Thank God Dave, you can't imagine how many days I'm waiting for this video from you. I refresh your page every day to see if you got this laptop reviewed or not
Hmm undervolting GPU? I didn't know that was a thing. Can you recommend a guide please? Most on Google might be outdated (from 2017) EDIT: Or make a video!
Nice review. Thx Dave. This thing isn't meant to replace 15 inch gaming devices. It is about the trade off you have to make when deciding between power and portability. This is the first device which goes the other way around and gives you the maximum possible performance in that formfactor. The small and light design matters to many people more than the additional 10 minutes you get for render time. It is slower than a 15 inch gaming laptop but it is waaaay more powerful than anything else in that formfactor.
One small thing bugs me about the ports on this device. At 1:33 Dave does not mention it but the 2 usb-a on the 14-inch is actually running at just USB2.0 while the 15-inch has USB3.2 Gen2 according to the official website. I don't know why MSI made this decision but this really bothers me, like it is late 2019 and it still has usb2.0 as standard which is weird. Besides, I find quite a lot of differences between the 14 and 15-inch model, not just about the form factor. The 15-inch model has two configurations, the only difference is the resolution of the display, 1080p and 4K. Both have GTX 1650 max q and 2 slots, max of 64GB, ddr4 memory running at 2666MHz. They also have 2 SSD slots with 1 supports NVMe PCIe Gen3 and 1 supports both NVMe PCIe Gen3 and SATA. However, the 14-inch models get a lot more complicated. First, It also only has 1 SSD slot supporting both PCIe and SATA which I think is fine given the smaller form factor. However, this is where it gets complicated. It has 2 GPU options, GTX 1650 max-q and MX250. No matter which GPU you choose, it has only 1 ram slot. But if you choose the models with GTX 1650 max-q, the ram can only be configured as LPDDR3-2133 and has a maximum of 16Gb only. If you choose to have MX250, you will get DDR4-2666 instead and has a maximum of 32Gb(When I saw the spec sheet I was like WTF??). Besides, the models with GTX 1650 max-q it comes with 802.11 ax Wi-Fi 6 but the MX250 one only comes with Intel Wireless-AC 9560 (2*2 a/c). One thing worth noticed is that the 14-inch has Windows Hello support with both facial recognition and fingerprint reader while the 15-inch only has a fingerprint reader. The 14-inch has a keyboard that tilts 5 degrees, just the Asus ones, while the 15-inch does not. I really like the 14-inch form factor, but the weird specs and USB2.0 as standard just bother me. TBH, I am shocked that the 15-inch and 14-inch actually differ quite a lot when I looked at the spec sheet. It seems that I will have to wait for more till a perfect laptop appears on the market. BTW nice video Dave!
You look so tired, take care of yourself and thanks for the video! :) I have the older MSI prestige PS42, not really for gaming since I got the i5 8th gen version without graphics card, but definitely enough for work and very portable.
@@soundninja99 Them I doubt its true. I dont think any happy wife would joke about their husband's performance in the bed room unless they had a great set life they were confident about.
i have the msi prestige that is basically a gs65 or whatever their 15 inch gaming laptop is, but supposedly for creators and not for gaming. have had it for a few months now. i like the laptop a lot. the keyboard has a bit of flex but the travel distance on the keyboard is good and the typing experience is satisfying. as he talks about, generally msi laptops dont have the amazing build quality that razer or apple does (pretend the keyboard issues werent a thing). but an intel i7 8750h, 32 gigs of ram, 512gb ssd, and a 1070 max q for 1500 bucks on sale was an amazing deal
I've seen thirteen inch laptops with dual fans and a single heat pipe each for the CPU and GPU. Would be good to see MSI adopt this layout for the next version.
Love your channel, my best friend is hunting for a new gaming laptop for Black Friday, I hope you do a video of the best deals or something similar because I've been finding it hard to do research
Hey Dave!! Really like your unbiased reviews and your honest opinions!! Great work!! Keep up the good work and don't forget to be eco-friendly!! Eheheh
There's an MSI GF63 that comes extremely close to the performance of this laptop, once you don't care about thunderbolt 3. I've got the 8SC-030 model. i5 8300H (4C/8T) GTX 1650 Max-Q 8gb DDR4 2666 (upgradeble, not soldered) 256gb NVME drive with a 2.5" slot (ships with bracket too) 1080p 60Hz display When I bought the GF63, it was 669.99 USD on amazon (it's roughly 790 now)
It has to happen soon, the return of the 14 inch devices :-D It is the perfect size especially these days with the small bezels. While waiting for that I keep on using my 2017 HP Spectre x360 with an EGPU when I need one.
Just saw your "Back to School Laptops" and it was SO good, damn. 😍 Hit so many points & I felt that.

Laptops that don't have the separated numeric keys on the right side unfortunately don't serve 3D designers because they can't use many important shortcuts. But for anyone else it looks like a great laptop. Thanks for the video, as always you have very well explained.
Thank you for this video. I was seeing a lot of TH-camrs telling it's a great "creator" laptop for its size. But now I understand that it's not so great. I would definitely buy a good laptop of this size. I'll just wait and hope for a better device then...
I am using the 15in PS63 with GTX1650 Max-Q. Thermal is good, and battery life is awesome. If they can update the 15in with thunderbolt and type-c charging port, it will be perfect.
Will you review the 15' version ? Apart the "classical" (but at the same time not so classical...) 2 fans, It has a lot of good features on paper for a "modern" laptop : 1.6 Kg (I'm French ;-) ) 2 ssd slots, 2 RAM slots up to 64 GB. Very few people talk about the 32 or 64 GB RAM but if you buy today a laptop for +/- 5 years, this feature is very important IMHO as you say in your country :-)
I don't get why most manufacturers don't passively cool laptops by using the chassis to disperse heat. You could still have a fan, less noise, good temperatures performance.
Hi Dave, I really like your videos, They are short yet incredibly detailed. the second you upload them I press like. I wanted to ask, is there any chance that you will be covering some budget laptops? not all of us can afford the XPSes and Zenbooks.
Do a review on the MSI Modern 14 laptop i7 variant. It's cheap and has reasonably good specifications. A lot of price conscious buyers might consider that device too.
3:09 "I undervolted the CPU, I undervolted the GPU - like I said - to a lower clock". Undervolting is reducing the voltage, but maintaining the same clock. Dave, I know it was a simple mistake. But it is this kind of things that mislead people when talking about undervolting. Nevertheless, I loved your tutorial on undervolting, and I congratulate you on that. Cheers!
when you underplot it can lower how much the cpu turbos the clocks up to, especially on this laptop as I own it. so while it shouldn't affect base clock it absolutely will affect the obscenely largely advertised boost clock speeds
@@jamestiller5119 I have not experience that, on a more conservative approach to undervolting. Meaning, with a low undervolting I was able to achieve the same clock speed. Then, I created more aggressive undervolting profiles, so I was able to reduce both power consumption and heating of components. In these aggressive undervolting profiles, I had to limit the clock speed. This means that both undervolting and clock speed are not directly proportional, but linked. Was I able to express myself? Nevertheless, the clock and turbo boost speeds are marketed by the CPU manufacturer, namely Intel. It is up to the laptop OEMs to create a package that can handle that kind of heat, and promote that CPU to achieve its full potential. I admit that Intel is somewhat excessively positive on some of their marketing material - but with the right cooling solution, it is usually doable.
This would have been a perfect laptop for a lot of people but the single fan is disappointing
Love your videos...!

when you underplot it can lower how much the cpu turbos the clocks up to, especially on this laptop as I own it. so while it shouldn't affect base clock it absolutely will affect the obscenely largely advertised boost clock speeds
@@jamestiller5119 I have not experience that, on a more conservative approach to undervolting.
Meaning, with a low undervolting I was able to achieve the same clock speed.
Then, I created more aggressive undervolting profiles, so I was able to reduce both power consumption and heating of components.
In these aggressive undervolting profiles, I had to limit the clock speed.
This means that both undervolting and clock speed are not directly proportional, but linked.
Was I able to express myself?
Nevertheless, the clock and turbo boost speeds are marketed by the CPU manufacturer, namely Intel.
It is up to the laptop OEMs to create a package that can handle that kind of heat, and promote that CPU to achieve its full potential.
I admit that Intel is somewhat excessively positive on some of their marketing material - but with the right cooling solution, it is usually doable.
