okay so r-tx laptops are finally here this is one of the more interesting ones to me it's the GS 75 from MSI it's kind of like the Big Brother to the GS 65 from last year those are really popular device this is a machine that's running an RT X 2080 max-q GPU and I'm just gonna jump into performance because that's probably what's most interesting to you guys this GPU is pushing out frame rates that honestly seemed impossible for thin and light gaming laptops it doesn't matter what you throw at it it plays it really smoothly and keep in mind this is a super thin gaming laptop right it's not even nineteen millimeters thick and if you compare this to the previous generation of GPUs this is about 15 percent faster than last year's 1080 max-q and about 25 maybe 30 percent better than last year's 1070 max-q it's a noticeable step up in performance and for someone like me who likes to play games at lower quality settings just to maximize frame rates I'm getting monster numbers on this machine now there are other benefits to the art Tex 20 series other than just straight performance right there's benefits like real-time ray tracing and DL SS to bump up your frame rates but those are features that I'll talk about in a more comprehensive video where I'll kind of compare the different r-tx laptop GPUs but the frame rates on this machine are so high that they're actually pushing the limits of this screen it's a 17 inch panel fantastic screen for gaming 144 Hertz 3 millisecond response time it's super fast but it's a 1080p panel now I'm someone who prefers gaming at 1080p resolution and I think a lot of people are out there are in the same boat they just prefer that lower resolution but higher refresh rate just so games move super quickly and just that's how people like to play games the thing is on an RT X xx 80 max Q GPU it can support higher resolution gaming and it's not that this is a bad screen it's a wonderful screen for gaming but if this was a higher resolution screen like a 1440p or even a 4k panel and it's still super high refresh this would be able to showcase the 2080 a little bit better and this panel does not support g-sync which is honestly a good thing I feel like on laptops especially in this day and age g-sync isn't my cup of tea like it's just using more power it's gonna make the device cost more so no g-sync but I'm fine with that okay thermally the Arctic 2080 max-q seems well handled by the GS 75 there's no throttling in 3dmark benchmarks or stress tests and I think this is where the RTX 20 series shines so last year when he took any of the kind of normal chassis fin and light gaming laptops so aro 15m aside GS 65 the razor blade all of the kind of normal-looking thin and light laptops we're running a 1070 max Q at the highest configuration that was the limit anything more powerful than that the chassis would get too hot there were 1080 max Q devices but you need specialized chassis for that like the Triton and the Zephyrus where the companies would shift the keyboard down to maximize airflow through the components the RT X xx series is more energy efficient and you're able to cool even a twenty eighty max Q in a regular looking chassis so it makes it difficult to compare the 10 series and the 20 series laptops laterally because of that ability to go higher in configuration now in terms of pricing obviously with higher configurations the pricing is going to go up I do not know the price of this particular unit yet I'll link in the video description just the most accurate pricing but at the time of filming I do not know the price of this device but it does look good the build quality is better than the previous generation so they're claiming it's using aluminum that's 60% thicker than the previous models I wouldn't say that it feels like super beefy or anything it feels well built but there is some flex to the chassis still it does feel better built than the GS 65 especially on this grill here they've reinforced it or something so it's not as flexible and the product feels solid for a 17-inch device the gold accents on this thing they're mostly metal so on the edges it's got this chamfered gold trim and same with the exhaust grill there's like a metal colored gold but the hinge here gets like a plastic hinge cap or like a hinged cover they've matched the color pretty well so like the gold plastic is a very similar tone to the gold metal trim which is something that MSI has screwed up in the past like they used to have these white laptops that were different shades of white depending on the part it was on so that's a nice touch okay the ports on this device so they have three USB a s to use pcs one of them supporting Thunderbolt three there's an Ethernet jack micro SD and a pair of audio jacks the AC adapter comes out side again not like in the back like I'd prefer but at least on the left side this time instead of the right if you want to it's pretty easy to get into this device it's just a few screws and compared to last year's Jesus 65 I mean that thing was an absolute nightmare to open this is pretty easy you have access to two nvm ease and your Wi-Fi card there's actually a third nvme slot it's empty we have access to it if you want you also have access to your battery if you ever need to replace it it's an 80 watt hour battery they're claiming eight hours I didn't get anywhere near that I got four hours with a screen at 250 nits and that's what the screen at 60 Hertz this is on our device that you can go around without an adapter unfortunately speakers are also down here they're not great sounding I really wish MSI wouldn't prove the speakers on this the positioning is poured there on the bottom and the drivers themselves are kind of underwhelming the fans are located up top there's three of them they are very quiet on idle and pretty quiet even on load at the default fan settings but if you want to crank it for performance they spin up pretty loud the keyboard is pretty good but I feel like MSI doesn't change their keyboards very often it's spacious it has a number pad the windows key is moved out of the way so you don't hit it while you're gaming but if you use it frequently for shortcuts and stuff you'll have to get used to the new position the trackpad is updated it's got a glass surface which is something MSI it normally doesn't use it's actually a really nice texture on the glass but it is a pretty big trackpad for a gaming laptop software on this thing it's got dragon center for fan control and some performance monitoring it also has SteelSeries lighting for the keyboard so overall Jess 75 feels like a really solid device for someone looking for that 17-inch finem like gaming laptop Archie X 20 series is a beast like yeah it's really weird that they're able to get that kind of performance in a device that's like not even nineteen millimeters thick it's crazy like if you think about it this is like what the arch X 2080 like a desktop card this is they're putting one of these in here Lee this is you know what this is not even that much lighter than this that's crazy that's just crazy all right our text 20 series laptops they're gonna be a bunch of these videos coming on this channel over the next couple of weeks and ok thumbs if you like this video subs if you loved it see you guys next time
