Imagine showing up to a uni lecture with this beast
Now that's what I call asserting dominance
I've seen it happen, and it's an omegalul when you see the battery run out mid lecture
The fan would be louder that the professor teaching.

"Who needs 8TB of storage?"
I'd like to be able to store more than 10 modern games thank you.
@@gundamzerostrike Right, Literally every upgrade he does gets filled up fast lol.
Who is it for? Video editor.
Though I should specify: any editor needing 8tb should seriously have a desktop if for no other reason than modularity.
The saddest part is for example, you can fit CSGO 50 times on a 1TB, as appose to fitting COD maybe 10 times not including future updates lmao

Today when I walked into my economics class I saw something I dread every time I close my eyes. Someone had brought their XMG Ultra 17 to class. The Forklift he used to bring it was still running idle at the back. I started sweating as I sat down and gazed over at the 700lb beast that was his laptop. He had already reinforced his desk with steel support beams and was in the process of finding an outlet for a power cable thicker than Amy Schumer's thigh. I start shaking. I keep telling myself I'm going to be alright and that there's nothing to worry about. He somehow finds a fucking outlet. Tears are running down my cheeks as I send my last texts to my family saying I love them. The teacher starts the lecture, and the student turns his laptop on. The colored lights on his RGB Backlit keyboard flare to life like a nuclear flash, and a deep humming fills my ears and shakes my very soul. The entire city power grid goes dark. The classroom begins to shake as the massive fans begin to spin. In mere seconds my world has gone from vibrant life, to a dark, earth shattering void where my body is getting torn apart by the 150mph gale force winds and the 500 decibel groan of the cooling fans. As my body finally surrenders, I weep, as my school and my city go under. I fucking hate gaming laptops.

Suggestion: when playing a game instead of Doom Eternal go for Flight Simulator 2020.
Flight simulator makes any graphics card other than the 3000 series or 2080ti look really bad.
@@shahmirkhan5373 for now...
flight simulator got my 2080 down to 70-90 ish FPS. wow
Is it because they, to put it charitably, aren't the greatest at DooM eternal? Or because flight sim is more demanding?
Or something graphics intensive, beta games are good. Or ask devs of engines to test benchmarks

The last time I was this early they already showed these laptops on the main channel
Weren't those Origin branded though?
Marek Černoch Eluktronics, Origin and XMG are pretty much the same
I mean like when your looking up a product review/unboxing , do you just look at one video about it or multiple ?
JoeySenpai115 They use the same chassis but specs differ. So probably multiple videos
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Marek Černoch That laptop Alex unboxed here is the same as the Origin PC EON17-X that they reviewed yesterday... It only has the 1080p 240hz screen instead of the 4k60 version from Origin PC...
Alex: "I guess that I have more storage..."
Also Alex: "Why would you ever need 8TB?"
Alex Schendel Lmao, literally 10 seconds later he says that too XD
@@Skyfalcon12345 I think he meant his WORK desktop!! Not his personal one!! And yeah, 8tb is insane!
He's talking about his desktop with HDDs, maybe for backups.
he told why do you need so much in default storage
Especially if it was all SSDs. (:
"Where do you need 8TB of storage??"
Remember how people raged when the games started taking 1 gigabytes towards the end of the 1990s?
And now 20 years later, they can take up to frigging 200 gigs, plus DLC? Yeah...
Sounds like call of duty
What game takes 1gb in 1990s?
@@aliefr2984 Tons of. Diablo 1 for example came out in late 1996, and was already 810 megabytes in size, and then there's the behemoths like Final Fantasy 7 and 8 with 3-4 CDs worth of data.
One thing to note is that only truly few games yet REQUIRED a full installation on the user's hard-disk at that point.
Many games instead opted to do a basic bare minimum installation of some few dozen megs, where as all the heavy data was played from the CD. Some later games started providing multiple install-size options (ie. Daggerfall's largest was 500 mb) , reducing or even outright removing the need of CDs in case of the larger install sizes.
@@GugureSux wow, until 2010 i still play game less than 1gb. Time flies
@@aliefr2984 Sounds like you've steered away from the main-stream big boy titles, because ever since the dawn of DVDs at the turn of the millennium, it's been very hard to find games that would take LESS than a couple gigabytes, minimum.
One reason I was extremely surprised of, and happy about the Deep Rock Galactic; a co-op MP game, running on UE4, that's less than 2 gigabytes as a whole, with no shortage of content.
That feeling you get when you just spent 2 years and your life savings designing, engineering and producing a crazy spec laptop that gets reviewed... on the day that it became obsolete.
To be fair, it's still a pretty good laptop and the 3000 series will probably take a couple of months to come to the mobile market... But yeah, kinda unfortunate
@@lucasfranke5161
Just replace it
Especially now, when there are 40 seies
That looks suspiciously like the OriginPC laptop that Linus just reviewed!
Coz it is
yeah other one had a 4k display tho. Idk who's gonna "back 2 school" with these things.
Yeah they both are based on the Clevo chassis i think
It's using the same chassis and basic components I believe.
@@danieltanuwijaya7675 Nothing surprising.. Different version of gpu or some other specs would be different..
Alex: "Not allowed to play with fire in the office anymore"
Well when the local fire dept. gets to know everybody by their first names and invited to staff Xmas party's......
aloud?
Can we just appreciate the fact that this thing even has a removable battery, and the upgradability in general?
used a a laptop from 2013 which based on such a chassis from clevo stll working and so nice to maintain it. long term supply of parts as well
Neuzahnstein which model is it, just curious? Clevos are awesome.
@@roadchewerpe5759 P170EM, but now the parts alot of EOL
Considering the trend, I'd like to know the design reason for a removable battery. I'd prefer it, but good luck finding one anymore. When I used a Windows phone, I got multiple batteries and could recharge the phone in under 10 seconds.
Good point as this is something I miss from old school laptops. (:
Thank you for including metric units for the weight this time! Much appreciated.

2 power bricks, 2 holes with DC symbols next to them. Alex: "I have no idea what these are"

@@IbadGrammarX Alex literally got hired for his engineering and electrical expertise.
@@darjanator he didnt got hired for his expertise, he is a writer who also is an engineer, now he became more of an hydrid one, i think in one video they explained that, that his job is to be a writer
@@darjanator because for computer ports, you generally don't care what the symbol is, you already visually know what the ports are.
yeah, even without the dc symbol i noticed I hadn't seen any barrel connectors. when I saw two mystery ports i went "Oh, huh, those must be for the power cause there's no other place plug in"
Linus showed the exact same laptop yesterday with a different branding of origin pc laptop
Yeah I noticed it too. Kinda sucks cause we already saw the exact same thing.
@@sim789936 yea but in this we got to see the internals at least
Like ltt and short circuit are different channels but actually the same.

Why do LTT employees handle tech like this? Except for Anthony.

Yes.
@@Yuriyalloween Have you been doing proper inspections lately?
Treating a $7k piece of sensitive hardware like a Walmart laptop just seems wrong. No one in their right mind who spends this kind of money would do this. This is for a very select group who know what they're getting. They'd treat it with care.
@@charlestannehill7537 if they have that kind of money for a laptop. They wouldn't care about the longevity obviously. It might look wrong for someone that can't afford it (including me). Also if you pay that kind of money and it breaks when handled like that then it isn't worth the money

"I've never seen a charger input like this before" - really? Thinkpads (well, at least the one I used at a company ~2 years ago) look quite similar.
@Petraplexity both have the ⎓ symbol; that's the standard for DC power
At this point, hardware manufacturers should bring back the briefcase laptop design! 😅 Or would it be more like a suitcase desktop by that point? 🤔
@Gus Johnson Weird flex but ok.
@Gus Johnson all games? Aight bro let's go play Minecraft RTX, or any VR game
Gus Johnson imagine bragging about having a shit graphics card
A suitcase-PC-case would actually be neat if you travel not a lot but often enough that you need your PC with you and would like to build it yourself. That'd be really dope!
the bracket would have to be made out of stainless steel or aluminium to support the weight. One wrong move and it snaps the plastic and destroys everything

This would be amazing for a music producer!! They could use it in their room for gaming on a big monitor, with the lid closed (assuming the cooling allows for this) and then bring it to the studio or a gig and have it run around 32 live audio inputs being processed (with after effects applied) all at once, and have no issues at all. Audio is so data heavy too, so the massive storage would make it easy to not have to swap external drives around all the time. This is like a dream laptop omg. It is me, I am the music producer who wants this laptop!
The fact that it is so loud would possibly make it hard to record audio in a bedroom though.
and the good thing is even though it, of course, is really expensive, if you put this in contrast you can either get this and 400 Euros or a trashcan mac

Looks very similar to the Lenovo laptop docks my work uses
Appears to be the same connector used on the nvidia shield power input
I had a P4 clevo about 15 years ago... prolly weighted about 5kg with the power brick . Ive always seen them as desktop replacement / portable desktop computers for people who regularly go to lans... Always been big beasts!
I remember seeing a mid 2000s laptop that actually took proper desktop CPU (like this) but on top of that, an actual full-sized desktop GPU would slot in the bottom of it! as you can imagine, the base of the laptop was fairly thick (an inch or so) but that was kinda par for the course anyway at the time. *that* was a beast of a laptop for it's time, and could be so easily upgraded since it took desktop cpu, gpu and ram. I do think it had the 2.5"hdd rather than a 3.5" at least
„And what are these?” Looking at ports marked as DIrectCurrent. Are you really technician?
I like how they now have 2 of these machines, 1 Origin branded and 1 XMG
Right?
I need this laptop for my online classes.
7 whole chrome tabs
We've forgotten that at one point there was a distinction between "laptops" and "portable computers." (Or at least there were portable computers and then there were laptops.) This is clearly an argument for a return to that sort of distinction.
Those ports in the back, have the symbol for "direct current", it will be to connect the power supply 3:57
didn't Linus review this one with two others on the main channel yesterday? I seem to remember something about a monster laptop with two powerbricks and desktop components
gonna watch it either way, so no complaints
Those were from Origin PC, but they use a lot of the same Clevo chassis, so yeah...it's...similar
That's was origin branded one but looks like same chassis
it looks like a showcase to me since a review would have benchmarks or whatever
@LittleBertz . They don't tend to really review stuff anymore. Is it bad that the showcase channel is more in depth than the regular one?
this dude is too heavy handed for everyone's comfort.

Yes, it is a laptop. Its mobility, as strange as it is, is useful to some people. There are people always on the go, making video projects from island to island, filming, rendering, sending projects to clients. They need that rendering power, but they also need mobility. :) It's a very good laptop. ;) Videographers are loving it.
I had a clevo years ago like this and brought it overseas. Nothing like running through the HK airport thinking you are late for a connecting flight lugging that sucker around.
"who needs 8tb of storage"
CoD Warzone - Am I a joke to you?
They update it like every week with an extra 10gb of space taken up... I swear I need that 8tb
207 GB at this point, slowly going up every update ;)
2:12 oh no, he's transforming into linus !!! Rollback!!!
The craziest part is... it's cheaper in the configuration shown in the video, than a fully decked out 16" macbook pro, with a 9th gen intel i9, 64gb ram, the same storage and a amd radeon pro 5600m gpu, to be correct the macbook is 2000 € more expensive than this beast of a laptop
My Alienware 17r5 came with 2 full-size M.2 slots, an odd one about the size of a large postage stamp, and a 2.5" drive bay. It came with a 256GB M.2 and a 1TB hard drive. I replaced the hard drive with a 2TB SSD, replaced the one M.2 with a 2TB one, added another 2TB one, and put a 256GB one in the small bay. Thus, I have a bit over 6TB of space. Got a boot drive that also holds programs, a data drive, a game drive which is almost full, and a little spare space. I really like the twin coffee warmers on the sides, it really keeps the teacup warm. Also, headphones are needed when it's under load. I got it refurbished for about $2700, but then put in about $700 of upgrades, plus another $300 for the graphics accelerator and another $300 for the 2060. Turns out, a 2060 with 6GB has almost identical performance to the built-in 1080Ti with 8GB, other than the ray tracing. The Graphics Accelerator makes for a nice dock, but I could have used the USB-C port for that for under $100. Even with the new 30XX cards coming out, the Ultra 17 is going to shine for years to come. 8TB should be good for about 10 AAA games, or the core Microsoft Flight Simulator plus a light operating system.

Why would you need 8TB of storage?
My "homework" folder : * t-posing * HELLO
Man just explained an upgraded version of my desktop from 2 years ago
The downward pointing arrow for caps is actually a pretty old symbol for it iirc. Probably a reference to the point in time where caps lock keys would actually stay "locked" down.
"So we're here in Doom" - accurate for 2020.
LOL the most underrated comment ever
Reppin the fearless flyers!
Maybe the Tailwinds are just perfect to get that review done.
I didn't take Alex for a Vulf fan
At the airport “SORRY I need all the power outlets.”
It's a German keyboard style thing - the Caps Lock is upside-down sign (I guess because they put Shift facing up and wanted to avoid letters for that key). Also, all shift+ keys or upper/ alternate keys are placed at the bottom (e.g. @ sits below 2). My ROCCAT keyboard has a similar layout.
Looking at this is reminding me of my HDX 9494nr... it is sitting in my bedroom, unused... but....
It is a laptop from HP that was made back in 2007....
It has a 21" display, geforce 8800, blu-ray, tv tuner that supports NTSC, ATSC, and PAL, 4.1 surround sound, full size keyboard and remote, holds 2 sata HD's, webcam, stereo mics, all the input you could ask for, rj45, hdmi, vga, it is a beast.... weighs like 25lbs. And in the owners manual it actually says that they do NOT recommend putting it on your lap.
My favorite part of owning that laptop was going to Disneyland and seeing the same laptop on display inside Innoventions.
They call that the "child of divorce" special... too big to be truly portable but still easier than a desktop to take from one house to another
YUP my case :,D
Watching Alex just handle this laptop in the most sloppy way possible is so cringe
He kinda banged it around too much (in my opinion) for a $7k machine...
The Actual meaning of "Overkill"
we just gone one of these for our libraries 3d scanners today. only half the ram though, but that double brick charger is insane.
The symbol under the "mystery" connectors at 3:58 (a long line over 3 short ones) is the international standard symbol for DC power.
Recommendations are kinda fast.
FEARLESS FLYERS SHIRT AGAIN ALEX I LOVE YOU
you should maybe specify that the price you've just shown includes taxes (since this is the way prices are displayed in Europe)
Yes. We have prices like normal people, VAT included. Not like in America.
I have an old Asus G750J and usually show up to my classes in University with it.
Needless to say people's reactions are accordingly "heavy".
The caps lock is upside down because in German, DIE STANDARDEINSTELLUNG IST DAS DIE FESTSTELLTASTE IST DAUERHAFT AKTIVIERT.
It's seen as a caps-unlock in Deutchland, as you click it when you want to go into whisper mode.
If this wasn't already a hard buy, the announcement of the 3080 and 3070 kind of made the existance of the 2080 ti and especially the 2080 obsolete.. Soo now is a bad time to buy any of the 20 series and also 20 series laptops I think. RIP
It might be like a year before they come out with a version in this form factor though.
@@danieljensen2626The slides said the 3080 launches 17 september :)

I've seen charger inputs like that before. My IBM Thinkpad work laptop has a power cable port that looks just like that (though it only has one).
I once had an HP notebook, the first generation convertible, back then still with pressure based (i forgot the technical term) touch screen, which came with two batteries. One for two hours, one for five hours. That was quite nice, I really liked it.
Epic. Shame that's about $6400 over my budget.
I hope my video presence will improve as much as Alex's has
2080? That's so out of date now :-P
To all these people that are complaining about how Alex had mistreated this hardware and the audacity of it. I have a question for y'all. Actually several.
1.) Is it your money on the line?
2.) At what point does he do anything that actually put the laptop in danger?
He tosses it into the air, the laptop barely leaving his hands. Yes, he could have dropped it here. Actually, in further review of the footage, it wasn't even a toss. He drops it and catches it, his hands never getting more than 6 inches away from the machine. The only thing I take issue with is his smacking the edge of the monitor, though that wasn't even enough to make the chassis complain (creaking or popping). There was just a solid thud. In fact, I'm willing to bet there wasn't any effect on the pixels... smacking a monitor like that can cause pixels to turn off or on for a brief time, making the screen flash.
3.) What is the most sensitive component of a computer? I'll give you a hint, it's a now obsolete form of storage for anything other than large capacity.
In short, he didn't damage the laptop... I've put laptops through substantially worse than that and had them come out perfectly fine, even going so far as putting a dent in the chassis of my Dell ultrabook right above where the HDD is. It still works just as it did when I pulled it out of the box in 2014... though it's performance has always left something to be desired. It would lag out with me just typing in Word back when I could hit 150 wpm no problem.
Always had a soft spot for this style of rig. My first real machine in 2014 was the 2014 equivalent. Got it as a gift, and hell, for a mediocre but serviceable machine, it still holds up, aside from the graphics card. Processor is good, rams good, storage is good, the only problem is running a graphics card.
Love the Alex's "toss toss drops"
"rtx 3000 coming right around the corner." LOL
The rtx 3070 is basically a rtx 2080TI in performance
Correct me if I'm wrong
@@Danitronium We will see with real life tests. But you are probably right.
For that price, 51M R2 is just better in every way
Great unboxing and teardown... Thanks LTT! 👍👍
I like that thing for the Powerbricks. You can use it to mount them under the Desk.
