special guests here today it is mr. Dave 2d himself also known as the laptop guy of the Internet I didn't say that aka laptop expert listen I'm here today to tell you some gaming laptop stuff oh boy I played it you're the perfect guy to have here to tell us what do we need to know okay about r-tx what should we look out for in gaming laptops hold on what should we avoid sorry to interrupt this actually feels like I'm on a talk show like is that is that weird not that I've been on its show and we're talking our takes laptops r-tx laptops let's hear it the good they are powerful as heck you have a nice-looking one here by the way sure it's a AC Zephyrus if I'm not mistaken that could be the thinnest 17-inch gaming laptop so the good is that it's you know you're packin a lot of power in this thing right which is great the bad I want to say like 50% more expensive than I think they should be so last year's device it's the 2018 devices were so good so like the 10th series like 1060 1070 1088 with like fast greens 144 Hertz 6 core CPUs this is like basically everything that anyone has ever wanted in a gaming laptop they had them last year they were reasonably well priced and they were good and now they're selling these they're more powerful but they're just so expensive this is the big issue gaming laptop screens are almost all 1080p screens the problems of these r-tx chips are geared to higher resolution stuff and you can't even see them I think in videos trying to push this whole technology of great racing like raytrace graphics look really good and you can do it with these cards you can do with these new laptops but they're just so few games that can support it right is this a case though where the hardware has to get out there first and then the software might you know a little bit of both but I think the bigger issue is that it's difficult to recommend this product to consumers there's no real reason to buy it right now even though there's a lot of hype yeah around RT XL RCX right now yeah youyou really think that people should just be looking at older stuffs Levy's generation not just that I feel like they should look at older so if you're buying a gaming laptop right now in 2019 you should probably look at holder stuff and even if you really want an art text device I'd wait the year out wait full like the next generation of art GX to come out because then you'll know our are there games out there that are going to be supporting raytrace graphics is this really going to be a thing if you're buying art TX Harbor right now you're you're betting that the technology is gonna immerse I think it will but it's gonna be like five years before we see Navy years gonna be a long time like if you're running ray-traced graphics on this machine you're only getting like 60 frames per second it's decent anything less than that you're not even getting 60 frames per second for raytrace graphics so how much is a person spending then 3 grand 3 grand that's where they got a go if they want ray tracing these things need to come down in price it's not there yet manufacturers are smart they know like they price their stuff in a particular way so that you never feel like you're overspending because they're they're putting that extra money that you spent on that product on things that the cheaper companies can't do what universe are you spending on a gaming laptop I think you start losing value after 1600 once you spend like 16 1700 bucks you're like that's their best bang for your buck like MSI GSC thats it I'm not saying that's the one that's the day I'm seeing that you pick that a one if I had to choose if you can afford it the msi GST 5 right now has some serious value because they know who has access to a guy like you to D I mean they can watch you on YouTube everyone's all hyped up about the r-tx stuff and you're saying forget about it for now if money matters to you alright if you got if you have a giant budget and you just want the best of the best shirt artix laptops days but if you if you care about your money and where you're spending it wow it's a better option to go with last year's stuff so it's really it's on the software developers now and they gotta make screens that are higher resolution if I mean if they want to take advantage can we name any games that are there's a couple anthem is coming out soon battlefield supports that are ready r-tx ray-traced that's one game all right you want to buy a $3,000 laptop for one game there are a bunch of r-tx titles that are coming out yeah some of them are pretty big some of them look good but it's like I'd say wait wait for the developers to get on board with this rate trade stuff before you commit because $3,000 is a lot of money with the keyboard being placed below yeah where it would normally be they do it for thermals yeah we shift it down and then now all the hot stuff can vent out a lot easier how's the sound on it Dease a lot of gaming laptops have trashed speakers though it's weird yeah how much gaming are you actually doing a lot I play a lot of games eat overwatch SR I was I was masters grandmasters did you come on here just to say that that's all I want to see I'm done I played it a lot
