the rogue type s from NCI X PC is powered by Intel Core i7 4790k and until 730 series as his d click the link in the description to unleash your options for true performance hey guys Eber here with Hydra connects and a few months back we took a look at your coms & 5 pro a gaming notebook that set the standard as one of the best performing notebooks for the price today we're taking a look at a revamped shark 4 from their ultra portable series and it is priced a little north of 1k and for that you've got a quad core Intel Core i7 4720 HQ CPU clocked at 2.6 gigahertz eight gigabytes of RAM 128 gigabytes m2 SSD along with a one terabyte 7200 rpm hard drive and a gtx 960m with 2 gigabytes of vram let's check it out all right so the shark force force an excellent build the chassis is made from premium plastic material that does not feel cheap plus the front panel comes with a soft touch rubber surface that feels a lot smoother and comfortable to hold in the hands and the same finish has been applied to the palm rest which surprisingly does a good job preventing the heat from spreading to my palms while gaming the screen does show signs of flex when opening it up but it's a lot sturdier than the m5 Pro it weighs about two and a half kilograms which is definitely not light and I'm not exactly sure why your comm advertises them as an ultra portable gaming laptop but personally I don't mind the extra thickness considering how well-built this machine is and when you open the lid you're greeted with a beautiful 15.6 inch 1920 by 1080 IPS display that's stunning to look at viewing angles and the contrast ratio are top-notch with which colors and deep blacks Plus this is an excellent panel for editing and gaming as well the two front facing speaker is powered by a few are angled slightly this way the sound is projected directly to the user and over the course of my testing I noticed that the speaker is lacked in the base region and it was more emphasized on the vocals considering how treble friendly it is let's take a listen and so moving through the aisle we have a Kensington lock two USB 3.0 ports a dedicated headphone microphone and spdif digital jacks on the left side switching over to the right we find a Gigabit Ethernet VGA output a single USB 3.0 port memory card reader and yes a sim card slot and I was very surprised with the i/o placement on the backside which includes a USB 3.0 port HDMI 1.4 DisplayPort 1.2 that supports 4k externally at 60 Hertz and these standard power in the keyboard on the shark fort is great the tactile responds and the keys are solid and the entire keyboard is shifted downwards a little bit which contributes to proper finger travel distance the WASC keys are highlighted with these red arrow marks and the keyboard does have two stages of backlighting that's very nice to see the trackpad is very responsive the track surface is smooth enough for zooming tapping in much more I was disappointed to not find an option within the driver software to enable double tap for left click but on a good note the dedicated primary left and right click buttons carry on that excellent satisfactory feel and the included fingerprint reader is nice feature although it's a hit or miss sometimes requiring two to three swipes to login internal expansion of the shark four is flexible you can expand the memory up to 16 gigabytes and the m2 slot is accessible and it can easily be upgraded to a higher capacity SSD and this notebook does support Samsung's sm9 51 series drives that sports an insane 2 gigabits per second read and write speeds the hard drive slot is also accessible if you want to upgrade the existing mechanical hard drive to an SSD your club also provides an optional hard drive caddy that you can replace the built-in DVD drive for even more storage options both the CPU and GPU are cool in a dual exhaust configuration with the heat directed towards the exhaust vents our test showed that the GPU idling around 30 degrees while the CPU at 57 degrees and during load both the CPU and GPU topped out 79 and 89 degrees respectively even though both of them ran on the hotter side the system ran nearly silent and the fence only kicked in when they needed to the shark for handles gaming reasonably well and by that I meant that the 960m was struggling to keep up with its bigger brothers launching into gta5 a game that requires a lot of VRAM I had to turn on the settings to normal to achieve an average of above 40 frames per second and the minimums dipping into the low 30s mid alert shadow of mordor at Ultra settings and we achieve a little over 30 frames per second while the minimums at 22 lore de Falla did very high hovered around 25 frames per second on average while the minimum is were about 15 on a good note BioShock Infinite at Ultra settings ran smoothly over 70 frames per second on average and the minimums dipped into the low 40s Metro last light at high settings averaged around 30 frames per second and dipped into the low 20s I also took a three minute premier project and rendered it in our standard 4k export settings on both the shark 4 and my 6 core workstation and to my surprise the shark full rendered the task a little over 8 minutes while the 6 core did it in about 6 minutes the difference is about 20% but the point is that this laptop is not that far from being an excellent portable editing workstation I was also amazed with the battery life of the shark for the notebook lasted a little over 3 hours on our standardized tests but with casual web browsing and watching a few videos it got me through a day so eurocom has impressed us once again with their shark 4 gaming laptop the chassis is well built to the specs are reasonable for the price and we are totally satisfied with the IPS display bass performance great keyboard and trackpad it's really hard to pass on such a staggering machine for the price and we're giving it the Harbour Canucks damn good award so what are your thoughts on the shark 4 from your comm is the price to performance ratio reasonable or maybe for an extra $500 would you consider the m5 pro that houses a non-sentient let us know in the comments down below as always thank you so much for watching this video and make sure to subscribe for more similar content and we'll see you in the next one
