put it on an elevated laptop pad with fans to help with airflow. I have an MSI GS65 Stealth from 2019 & either of these laptops would be a great replacement.
thank you for talking about the monitor colours, the Spyder software keeps popping up when I start up and I need to fix that
I think I’ll save up for the stealth since my old laptop ge62 apache pro is starting to show its age. Also then I can use the 1tb nvme ssd I bought for it last year in the new one.
I have a GS77 with the 4K and love it.
Personal preference but I prefer benchmark with out-of-the-box setting before changing anything, because that's what user mostly gonna use without tinker too much setting
Was referring the Forza benchmark
you missed to mention the mini displayport on the gp66, at least in the unboxing section of the video
When will the official LTT handlube be available on the LTT store?
As an all round mobile laptop the stealth is probably preferable but as a portable desktop replacement the Vector would be the way to go given that you'll likely be pairing it with additional cooling, screen, keyboard and mouse, thus negating it's downsides.
Please make more laptop videos ❤️
I'd like to see a video about the new Logitech stuff like the Mx 3s and the mx mechanic
That opener missed Alex saying, "Time" and shouting out AvE.
Can we get a msi vector gp76 i5-12th (3080) review?? looking forward to that!!!
curious as to why you didn't get the vector gp76 so that it's an "apples to apples" comparison. I'm trying to decide between the 2 now and your video is as close as i can find for a comparison, but i'm wondering how much better the gp76 is than the gp66. is it just a 15 vs 17 inch and that's the only difference between the 2 vectors?
one question: you did a short cirquit on the tab s8 ultra. when is the ltt video coming out on that?
Prefer the cheaper faster one, if you using it as a desktop replacement, you will likely have it hooked up to an external screen and a real mouse (I hate trackpads in general, so always plug in real mouse).
I would be in the middle to be honest. I don't mind the thicker laptop and I rarely find myself using the trackpad or keyboard anytime I have enough space to pull out real keyboard and mouse. Especially since you can get decent tkl low profile mechanical keyboards now. The only time you really don't have that much room is on a plane and honestly I would be more likely to use a handheld or a tablet in that case or just be watching a movie on it. If your hauling a laptop your typically using a backpack anyways so the difference in weight and thickness isn't much of an issue.
Where the thick one loses me is the screen, i don't really care for a high refresh rate 1080p screen and I definitely would prefer a larger screen. I much rather have a more color accurate 1440p screen. Ideally if I am spending over 2k in a laptop I kinda want to start seeing oled in them. The other issue I have with the 15 inch is that can really be replaced by something like an ipad anymore for 90% of work and is way better for content consumption. The few times I want a laptop is because I want the bigger screen because what I am working on might be terrible on a small screen.
As far as sound quality and how loud the fans are I wouldn't really care since I am would be using a pair of headphones over the built in speakers in almost any circumstance on either.
Do e-cores benefit anything at all? I've only heard bad things about them. Harming gameplay for one but no website forum mentions content creation.
7:44 more markers and the word stop ✋ that was awesomeness made me laugh 😂 so hard
You really should’ve included audio in the sum up at the very end!
Love Riley’s set invasion after Jono the other day
So while charging and gaming - does it run directly on wall?
i could use the gs77 for a work laptop and a gaming laptop but the that screen wobble alone. every time u touched the desk the screen shook constantly. before the screen hinges broke if you torqued them now the screen hinge is fine but its so unstable it shakes constantly from the look of it.
I kinda wish that laptop reviews also contained cpu and gpu thermal tests, because I'm pretty sure both of these laptops will burn at 100C even with this cooling, mostly because of the slimness
I wonder if you would see any change in the Stealth if you used the 280w power brick on it.
I own the gf76 and it’s a good laptop for work and gaming
Quick question: What happens to the laptops when you are done with a review? Do you give them away? If yes how do I enter? Do you deliver to South Africa XD ?
My last two laptops have been msi and both have had to go back for warranty. The first one's fan wouldn't turn on anymore and the second one's hinge broke. Not sure if I want to give them another try after that.
I love my gp66 but woah buddy it’s loud affff. If you copper shim mod the gpu and vram you can get the temps down and use less fan rpm
Hello,
I'm thinking of getting the Vector GP66 i7 12850HX 3070ti. Does your device have a thunderbolt or mini DP port? Do you know if it's on the model I'm going to buy? I couldn't find the exact info :(
How long before we start seeing QD-OLED screens on high end laptops?
