2014-01-08
your hardware conducts 2014 CS coverage is brought to you by and cix technology connected alright guys so next up in the MSI suite is going to take a look at the GT Dominator series of gaming notebooks now one of the really cool things about these gaming notebooks that they actually use the current gen high-end mobile GPUs so with the specific device we're looking at either the seven ATM or the 770m and it also includes the most recent as well cpus so we're looking at the i7 and this one and multiple multiple essays these in a raid 0 now this device can also include up to 16 gigs worth of RAM although the vast majority then come shipped with 8 some users have actually experienced that they can bump it up to 16 if they wanted to and they've had positive results now one of the really cool things about this 15.6 inch 1080p screen is that it actually does look pretty damn vibrant it's what you'd expect from a 1080p screen and this device also includes killer doubleshot Nick so you're going to be getting that high networking performance so you don't lose any frame rates and you're not going to be able so you're gonna be able to game and frag and basically just kill everybody if you want to entertain in bf4 msi laptops and the notebooks also feature steelseries keyboards so you are going to be getting the chiclet switches which are actually quite responses are going to get quite a bit of feedback when you press on to it and they have better feedback and they're gonna have a more tactile response when you actually press on to it as well you are going to be getting this beautiful dynaudio dynaudio which actually is extremely high-end audio it actually beats out quite a few other major audio brands in Europe right now so you are getting premium audio as well capacitive buttons here at the top as well as should be going to get the standard trash pad as well one of the major big selling features about these notebooks that they do have aluminum as well too so it does look fantastic when you close the lid and if you're standing behind it looks pretty damn good too plus it adds to the fact that it's very lightweight in comparison to others as well too so the big brother to the GT Dominator series is going to be this one right here it is a 17.3 inch gaming notebook now one of the really cool things we've already mentioned that still serious has a strong hand in developing the keyboards are helping msi with keyboards and one of the really cool things that comes with these keywords is the SteelSeries Engine software so basically every single one of the keys can be reprogrammed using macros so how can you do that basically just do the software so it's really intuitive really easy to use plus you also get ten key roll over on the first half of the anti-ghosting cluster and on the second half you're going to get a five key anti-ghosting set up so you have control here to basically change the color of the backlight different settings and one of the really cool features that comes with this is the actual statistics setting so when a lot of gamers and a lot of professional gamers want to see exactly how many times that they're building a certain unit let's say in starcraft 2 and this would give you that information to see exactly how often you're using that key set in a specific game as well one of the cool things that could be coming in the next little bit as well too is that the profiles when you set up in this in this notebook will change depending on the game that you're playing so you can actually have pre-configured settings where you can configure your own and it will launch the second you get into that game so this is the bigger brother now moving on to this guy right here this is the award-winning GS stealth now I want to point out the one thing at first I thought that this right here the little holes over here we're going to be the speakers it's not that's actual air intake so you have the fans sucking in air here and it blows out on the sides here at a 45-degree angle so depending on which handed you depended miss you are with the mouse you're not going to burn your hand with hot air so that's really really thoughtful and really cool the speaker is up top here and the design is impeccable they didn't skimp on any of the details at all whatsoever as you can see here this is extremely thin and it does actually have an ethernet port so it has that connectivity that you would expect so you don't have to sacrifice cooling or performance to have that slim factor as well too so one of the other features that does come with us is that it does include down audio that we already went through as well extremely high end audio you're gonna be getting great great great sound quality out of it speakers up to up here as well subwoofer down at the bottom it comes with the killer doubleshot Nick keyboard by steelseries you can actually have three different displays pulling off of this and and include super rate so you can have multiple SSDs and arrayed in zero alright guys so now we got a really awesome kickass surprise for you right now this thing right here is MSI's secret weapon now I can't tell you the name I can't tell you the specs but what I can tell you about this thing is that is it it is insanely light and it's what 15 15 inch so this is a 15 inch display and we cannot even open it up we can't even open it up raise it up raise it up I'm gonna lift it up like this okay we can't even lift it or I can't tell you what the specs are I can't tell you what GPU is in it or CPU or any of that stuff but what I can tell you right now is that this will be extremely high on now maybe or it could be budget we don't really know we can't really tell you that much about it other than the fact that it's all it feels like it's all aluminum I mean yeah it's extremely light and the other calling it a secret weapon so and for what you will you
