welcome back to harbor unbox for more Computex coverage now once again I'm back at the msi booth but this time something a bit different i'm checking out some awesome new looking gaming laptops they have on display so let's get into it before we check the laptops out a big thanks to msi for bringing me here this year i wouldn't be here without them if you're in the market for a new gaming desktop pc then check out msi high-end core i7 systems also right now they are offering a free you play game key for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon wildlands with select purchases it's also possible to score yourself a wildland game code with select msi motherboards as well so check out their x99 zed 270 and h2 70 range link is in the video description alright msi had plenty of new gaming laptops on display at Computex 2017 the biggest baddest and while beefiest of them all was the MSI gt70 5v are tightened bit of a mouthful but the laptops even bigger than the name lights on this new high-end gaming laptop can be configured in one of three ways it's possible and still a single GT X 1080 graphics card and this is probably the way I'd do if I had a choice but you can go with a single gtx 1070 or perhaps even two 1070 cards in sli so that would probably be the most powerful option for laptops or sorry rather games but support sli the pair of 1070 s that is helping to unleash all that GPU power is the Intel Core i7 78 20 HK processor and that's one of the more powerful cable HH CPUs available right now in fact I think it's the second most powerful processor the GT 75 VR Titan also sports a really slick looking mechanical keyboard with customisable perky RGB lighting so that's pretty special not many keyboards that do have RGB lighting allow you to change individual keys the keyboard is the first mechanical type to be designed specifically for a gaming laptop so that's also very cool the msi gt80 Titan for example the previous 18 inch point 4 monster did feature a mechanical keyboard but that was essentially a desktop keyboard just crammed into a laptop the new Titan however is considerably more portable thanks to a 17 inch footprint and that low-profile tactile keyboard the keyboard was designed by SteelSeries and MSI has been doing a lot with SteelSeries with their recent laptops and I have to say despite the low profile design the tactile feedback is excellent complementing the new keyboard is a really nice Palmer s it has a cool looking diamond-shaped cutout around the opposite arrow keys the material here is much softer than the hard plastic or brushed aluminium that most laptops tend to use it definitely improves comfort and I'm sure for longer gaming sessions where you are using the keyboard that will really help a lot and I think it really just helps gamers take advantage of that mechanical keyboard msi tells me there will be multiple 17.3 inch screen options for the Titan the base model is a 1080p TN panel but before you cringe at the fact it is a TN panel it does support a 120 Hertz refresh rate and MSI are claiming HDR light colors I have to say on the showroom floor with all the lights and glare and whatever else the colors still did look very vibrant for a TN panel but of course we won't really know how good the panel is until Tim gets his hands on it for some real testing still if you go for the GTX ten eighty option or even the dual ten 70s for that matter then perhaps the optional 4k panel will be the way to go it also offers 100% Adobe RGB coverage so it should look very nice that said though if you do prefer 1080p gaming msi says they will be offering an IPS version as well though no real details were given at this point the Titan is designed to be a full-on desktop replacement with space for up to 64 gigabytes of ddr4 memory so I guess you could make it a gaming / serious workstation laptop as well and it also supports not one but two nvme m2 SSDs everything mentioned so far has been very impressive but what really caught my attention is the stuff inside and I don't mean the GTX 1080 and the core i7 or gtx 1070 or whatever i mean that stuff's all very cool but it's the stuff keeping it cool that I was particularly interested in thankfully MSI did have on display their various cooling options for the laptop so you've got a good idea of what the cooling layout was and the fans and the heat pipes and all that stuff so that was that was very cool of them so inside the Titan for example they do have the new cooler boost 5 Titan technology and they say this allows the CPU within the laptop to overclock to 4 gigahertz and stay there without throttling so that's pretty amazing the cooling system essentially combines to whirlwind blade fans with 12 heat pipes and for ventilation points so again very cool stuff but I guess what you guys want to know is the price and unfortunately as you might have guessed MSI aren't releasing that information at this point for any of the various configurations but you can bet they're not going to be cheap another new laptop series that caught my attention with the GE 63 VR and ge 73 VR Raiders unlike the Titan the Raider models are designed to be cost effective or at least more cost effective they shouldn't completely obliterate your bank account anyway the Raider looks very sleek but it still packs some serious hardware inside there also packing the world's first 3 millisecond 120 Hertz display which doesn't just promise super fast response times but also a wider color gamut along with HDR compatibility and this means you'll see a broader range of colors with a better overall contrast inside the Raider models there's more cooler boost v technology and this time we find dual fans seven heat pipes and for ventilation points I know you guys are going to want to know things like what temperature's do they run out and how loud are they and all that stuff and honestly on the showroom floor I can't really get that information you have to wait for the reviews but MSI does assure me that the operating temperatures are very good and so too is the operating volume but again we'll have to wait for Tim to get his hands on that before we have any concrete information something else we don't know yet is which CPU is powering the Raider line I would assume a lower-end core i7 model is probably in there there might be an option for a core i5 but I'd say the focus will be on the core i7 because the GPU has been significantly upgraded they now come standard with an nvidia geforce gtx 1070 and that's a massive upgrade over the preview ge62 and g72 s which use the gtx 1050 this is really impressive stuff because despite the massive upgrade and GPU power these new raiders are even slimmer than the previous models as I mentioned earlier these are very sleek looking laptops and msi says that design shoes have been taken from sports cars so as Kevin would say that's interesting these models also feature more steel series action here we again have perky RGB lighting so that's very cool and that's for both the GE 63 VR and ge 73 VR something that I am yet to touch on but is very cool other speakers the laptops feature the appropriately named giant speakers which are said to be 2 to 3 times larger than other speakers in similarly priced gaming laptops a key to enabling this larger volume isn't just the size of the actual speaker but also the chamber msi says the chamber is now five times the size and this results in as I said a much larger volume but also better audio quality overall and sound detail I have to say even on the louder showroom floor it was very easy to hear the gaming laptop so I had them playing a few games or videos and they were incredibly loud so far the only difference that I'm aware of between the g63 VR and g73 VR is the 15-inch and 17-inch displays the GE 73 VR being the larger of the two of course again pricing information wasn't announced so you'll have to wait for Tim's official reviews to get those details anyway that's going to do it for the MSI laptop coverage hope you guys enjoyed checking out the new laptops I'm pretty excited to see Tim get a couple of them and check them out see if they're as good as they look on the showroom floor I'm your host Steve see you again soon guys you
