00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:29,640
least according to raided by Asus uh and
8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,980
an i712 700 H CPU which is a pretty dang
9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,140
good CPU though it is last generation so
10
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:36,000
that's one ways in which uh Asus managed
11
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:38,280

generation support you get a 4070 that's
19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,420

we're gonna we're gonna look at uh how
40
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:40,680
this thing Stacks up against the

00:01:38,939 --> 00:01:42,180
competition
42
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,400

43
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:47,220

checked how how well this deal Compares
45
00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:49,920
against the competition maybe what your
46
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,659
price point is because maybe you want a
47
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,000
QHD display this is a full HD there's
48
00:01:51,659 --> 00:01:57,060
some areas in which this is not as good
49
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,340
as some of the very best laptops out
50
00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:01,619
there right but
51
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:03,180
there's not that many compromises on
52
00:02:01,619 --> 00:02:05,460
this machine because it does have g-sync
53
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:07,320
it has advanced Optimus
54
00:02:05,460 --> 00:02:08,819
um I'm not sure about like a bunch of
55
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,860
the other stuff like how Goods the
56
00:02:08,819 --> 00:02:12,239
speakers you know uh I haven't checked
57
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:13,739
all the ports but Asus usually does a
58
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:15,300
good job on the ports
59
00:02:13,739 --> 00:02:17,099
I'm really excited to check out this
60
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:18,959

64
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,040

00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,560
um you're getting a 40 70 and a higher
67
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,959
TDP 4070 in an Asus chassis which is
68
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,459
usually also a more premium chassis and
69
00:02:33,959 --> 00:02:38,700
you're getting it at a very reasonable
70
00:02:35,459 --> 00:02:41,040
price so I just I'm excited okay so

76
00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:51,480
in the box see what's included in it
77
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,099
we're going to do a flex test and do a
78
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,019
quality control test with the hinges
79
00:02:53,099 --> 00:02:57,000
we're going to disassemble the laptop
80
00:02:55,019 --> 00:02:58,800
we're going to check for upgrade ability
81
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,300
when we take the bottom of the laptop
82
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,500

102
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,280

137
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,620
says dude love your videos you help me
138
00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:57,660
make up my mind just bought the blade 18
139
00:04:55,620 --> 00:04:59,820
two days ago and it's fantastic you are
140
00:04:57,660 --> 00:05:01,860
a star thanks man yeah I'm still I'm
141
00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:03,479
enjoying my Blade 18. the only issue I
142
00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:05,340
have with it is the flickering issue
143
00:05:03,479 --> 00:05:07,139
that seems to still come back every now
144
00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:08,580
and then but yeah
145
00:05:07,139 --> 00:05:10,320
um that goes away if you switch to
146
00:05:08,580 --> 00:05:12,600
Dedicated GPU mode
147
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,220
um but uh I'm working actually I'm
148
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,360
helping Razer try to troubleshoot it to
149
00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:16,560
get rid of the flickering issue right
150
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,660
now so
151
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,040
fingers crossed that will go away it
152
00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:21,540
might just be a software thing because
153
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,979
the software that I have installed on my
154
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:23,940

00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:00,419
and we're looking for the best deals now
170
00:05:58,259 --> 00:06:02,220
we're not perfect but we try to include
171
00:06:00,419 --> 00:06:04,380
and update the prices every day and move
172
00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:06,960
all of the very best deals into the top
173
00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:08,639
deals section and this is a work in
174
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:12,360
progress but we are we've got Cinemax
175
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:14,940
R23 either factual numbers here or
176
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,580
estimated Benchmark results based on
177
00:06:14,940 --> 00:06:20,160
what other laptops score that are in a
178
00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:21,660
similar laptop category so Cinemax R23
179
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,280
is great for measuring your CPU
180
00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:25,380
performance time spy is great for
181
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:27,720
measuring your GPU performance and then
182
00:06:25,380 --> 00:06:30,539
we have these CPU and GPU performance
183
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,479
per dollars which basically gives you an
184
00:06:30,539 --> 00:06:35,759
idea of how much value you're getting in
185
00:06:33,479 --> 00:06:37,800
the CPU category as well as the GPU
186
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:39,900
category for each laptop and you can
187
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,660
sort and filter this laptop list by
188
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:45,300
prices and there is the ability to pop
189
00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:48,479
this open and switch between the
190
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:51,539
different images of each laptop look I
191
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:53,819
look at the reviews under each laptop
192
00:06:51,539 --> 00:06:55,919
uh and if I've made a video on on that
193
00:06:53,819 --> 00:06:58,319
laptop there will be a link to that at
194
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:01,380
the end of the images
195
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:04,080
um and I have now looked at uh reviewed
196
00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:06,419
I've gotten my hands on well over 70
197
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,060
laptops so far this year for gaming
198
00:07:06,419 --> 00:07:11,819
laptops uh and actually unboxed and
199
00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:13,020
reviewed about 30 plus of them I
200
00:07:11,819 --> 00:07:15,960
actually need to count them all up I'm
201
00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:17,039
not sure exactly how many but done a lot
202
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,960
um so
203
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:20,220
anyway the best way you can support me
204
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,020
as a content creator is of course
205
00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:25,440
subscribing coming back to my content
206
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:26,940
and liking the the videos
207
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,500
um but another great way to support me
208
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:30,900
if you do end up finding this list
209
00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:32,340
helpful you can use the affiliate links
210
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:33,780
on the list
211
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:35,099
um and they do will they will help
212
00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:37,860
support me as long as you're using a
213
00:07:35,099 --> 00:07:40,500
browser that allows uh cookie tracking
214
00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:42,599
um so but as always I I always try to
215
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:46,199
put the viewer first uh what you guys
216
00:07:42,599 --> 00:07:48,300
need and want above me personally I'm
217
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:50,280
always trying to be honest about my uh
218
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:51,900
the products that I review and I and I
219
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,599
that's like a huge Focus for me because
220
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:56,699
the more helpful than I am as a reviewer
221
00:07:54,599 --> 00:07:59,520
I think the more successful I will be as
222
00:07:56,699 --> 00:08:01,080
a reviewer so that's my review ethos and
223
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,699
philosophy
224
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:06,720
um and I appreciate all of you here
225
00:08:02,699 --> 00:08:11,639
let's get into uh the top deals so the
226
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:17,400
Asus tough F-15 has an i7 12700h with an
227
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:20,340
RTX 4070 which is a phenomenal value
228
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,800
um 16 gigs of ddr4 3200 so a little bit
229
00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:26,099
slower on the ram speed
230
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,960
but I feel like that's a very good
231
00:08:26,099 --> 00:08:32,339
compromise considering that it comes
232
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:36,839
with an RTX 470 now the i7-12700h is a
233
00:08:32,339 --> 00:08:41,820
much better uh than some of even the
234
00:08:36,839 --> 00:08:44,099
newer CPUs because the i712 700h uh was
235
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:45,959
basically one of the core Flagship CPUs
236
00:08:44,099 --> 00:08:49,260
from last year not like the cut down
237
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:52,200
ones that are like 13 500 H or 12 500 H
238
00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:54,240
and all those or the I5 CPUs
239
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,459
um that said some of the I5 CPUs are
240
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,380
actually pretty good like the HX i5s are
241
00:08:56,459 --> 00:08:59,519
actually pretty close to this
242
00:08:58,380 --> 00:09:01,320
um but
243
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:03,420
let's continue on so we got a one
244
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,540
terabyte SSD which is phenomenal value
245
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:09,600
again at the 1149 price point full HD
246
00:09:06,540 --> 00:09:12,720
144 Hertz 100 srgb and I want to point
247
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,839
out this is on sale temporarily all
248
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,760
right this is going to be 13.99 ordinary
249
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:19,440
pricing it's been 13.99 this is the
250
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,959
first time we've seen this laptop go on
251
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,399
sale at 13.99 I thought this was still a
252
00:09:21,959 --> 00:09:28,279
pretty good deal because it's one of the
253
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:31,860
cheapest RTX 4070s at 13.99 at 11.99
254
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:35,700
it's just I mean it's just phenomenal
255
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:38,580
value now uh it is currently unavailable
256
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:40,260
to actually buy it appears to be sold
257
00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:42,120
out it was not sold out when I started
258
00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:44,279
the live stream earlier when I checked
259
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,779
it earlier it appears to be sold out at
260
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:47,160
least right now but you can check your
261
00:09:45,779 --> 00:09:49,080
local Best Buys because this is
262
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,060
basically the online order if you have a
263
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,980
local Best Buy you could uh potentially
264
00:09:51,060 --> 00:09:55,140
reserve it for pickup
265
00:09:52,980 --> 00:09:58,320
um or if it comes back into stock you'll
266
00:09:55,140 --> 00:10:00,600
be able to to order it then and if this
267
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,880
thing reviews well we get decent
268
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,880
thermals decent performance and the
269
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:08,399
display is as good as I think it is
270
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,440
I still think at 13.99 it's probably a
271
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:13,200
one of the better deals out there for
272
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,660
gaming laptops and so 1149 is just like
273
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,920
I'm like this is an absolutely monster
274
00:10:15,660 --> 00:10:18,000
deal
275
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,320
um but let's talk about some of the
276
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,240
other ones because there are some other
277
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,760
deals out there right now that are still
278
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,779
very attractive one of them is the MSI
279
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,519
pulse 15. it comes with an i7
280
00:10:26,779 --> 00:10:31,200
13620h which is like a slightly cut down
281
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:33,720
i7
282
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,080
um processor so this one has like I
283
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:39,899
believe reduced core count uh let's see
284
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,420
here so it has uh 10 total cores with
285
00:10:39,899 --> 00:10:44,820
six performance cores and only four
286
00:10:42,420 --> 00:10:46,740
efficiency cores
287
00:10:44,820 --> 00:10:50,660
um so that gives it a total of 16
288
00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:54,540
threads and for example the i7
289
00:10:50,660 --> 00:10:56,579
12700h if we search that up you can see
290
00:10:54,540 --> 00:10:59,459
that it actually comes with 14 total
291
00:10:56,579 --> 00:11:01,260
cores six performance cores and eight
292
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:03,180
efficiency cores so you're getting more
293
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:04,620
performance with the tough from a CPU
294
00:11:03,180 --> 00:11:07,440
perspective because of the additional
295
00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:09,720
cores but but
296
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,360
um the the nice thing about the pulse 15
297
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:15,660
is it's very portable and has a high
298
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,160
quality QHD 165 Hertz display that's
299
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:19,680
actually a higher color gamut than the
300
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,019
tough and this thing's only 11.49 so if
301
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:25,740
you're after a higher quality display
302
00:11:22,019 --> 00:11:27,600
over say raw performance then the pulse
303
00:11:25,740 --> 00:11:31,560
15 is very attractive this is normally
304
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:34,079
priced at I believe 14.99 so 11.49 for
305
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:36,240
this one's an even bigger sale than the
306
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:40,920
tough though I think the tough is the
307
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:43,440
Tufts retail price is better uh than the
308
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,000
pulse 15s standard retail price so I
309
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,399
mean like it gets complicated all the
310
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,680
pricing at 11 49 I think the pulse 15 is
311
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:54,420
just a phenomenal deal the MSI Vector
312
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:56,760
gp66 this has an I9 12900h so it's a
313
00:11:54,420 --> 00:11:58,560
previous Gen processor
314
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:02,420
um and it you know you you really can't
315
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:04,800
compare the I9 1200h with the the new I9
316
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:06,779
13900hx because this one does not have
317
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,200
nearly as many cores and threads this
318
00:12:06,779 --> 00:12:12,060
one's only a 14 core 20 thread part so
319
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:16,200
not that different honestly from the
320
00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:18,959
tough F-15 processor but the big thing
321
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:22,620
about the vector gp66 is this has an RTX
322
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:26,060
4080 in it a one terabyte SSD and a full
323
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:29,279
HD 144 Hertz supposedly only rated at 45
324
00:12:26,060 --> 00:12:31,200
ntsc but we've actually got to find that
325
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:33,540
out for ourselves and figure it out this
326
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,339
should be a 16 by 10 aspect ratio
327
00:12:33,540 --> 00:12:37,860
display so it should not be the same
328
00:12:35,339 --> 00:12:40,260
crappy displays that's in msi's cheapest
329
00:12:37,860 --> 00:12:43,440
lap laptops out there this is basically
330
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:46,740
the more budgeted version of the ge68
331
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:49,560
this one is currently the cheapest RTX
332
00:12:46,740 --> 00:12:51,300
4080 that money can buy and provides a
333
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:53,639
phenomenal bang for the buck at least on
334
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:55,440
paper but I have yet to get it in for
335
00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:57,180
review but I should have it in the mail
336
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,720
this week and we can do an unboxing
337
00:12:57,180 --> 00:13:02,399
review probably next week on the vector
338
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,339
gp66 or 68.
339
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:06,680
the Asus strix GA team this is another
340
00:13:05,339 --> 00:13:10,459
monster sale
341
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:13,800
24.99 this is this has the top
342
00:13:10,459 --> 00:13:17,700
i93980hx CPU goes to the maximum wattage
343
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:20,399
RTX 4080 so extremely powerful GPU
344
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:24,120
16 gigs of ddr5 one terabyte SSD and a
345
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:26,760
QHD 240 hertz 500 nits display with very
346
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:29,040
close to 100 Adobe and P3 color gamut so
347
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,860
extremely bright very vibrant high
348
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,600
quality display on this and it's 2100 so
349
00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:37,320
this is a nice step up from the vector
350
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,940
GP 60 68 both in CPU performance and
351
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:43,639
display quality
352
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:45,839
The Omen 17 this has a 4080 for 21.89
353
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:47,519
I'm mentioning this one because this one
354
00:13:45,839 --> 00:13:51,180
is still a good deal but it's not as
355
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:52,380
good I think as the G18 if the G18 is
356
00:13:51,180 --> 00:13:54,600
still in stock I would go for that
357
00:13:52,380 --> 00:13:57,300
because it is an 18 inch chassis uh 18
358
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,680
inch display 16 by 10 with the it's got
359
00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:00,300
a better display almost everything's
360
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:02,399
better about the strix G18 but I think
361
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:05,940
the G18 is probably going to sell out
362
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:08,279
the Acer Nitro 5 this one is one of the
363
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:11,420
best deals under a thousand dollars at
364
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:16,260
8.99 got an i5 12
365
00:14:11,420 --> 00:14:22,079
500h RTX 4050 16 gigs of RAM ddr5 full
366
00:14:16,260 --> 00:14:25,139
HD 144hz 70 srgb now this one at 8.99 is
367
00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:27,300
quite attractive uh and it's I think a
368
00:14:25,139 --> 00:14:29,040
nice stable price it was a thousand
369
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:29,880
dollars I did an unboxing review of this
370
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,560
one
371
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,440
um I don't think this one's
372
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,420
you know an amazing amazing deal but I
373
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,100
think it's pretty dang good and I don't
374
00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:39,600
believe this one's gonna sell out very
375
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:41,399
quickly so if you're at a 900 price
376
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,540
point for your budget this one's a good
377
00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:44,699
option if you want to save some money
378
00:14:42,540 --> 00:14:47,160
and just play 1080p games
379
00:14:44,699 --> 00:14:49,320
okay so that goes over the all of the
380
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,660
best like five or six deals right now
381
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,959
but there are a lot of deals over here
382
00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:56,940
on the the list so feel free to hop over
383
00:14:54,959 --> 00:14:58,380
to that during this live stream look at
384
00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:59,880
it while we do this review of the laptop
385
00:14:58,380 --> 00:15:01,680
and browse around you can set your
386
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,880
budget over here and the price or
387
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,139
whatever
388
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,519
um and of course you can ask me any
389
00:15:04,139 --> 00:15:08,399
questions in chat and I'll try to answer
390
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:09,180
them as best I can now
391
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:11,579
um
392
00:15:09,180 --> 00:15:13,920
yeah without further Ado let's go ahead
393
00:15:11,579 --> 00:15:17,339
and get into the unboxing of the tough
394
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:20,040
F-15 and let me also check in with chat
395
00:15:17,339 --> 00:15:22,680
and see how things are going
396
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,779
okay
397
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,180
speaking of the gp60 I'm surprised the
398
00:15:24,779 --> 00:15:29,519
GP ge68 in the same chassis got weaker
399
00:15:27,180 --> 00:15:32,639
Hardware but better screen well GP 78
400
00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:34,440
has the same Hardware as the ge78 yeah
401
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:39,000
that's pretty interesting LSP because
402
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:41,220
the GE 68 can't do the 4080 but the gp6
403
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,440
68 cam I don't know that is very aware
404
00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:45,120
okay Thunder one says I bought this
405
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,040
laptop or I bought the laptop a month
406
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,399
prior for 13.99 this laptop's the only
407
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,620
problem I had with it is that the lower
408
00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:54,660
uh I had to lower the CPU wattage to 45
409
00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:56,639
watts to reach good CPU temps and not
410
00:15:54,660 --> 00:15:58,139
reach 95 degrees Celsius oh that's
411
00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:59,519
interesting
412
00:15:58,139 --> 00:16:01,440
um yeah we'll have to see we'll have to
413
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:03,899
see how The Thermals are this is a
414
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,279
fairly thin laptop and if you can go to
415
00:16:03,899 --> 00:16:07,500
a high wattage then yeah I would expect
416
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:10,800
the temps to potentially go Fairly high
417
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:12,779
on the CPU Brandon says uh wouldn't
418
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,160
bother testing Warzone today that new
419
00:16:12,779 --> 00:16:17,279
patch is completely killed performance
420
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:19,680
talking like 50 FPS drop compared to
421
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:21,180
below previous previous patches we think
422
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,720
what you're saying interesting Brandon
423
00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:27,480
uh yeah I did update war zone 2 today so
424
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,339
maybe it will be problematic thanks for
425
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,079
the heads up though uh we'll try to take
426
00:16:29,339 --> 00:16:32,639
a look at that
427
00:16:31,079 --> 00:16:34,800
um what's up Luis welcome to the stream
428
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:36,480
okay
429
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,160
all right so
430
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,320
uh and thanks for the like so this is
431
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,839
the tough F-15 box you can see we got
432
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:46,620
the logo here we got the tough
433
00:16:42,839 --> 00:16:48,139
um logo here and uh you know this is
434
00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:51,180
kind of their
435
00:16:48,139 --> 00:16:54,540
military-ish design
436
00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:58,259
um and supposedly has more robust build
437
00:16:54,540 --> 00:17:00,180
quality of the of the laptop but we'll
438
00:16:58,259 --> 00:17:03,000
have to see
439
00:17:00,180 --> 00:17:05,459
um budget tip for this budget tops
440
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,959
what thanks so much Xander for the five
441
00:17:05,459 --> 00:17:08,760
dollar Super Chat I appreciate the
442
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:10,679
support man that really does mean a lot
443
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,699
okay so uh we got this kind of
444
00:17:10,679 --> 00:17:13,860
interesting
445
00:17:11,699 --> 00:17:17,179
design thing up here I don't know
446
00:17:13,860 --> 00:17:17,179
um I think these are stickers
447
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:23,839
so if you want to pause it you can take
448
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,839
a closer look at those
449
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,380
um but that is pretty interesting uh I
450
00:17:26,939 --> 00:17:30,900
don't know I wouldn't probably use them
451
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:32,520
I'm not a big sticker guy myself
452
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:35,340
but if you're a sticker guy and you want
453
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,380
stickers there's some stickers for you
454
00:17:35,340 --> 00:17:39,539
um and
455
00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:41,960
here's the laptop it comes wrapped in a
456
00:17:39,539 --> 00:17:41,960
cloth
457
00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:48,120
voila so again we have the tough logo
458
00:17:46,919 --> 00:17:51,660
right here
459
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:54,960
and this is a metal back which is nice
460
00:17:51,660 --> 00:17:57,660
not all 11 50 laptops come with a metal
461
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:00,299
back I love that
462
00:17:57,660 --> 00:18:02,340
um I know it's 1400 normally so I guess
463
00:18:00,299 --> 00:18:04,020
it makes sense but the tough laptops
464
00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:06,480
usually come with a metal back as far as
465
00:18:04,020 --> 00:18:09,179
I remember now opening this up we've got
466
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,400
the another cloth
467
00:18:09,179 --> 00:18:14,580
um and here is the laptop keyboard you
468
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:17,820
can see we do have an awesome layout for
469
00:18:14,580 --> 00:18:19,860
a 15 inch uh laptop we got a we got a
470
00:18:17,820 --> 00:18:20,940
number pad we got separated arrow keys
471
00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:22,679
over here
472
00:18:20,940 --> 00:18:24,660
um we got extra function keys along the
473
00:18:22,679 --> 00:18:27,120
top I really like the keyboard we'll go
474
00:18:24,660 --> 00:18:29,640
into that more later but uh you can see
475
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:31,140
this is a 16 by nine aspect ratio
476
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,480
display that's one of the ways in which
477
00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:34,980
Asus is able to provide this laptop at
478
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,760
the excellent price that they are
479
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:41,400
selling it for and it has adaptive sync
480
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,380
instead of g-sync I believe well it says
481
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,240
g-sync over here so I guess it is g-sync
482
00:18:43,380 --> 00:18:47,280
certified so it has both
483
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,340
um okay
484
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,840
so looking at the bottom of the laptop
485
00:18:49,340 --> 00:18:54,419
this I feel like may not be enough
486
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,340
ventilation which may cause a maybe
487
00:18:54,419 --> 00:18:59,940
cause a little bit of thermal issues or
488
00:18:56,340 --> 00:19:02,039
potentially I'll bet you I will bet you
489
00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:04,080
this laptop would really benefit from a
490
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:06,419
laptop cooler and if you have not seen
491
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:09,480
my laptop cooler comparison video
492
00:19:06,419 --> 00:19:11,940
check it out because uh we did do some
493
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:15,059
comparison with four different laptop
494
00:19:11,940 --> 00:19:17,039
coolers live on live stream and uh we
495
00:19:15,059 --> 00:19:19,260
saw a noticeable performance gains and
496
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:23,400
temperature drops especially with the
497
00:19:19,260 --> 00:19:25,080
best cooler the is GT500 so this laptop
498
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,559
very well may benefit from a laptop
499
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:30,900
cooler because of the limited uh intake
500
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:32,580
for the ventilation some some people
501
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:34,919
when they have a limited intake when the
502
00:19:32,580 --> 00:19:37,620
ventilation like this uh actually drill
503
00:19:34,919 --> 00:19:38,760
extra holes in the bottom like dude you
504
00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:40,919
know just like around the fan interest
505
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,820
where the intakes are
506
00:19:40,919 --> 00:19:43,500
um
507
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:45,020
I'm not I'm not gonna do that on this
508
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:48,840
review laptop but that might help
509
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:50,640
temperatures a little bit okay so um
510
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:54,059
let's go ahead and review the ports well
511
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:56,880
we got the laptop out here
512
00:19:54,059 --> 00:19:58,020
um and I'm gonna pull up the tech specs
513
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,240
for
514
00:19:58,020 --> 00:20:02,280
the ports while we do this so I can make
515
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,940
sure we get all of the little details
516
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,940
correct
517
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:12,320
all right so this is the Asus website
518
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:21,059
um can I go to IO and ports there we go
519
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,960
all right so
520
00:20:21,059 --> 00:20:23,460
um
521
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,679
we'll start on the this other side
522
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:30,120
because it's very simple we've got one
523
00:20:25,679 --> 00:20:31,559
USB 3.2 gen 1 type A on the right side
524
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:33,660
over here
525
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:36,360
um so that's this guy
526
00:20:33,660 --> 00:20:39,840
uh and in addition we have a Kensington
527
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:41,700
Lockport and a fan exhaust over here at
528
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,799
the back of the laptop
529
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:46,380
and then on the very back of the laptop
530
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:48,480
we have two more fan exhausts but no
531
00:20:46,380 --> 00:20:50,940
ports in the back which some people like
532
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,340
that some people won't almost all the
533
00:20:50,940 --> 00:20:57,240
ports on this laptop are stacked up on
534
00:20:53,340 --> 00:21:00,660
this right side over here we've got a
535
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:05,880
power port an RJ45 ethernet port HDMI
536
00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:07,440
2.1 Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 1.4
537
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,720
support so you can do higher refresh
538
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,820
rate high resolution gaming output like
539
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,400
the monitor behind me
540
00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:16,320
and in addition we have power delivery
541
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:21,600
100 watts of power delivery support
542
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:23,880
through that Port as well and USBC 3.2
543
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,419
Gen 2 with power delivery and 1.4
544
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:30,539
support again and then we have another
545
00:21:26,419 --> 00:21:35,340
USB 3.2 gen 1 type A and then we have
546
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:37,679
our headset adapter Port so uh we can
547
00:21:35,340 --> 00:21:40,860
plug in a lot of things into this laptop
548
00:21:37,679 --> 00:21:42,960
and the port quality is excellent like
549
00:21:40,860 --> 00:21:46,020
some manufacturers this year put like
550
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,820
USB 2.0 on their laptops or like they
551
00:21:46,020 --> 00:21:49,980
didn't do a thunderbolt 4 on the laptop
552
00:21:47,820 --> 00:21:52,740
or whatever because it costs a little
553
00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:55,260
bit extra Asus with the extra mile and
554
00:21:52,740 --> 00:21:57,000
put higher quality ports basically has
555
00:21:55,260 --> 00:21:59,520
high quality ports as you can the main
556
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,520
criticism I would have of this laptop is
557
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:05,820
there are only four total USBS on here
558
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,580
so two USBC types and two USB a types
559
00:22:05,820 --> 00:22:09,960
and I usually prefer to have five and
560
00:22:08,580 --> 00:22:12,179
then of course there's no full size or
561
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,039
mini SD card slots which which is
562
00:22:12,179 --> 00:22:16,020
another downside or mini display ports
563
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:17,460
so it doesn't have the most ports out
564
00:22:16,020 --> 00:22:20,520
there but the ports that are included
565
00:22:17,460 --> 00:22:23,220
are high quality and unless you're a
566
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,500
left-hander the port layout is actually
567
00:22:23,220 --> 00:22:29,120
really good okay so what else is
568
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:33,740
included in the Box let's continue our
569
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:33,740
unboxing here is the power cable
570
00:22:34,140 --> 00:22:40,740
all right so this guy is uh almost six
571
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:42,059
feet long maybe just a hair shorter than
572
00:22:40,740 --> 00:22:46,340
six feet
573
00:22:42,059 --> 00:22:50,340
and then our power adapter right here
574
00:22:46,340 --> 00:22:52,440
fairly portable not huge but also it
575
00:22:50,340 --> 00:22:53,900
doesn't really need to be that high of a
576
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,240
power output
577
00:22:53,900 --> 00:23:00,059
240 Watts on the back of this is the
578
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,039
Asus power adapter 240 watts and of
579
00:23:00,059 --> 00:23:06,659
course if you're on the go you could use
580
00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:11,039
a USBC power adapter if you need to as a
581
00:23:06,659 --> 00:23:13,140
supplemental power supply to keep your
582
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:15,480
um keep your laptop running when it's
583
00:23:13,140 --> 00:23:17,520
low on juice say at a call in college or
584
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,400
in class or at the office and then of
585
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,860
course ideally you don't usually game on
586
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,140
a USBC power input you probably could
587
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:26,760
actually on the 4000 series especially
588
00:23:25,140 --> 00:23:29,760
up to 40 70 you probably gain pretty
589
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:32,700
well on a USBC input but it's not going
590
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,440
to be as good as the full power adapter
591
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:37,799
because this thing can supply all the
592
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:40,440
juice the laptop needs for its uh full
593
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:43,799
levels of performance
594
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,480
um okay what else is included
595
00:23:43,799 --> 00:23:47,580
in this
596
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,200
box we've got a lot of little pamphlets
597
00:23:47,580 --> 00:23:52,220
here in the middle
598
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,220
let's take a look
599
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:59,000
all right so we've got the Asus tough
600
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:59,000
user guide
601
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:06,720
and in here we have basically you know
602
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,159
um all of our little indicator lights
603
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,200
and
604
00:24:08,159 --> 00:24:13,500
tells you where like the microphone and
605
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,059
webcam are the touch pad the numeric
606
00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:16,620
keyboard layout all means very basic
607
00:24:15,059 --> 00:24:18,419
pretty much all of you know all this
608
00:24:16,620 --> 00:24:20,039
information anyway you probably want to
609
00:24:18,419 --> 00:24:22,740
look at it anyway just to make sure you
610
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:24,659
you grasp everything but make sure you
611
00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:27,120
plug in the power adapter to the laptop
612
00:24:24,659 --> 00:24:29,220
before you boot it on for the first time
613
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:33,200
and then looks like this thing repeats
614
00:24:29,220 --> 00:24:33,200
itself probably in different languages
615
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:38,340
yeah pretty much nothing else in there
616
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:41,240
is relevant uh congratulations on your
617
00:24:38,340 --> 00:24:41,240
Asus product
618
00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:46,200
in the unlikely event that your computer
619
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,980
requires warranty service please contact
620
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:52,500
Best Buy or Asus for support
621
00:24:49,980 --> 00:24:54,600
so there's the number right there if you
622
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:57,120
need to contact for support
623
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,580
um which is I believe the Best Buy Geek
624
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:01,440
Squad protection number
625
00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:03,299
um and so I guess you're going to go
626
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,679
right through Best Buy support for
627
00:25:03,299 --> 00:25:06,240
fixing the laptop if you run into
628
00:25:04,679 --> 00:25:07,559
warranty issues and of course if you do
629
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,059
buy this through Best Buy which is the
630
00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:10,260
only place I right now that you can buy
631
00:25:09,059 --> 00:25:11,880
it from
632
00:25:10,260 --> 00:25:14,640
um that I know of they usually have an
633
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:18,260
excellent return policy if you need to
634
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,400
take it back so that's always very nice
635
00:25:18,260 --> 00:25:22,679
I've had to return a lot of products to
636
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,200
Best Buy and uh never had a problem so
637
00:25:22,679 --> 00:25:26,940
far I've gotten a few weird looks before
638
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,000
but other than that never had a problem
639
00:25:26,940 --> 00:25:32,340
all right uh charge your notebook PC
640
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:36,140
blah blah blah plug it in okay we that's
641
00:25:32,340 --> 00:25:36,140
we don't need to go over that uh
642
00:25:37,020 --> 00:25:41,539
safety precautions for your notebook
643
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,960
um yeah so they have some basic stuff
644
00:25:43,380 --> 00:25:48,779
about like not removing the battery uh
645
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,580
there is a warranty card here uh you
646
00:25:48,779 --> 00:25:52,080
ideally you don't even need to fill this
647
00:25:50,580 --> 00:25:54,900
out and send this in you can just
648
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,039
register online with my Asus and that'll
649
00:25:54,900 --> 00:26:01,020
register your product uh to your email
650
00:25:58,039 --> 00:26:04,080
so so yeah you don't really have to to
651
00:26:01,020 --> 00:26:05,880
deal with that registration
652
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,760
pamphlet at all
653
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,080
but that's everything that's in the box
654
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,620
so let me go ahead and just put the box
655
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,620
back together
656
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,679
and I suppose we could start off by just
657
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,299
taking this bad boy apart yeah what do
658
00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:24,500
you think
659
00:26:21,299 --> 00:26:24,500
checking chat
660
00:26:26,039 --> 00:26:31,220
can confirm you need a cooler with this
661
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,220
laptop LOL says Thunder one
662
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:36,419
is it possible for me to review the
663
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,940
Alienware x16 I would love to
664
00:26:36,419 --> 00:26:41,760
uh hopefully before the fall I'll try to
665
00:26:38,940 --> 00:26:43,020
get an Alienware x16 if I can
666
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,299
um John Wick hey guys I love your
667
00:26:43,020 --> 00:26:46,679
channel and your videos thanks John
668
00:26:45,299 --> 00:26:48,299
um Matt says I know this is off topic
669
00:26:46,679 --> 00:26:50,460
but with the legion Pro 7i being on sale
670
00:26:48,299 --> 00:26:51,539
would you recommend the 4080 or 40 90 I
671
00:26:50,460 --> 00:26:54,120
want something that will last a little
672
00:26:51,539 --> 00:26:55,980
bit into the future the 4090 will last
673
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:59,460
longer into the future because it has 16
674
00:26:55,980 --> 00:27:00,900
gigs of vram versus 12 gigs of vram and
675
00:26:59,460 --> 00:27:04,080
several of the games that came out this
676
00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:05,640
year even at QHD resolution needed more
677
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,039
than 12 gigs of vram so I would
678
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:11,520
recommend the 4090 if you can swing the
679
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:13,320
extra 500 600 dollars
680
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,700
um but you can get great performance
681
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,380
with the 4080 you're just going to turn
682
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:18,659
textures down a little bit in certain
683
00:27:16,380 --> 00:27:20,880
titles like Last of Us
684
00:27:18,659 --> 00:27:23,400
um so yeah
685
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:26,400
I thought tough stood for rugged yeah it
686
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:29,720
pretty much is uh rugged yeah maybe you
687
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,720
could run an RV over this one
688
00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:36,059
so he's referring to my MSI gt73 VR
689
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,580
which was like a 5 000 laptop that a
690
00:27:36,059 --> 00:27:40,500
friend of mine left in my backpack on
691
00:27:38,580 --> 00:27:42,419
the ground outside my RV and we drove
692
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:45,059
over it and it on accident and it
693
00:27:42,419 --> 00:27:46,380
crushed it so it's amazingly the laptop
694
00:27:45,059 --> 00:27:47,760
still worked but you had to plug in an
695
00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:49,380
external display because the display was
696
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,820
busted
697
00:27:49,380 --> 00:27:52,500
um Duke says the biggest issue I have
698
00:27:50,820 --> 00:27:54,900
with the F-15 is the power port is too
699
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:56,340
close to the network Port uh interesting
700
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:57,539
if the power adapter had a straight
701
00:27:56,340 --> 00:27:59,640
connector it would have been better
702
00:27:57,539 --> 00:28:00,779
that's probably true I could see that
703
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,820
you'd have to make sure the power
704
00:28:00,779 --> 00:28:04,260
adapter is flipped one way away from the
705
00:28:02,820 --> 00:28:05,779
network Port
706
00:28:04,260 --> 00:28:08,039
um what he's talking about is right here
707
00:28:05,779 --> 00:28:10,440
because if the power if you want the
708
00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:13,380
cable going forward then it's going to
709
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,760
go over that Network Port and cause some
710
00:28:13,380 --> 00:28:16,080
to basically make the network Port
711
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,960
unusable unless you flip the power
712
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,000
adapter to go backwards so good
713
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,900
observation
714
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,080
um is this model available
715
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:27,900
internationally like in India uh I'm not
716
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,220
sure if it is now it probably will be at
717
00:28:27,900 --> 00:28:31,500
some point I'm guessing there's a
718
00:28:29,220 --> 00:28:33,179
limited supply of these because this is
719
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:35,460
going to be Asus is probably most
720
00:28:33,179 --> 00:28:37,620
popular laptop this year probably if I
721
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:39,120
were to guess one of their most popular
722
00:28:37,620 --> 00:28:41,520
if not the most popular because it's
723
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:45,059
like the best bang for the buck Asus
724
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:47,400
laptop as far as I can tell all right
725
00:28:45,059 --> 00:28:49,140
um I think it's pretty close to the best
726
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,360
at least when it's on sale for 11.49 it
727
00:28:49,140 --> 00:28:52,620
probably it is right now but it yeah
728
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,000
anyway all right so let's go ahead and
729
00:28:52,620 --> 00:28:56,000
take the bottom of this laptop off
730
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,679
um I'm gonna grab the tools down here
731
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,200
okay
732
00:29:09,659 --> 00:29:15,120
and I'm just gonna plug the laptop
733
00:29:11,659 --> 00:29:16,380
adapter in well I'm at it down here all
734
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,860
right
735
00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:23,039
very good
736
00:29:18,860 --> 00:29:24,659
okay so let's see what you need to open
737
00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:28,559
this guy up it looks like you're just
738
00:29:24,659 --> 00:29:30,480
gonna need a fairly basic small Phillips
739
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:31,380
head to open this guy up looks pretty
740
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,899
easy
741
00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:35,880
I'm not sure if you can see it but I'm
742
00:29:33,899 --> 00:29:37,260
just using not even that small of a
743
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,980
Phillips head
744
00:29:37,260 --> 00:29:39,980
for this
745
00:29:41,460 --> 00:29:46,820
and um yeah so let's go ahead and see if
746
00:29:44,220 --> 00:29:46,820
that works well
747
00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:50,000
it does
748
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,860
um and I am using there's a link in the
749
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,120
description to the uh the unboxing kit
750
00:29:55,860 --> 00:29:58,500
that I'm using
751
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,480
um it has all the tools you need for
752
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:01,919
unboxing and taking apart all these
753
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,360
laptops
754
00:30:01,919 --> 00:30:05,460
um and it's probably the best kit you
755
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,919
can buy but it is a little bit more
756
00:30:05,460 --> 00:30:09,659
expensive than a more basic kit you can
757
00:30:07,919 --> 00:30:12,179
feel free to shop around for better
758
00:30:09,659 --> 00:30:13,980
prices if you want but if you want the
759
00:30:12,179 --> 00:30:16,399
best kit it's probably the one Linked In
760
00:30:13,980 --> 00:30:16,399
the description
761
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:20,520
so this one is really nice because it
762
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,500
has a
763
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,720
this thing rotates so you can easily
764
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:27,480
rotate it and it's magnetic and there's
765
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,640
basically every type of possible
766
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,440
connect all every type of possible head
767
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:35,360
you're gonna need ever need to open any
768
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,360
kind of electronic pretty much
769
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,799
so this is a pop-up screw it's not
770
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:44,279
coming out
771
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:46,440
so pop-up screws what a pop-up screw is
772
00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:48,779
a screw that is designed to stay in the
773
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,299
bottom of the laptop and when you
774
00:30:48,779 --> 00:30:54,419
unscrew it it actually separates the
775
00:30:51,299 --> 00:30:57,179
bottom of the laptop chassis from the
776
00:30:54,419 --> 00:30:59,460
main body so that way it's easier to
777
00:30:57,179 --> 00:31:01,200
take the laptop apart and Asus has been
778
00:30:59,460 --> 00:31:04,260
doing pop-up screws in their laptops for
779
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:08,399
a couple years now and I really I really
780
00:31:04,260 --> 00:31:09,779
like the um the pop-up screw because you
781
00:31:08,399 --> 00:31:11,460
know I take a lot of laptops apart and
782
00:31:09,779 --> 00:31:14,279
having a pop-up screw
783
00:31:11,460 --> 00:31:17,840
definitely makes it easier to take every
784
00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:17,840
laptop apart pretty much that has one
785
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:27,840
okay so looks like I have one more screw
786
00:31:23,220 --> 00:31:32,840
to take out and it does look like there
787
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,840
are a couple of different sizes of screw
788
00:31:33,419 --> 00:31:36,960
yeah
789
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:38,220
like the ones in the middle here are a
790
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,320
little bit longer than the ones on the
791
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:44,159
side so you're going to want to keep
792
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:46,320
your screws separated okay so two Longs
793
00:31:44,159 --> 00:31:47,940
right here and then the ones on the side
794
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,559
are a little bit shorter if you get them
795
00:31:47,940 --> 00:31:51,960
mixed up you can use that kind of as a
796
00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:53,940
Rough Guide
797
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,760
um okay
798
00:31:53,940 --> 00:31:59,399
let's go into
799
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:02,700
taking this guy apart
800
00:31:59,399 --> 00:32:05,100
all right so let's grab this guy so I
801
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:07,260
usually try to hold the laptop in my lap
802
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:09,360
when I take these things apart into the
803
00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:11,220
am there's a link in the description if
804
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,080
you want to get some awesome t-shirts
805
00:32:11,220 --> 00:32:15,000
they have really cool designs uh and
806
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,220
great basic T-shirts they honestly their
807
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,080
shirt designs are just as good as the
808
00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:21,779
quality of the cut of their of their
809
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:24,179
t-shirts I highly recommend them I
810
00:32:21,779 --> 00:32:26,220
really enjoy them anyway Link in the
811
00:32:24,179 --> 00:32:28,620
description for 10 off and if you use
812
00:32:26,220 --> 00:32:30,840
the link it does help support me as a
813
00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:33,740
content creator so
814
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,740
it's very cool
815
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:41,480
interesting
816
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,480
all right so this is coming up nicely
817
00:32:48,419 --> 00:32:54,659
this part is not separating quite as
818
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:56,520
well as I'd like
819
00:32:54,659 --> 00:32:58,500
come on
820
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,620
there we go
821
00:32:58,500 --> 00:33:04,799
all right so we've got the bottom inside
822
00:33:01,620 --> 00:33:08,360
taken off now let's move around to the
823
00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:08,360
uh the back
824
00:33:11,059 --> 00:33:15,240
this back is going to be a little bit
825
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:18,779
tricky
826
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,279
I think I'm going to use a uh this pry
827
00:33:18,779 --> 00:33:21,899
tool here
828
00:33:20,279 --> 00:33:24,659
to kind of get in here and get a little
829
00:33:21,899 --> 00:33:26,460
bit more leverage there we go then what
830
00:33:24,659 --> 00:33:29,059
just the guitar pick one would be able
831
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:29,059
to give me
832
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:39,240
all right so we got the back popped out
833
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,460
let's move along the front and I'm
834
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,019
starting at the the front corner instead
835
00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:44,880
of the back because the back I don't
836
00:33:43,019 --> 00:33:47,700
know the back has a weird transition
837
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,679
that makes it difficult
838
00:33:47,700 --> 00:33:50,820
okay
839
00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:54,240
um and
840
00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:56,279
now that I see it there is a screw right
841
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,019
here behind the orange plastic thing so
842
00:33:56,279 --> 00:34:00,360
you're gonna need to take that out
843
00:33:58,019 --> 00:34:03,960
as well
844
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:05,580
I did not notice that screw
845
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,600
so
846
00:34:05,580 --> 00:34:09,419
and you're going to want to make sure
847
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:12,000
you keep that one separated it is
848
00:34:09,419 --> 00:34:13,440
shorter that is a shorter screw there in
849
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,399
the middle
850
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:19,200
so in the end you have four long screws
851
00:34:17,399 --> 00:34:21,119
um total all right so the bottom is
852
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,220
completely
853
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:26,359
removable now so let's go ahead and
854
00:34:23,220 --> 00:34:26,359
switch this over to here
855
00:34:26,580 --> 00:34:33,599
all right and there goes the bottom
856
00:34:30,119 --> 00:34:35,399
let's check out the internals and see
857
00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:37,020
what the cooling system is like and what
858
00:34:35,399 --> 00:34:38,399
the upgrade ability is like and all of
859
00:34:37,020 --> 00:34:41,820
that
860
00:34:38,399 --> 00:34:45,679
um here we go all right so
861
00:34:41,820 --> 00:34:45,679
camera position correctly
862
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:55,740
all right well
863
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:58,920
um these are two beefy speakers already
864
00:34:55,740 --> 00:35:01,619
here on the right and left sides you can
865
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,180
see those are just looking at them I can
866
00:35:01,619 --> 00:35:05,820
see they're bigger than average speaker
867
00:35:03,180 --> 00:35:09,619
so I'm hoping that these speakers are
868
00:35:05,820 --> 00:35:13,079
going to be above average just initial
869
00:35:09,619 --> 00:35:15,780
physical Impressions a 90 watt hour
870
00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:18,540
battery that's a very good value almost
871
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:22,260
every laptop around the 1100 price point
872
00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:23,880
comes with like uh 60 to maybe 80 watt
873
00:35:22,260 --> 00:35:27,060
hour range with the average probably
874
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,800
being 70 Watt hours so getting a 91 hour
875
00:35:27,060 --> 00:35:31,619
battery means you're probably going to
876
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,119
get really good battery life on this
877
00:35:31,619 --> 00:35:35,520
laptop
878
00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:36,660
and uh because it comes with Advanced
879
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,760
Optimus
880
00:35:36,660 --> 00:35:39,720
you can switch
881
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,140
um you can you can switch between
882
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:45,359
integrated and G and dedicated gpus just
883
00:35:43,140 --> 00:35:47,160
on the fly without having to restart for
884
00:35:45,359 --> 00:35:51,119
better battery life so that's really
885
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:52,560
nice okay so we have this black plastic
886
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:54,180
shroud I'm not sure if I'm going to need
887
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,619
to take it off I think I will in order
888
00:35:54,180 --> 00:35:57,060
to show you guys what's going on
889
00:35:55,619 --> 00:36:00,500
underneath here
890
00:35:57,060 --> 00:36:00,500
it's kind of glued on though
891
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,900
just kind of sticky adhesive glue though
892
00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:10,160
so it's not
893
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:10,160
nothing too serious
894
00:36:12,119 --> 00:36:17,579
as far as I can tell
895
00:36:14,660 --> 00:36:21,180
okay let's see here so this yeah you
896
00:36:17,579 --> 00:36:23,760
want to separate that there
897
00:36:21,180 --> 00:36:25,740
and you want to keep all these aluminum
898
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,900
um foil looking things attached to the
899
00:36:25,740 --> 00:36:31,079
products that they're attached to I
900
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:33,359
would I would guess okay so
901
00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:35,520
taking a look here let's see what we got
902
00:36:33,359 --> 00:36:37,700
going on we've got one SSD slot right
903
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,700
here
904
00:36:39,660 --> 00:36:46,320
we've got a second SSD slot right here
905
00:36:42,359 --> 00:36:48,140
so it completely opened 2280 SSD slot
906
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:52,560
that looks like would it would support
907
00:36:48,140 --> 00:36:54,240
uh dual sided ssds uh which is great so
908
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,760
if you have another SSD you want to pop
909
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:58,140
into this laptop right away it's easy to
910
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,119
upgrade
911
00:36:58,140 --> 00:37:01,800
um I love that now
912
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:03,480
there I'm not going to worry about
913
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,740
unplugging the battery today we're just
914
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,960
going to pop this open
915
00:37:04,740 --> 00:37:09,660
I have PTSD from forgetting to replace
916
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:12,560
the battery in the last live stream
917
00:37:09,660 --> 00:37:15,839
or replug the battery in
918
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:17,880
this memory
919
00:37:15,839 --> 00:37:20,040
interesting
920
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,599
it is kind of attached right there so I
921
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,960
had to use this
922
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:28,700
plastic guitar pick
923
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,700
to get this to come up
924
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:38,940
this aluminum foil probably helps
925
00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:42,119
dissipate some heat I'm guessing
926
00:37:38,940 --> 00:37:45,740
um and now we've got another shroud
927
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:45,740
over the memory again
928
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:55,040
see if we can get down to seeing what
929
00:37:51,839 --> 00:37:55,040
brand of memory this is
930
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:03,240
looks like we probably want to start on
931
00:38:01,740 --> 00:38:04,980
the other side
932
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:07,859
I primarily want we already know it's
933
00:38:04,980 --> 00:38:10,940
ddr4 3200 I just mainly want to see the
934
00:38:07,859 --> 00:38:10,940
brand if we can see it
935
00:38:11,820 --> 00:38:17,720
uh and the label for the brand is stuck
936
00:38:15,180 --> 00:38:17,720
to this
937
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,180
foreign
938
00:38:21,060 --> 00:38:24,730
[Music]
939
00:38:26,460 --> 00:38:31,099
there we go okay so it is
940
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:37,619
some strong glue that's what it is
941
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:40,220
um okay
942
00:38:37,619 --> 00:38:40,220
Doo
943
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,579
it's a Samsung
944
00:38:48,540 --> 00:38:53,359
and let's see if I can put this back on
945
00:38:50,460 --> 00:38:53,359
the memory itself
946
00:38:58,140 --> 00:39:01,859
I do recommend unplugging the battery
947
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:05,220
from your laptop if you're going to take
948
00:39:01,859 --> 00:39:07,440
the Ram or ssds out
949
00:39:05,220 --> 00:39:09,300
okay so we got the label back on there
950
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,980
let's take a look at what we've got
951
00:39:09,300 --> 00:39:14,220
going on here
952
00:39:10,980 --> 00:39:17,160
uh come on camera Focus all right so we
953
00:39:14,220 --> 00:39:21,000
got a Samsung made in the Philippines
954
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:25,740
eight gig one RX8 which is faster memory
955
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:28,440
which I like that ddr4 3200 all right so
956
00:39:25,740 --> 00:39:31,140
it is a double-sided memory that should
957
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,579
provide a bit above average memory
958
00:39:31,140 --> 00:39:34,680
performance
959
00:39:32,579 --> 00:39:39,660
I'd like to see that I'm just going to
960
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:39,660
go ahead and replace our
961
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:45,900
one of four covers on this Ram
962
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,880
there we go
963
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:51,060
and now we'll pop it back into the slots
964
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:53,339
here so there we go and we'll put our
965
00:39:51,060 --> 00:39:55,079
other cover back on there but that is
966
00:39:53,339 --> 00:39:56,700
that is faster than average Ram that
967
00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:58,380
should give us very good performance in
968
00:39:56,700 --> 00:40:00,900
memory sensitive games
969
00:39:58,380 --> 00:40:03,260
all right
970
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:06,359
excellent
971
00:40:03,260 --> 00:40:08,460
now a quick examination of the thermal
972
00:40:06,359 --> 00:40:10,079
system
973
00:40:08,460 --> 00:40:11,480
let's go ahead and take a look at our
974
00:40:10,079 --> 00:40:14,780
thermals
975
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,780
we've got
976
00:40:16,740 --> 00:40:23,160
we've got uh two large heat pipes I
977
00:40:20,579 --> 00:40:25,140
guess one really large heat pipe and one
978
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,960
smaller heat pipe like a medium heat
979
00:40:25,140 --> 00:40:31,680
pipe going between the two rear exhausts
980
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:34,920
then we've got a third heat pipe that
981
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:37,560
comes down and snakes down into the CPU
982
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:40,200
vrms and then we have the GPU vrms
983
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:43,800
covered of this heat pipe
984
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:46,320
um and then uh we've got a dedicated
985
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,880
heat pipe to this exhaust for the CPU
986
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,880
and a dedicated heat pipe for this
987
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,740
exhaust uh for the GPU I'm not sure
988
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,920
which
989
00:40:52,740 --> 00:41:00,300
one is which I think
990
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:02,040
usually the bigger one is the GPU but
991
00:41:00,300 --> 00:41:03,780
it's kind of hard to tell right off the
992
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:07,040
top here so because they're both about
993
00:41:03,780 --> 00:41:07,040
the same die size
994
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,720
um but if I were to guess this is
995
00:41:08,460 --> 00:41:11,520
probably the CPU this is probably the
996
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:12,960
GPU but they're yeah I don't know it's
997
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,180
hard to tell they're both have about the
998
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,460
same amount of priority cooling because
999
00:41:15,180 --> 00:41:19,980
they both have a dedicated heat pipe as
1000
00:41:17,460 --> 00:41:22,680
well as two shared heat pipes and vrm
1001
00:41:19,980 --> 00:41:23,820
dedicated coverage so it's it's a it's
1002
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,800
basically about the same amount of
1003
00:41:23,820 --> 00:41:27,720
cooling for the GPU and CPU in this
1004
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,099
laptop and that's a pretty good heat
1005
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:31,440
pipe system if you're gonna have a heat
1006
00:41:29,099 --> 00:41:34,740
pipe in your laptop for a cooling setup
1007
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,660
uh though I would say in general I do
1008
00:41:34,740 --> 00:41:38,820
prefer
1009
00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:40,800
um Vapor chamber coolers if you can get
1010
00:41:38,820 --> 00:41:43,079
them right but not all laptops are going
1011
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:46,920
to have that as an option
1012
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:48,900
um honestly it's it's this is a I think
1013
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,060
this is a very good thermal cooling
1014
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:52,380
setup
1015
00:41:51,060 --> 00:41:55,200
um we'll have to see how it actually
1016
00:41:52,380 --> 00:41:59,160
performs in in games though I'm thinking
1017
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:02,940
because of the um air intakes this is
1018
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,740
likely going to run maybe on the warmer
1019
00:42:02,940 --> 00:42:07,020
side but I don't think the GPU will
1020
00:42:04,740 --> 00:42:09,480
thermally throttle most likely
1021
00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:11,520
um if anything I'm guessing the CPU will
1022
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,440
likely thermally throttle especially in
1023
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,060
really tough to run games like Dead
1024
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,780
Space
1025
00:42:15,060 --> 00:42:17,760
um
1026
00:42:15,780 --> 00:42:19,500
so we're gonna go and get this thing
1027
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,260
popped back in
1028
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:24,180
LSP says the left is the GPU okay
1029
00:42:22,260 --> 00:42:26,460
interesting
1030
00:42:24,180 --> 00:42:30,440
uh is this the 2022 chassis no this is
1031
00:42:26,460 --> 00:42:30,440
the 2023 version done done
1032
00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:32,720
um
1033
00:42:35,579 --> 00:42:39,839
Duke says warranty voided yeah
1034
00:42:38,460 --> 00:42:42,480
uh
1035
00:42:39,839 --> 00:42:44,099
I taking apart your laptop does not void
1036
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,000
your warranty very important to know
1037
00:42:44,099 --> 00:42:46,680
that
1038
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,480
um only the only thing that will avoid
1039
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,520
your warranty is if you actually damage
1040
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,240
the system
1041
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,300
um
1042
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:56,280
yourself you know you cause damage and
1043
00:42:54,300 --> 00:42:58,200
that and that only voids the warranty on
1044
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,300
the piece that you damaged it doesn't
1045
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,000
void the warranty on the rest of the
1046
00:43:00,300 --> 00:43:06,780
laptop so if you uh damage the display
1047
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,099
but then the CPU or GPU fail on you or
1048
00:43:06,780 --> 00:43:09,960
something
1049
00:43:08,099 --> 00:43:13,380
it's fine you can still get your
1050
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:15,839
coverage on the CPU and GPU so or if you
1051
00:43:13,380 --> 00:43:18,540
replace the RAM and then some other
1052
00:43:15,839 --> 00:43:21,300
piece like this GPU or CPU fail you can
1053
00:43:18,540 --> 00:43:23,280
still get your warranty coverage
1054
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:25,560
um so don't let a company screw you out
1055
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,980
of your warranty coverage in that
1056
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,980
scenario
1057
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:34,920
okay so let's go ahead and get the
1058
00:43:32,220 --> 00:43:38,160
bottom put back together overall
1059
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:40,740
I'm pretty impressed with the um
1060
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,000
the internals you got a decent amount of
1061
00:43:40,740 --> 00:43:45,359
upgrade ability
1062
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:47,819
you got good parts uh included you have
1063
00:43:45,359 --> 00:43:50,960
a free SSD slot open
1064
00:43:47,819 --> 00:43:53,040
that makes it nice for um
1065
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,500
it'll make it nice if you want to add
1066
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:58,440
another SSD for more storage removing
1067
00:43:55,500 --> 00:44:00,540
the bottom isn't too bad but uh because
1068
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:03,780
you have the pop-up screw
1069
00:44:00,540 --> 00:44:05,040
it is a tight chassis to pop apart
1070
00:44:03,780 --> 00:44:08,400
but
1071
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:12,079
aside from that uh I think the uh the
1072
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:17,119
internal chassis is uh well designed
1073
00:44:12,079 --> 00:44:17,119
with um yeah with enough sufficient
1074
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:22,319
everything to make almost everyone happy
1075
00:44:20,579 --> 00:44:24,000
like you know what I mean we may have
1076
00:44:22,319 --> 00:44:25,920
last Gen processor but you got the
1077
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:30,599
next-gen CPU here
1078
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:33,900
so that's all right okay so uh notice
1079
00:44:30,599 --> 00:44:36,480
that I did put in the pop-up screw first
1080
00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:40,740
I do recommend that you screw the pop-up
1081
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:42,300
screw in for the first screw because and
1082
00:44:40,740 --> 00:44:44,099
you when you're on when you're undoing
1083
00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:46,260
it I usually recommend to have your
1084
00:44:44,099 --> 00:44:49,560
pop-up screw be
1085
00:44:46,260 --> 00:44:51,839
um the be the last one you unscrew if
1086
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,520
possible because it pulls the chassis up
1087
00:44:51,839 --> 00:44:55,140
and if there are other screws are still
1088
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:58,760
in there you're kind of fighting the
1089
00:44:55,140 --> 00:44:58,760
pop-up screw a little bit so
1090
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:04,099
Ram sticker warranty voided oh okay
1091
00:45:06,060 --> 00:45:11,420
Okay so
1092
00:45:07,859 --> 00:45:11,420
boom there it is
1093
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:15,119
there is the laptop itself
1094
00:45:14,460 --> 00:45:17,400
um
1095
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:19,619
this this this does have a little bit of
1096
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,599
Bend to it but it does feel premium
1097
00:45:19,619 --> 00:45:24,000
because it is metal
1098
00:45:21,599 --> 00:45:26,520
let's go ahead and do our Flex test
1099
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,980
going around the laptop chassis
1100
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:31,800
this is pretty dang firm I'm pressing
1101
00:45:28,980 --> 00:45:34,260
down really hard not much Bend just a
1102
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,540
little bit of bending in the middle here
1103
00:45:34,260 --> 00:45:38,420
is usually the weakest and this is
1104
00:45:36,540 --> 00:45:41,099
honestly stronger than most laptops
1105
00:45:38,420 --> 00:45:43,500
going along the front here a little bit
1106
00:45:41,099 --> 00:45:45,660
of a little bit more Flex right here in
1107
00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:48,240
the front of the touch pad Corner over
1108
00:45:45,660 --> 00:45:52,339
here almost no flex at all where you put
1109
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:52,339
your wrist rest going up
1110
00:45:52,619 --> 00:45:58,020
very minimal flex No Flex at all in the
1111
00:45:56,099 --> 00:46:01,800
top up here top middle there is some
1112
00:45:58,020 --> 00:46:04,079
Flex top right no flex again
1113
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,540
almost no flex at all going along the
1114
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:09,599
sides there I do like that and if I
1115
00:46:06,540 --> 00:46:13,140
briefly touch every single keyboard key
1116
00:46:09,599 --> 00:46:16,260
you can feel for any keys that are out
1117
00:46:13,140 --> 00:46:17,819
of place or not functioning correctly I
1118
00:46:16,260 --> 00:46:19,560
would recommend doing this anytime you
1119
00:46:17,819 --> 00:46:23,160
buy a new laptop make sure they're all
1120
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:25,920
pressing successfully and popping back
1121
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:28,140
up there's nothing loose all right I
1122
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,800
think we're good to go on that front
1123
00:46:28,140 --> 00:46:31,859
um
1124
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:34,280
and now we're ready to turn the sucker
1125
00:46:31,859 --> 00:46:34,280
back on
1126
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:50,540
let's go ahead and see if we have any
1127
00:46:46,380 --> 00:46:50,540
startup noise or anything like that
1128
00:46:53,099 --> 00:46:57,180
okay so it kind of did a little
1129
00:46:55,020 --> 00:47:02,099
animation by the whole keyboard going
1130
00:46:57,180 --> 00:47:05,520
white and notice right away we do have a
1131
00:47:02,099 --> 00:47:07,380
multi single zone keyboard so it's not
1132
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,480
just a yellow keyboard I had thought
1133
00:47:07,380 --> 00:47:11,339
that it was just a yellow keyboard but
1134
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,500
it is a multi-zone multi-colored
1135
00:47:11,339 --> 00:47:16,920
keyboard well not multi-zone single zone
1136
00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:18,420
multi-color so um but if it was me I
1137
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,800
would just keep it to White all the time
1138
00:47:18,420 --> 00:47:22,140
or maybe blue or something I don't know
1139
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:25,260
I find the
1140
00:47:22,140 --> 00:47:25,980
I find this color change to be a little
1141
00:47:25,260 --> 00:47:28,560
um
1142
00:47:25,980 --> 00:47:29,880
not to my taste I guess but that's to
1143
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,300
each their own you know like maybe you
1144
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:34,200
like that and that's totally fine
1145
00:47:33,300 --> 00:47:35,760
um
1146
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,140
you know if you're a fan of that that's
1147
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:40,280
no big deal
1148
00:47:37,140 --> 00:47:40,280
all right so
1149
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:52,099
okay
1150
00:47:49,619 --> 00:47:52,099
well
1151
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,780
we'll find out if we can even do our
1152
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,760
color
1153
00:47:57,780 --> 00:48:02,940
our screen test because it does not
1154
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:05,640
appear that the laptop display
1155
00:48:02,940 --> 00:48:07,920
is changing brightnesses I'm trying to
1156
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,540
change the brightness right here
1157
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,700
because right now I know it's I know
1158
00:48:09,540 --> 00:48:14,099
it's not maximum brightness
1159
00:48:11,700 --> 00:48:15,240
because while I was making the thumbnail
1160
00:48:14,099 --> 00:48:16,740
for this video I turned the brightness
1161
00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:18,540
down a little bit so it had better
1162
00:48:16,740 --> 00:48:20,040
exposure
1163
00:48:18,540 --> 00:48:21,599
and you can see I'm moving it up and
1164
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,560
down and the laptop brightness is not
1165
00:48:21,599 --> 00:48:24,780
changing
1166
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:27,240
so
1167
00:48:24,780 --> 00:48:28,680
Asus what is going on with your uh
1168
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:31,619
brightness
1169
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,960
we had the same problem on the strix G
1170
00:48:31,619 --> 00:48:35,819
16
1171
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,260
and now we've got it on the tough I
1172
00:48:35,819 --> 00:48:38,760
don't know why it was working earlier
1173
00:48:37,260 --> 00:48:42,140
today because I did change the
1174
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,140
brightness earlier today no problem
1175
00:48:42,900 --> 00:48:48,599
um okay
1176
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:51,720
oh you know what I think maybe it's
1177
00:48:48,599 --> 00:48:54,720
because of GPU ultimate mode
1178
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:54,720
Maybe
1179
00:48:55,619 --> 00:49:00,260
uh
1180
00:48:57,599 --> 00:49:00,260
uh oh
1181
00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:07,560
interesting so it wants me to update the
1182
00:49:05,220 --> 00:49:09,420
BIOS
1183
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,760
um I had done all of the Windows updates
1184
00:49:09,420 --> 00:49:14,780
on this laptop but we can do a quick
1185
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,780
bios update
1186
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:25,700
let's see if this bricks the machine
1187
00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:25,700
we had some bad luck with MSI laptops
1188
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:34,140
oh yeah we should turn off BitLocker
1189
00:49:31,859 --> 00:49:36,180
but if we turn off BitLocker that's
1190
00:49:34,140 --> 00:49:39,440
going to take a while
1191
00:49:36,180 --> 00:49:39,440
okay we're just gonna do
1192
00:49:54,060 --> 00:49:57,560
we'll turn off BitLocker for now
1193
00:49:57,720 --> 00:50:01,380
um and we can do some other stuff on the
1194
00:49:59,220 --> 00:50:02,760
device while it's disabling it all right
1195
00:50:01,380 --> 00:50:06,020
so
1196
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,020
um cool
1197
00:50:07,859 --> 00:50:11,400
all right
1198
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:13,800
um so right now it's saying BIOS version
1199
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:16,280
315 or higher is required for the V bios
1200
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,280
update
1201
00:50:16,859 --> 00:50:21,000
you can use Windows update software
1202
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:24,119
update or my Asus
1203
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:26,760
um to download the the BIOS update
1204
00:50:24,119 --> 00:50:28,500
um so and the reason why we're doing
1205
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:31,020
BitLocker decryption is that when you
1206
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:32,880
update the BIOS sometimes windows won't
1207
00:50:31,020 --> 00:50:35,940
recognize that it's the same laptop
1208
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:38,940
anymore and it'll require you to
1209
00:50:35,940 --> 00:50:41,280
basically put in your windows username
1210
00:50:38,940 --> 00:50:43,560
and password into a website and then you
1211
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:45,060
get an encryption key code you have to
1212
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,520
type into here and I don't want to have
1213
00:50:45,060 --> 00:50:49,559
to deal with that on live stream
1214
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,940
um if possible I've had to deal with it
1215
00:50:49,559 --> 00:50:52,859
before several times when doing bios
1216
00:50:50,940 --> 00:50:53,940
updates it's not fun
1217
00:50:52,859 --> 00:50:58,559
um
1218
00:50:53,940 --> 00:51:01,220
okay so very nice that's gonna have to
1219
00:50:58,559 --> 00:51:01,220
take place
1220
00:51:01,260 --> 00:51:07,619
um and uh yeah so this is still not
1221
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:11,160
nothing's working on the brightness
1222
00:51:07,619 --> 00:51:13,800
display we can do our speaker test
1223
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:16,859
we can probably do our fan noise test
1224
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:18,540
well bitlockers going we can't really do
1225
00:51:16,859 --> 00:51:20,160
the display test well we can do the
1226
00:51:18,540 --> 00:51:22,079
color gamut test I guess but it's not
1227
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,640
going to be the full brightness of the
1228
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:26,099
display
1229
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:28,380
um but maybe the V bios update is going
1230
00:51:26,099 --> 00:51:30,839
to fix that
1231
00:51:28,380 --> 00:51:32,940
uh we'll find out either way we should
1232
00:51:30,839 --> 00:51:37,440
be able to do our speaker tests no
1233
00:51:32,940 --> 00:51:37,440
problem well we wait so
1234
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:42,300
dude
1235
00:51:39,900 --> 00:51:46,559
Dolby access all right so we're gonna
1236
00:51:42,300 --> 00:51:48,960
load up our this is the uh software you
1237
00:51:46,559 --> 00:51:51,720
can use to uh
1238
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:55,200
to change your audio
1239
00:51:51,720 --> 00:51:58,380
settings it's called Dolby access
1240
00:51:55,200 --> 00:52:01,380
and generally I use dynamic
1241
00:51:58,380 --> 00:52:03,000
most Asus laptops I use Dynamic it works
1242
00:52:01,380 --> 00:52:06,059
pretty well usually
1243
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,160
all right so we're ready to do our
1244
00:52:06,059 --> 00:52:11,000
speaker test and we can do our webcam
1245
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,000
test as well
1246
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,460
so music
1247
00:52:13,619 --> 00:52:15,780
um
1248
00:52:14,460 --> 00:52:18,540
you know we haven't really talked about
1249
00:52:15,780 --> 00:52:19,920
the keyboard and touchpad yet either but
1250
00:52:18,540 --> 00:52:22,020
we're already starting the speaker test
1251
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,300
let's finish that out
1252
00:52:22,020 --> 00:52:25,440
um
1253
00:52:23,300 --> 00:52:29,480
so we got to make sure we do everything
1254
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,480
on the to-do list for today
1255
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:41,579
all right so there we are we've got the
1256
00:52:38,339 --> 00:52:44,880
uh front of the laptop touching the
1257
00:52:41,579 --> 00:52:46,440
front foot of these the decibel meter so
1258
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:48,240
it's in the same position every time we
1259
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,859
do this test
1260
00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:51,359
uh let's go ahead I'm just going to go
1261
00:52:49,859 --> 00:52:53,960
ahead and close the door for this
1262
00:52:51,359 --> 00:52:53,960
speaker test
1263
00:52:55,319 --> 00:53:01,099
and we'll get our base decibel reading
1264
00:52:58,140 --> 00:53:01,099
here right now
1265
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:12,119
43.2 43.3 for our lows
1266
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,920
um let's go ahead and go into Peter
1267
00:53:12,119 --> 00:53:16,440
Spacey Roar also I'm going to make sure
1268
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:20,940
the volume is turned up all the way
1269
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:24,599
and uh let me try for you guys as well a
1270
00:53:20,940 --> 00:53:27,660
few different music profiles
1271
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:29,839
from Dolby access with Peter Spacey Roar
1272
00:53:27,660 --> 00:53:29,839
playing
1273
00:53:33,590 --> 00:53:40,179
[Music]
1274
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:47,459

[Music]
1276
00:53:47,460 --> 00:53:50,240
all right
1277
00:53:51,010 --> 00:53:57,020
[Music]
1278
00:53:55,140 --> 00:53:57,850

[Applause]
1285
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:28,140
okay so so Peter Spacey Roar is a very
1286
00:54:26,339 --> 00:54:31,440
Bassy heavy
1287
00:54:28,140 --> 00:54:34,800
um song and so we're looking for a clear
1288
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:37,800
base and that the hopefully the the mids
1289
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:40,680
and highs don't get all muddled from the
1290
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:43,260
uh the extreme bass Let's uh let's go
1291
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:45,119
ahead and do our first song I believe
1292
00:54:43,260 --> 00:54:47,339
we're gonna just do every everything in
1293
00:54:45,119 --> 00:54:49,020
Dynamic mode that's probably the best
1294
00:54:47,339 --> 00:54:52,859
option
1295
00:54:49,020 --> 00:54:55,460
um let's go ahead and get this started
1296
00:54:52,859 --> 00:55:00,680
I'm gonna plug in
1297
00:54:55,460 --> 00:55:00,680
my mouse here well we have a chance
1298
00:55:02,599 --> 00:55:08,220
there we go
1299
00:55:05,700 --> 00:55:12,859
okay
1300
00:55:08,220 --> 00:55:12,859
here we go Peter Spacey Roar
1301
00:55:19,170 --> 00:55:44,460
[Music]
1302
00:55:43,370 --> 00:55:46,640
[Applause]
1303
00:55:44,460 --> 00:55:48,359
[Music]
1304
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,280
laughs
1305
00:55:48,359 --> 00:55:54,960
okay
1306
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:57,720
um yeah the base is not amazing it's not
1307
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:59,760
that Punchy I think but the actual mids
1308
00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:00,720
and highs were not too bad the overall
1309
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,480
volume
1310
00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:04,859
not that loud
1311
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,230
um let's see how loud did it get let's
1312
00:56:04,859 --> 00:56:15,140
see
1313
00:56:05,230 --> 00:56:18,059
[Music]
1314
00:56:15,140 --> 00:56:19,380
mainly around like 80 to 83 decibels and
1315
00:56:18,059 --> 00:56:21,780
some of the louder laptops are getting
1316
00:56:19,380 --> 00:56:24,119
like you know 85 87 decibels so it
1317
00:56:21,780 --> 00:56:25,619
depends but um yeah so not quite as loud
1318
00:56:24,119 --> 00:56:27,240
as some other laptops and I would say
1319
00:56:25,619 --> 00:56:33,119
it's not as Punchy on the base end let's
1320
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:33,119
go to faded faded aeon half-life foreign
1321
00:56:37,590 --> 00:56:48,739
[Music]
1322
00:56:48,820 --> 00:56:57,659
[Applause]
1323
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:57,659
[Music]
1324
00:57:02,599 --> 00:57:06,740
I would say the speakers handle that
1325
00:57:04,980 --> 00:57:09,540
song much better
1326
00:57:06,740 --> 00:57:11,760
it's less Bassy I think the bassiness of
1327
00:57:09,540 --> 00:57:13,740
the first song really just like
1328
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:16,020
washes out the mids and highs a lot more
1329
00:57:13,740 --> 00:57:17,760
so that song was much better you get a
1330
00:57:16,020 --> 00:57:19,200
little bit of thump from the bass bass
1331
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:22,200
is still not a great but the mids and
1332
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:23,700
highs come through pretty clearly not a
1333
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:27,380
super premium sound system uh let's go
1334
00:57:23,700 --> 00:57:27,380
to Deuce Williams love you like
1335
00:57:29,190 --> 00:57:47,400
[Music]
1336
00:57:45,900 --> 00:57:49,859
so
1337
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:52,380
um yeah these speakers are very similar
1338
00:57:49,859 --> 00:57:55,440
in the same ballpark vein at least as
1339
00:57:52,380 --> 00:57:57,960
the strix g16
1340
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:59,880
but uh I would say a little a little bit
1341
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:02,700
worse like a little bit more budgety
1342
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:04,859
than than those I don't think it's the
1343
00:58:02,700 --> 00:58:06,300
same one because it feels like these
1344
00:58:04,859 --> 00:58:08,099
ones are not quite as good on the base
1345
00:58:06,300 --> 00:58:10,680
they're a little bit more budgety but
1346
00:58:08,099 --> 00:58:12,119
the mids and Highs are pretty similar
1347
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,920
um the HP element was better I would
1348
00:58:12,119 --> 00:58:15,900
agree I think the omen 16 had a little
1349
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,760
better speakers
1350
00:58:15,900 --> 00:58:21,420
um yeah how is the performance compared
1351
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:22,680
to the 99 99 natural 5 with 3070 TI uh
1352
00:58:21,420 --> 00:58:25,740
we'll have to find out
1353
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:27,660
the 370 TI is likely going to be
1354
00:58:25,740 --> 00:58:30,180
in the same ballpark of raw performance
1355
00:58:27,660 --> 00:58:32,400
but the 4070 in this laptop is going to
1356
00:58:30,180 --> 00:58:34,559
have frame generation support that's
1357
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,760
probably the biggest difference and then
1358
00:58:34,559 --> 00:58:38,280
um obviously different displays
1359
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,599
different processors as well so
1360
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:42,540
okay
1361
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:46,020
uh but yeah the speakers on this decent
1362
00:58:42,540 --> 00:58:48,920
I would give them like um
1363
00:58:46,020 --> 00:58:53,099
7.8
1364
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:53,940
7.7 somewhere in that ballpark I think
1365
00:58:53,099 --> 00:58:57,000
um
1366
00:58:53,940 --> 00:58:59,880
maybe maybe a hair lower 7.6 I don't
1367
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,500
know it's right around that range uh
1368
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:04,079
it's certainly not a super high-end
1369
00:59:01,500 --> 00:59:05,880
premium sound system they're basically
1370
00:59:04,079 --> 00:59:08,880
right around the average maybe just
1371
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:14,240
slightly above average compared to uh
1372
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:14,240
even more cheaper systems Okay so
1373
00:59:14,700 --> 00:59:22,020
let's move on
1374
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:25,440
to Let's evaluate the keyboard and
1375
00:59:22,020 --> 00:59:27,960
trackpad in detail all right so that'll
1376
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,520
be our next step
1377
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,440
and if you're just hopping on the live
1378
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,819
stream we're going to go through all of
1379
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,260
these
1380
00:59:32,819 --> 00:59:35,280
so if you want to pause it and look at
1381
00:59:34,260 --> 00:59:37,500
those
1382
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:39,660
we've already done
1383
00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:42,299
all of this
1384
00:59:39,660 --> 00:59:43,799
uh we're on this point here but we did
1385
00:59:42,299 --> 00:59:45,420
Skip down to the speaker test we did
1386
00:59:43,799 --> 00:59:48,180
that but we're on uh we'll check webcam
1387
00:59:45,420 --> 00:59:49,619
quality kit test keyboard mouse and then
1388
00:59:48,180 --> 00:59:51,599
we're gonna test the display if we can
1389
00:59:49,619 --> 00:59:53,700
the brightness is not working right now
1390
00:59:51,599 --> 00:59:55,760
for some reason okay so
1391
00:59:53,700 --> 00:59:55,760
um
1392
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:02,099
this laptop has
1393
00:59:59,099 --> 01:00:04,020
a way above average touchpad for this
1394
01:00:02,099 --> 01:00:04,799
price point
1395
01:00:04,020 --> 01:00:07,980
um
1396
01:00:04,799 --> 01:00:09,839
I would say this touchpad is it's a
1397
01:00:07,980 --> 01:00:13,559
glass touch pad first of all okay that's
1398
01:00:09,839 --> 01:00:15,599
huge this thing is so smooth it Glides
1399
01:00:13,559 --> 01:00:17,819
really well it's large enough for
1400
01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:19,440
multi-finger gestures if you want to do
1401
01:00:17,819 --> 01:00:22,859
three fingers or four finger gestures
1402
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:25,319
it's no problem it's easy to do them
1403
01:00:22,859 --> 01:00:27,780
um and it's just really smooth The Click
1404
01:00:25,319 --> 01:00:29,460
is a little bit mushy and the right
1405
01:00:27,780 --> 01:00:32,160
side's a little bit easier to press down
1406
01:00:29,460 --> 01:00:33,440
than the left side but at least then the
1407
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:37,799
middle
1408
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:39,900
overall really like the touchpad much uh
1409
01:00:37,799 --> 01:00:41,280
much better touchpad than the other
1410
01:00:39,900 --> 01:00:43,799
budgeting systems I've been reviewing
1411
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:46,680
lately that use plastic touch pads so
1412
01:00:43,799 --> 01:00:48,660
love that it's a glass touch pad
1413
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,359
um okay moving on to the keyboard let's
1414
01:00:48,660 --> 01:00:52,619
talk keyboard
1415
01:00:50,359 --> 01:00:55,079
all right
1416
01:00:52,619 --> 01:00:58,920
so the keyboard here
1417
01:00:55,079 --> 01:01:01,140
has a lot of extra functionality baked
1418
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,920
into it so
1419
01:01:01,140 --> 01:01:05,520
um
1420
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:09,000
there's if you press FN plus aura you
1421
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:13,020
can change the keyboard mode
1422
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:16,799
so color cycle is this this default
1423
01:01:13,020 --> 01:01:19,079
static is just red but you can change
1424
01:01:16,799 --> 01:01:21,660
the static color to something else it
1425
01:01:19,079 --> 01:01:23,819
doesn't have to be red but just out of
1426
01:01:21,660 --> 01:01:25,460
the box that's what it is we'll do color
1427
01:01:23,819 --> 01:01:28,740
cycle for right now
1428
01:01:25,460 --> 01:01:30,420
and then let's go ahead and look at all
1429
01:01:28,740 --> 01:01:32,700
of the different keys on the keyboard
1430
01:01:30,420 --> 01:01:36,180
itself
1431
01:01:32,700 --> 01:01:37,619
so the control and FN key the FN key of
1432
01:01:36,180 --> 01:01:40,559
course lets you use the secondary
1433
01:01:37,619 --> 01:01:43,500
functions on the F1 through 12 which are
1434
01:01:40,559 --> 01:01:45,299
mute keyboard brightness down and up
1435
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:46,500
Aura
1436
01:01:45,299 --> 01:01:48,180
um I guess I should probably zoom in a
1437
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:49,859
little bit more over here so you can see
1438
01:01:48,180 --> 01:01:51,299
these a little better
1439
01:01:49,859 --> 01:01:54,359
um so keyboard brightness up and down
1440
01:01:51,299 --> 01:01:57,299
mute over here on the left Aura lets you
1441
01:01:54,359 --> 01:01:59,400
change of course the the the colors of
1442
01:01:57,299 --> 01:02:01,920
the keyboard this is your fan profile
1443
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,059
button you press FN plus F5 that'll
1444
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:05,520
change your fan profile between
1445
01:02:03,059 --> 01:02:08,040
performance silent turbo
1446
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:11,760
um this is the
1447
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:13,559
Snipping Tool button brightness up and
1448
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,420
down buttons which are not working right
1449
01:02:13,559 --> 01:02:18,960
now
1450
01:02:15,420 --> 01:02:22,380
um and then over here on the right half
1451
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:24,180
we have our display button on the F9
1452
01:02:22,380 --> 01:02:26,460
turn off
1453
01:02:24,180 --> 01:02:28,859
touch pad button put the Windows laptop
1454
01:02:26,460 --> 01:02:31,020
to sleep airplane mode to disable Wi-Fi
1455
01:02:28,859 --> 01:02:36,359
and Bluetooth then we have a delete key
1456
01:02:31,020 --> 01:02:37,920
pause break system uh print screen home
1457
01:02:36,359 --> 01:02:41,160
and end button
1458
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:43,200
and then we have our number pad I don't
1459
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:49,140
like that the home and end button are
1460
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:51,480
the same uh key press but thankfully we
1461
01:02:49,140 --> 01:02:54,240
do have home and end here on the arrow
1462
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:55,740
keys which makes it easy for us to um
1463
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,559
jump around when we're doing with a Word
1464
01:02:55,740 --> 01:03:00,960
document or whatever page up page down
1465
01:02:57,559 --> 01:03:03,660
and then of course we have FN plus the
1466
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:06,480
enter key to pull up the calculator and
1467
01:03:03,660 --> 01:03:08,640
uh a full like a fairly full size fully
1468
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,920
featured number pad which I I like the
1469
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:13,619
number pad on this I've used it several
1470
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:15,059
times when setting up the laptop
1471
01:03:13,619 --> 01:03:17,880
um you know and it makes it really easy
1472
01:03:15,059 --> 01:03:20,579
to log into your laptop with a pin so if
1473
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:22,559
you use like a four or six digit PIN you
1474
01:03:20,579 --> 01:03:24,059
just go and you're in every time you
1475
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:26,880
like sit down on a laptop turn it on or
1476
01:03:24,059 --> 01:03:29,520
whatever and it's really easy
1477
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:33,000
um and then the extra function keys that
1478
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:36,299
we have here along the top volume up and
1479
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:38,819
down mic mute and Armory crate button
1480
01:03:36,299 --> 01:03:40,500
you press this button and it's going you
1481
01:03:38,819 --> 01:03:41,880
press this button and it's going to
1482
01:03:40,500 --> 01:03:44,240
launch the Armory crate application
1483
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:49,260
which you use to control the laptop
1484
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:51,900
overall the wasd keys are extra backlit
1485
01:03:49,260 --> 01:03:55,319
with the translucent niss I think that
1486
01:03:51,900 --> 01:03:58,220
looks pretty good in this implementation
1487
01:03:55,319 --> 01:04:01,380
um and the keyboard itself
1488
01:03:58,220 --> 01:04:04,200
feels smooth it's got a nice keyboard
1489
01:04:01,380 --> 01:04:06,299
action the keys are softer it's not a
1490
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,500
very tactile like mechanical feel to
1491
01:04:06,299 --> 01:04:08,760
them
1492
01:04:07,500 --> 01:04:11,819
um but I think the keyboard has
1493
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:13,799
excellent feel overall and I like it a
1494
01:04:11,819 --> 01:04:16,140
lot the caps lock also has a backup
1495
01:04:13,799 --> 01:04:18,180
light back uh backlit light here so you
1496
01:04:16,140 --> 01:04:21,000
can tell when it's enabled
1497
01:04:18,180 --> 01:04:22,260
um and the keyboard backlight itself
1498
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,599
is
1499
01:04:22,260 --> 01:04:27,119
pretty good
1500
01:04:24,599 --> 01:04:30,119
if I turn these off
1501
01:04:27,119 --> 01:04:32,160
and we zoom in
1502
01:04:30,119 --> 01:04:33,720
like the keyboard backlight for some
1503
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:37,380
reason
1504
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:40,799
is higher quality across the whole key
1505
01:04:37,380 --> 01:04:43,020
than the strix g16 series which suffers
1506
01:04:40,799 --> 01:04:45,839
from like the different parts of the key
1507
01:04:43,020 --> 01:04:48,000
really not being lit up very well and
1508
01:04:45,839 --> 01:04:50,520
some of that is still evident like the
1509
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:52,020
F3 like the three the number three the
1510
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,720
bottom half of the number three there is
1511
01:04:52,020 --> 01:04:56,520
not lit up very well the F4 the the
1512
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,440
number four there bottom half of that is
1513
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,599
not lit up very well
1514
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,980
um
1515
01:04:59,599 --> 01:05:04,079
so it's it's not quite as bad as the
1516
01:05:01,980 --> 01:05:06,000
strix g16 in terms of all those little
1517
01:05:04,079 --> 01:05:07,140
details being lit up but it's pretty
1518
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:10,440
close
1519
01:05:07,140 --> 01:05:13,020
it's a minor thing a minor con to this
1520
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,740
laptop to consider
1521
01:05:13,020 --> 01:05:16,980
um
1522
01:05:13,740 --> 01:05:19,319
I I did like the omen 16 backlight in
1523
01:05:16,980 --> 01:05:21,960
terms of quality a little bit more but
1524
01:05:19,319 --> 01:05:24,240
the keyboard layout on this one is far
1525
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,619
superior
1526
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:27,240
to The Omen because this has a number
1527
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:29,579
pad and the extra functionality keys
1528
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:32,099
that this has going for it are awesome
1529
01:05:29,579 --> 01:05:33,540
and they work really well okay so uh and
1530
01:05:32,099 --> 01:05:34,799
you can see when I turn the lights on
1531
01:05:33,540 --> 01:05:36,000
here
1532
01:05:34,799 --> 01:05:38,940
um
1533
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:41,339
it's still very easy
1534
01:05:38,940 --> 01:05:43,380
to uh see the keyboard backlight even
1535
01:05:41,339 --> 01:05:45,000
with all the lights enabled so the the
1536
01:05:43,380 --> 01:05:49,160
brightness on the keyboard backlight is
1537
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:49,160
very good better than average okay
1538
01:05:49,380 --> 01:05:53,900
cool beans there's the keyboard and
1539
01:05:51,420 --> 01:05:53,900
touch pad
1540
01:05:54,299 --> 01:05:58,400
um let's check the camera quality
1541
01:06:04,740 --> 01:06:08,819
um Duke says I always hit F12 when I
1542
01:06:06,839 --> 01:06:11,520
want to hit delete oh interesting yeah
1543
01:06:08,819 --> 01:06:13,260
the uh the delete key is spaced one
1544
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,880
extra over from the backspace so I have
1545
01:06:13,260 --> 01:06:17,579
to get used to that if you're on using
1546
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,359
uh if you're using this laptop
1547
01:06:17,579 --> 01:06:20,280
um
1548
01:06:18,359 --> 01:06:21,359
I'll zoom in show you what he's talking
1549
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:24,539
about
1550
01:06:21,359 --> 01:06:26,640
uh like right here the F12 is moved over
1551
01:06:24,539 --> 01:06:29,339
like basically usually the delete key is
1552
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:31,140
directly above the backspace key so you
1553
01:06:29,339 --> 01:06:32,640
might end up basically pressing F12
1554
01:06:31,140 --> 01:06:34,680
instead of delete a lot until you get
1555
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,700
used to that
1556
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,740
um
1557
01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:41,400
which gaming laptop has similar sound
1558
01:06:37,740 --> 01:06:43,819
quality to the Razer Blade series uh I
1559
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,819
would say
1560
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:50,180
the next closest audio quality wise
1561
01:06:51,839 --> 01:06:59,640
probably like the MSI series like the
1562
01:06:55,339 --> 01:07:02,039
ge78 and gt77 are pretty close to the
1563
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:04,799
Razer a little bit behind
1564
01:07:02,039 --> 01:07:07,020
um the scar 16 and 18 both have pretty
1565
01:07:04,799 --> 01:07:09,660
good speakers the zephyrus lineup have
1566
01:07:07,020 --> 01:07:12,180
pretty decent speakers uh like those
1567
01:07:09,660 --> 01:07:15,240
those laptops usually have either four
1568
01:07:12,180 --> 01:07:17,760
or six laptop speakers systems with some
1569
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:19,380
dedicated subwoofers but the Razer
1570
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:21,299
speakers are just
1571
01:07:19,380 --> 01:07:23,880
better quality still like they're better
1572
01:07:21,299 --> 01:07:25,140
Clarity and a little better bass
1573
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:27,799
um
1574
01:07:25,140 --> 01:07:27,799
okay
1575
01:07:28,380 --> 01:07:32,339
yeah all right
1576
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,420
if someone says that the num lock key
1577
01:07:32,339 --> 01:07:35,400
should have had an indicator light
1578
01:07:33,420 --> 01:07:37,200
whether it's on or not that's true
1579
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:41,099
Jeff Enid says I would like to know
1580
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:44,099
which is better CPU R9 7940hs or the i7
1581
01:07:41,099 --> 01:07:44,099
13700h
1582
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:48,839
um they're going to be in the same
1583
01:07:45,299 --> 01:07:50,220
ballpark of performance
1584
01:07:48,839 --> 01:07:52,740
um
1585
01:07:50,220 --> 01:07:54,539
depending on the task it's going to vary
1586
01:07:52,740 --> 01:07:55,920
quite a bit
1587
01:07:54,539 --> 01:07:57,299
um if I was picking between those two
1588
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,640
CPUs
1589
01:07:57,299 --> 01:08:01,740
I would probably go Rising if it was
1590
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:04,520
everything else was the same because of
1591
01:08:01,740 --> 01:08:04,520
the better battery life
1592
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,619
um
1593
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,420
called says I found the noise levels of
1594
01:08:07,619 --> 01:08:11,579
this laptop exceptional for my Pro Audio
1595
01:08:09,420 --> 01:08:15,799
work the overall noise quality even in
1596
01:08:11,579 --> 01:08:15,799
Turbo is good okay interesting
1597
01:08:16,380 --> 01:08:21,779
all right so
1598
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:23,279
let's look at the webcam all right so
1599
01:08:21,779 --> 01:08:25,520
let's see what the webcam quality is
1600
01:08:23,279 --> 01:08:25,520
like
1601
01:08:39,540 --> 01:08:44,880
yeah not not
1602
01:08:42,839 --> 01:08:45,660
amazing
1603
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,679
um
1604
01:08:45,660 --> 01:08:48,679
I would say
1605
01:08:50,100 --> 01:08:54,299
one of the lower quality webcams like my
1606
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:57,480
hair on my beard for example is very
1607
01:08:54,299 --> 01:08:58,560
fuzzy even when I'm looking at it here
1608
01:08:57,480 --> 01:09:01,880
um
1609
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:05,819
it appears to be a lower resolution
1610
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:07,880
uh and it's fairly noisy
1611
01:09:05,819 --> 01:09:07,880
um
1612
01:09:08,580 --> 01:09:14,000
okay let's see what the the image
1613
01:09:10,679 --> 01:09:14,000
quality looks like in post
1614
01:09:18,839 --> 01:09:25,020
yeah you can see it's
1615
01:09:21,359 --> 01:09:27,359
not very high detail on the face there
1616
01:09:25,020 --> 01:09:29,160
um I would say uh it's gonna get the job
1617
01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:30,900
done you can talk to Grandma or your dad
1618
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:33,839
or family or whatever but it's not going
1619
01:09:30,900 --> 01:09:34,920
to be a really high quality webcam if
1620
01:09:33,839 --> 01:09:36,359
you're looking for like something very
1621
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:39,060
professional or higher quality in
1622
01:09:36,359 --> 01:09:41,640
general for the webcam quality
1623
01:09:39,060 --> 01:09:44,520
but it'll get the job done
1624
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:46,319
if you just need to occasionally use it
1625
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:49,380
um okay
1626
01:09:46,319 --> 01:09:51,859
so let me see if our encryption is done
1627
01:09:49,380 --> 01:09:51,859
or not
1628
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:58,320
it looks like the encryption is
1629
01:09:55,080 --> 01:10:00,840
successfully disabled
1630
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:04,460
let's go ahead and go to our documents
1631
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,460
and do our bios update if we can
1632
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:19,679
all right it did not give us a warning
1633
01:10:16,500 --> 01:10:21,600
about the bit Locker that's good we'll
1634
01:10:19,679 --> 01:10:23,520
go ahead and restart and let that bios
1635
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:26,719
update
1636
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,719
um start its work
1637
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:33,900
fingers crossed
1638
01:10:30,659 --> 01:10:35,340
let's not prick this system
1639
01:10:33,900 --> 01:10:37,020
um okay does it have Windows hello
1640
01:10:35,340 --> 01:10:39,719
Martin it does not have Windows hello
1641
01:10:37,020 --> 01:10:41,580
I'm pretty sure uh Colt says Brandon the
1642
01:10:39,719 --> 01:10:44,699
noise we hear comes from the tough or
1643
01:10:41,580 --> 01:10:46,860
something else uh yeah I have a uh
1644
01:10:44,699 --> 01:10:48,300
external fan right now blowing into the
1645
01:10:46,860 --> 01:10:50,580
room because I have an enclosed like
1646
01:10:48,300 --> 01:10:52,560
studio room here that can heat up over
1647
01:10:50,580 --> 01:10:54,540
time because of the lights and the um
1648
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,040
the computers and all that so I have a
1649
01:10:54,540 --> 01:10:57,659
fan blowing in
1650
01:10:56,040 --> 01:11:00,840
um when we actually that's why I closed
1651
01:10:57,659 --> 01:11:02,900
the door when we do a test
1652
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:02,900
um
1653
01:11:05,219 --> 01:11:09,480
that way uh you know that way that fan
1654
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:12,500
noise doesn't bother us I can turn the
1655
01:11:09,480 --> 01:11:12,500
fan noise down a little bit
1656
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:20,880
there well I dropped the remote but
1657
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,480
that's okay okay all right
1658
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,940
um
1659
01:11:21,480 --> 01:11:24,960
yeah so so yeah now you're gonna have a
1660
01:11:23,940 --> 01:11:26,400
little bit less fan noise in the
1661
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:28,440
background we do not have like the tough
1662
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:30,900
is not making any fan noise right now my
1663
01:11:28,440 --> 01:11:33,860
blade 18 is making just a little bit of
1664
01:11:30,900 --> 01:11:33,860
fan noise right now
1665
01:11:34,980 --> 01:11:41,460
okay is the um wait
1666
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:43,380
did the did the BIOS update happen that
1667
01:11:41,460 --> 01:11:45,060
fast
1668
01:11:43,380 --> 01:11:47,780
I was distracted for a minute talking
1669
01:11:45,060 --> 01:11:47,780
about the fan
1670
01:11:52,140 --> 01:11:57,800
did it are we on bios 315 though let's
1671
01:11:55,500 --> 01:11:57,800
check
1672
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:08,760
no it says 307.
1673
01:12:17,219 --> 01:12:22,140
so not sure what's going on there uh you
1674
01:12:20,340 --> 01:12:24,179
know it says
1675
01:12:22,140 --> 01:12:25,860
it says that we're on you know we don't
1676
01:12:24,179 --> 01:12:28,739
have any Windows updates we gotta
1677
01:12:25,860 --> 01:12:30,920
download or anything
1678
01:12:28,739 --> 01:12:30,920
um
1679
01:12:32,060 --> 01:12:35,480
what's going on
1680
01:12:45,239 --> 01:12:49,440
we'll try to restart it one more time to
1681
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:50,820
see if the BIOS update will take I'm
1682
01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:53,000
gonna pay a little more attention this
1683
01:12:50,820 --> 01:12:53,000
time
1684
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,040
um
1685
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:05,540
so there's when it would start doing the
1686
01:13:01,860 --> 01:13:05,540
BIOS update if it's going to do it
1687
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,719
it did not do it
1688
01:13:21,179 --> 01:13:27,380
um this has three times nvme slots right
1689
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:27,380
nope I think it only has two
1690
01:13:29,219 --> 01:13:33,300
what do I think about Asus after sales
1691
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:36,960
Services I think they have room to grow
1692
01:13:33,300 --> 01:13:38,460
I think they are not perfect and they're
1693
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,500
probably it's about average in terms of
1694
01:13:38,460 --> 01:13:42,600
their after sales but at least with this
1695
01:13:40,500 --> 01:13:44,699
laptop you can go through Best Buy
1696
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:46,560
directly for a warranty support and
1697
01:13:44,699 --> 01:13:48,360
coverage so
1698
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,620
if you have to have it worked on
1699
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,540
hopefully you can just drop it off at a
1700
01:13:49,620 --> 01:13:52,560
Best Buy to get it worked on
1701
01:13:51,540 --> 01:13:54,480
um
1702
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,860
I usually have had good experiences with
1703
01:13:54,480 --> 01:13:58,620
doing that but
1704
01:13:55,860 --> 01:13:59,400
sometimes not so it just depends
1705
01:13:58,620 --> 01:14:03,500
um
1706
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:03,500
maybe there's an updater inside the BIOS
1707
01:14:04,100 --> 01:14:11,400
not sure what's going on with that uh
1708
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:14,820
I might need to try to set up
1709
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:19,260
the my Asus because I know my Asus does
1710
01:14:14,820 --> 01:14:20,880
the uh an updater as well let me um
1711
01:14:19,260 --> 01:14:23,060
let me get logged into my Aces real
1712
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:23,060
quick
1713
01:14:50,159 --> 01:14:54,080
um I believe we are logged in now
1714
01:14:57,060 --> 01:15:02,900
all right uh so let's go to the user
1715
01:15:00,420 --> 01:15:02,900
Center
1716
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:08,880
not sure
1717
01:15:05,719 --> 01:15:12,300
where is
1718
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:17,360
the update device needs to be updated
1719
01:15:12,300 --> 01:15:17,360
V bios upgrade utility
1720
01:15:25,860 --> 01:15:30,320
bios update for Windows
1721
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:35,580
type 1 after system reboot you may see
1722
01:15:34,020 --> 01:15:38,239
an updating bios screen similar to the
1723
01:15:35,580 --> 01:15:38,239
one shown above
1724
01:15:42,060 --> 01:15:45,060
confirm
1725
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:04,739
they're updating my Asus right now see
1726
01:16:03,300 --> 01:16:06,120
the thing is we just downloaded the file
1727
01:16:04,739 --> 01:16:08,040
that we already just downloaded so I
1728
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:10,500
don't think
1729
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:13,560
I don't think it's uh I don't think it's
1730
01:16:10,500 --> 01:16:16,100
any different you know like
1731
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,100
like
1732
01:16:17,820 --> 01:16:22,380
we got this V bio we got this V bios
1733
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:24,920
upgrade I would really like to be able
1734
01:16:22,380 --> 01:16:24,920
to get that
1735
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:45,560
I'll put it into pictures
1736
01:16:48,540 --> 01:16:53,420
this is the uh this is the V bios
1737
01:16:50,940 --> 01:16:53,420
upgrade
1738
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,159
this is the same thing we just did
1739
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:11,820
please restart the computer now okay
1740
01:17:09,900 --> 01:17:13,260
checking chat in case someone in chat
1741
01:17:11,820 --> 01:17:14,820
knows what's going on
1742
01:17:13,260 --> 01:17:16,920
how do you find the noise of this laptop
1743
01:17:14,820 --> 01:17:19,260
overall
1744
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:20,940
um is it
1745
01:17:19,260 --> 01:17:22,260
because for me the laptop is very silent
1746
01:17:20,940 --> 01:17:24,179
under normal notes it only gets loud
1747
01:17:22,260 --> 01:17:25,199
when I turbo and start gaming yeah when
1748
01:17:24,179 --> 01:17:27,659
you switch to turbo mode and start
1749
01:17:25,199 --> 01:17:28,440
gaming it should get loud
1750
01:17:27,659 --> 01:17:30,600
um
1751
01:17:28,440 --> 01:17:32,880
I wonder if we need to force it to go
1752
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:35,820
into the BIOS here we'll we'll try we'll
1753
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:38,940
try going into the BIOS on our own and
1754
01:17:35,820 --> 01:17:42,540
see if it'll update we could also try
1755
01:17:38,940 --> 01:17:45,000
extracting maybe that bios update file
1756
01:17:42,540 --> 01:17:47,719
to a flash drive let me grab a flash
1757
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,719
drive real quick
1758
01:17:59,340 --> 01:18:01,940
um all right
1759
01:18:05,159 --> 01:18:10,380
so it did not apply
1760
01:18:07,440 --> 01:18:12,060
the BIOS updates so troubleshooting 101
1761
01:18:10,380 --> 01:18:14,159
let's try to figure this out if we can
1762
01:18:12,060 --> 01:18:15,480
if we can't figure it out we might have
1763
01:18:14,159 --> 01:18:16,440
to do some testing without the BIOS
1764
01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:17,640
update
1765
01:18:16,440 --> 01:18:20,280
um
1766
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:22,560
which is not ideal definitely not ideal
1767
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:25,260
if we have to do that but uh all right
1768
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:28,280
so we're going to go ahead and uh
1769
01:18:25,260 --> 01:18:28,280
we'll try
1770
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:37,040
we're going to pop in a
1771
01:18:33,739 --> 01:18:37,040
flash drive
1772
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:42,440
let's do this update utility
1773
01:18:43,380 --> 01:18:49,560
let's hit extract now instead
1774
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:51,420
and we're going to extract it to our
1775
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:53,900
flash drive in case we need to put it on
1776
01:18:51,420 --> 01:18:53,900
the flash drive
1777
01:18:54,239 --> 01:18:57,480
all right
1778
01:18:55,920 --> 01:19:01,020
we've extracted it to the flash drive
1779
01:18:57,480 --> 01:19:03,960
with C here it is now
1780
01:19:01,020 --> 01:19:06,679
so that is the that is the BIOS update
1781
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,679
file right there
1782
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:09,260
um
1783
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:18,600
let's go ahead and shut down the laptop
1784
01:19:16,860 --> 01:19:20,880
and we'll try going into the BIOS and
1785
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:22,739
see if we can make this happen
1786
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:24,360
do you think the Alienware M16 is a good
1787
01:19:22,739 --> 01:19:26,520
buy on sale right now how were the temps
1788
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:30,480
on that laptop temps were not very great
1789
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:32,159
for the CPU the GPU Temple is great
1790
01:19:30,480 --> 01:19:33,420
um CPU attempts just depended on the
1791
01:19:32,159 --> 01:19:34,980
workload
1792
01:19:33,420 --> 01:19:36,420
um fans were very loud on that laptop
1793
01:19:34,980 --> 01:19:38,940
and the software kind of sucked maybe
1794
01:19:36,420 --> 01:19:40,560
the software's gotten better
1795
01:19:38,940 --> 01:19:42,600
but anything we really dropped the ball
1796
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:45,000
on the software front of things side of
1797
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:47,820
things so okay I'm gonna press f2 and
1798
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:51,920
delete I'm not sure which key goes into
1799
01:19:47,820 --> 01:19:51,920
the BIOS it might be F12 or f11 too
1800
01:19:52,679 --> 01:19:56,640
okay so we got into the BIOS with either
1801
01:19:54,540 --> 01:19:57,900
F2 or delete usually it's one of those
1802
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,699
two
1803
01:19:57,900 --> 01:20:01,920
um all right so we're you can see that
1804
01:19:59,699 --> 01:20:03,000
we have BIOS version 307 up here in the
1805
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:06,380
top left
1806
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,380
and uh
1807
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:13,100
so the Asus Advanced
1808
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:13,100
um
1809
01:20:14,940 --> 01:20:20,960
advanced mode is F7 so I'm going to tap
1810
01:20:18,719 --> 01:20:24,719
F7
1811
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:28,880
and let's see if we can figure out the
1812
01:20:24,719 --> 01:20:28,880
buttons to update
1813
01:20:30,179 --> 01:20:33,320
boot security
1814
01:20:35,420 --> 01:20:40,090
[Music]
1815
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:50,040
okay there should probably be an option
1816
01:20:48,780 --> 01:20:53,040
for
1817
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:53,040
updating
1818
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,040
the BIOS
1819
01:21:04,260 --> 01:21:07,739
so there's a you're getting a nice
1820
01:21:06,060 --> 01:21:09,239
preview of the biosphere there's a lot
1821
01:21:07,739 --> 01:21:13,140
of different options in here including
1822
01:21:09,239 --> 01:21:14,760
disabling the P cores or e-cores which
1823
01:21:13,140 --> 01:21:17,000
might be interesting to play around with
1824
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:19,199
USB and Graphics configurations
1825
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:21,420
usually you probably need to mesh with
1826
01:21:19,199 --> 01:21:23,420
these things because you can do
1827
01:21:21,420 --> 01:21:23,420
um
1828
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:28,580
you can do almost all of those things
1829
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,580
without
1830
01:21:31,159 --> 01:21:35,280
uh
1831
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:37,560
uh Asus easy flash utility I'm not sure
1832
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:41,060
if this is the right
1833
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:41,060
one to do or not
1834
01:21:46,679 --> 01:21:50,960
right here it's showing the BIOS version
1835
01:21:48,239 --> 01:21:50,960
307
1836
01:22:02,719 --> 01:22:05,960
oh okay
1837
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:13,100
let's see here
1838
01:22:09,480 --> 01:22:13,100
it's kind of hard to control this
1839
01:22:13,140 --> 01:22:18,480
how do I go back okay so enter is
1840
01:22:16,739 --> 01:22:20,600
selector load
1841
01:22:18,480 --> 01:22:24,620
up or down
1842
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,620
page.page down is to
1843
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:31,140
switch pages
1844
01:22:28,440 --> 01:22:34,140
very confusing
1845
01:22:31,140 --> 01:22:34,140
interface
1846
01:22:35,100 --> 01:22:41,840
we'll leave that we'll go back into it
1847
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,840
I can also click on it
1848
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:49,699
okay so this is the directory that's the
1849
01:22:47,460 --> 01:22:53,699
that's where the BIOS file is located
1850
01:22:49,699 --> 01:22:57,480
and then the
1851
01:22:53,699 --> 01:23:01,739
file I believe is this one right here
1852
01:22:57,480 --> 01:23:04,920
the FX 507 z14 315
1853
01:23:01,739 --> 01:23:06,600
you want to use this file yes
1854
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:09,540
let's find out if we break the system
1855
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:11,280
here we go do you really want to update
1856
01:23:09,540 --> 01:23:14,880
the BIOS
1857
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:16,140
bios information version 315 do not shut
1858
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:17,699
down or remove external power from your
1859
01:23:16,140 --> 01:23:20,640
computer during the process
1860
01:23:17,699 --> 01:23:22,260
yes bios upgrade is processing yes we
1861
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,940
figured it out
1862
01:23:22,260 --> 01:23:25,860
um even though hopefully this doesn't
1863
01:23:23,940 --> 01:23:27,540
cause any problems
1864
01:23:25,860 --> 01:23:28,980
even though Asus update utility was not
1865
01:23:27,540 --> 01:23:32,040
working how it was supposed to it was
1866
01:23:28,980 --> 01:23:33,900
supposed to just automatically happen so
1867
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,580
I hope there's Advanced Optimus as well
1868
01:23:33,900 --> 01:23:38,460
there is Advanced Optimus with this
1869
01:23:35,580 --> 01:23:41,699
laptop right that's pretty amazing
1870
01:23:38,460 --> 01:23:44,520
um for the price of 11.49 it is just
1871
01:23:41,699 --> 01:23:46,140
just mind-blowing all the different
1872
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:48,540
features this thing's got
1873
01:23:46,140 --> 01:23:49,860
baked into it
1874
01:23:48,540 --> 01:23:52,140
um okay
1875
01:23:49,860 --> 01:23:53,820
I'm planning on upgrading my 2021 tough
1876
01:23:52,140 --> 01:23:55,440
F-15 in the future so I really hope they
1877
01:23:53,820 --> 01:23:57,360
made a great job on this one yeah we'll
1878
01:23:55,440 --> 01:23:59,580
have to see
1879
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:01,920
um they everything seems to be pretty
1880
01:23:59,580 --> 01:24:04,080
dang impressive so far except for uh the
1881
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:07,080
brightness up and down changing buttons
1882
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:09,719
not working uh stardom play says would
1883
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:11,820
you recommend reinstalling reinstating
1884
01:24:09,719 --> 01:24:13,679
the warranty on a device after it ran
1885
01:24:11,820 --> 01:24:15,840
out even if the device has given me no
1886
01:24:13,679 --> 01:24:18,060
issues during the year I've owned it
1887
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:19,140
totally up to you
1888
01:24:18,060 --> 01:24:20,460
um most of the issues you're going to
1889
01:24:19,140 --> 01:24:22,260
get with a gaming laptop are going to
1890
01:24:20,460 --> 01:24:23,760
happen in the first few months of using
1891
01:24:22,260 --> 01:24:25,500
it
1892
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:27,179
um you're going to notice like
1893
01:24:25,500 --> 01:24:29,760
probably the most common things are
1894
01:24:27,179 --> 01:24:33,920
going to be like display pixels going
1895
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:37,260
bad thermals not being very good or
1896
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:40,199
keyboard Keys breaking or whatever
1897
01:24:37,260 --> 01:24:41,580
little minor things like that those are
1898
01:24:40,199 --> 01:24:44,400
the most common issues you'll have with
1899
01:24:41,580 --> 01:24:46,739
the gaming laptop and
1900
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:49,380
the uh
1901
01:24:46,739 --> 01:24:50,760
most people
1902
01:24:49,380 --> 01:24:52,860
probably are not going to have many
1903
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:54,480
problems with that's the reality of it
1904
01:24:52,860 --> 01:24:55,620
but there are people that are going to
1905
01:24:54,480 --> 01:24:57,780
have like a lot of problems so it's just
1906
01:24:55,620 --> 01:24:59,880
going to depend I personally would not
1907
01:24:57,780 --> 01:25:02,040
invest extra money in an extended
1908
01:24:59,880 --> 01:25:03,120
warranty
1909
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:05,280
um
1910
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:07,800
unless it's really
1911
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:10,020
really inexpensive
1912
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:11,520
to add it on and the laptop itself is
1913
01:25:10,020 --> 01:25:13,980
very expensive or whatever so if it's
1914
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:15,420
like fifty dollars more to take the
1915
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:16,800
warranty from one year to three years
1916
01:25:15,420 --> 01:25:19,140
yeah that's gonna be worth it if it's
1917
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,940
like 300 more
1918
01:25:19,140 --> 01:25:22,560
probably not worth it unless it's like a
1919
01:25:20,940 --> 01:25:24,060
four thousand dollar laptop or at least
1920
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,560
three thousand dollar laptop you know
1921
01:25:24,060 --> 01:25:28,260
like it depends on how much the laptop
1922
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:31,380
is uh if you need to replace it or
1923
01:25:28,260 --> 01:25:32,699
whatever but uh it's better I think to
1924
01:25:31,380 --> 01:25:34,739
save your money and then buy a new
1925
01:25:32,699 --> 01:25:37,320
laptop if you happen to have a problem
1926
01:25:34,739 --> 01:25:39,440
two or three years from then
1927
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,440
um
1928
01:25:39,719 --> 01:25:45,320
yeah that's usually what I would say but
1929
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,320
yeah it just depends
1930
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:52,199
start on places thanks for the advice
1931
01:25:50,340 --> 01:25:53,760
yeah it's it's good I don't want to give
1932
01:25:52,199 --> 01:25:55,020
you bad advice but you're kind of
1933
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:56,159
playing the lottery no matter what you
1934
01:25:55,020 --> 01:25:57,420
do
1935
01:25:56,159 --> 01:25:58,679
um because you know if you buy the
1936
01:25:57,420 --> 01:26:00,659
warranty and then you don't have any
1937
01:25:58,679 --> 01:26:03,840
problems then you're like well I just
1938
01:26:00,659 --> 01:26:04,560
spent 200 on a warranty that's useless
1939
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:06,600
um
1940
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:09,300
like I got my I got an extended warranty
1941
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:11,820
on the legion 7i that I had and I never
1942
01:26:09,300 --> 01:26:13,620
had to use the warranty to fix anything
1943
01:26:11,820 --> 01:26:16,080
so
1944
01:26:13,620 --> 01:26:18,480
wasted money you know it was like 150
1945
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:21,060
bucks to get like a three year warranty
1946
01:26:18,480 --> 01:26:23,400
but didn't have to use it so
1947
01:26:21,060 --> 01:26:25,380
and now I'm selling that laptop
1948
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:27,000
which now the warranty does make the
1949
01:26:25,380 --> 01:26:30,320
laptop have a little bit better resale
1950
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,320
value though so that's nice
1951
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:47,699
check let me see if I miss any questions
1952
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,679
in chat
1953
01:26:47,699 --> 01:26:53,060
scrolling up I'm not seeing anything
1954
01:26:49,679 --> 01:26:53,060
that I missed
1955
01:26:56,120 --> 01:27:01,679
with that facial expression enough said
1956
01:26:58,860 --> 01:27:03,960
LOL yeah
1957
01:27:01,679 --> 01:27:06,560
I was talking about the webcam picture a
1958
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:06,560
little bit ago
1959
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:14,460
called says that's my baby you got there
1960
01:27:10,739 --> 01:27:17,460
Brandon with a 40 60 and i7 13700h
1961
01:27:14,460 --> 01:27:20,940
1700 euros in Greece wow that is a lot
1962
01:27:17,460 --> 01:27:22,980
more than this 4070 version
1963
01:27:20,940 --> 01:27:25,280
um in the United States though this is
1964
01:27:22,980 --> 01:27:25,280
obviously
1965
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:31,260
this is obviously very nice for the
1966
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,920
money because it's on sale right now
1967
01:27:31,260 --> 01:27:33,600
um
1968
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:36,300
fluke says is it necessary to Future
1969
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:39,540
proof a laptop with Zen 4 and a 4000
1970
01:27:36,300 --> 01:27:39,540
series GPU
1971
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:43,980
um that's kind of a confusing way to
1972
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,540
word that question fluke I would say
1973
01:27:43,980 --> 01:27:50,100
there are a lot of other options besides
1974
01:27:45,540 --> 01:27:51,960
Zen 4 and 4000 series gpus and uh there
1975
01:27:50,100 --> 01:27:54,300
are many good deals on RTX 3000 Series
1976
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:55,980
Laptops and honestly even an RTX 2000
1977
01:27:54,300 --> 01:28:00,360
series laptop can still play most games
1978
01:27:55,980 --> 01:28:01,080
on high or ultra settings at 1080p
1979
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:03,120
um
1980
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:04,920
so yeah it's just going to depend on
1981
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:06,900
what you want what resolution you want
1982
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:08,580
to play the games at and how high of an
1983
01:28:06,900 --> 01:28:10,199
FPS you really really need we're almost
1984
01:28:08,580 --> 01:28:11,880
done with the BIOS update it's taking
1985
01:28:10,199 --> 01:28:13,380
about uh what like two or three minutes
1986
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:15,600
so far
1987
01:28:13,380 --> 01:28:18,900
am I ever going to do an unboxing of the
1988
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:22,580
Acer Predator Helios 18.
1989
01:28:18,900 --> 01:28:25,139
um so probably
1990
01:28:22,580 --> 01:28:27,540
update successful the system is going to
1991
01:28:25,139 --> 01:28:29,940
restart it said and then it restarted
1992
01:28:27,540 --> 01:28:31,380
um automatically so that's good so if
1993
01:28:29,940 --> 01:28:34,139
you need to do a bios update use a flash
1994
01:28:31,380 --> 01:28:36,420
drive uh Predator Helios 18 I would love
1995
01:28:34,139 --> 01:28:39,420
to do a review on it it's just a matter
1996
01:28:36,420 --> 01:28:41,820
of getting my hands on it uh I plan to
1997
01:28:39,420 --> 01:28:45,560
hopefully do a review on it before the
1998
01:28:41,820 --> 01:28:45,560
end of the year that's my goal
1999
01:28:46,199 --> 01:28:49,620
my new Legion has a three years premium
2000
01:28:48,179 --> 01:28:51,719
warranty hope I don't have to use it as
2001
01:28:49,620 --> 01:28:54,060
often as the Dell laptops uh to be fair
2002
01:28:51,719 --> 01:28:56,280
I am running Alienware
2003
01:28:54,060 --> 01:28:58,260
to your load on an Inspirion that will
2004
01:28:56,280 --> 01:29:00,860
cause problems
2005
01:28:58,260 --> 01:29:00,860
um gotcha
2006
01:29:01,260 --> 01:29:06,659
Kenneth says this is the only Asus that
2007
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:08,159
is worth buying no there's a lot of good
2008
01:29:06,659 --> 01:29:10,260
Asus laptops out there that are worth
2009
01:29:08,159 --> 01:29:13,080
buying there's high-end Asus laptops
2010
01:29:10,260 --> 01:29:14,580
there's mid-tier Asus laptops I talked
2011
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:17,880
about another one that's worth buying
2012
01:29:14,580 --> 01:29:22,380
the Asus strix G18 today is 400 off 2100
2013
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:23,520
for an RTX 4080 and I9 3980 HX and a QHD
2014
01:29:22,380 --> 01:29:25,560
500
2015
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:27,540
knits brightness 240Hz display that
2016
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:30,239
thing is awesome so go check out my top
2017
01:29:27,540 --> 01:29:32,400
deals that I went over today
2018
01:29:30,239 --> 01:29:35,520
um but yeah I love the scar 16 and 18
2019
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:37,080
the strix g16 and G18 are both pretty
2020
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:41,940
good but the G18 I think is a little
2021
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:43,080
better uh in terms of best value Asus
2022
01:29:41,940 --> 01:29:45,719
laptop
2023
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:47,460
this one's probably the best value I'm
2024
01:29:45,719 --> 01:29:48,659
thinking right now
2025
01:29:47,460 --> 01:29:51,679
um okay I'm gonna go ahead and get my
2026
01:29:48,659 --> 01:29:51,679
PIN in here
2027
01:29:55,440 --> 01:29:58,440
interesting
2028
01:30:01,980 --> 01:30:08,219
right now uh I'm clicking and nothing is
2029
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:10,199
going on with Windows
2030
01:30:08,219 --> 01:30:12,120
like it's supposed to go up and then you
2031
01:30:10,199 --> 01:30:14,460
type in the pin or password or whatever
2032
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:16,380
and nothing's happening
2033
01:30:14,460 --> 01:30:18,239
but I can move my mouse
2034
01:30:16,380 --> 01:30:20,820
which is
2035
01:30:18,239 --> 01:30:22,940
interesting
2036
01:30:20,820 --> 01:30:22,940
um
2037
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:28,080
I'm having a legion 7 Gen 6 and noticing
2038
01:30:26,460 --> 01:30:29,940
the battery is at 39 degrees Celsius
2039
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:32,040
right now typically between 35 is this
2040
01:30:29,940 --> 01:30:34,139
concerning I'm not sure Frosty seven or
2041
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:36,239
what temperature the battery is should
2042
01:30:34,139 --> 01:30:39,600
be at it doesn't seem that hot 35
2043
01:30:36,239 --> 01:30:40,980
degrees Celsius it seems pretty normal
2044
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:44,340
um because you think about like a GPU
2045
01:30:40,980 --> 01:30:46,679
goes to like 87 degrees Celsius
2046
01:30:44,340 --> 01:30:49,820
so that's a huge
2047
01:30:46,679 --> 01:30:49,820
a huge Mount down
2048
01:30:51,540 --> 01:30:55,560
oh
2049
01:30:52,679 --> 01:30:59,159
okay now it seems to be working so let
2050
01:30:55,560 --> 01:31:02,100
me see if I can get the pin in uh
2051
01:30:59,159 --> 01:31:04,980
I think I was pressing the keyboard just
2052
01:31:02,100 --> 01:31:06,420
on the number pad which was disabled
2053
01:31:04,980 --> 01:31:07,440
because the number pad by default is
2054
01:31:06,420 --> 01:31:09,300
turned off so you have to press the
2055
01:31:07,440 --> 01:31:10,980
number pad button before it'll work so
2056
01:31:09,300 --> 01:31:12,540
that's on me okay
2057
01:31:10,980 --> 01:31:13,860
uh but I was pressing some of the other
2058
01:31:12,540 --> 01:31:16,139
keys
2059
01:31:13,860 --> 01:31:18,420
anyway weird Okay so we're not getting
2060
01:31:16,139 --> 01:31:20,219
the same error anymore let's check out
2061
01:31:18,420 --> 01:31:23,040
my Asus and see if there's any other
2062
01:31:20,219 --> 01:31:24,600
updates we need to do
2063
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:26,400
um I think there was a v bios update
2064
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:27,780
that it really wanted to apply as well
2065
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:29,400
which is going to be important for our
2066
01:31:27,780 --> 01:31:30,900
gaming performance tests so let's get
2067
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:33,860
that going
2068
01:31:30,900 --> 01:31:33,860
um let's see if our
2069
01:31:34,020 --> 01:31:40,500
hey brightness is working now
2070
01:31:37,639 --> 01:31:42,420
updating the BIOS look at that it it
2071
01:31:40,500 --> 01:31:44,520
fixed the issue that we were running
2072
01:31:42,420 --> 01:31:47,520
into
2073
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:50,420
go Asus with their updates just got to
2074
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:50,420
get the um
2075
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:58,560
just got to get the
2076
01:31:53,100 --> 01:32:00,719
uh update utility to work properly and
2077
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:06,199
boom yeah
2078
01:32:00,719 --> 01:32:06,199
uh is 74 of s s d remaining
2079
01:32:06,239 --> 01:32:12,480
life good for my laptop uh where are you
2080
01:32:09,179 --> 01:32:14,159
getting the 74 of your SSD
2081
01:32:12,480 --> 01:32:15,600
like what is rating your SSD is only
2082
01:32:14,159 --> 01:32:17,520
being 74 percent
2083
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:19,500
for your life of your SSD that doesn't
2084
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:20,820
make any sense ssds can last a long time
2085
01:32:19,500 --> 01:32:24,120
like 10 years
2086
01:32:20,820 --> 01:32:26,219
probably on average of good amount of
2087
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:28,260
usage maybe less if you're like
2088
01:32:26,219 --> 01:32:30,300
constantly loading data or through them
2089
01:32:28,260 --> 01:32:33,380
or something but um generally speaking
2090
01:32:30,300 --> 01:32:33,380
they should last a long time
2091
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:40,260
the R9 7940hs variant of this tough for
2092
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:42,480
battery life okay so your question
2093
01:32:40,260 --> 01:32:44,100
previously between
2094
01:32:42,480 --> 01:32:46,880
um
2095
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:46,880
between
2096
01:32:47,460 --> 01:32:54,900
the i7 13700h or the ryzen 9 7940 HS
2097
01:32:53,100 --> 01:32:56,580
that's a tough one they're both good
2098
01:32:54,900 --> 01:32:58,500
CPUs I don't think you're really going
2099
01:32:56,580 --> 01:33:01,020
wrong with either of those CPUs if I'm
2100
01:32:58,500 --> 01:33:03,139
being honest with you
2101
01:33:01,020 --> 01:33:03,139
um
2102
01:33:03,420 --> 01:33:07,199
okay so we're in turbo mode we've got
2103
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,000
the down
2104
01:33:07,199 --> 01:33:10,320
I pressed the button we're like we're
2105
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:13,520
like loading into Windows right now a
2106
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:13,520
bunch of stuff's loading in for Windows
2107
01:33:18,980 --> 01:33:24,840
uh yeah at Abyss that doesn't really
2108
01:33:22,980 --> 01:33:27,300
mean anything maybe it means you're 74
2109
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:28,920
full on your SSD
2110
01:33:27,300 --> 01:33:32,540
there's no really way to know for sure
2111
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:32,540
how long your SSD is going to last
2112
01:33:32,639 --> 01:33:37,080
um
2113
01:33:33,300 --> 01:33:39,679
okay so we're trying to apply this V
2114
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,679
bios
2115
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:46,100
it's got this dot dot dot
2116
01:33:47,820 --> 01:33:50,520
of course we've got all these other
2117
01:33:49,260 --> 01:33:51,600
applications loading in the background
2118
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:53,340
right now so we're waiting for this
2119
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:55,860
update to go through this is usually the
2120
01:33:53,340 --> 01:33:58,080
kind of thing I take care of before the
2121
01:33:55,860 --> 01:34:00,060
live stream starts but this
2122
01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:01,440
this surprised me because I did Windows
2123
01:34:00,060 --> 01:34:04,320
update and usually Asus does all their
2124
01:34:01,440 --> 01:34:06,540
bios updates through Windows update
2125
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:08,100
um but uh the update did not go through
2126
01:34:06,540 --> 01:34:09,600
through Windows update this time I had
2127
01:34:08,100 --> 01:34:13,100
to do it manually
2128
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:13,100
so that's why it took me by surprise
2129
01:34:28,620 --> 01:34:32,280
this is take definitely taking a minute
2130
01:34:30,480 --> 01:34:35,360
to uh
2131
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:35,360
let's go through this
2132
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:42,780
so I know we will need to open install
2133
01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:45,260
process lasso so we can go ahead and get
2134
01:34:42,780 --> 01:34:45,260
that going
2135
01:34:46,440 --> 01:34:51,980
and uh while this is going on
2136
01:35:08,820 --> 01:35:13,020
I wonder well I wonder if Armory crate
2137
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:15,300
would have the uh the the V bios install
2138
01:35:13,020 --> 01:35:17,100
for us as well I'm sure their website
2139
01:35:15,300 --> 01:35:19,440
would take care of it but
2140
01:35:17,100 --> 01:35:23,179
it's giving me the loading symbol here
2141
01:35:19,440 --> 01:35:23,179
not sure if you can see that
2142
01:35:23,820 --> 01:35:28,020
it's got a loading symbol here so I'm
2143
01:35:25,500 --> 01:35:30,560
assuming it's going to load if we just
2144
01:35:28,020 --> 01:35:30,560
give it time
2145
01:35:31,380 --> 01:35:34,040
but
2146
01:35:34,199 --> 01:35:38,460
I really would like to get that taken
2147
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:41,540
care of before we do our benchmarks
2148
01:35:38,460 --> 01:35:41,540
if at all possible
2149
01:35:49,440 --> 01:35:53,780
so we've got process last so here
2150
01:35:56,040 --> 01:36:01,040
and the SSD right now in this laptop
2151
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:07,679
seems to be running slow
2152
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:08,760
that's my interpretation of it like it
2153
01:36:07,679 --> 01:36:11,820
seems like
2154
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:15,120
things something is really engaging
2155
01:36:11,820 --> 01:36:17,580
the SSD kind of bottlenecking stuff
2156
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:19,260
I'm trying to open the task manager so I
2157
01:36:17,580 --> 01:36:23,420
can see if you know some some
2158
01:36:19,260 --> 01:36:23,420
application is using the disk a lot
2159
01:36:25,199 --> 01:36:30,840
because it's like it's causing Windows
2160
01:36:26,820 --> 01:36:33,360
to be very uh poorly responding to my
2161
01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:36,080
inputs it makes me want to just restart
2162
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:36,080
the system
2163
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:42,980
you know what I mean
2164
01:36:38,699 --> 01:36:42,980
see if a good old reboot can help us out
2165
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:52,820
like I can't
2166
01:36:59,820 --> 01:37:06,139
I can't even get task manager to turn on
2167
01:37:02,340 --> 01:37:06,139
Okay there it finally loaded
2168
01:37:06,179 --> 01:37:08,960
um all right
2169
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:25,080
there are a lot of little applications
2170
01:37:21,179 --> 01:37:27,780
utilizing the um the SSD right now
2171
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:29,880
but not really anything too much there's
2172
01:37:27,780 --> 01:37:33,380
some Microsoft Office stuff going on in
2173
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:33,380
the background which is just annoying
2174
01:37:33,659 --> 01:37:36,440
but
2175
01:37:36,540 --> 01:37:40,320
we are installing updates are you sure
2176
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:42,600
you want to close my Asus no I don't
2177
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:43,980
want to close your
2178
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,900
I just want to know why it's taking so
2179
01:37:43,980 --> 01:37:48,179
long to get the updates installed okay
2180
01:37:45,900 --> 01:37:52,340
let's go over uh while we're waiting
2181
01:37:48,179 --> 01:37:52,340
let's go ahead and get into our device
2182
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:58,500
and uh in Armory crate here and let me
2183
01:37:56,280 --> 01:38:00,600
show you uh how to control your this
2184
01:37:58,500 --> 01:38:02,460
laptop if you decide this is a laptop
2185
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:06,000
you're interested in
2186
01:38:02,460 --> 01:38:07,920
um and uh yeah normally things are much
2187
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:10,139
more responsive than this that's one
2188
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:12,260
thing I'll say
2189
01:38:10,139 --> 01:38:12,260
um
2190
01:38:15,540 --> 01:38:18,260
okay
2191
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:29,340
okay so this is the core dashboard that
2192
01:38:24,780 --> 01:38:32,120
you need to be aware of uh and learn
2193
01:38:29,340 --> 01:38:32,120
what it is
2194
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,159
all right so
2195
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:41,280
um this guy
2196
01:38:37,159 --> 01:38:43,620
well basically be a guide for you
2197
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:45,780
um on how to tune your laptop
2198
01:38:43,620 --> 01:38:47,520
and control it so if you click the
2199
01:38:45,780 --> 01:38:49,380
windows profile that will basically
2200
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:52,260
default to whatever you set in your
2201
01:38:49,380 --> 01:38:54,179
power settings for Windows 10.
2202
01:38:52,260 --> 01:38:56,280
um I usually don't use the windows
2203
01:38:54,179 --> 01:38:58,679
profile pretty much at all
2204
01:38:56,280 --> 01:39:01,080
I will pretty much use uh performance or
2205
01:38:58,679 --> 01:39:03,600
Turbo or manual
2206
01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:07,100
um unless maybe I'm like in a library or
2207
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:07,100
some kind of similar setting
2208
01:39:12,719 --> 01:39:19,560
yeah something is just
2209
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:23,580
really going funky right now
2210
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:26,900
on this uh this laptop it's like
2211
01:39:23,580 --> 01:39:26,900
everything is going really slow
2212
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:33,239
I really want to reboot the system is
2213
01:39:30,659 --> 01:39:36,360
what I want to do to see if that'll I'll
2214
01:39:33,239 --> 01:39:39,420
get everything working properly would
2215
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:43,920
you pick up this laptop over a g16 RTX
2216
01:39:39,420 --> 01:39:45,960
4060 with the 13650 HX or no yes I would
2217
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:48,780
buy this laptop over the strix g16
2218
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:51,780
unless you really really want the RGB
2219
01:39:48,780 --> 01:39:53,840
implementation of the strix g16
2220
01:39:51,780 --> 01:39:53,840
um
2221
01:39:56,219 --> 01:40:02,780
okay so it finally got us to the point
2222
01:39:58,739 --> 01:40:02,780
where we can use the V bios update tool
2223
01:40:06,540 --> 01:40:13,199
it's just like everything is just slow
2224
01:40:10,380 --> 01:40:15,920
to respond to
2225
01:40:13,199 --> 01:40:15,920
completely
2226
01:40:16,199 --> 01:40:20,820
like just switching between the windows
2227
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:22,940
is taking multiple seconds
2228
01:40:20,820 --> 01:40:22,940
um
2229
01:40:25,440 --> 01:40:29,300
okay I just unplugged this flash drive
2230
01:40:29,580 --> 01:40:34,620
what did that was the flash drive what
2231
01:40:32,159 --> 01:40:36,360
was causing the problem
2232
01:40:34,620 --> 01:40:37,800
wow
2233
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:40,139
everything seems to be responding
2234
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:44,040
normally now I'm clicking on stuff and
2235
01:40:40,139 --> 01:40:46,800
things are going like normal I wonder
2236
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:49,560
what the heck that was that was super
2237
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:50,639
weird okay we've clicked on update V
2238
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:53,580
bios
2239
01:40:50,639 --> 01:40:56,300
let's see if it if we can get the V bios
2240
01:40:53,580 --> 01:40:56,300
to update correctly
2241
01:41:01,860 --> 01:41:05,699
like I wonder if Windows was just trying
2242
01:41:04,139 --> 01:41:08,580
to do something with this flash drive
2243
01:41:05,699 --> 01:41:13,040
like run that other utility or something
2244
01:41:08,580 --> 01:41:13,040
I don't know very very weird
2245
01:41:18,300 --> 01:41:24,560
odd odd behavior for sure so this is uh
2246
01:41:21,179 --> 01:41:24,560
updating the V bios right now
2247
01:41:34,860 --> 01:41:41,820
okay it's flashing the V bios
2248
01:41:37,739 --> 01:41:44,760
fingers crossed two bios updates back to
2249
01:41:41,820 --> 01:41:47,179
back let's see if Asus can knock it out
2250
01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:47,179
of the park
2251
01:41:47,219 --> 01:41:49,400
um
2252
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:01,739
might be the new bios update that caused
2253
01:41:59,820 --> 01:42:03,420
this uh maybe at Abyss but I'm thinking
2254
01:42:01,739 --> 01:42:04,860
there was that USB drive literally the
2255
01:42:03,420 --> 01:42:06,960
moment I pulled that USB drive out
2256
01:42:04,860 --> 01:42:08,880
everything loaded instantly like I'm
2257
01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:10,500
thinking I'm thinking Windows was trying
2258
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:12,540
to like
2259
01:42:10,500 --> 01:42:14,520
do something with the flash drive and it
2260
01:42:12,540 --> 01:42:17,000
was just like hung up on it or something
2261
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:17,000
you know
2262
01:42:19,860 --> 01:42:24,719
sometimes sometimes windows I would say
2263
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:26,520
it's probably a Windows problem not this
2264
01:42:24,719 --> 01:42:27,960
laptop specifically that was causing the
2265
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:30,179
issue
2266
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:33,320
um it looks like
2267
01:42:30,179 --> 01:42:33,320
it looks like it finished
2268
01:42:33,659 --> 01:42:36,320
to me
2269
01:42:36,659 --> 01:42:41,699
it's still got its uh the loading bars
2270
01:42:38,639 --> 01:42:44,780
here though so I'm not sure
2271
01:42:41,699 --> 01:42:44,780
how long it's going to take
2272
01:42:46,980 --> 01:42:52,080
all right so Armory crate let's go ahead
2273
01:42:49,619 --> 01:42:54,800
and go over this uh silent mode is
2274
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:57,659
basically designed for ultra low quiet
2275
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:59,340
gameplay or just like you want this
2276
01:42:57,659 --> 01:43:00,659
machine to be quiet in the office it's
2277
01:42:59,340 --> 01:43:03,300
going to significantly reduce your
2278
01:43:00,659 --> 01:43:05,760
performance performance mode gives you
2279
01:43:03,300 --> 01:43:09,300
like 80 to 90 percent of the performance
2280
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:11,580
as turbo Turbo applies a small overclock
2281
01:43:09,300 --> 01:43:13,679
so silent mode should be very very quiet
2282
01:43:11,580 --> 01:43:16,139
performance mode will be a little bit
2283
01:43:13,679 --> 01:43:18,600
noisy on the fans but not too loud turbo
2284
01:43:16,139 --> 01:43:20,719
mode it's going to be like and manual
2285
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:23,460
mode you can tune it to either be quiet
2286
01:43:20,719 --> 01:43:26,159
medium or super loud and you can also
2287
01:43:23,460 --> 01:43:28,080
tune the performance of the laptop quite
2288
01:43:26,159 --> 01:43:30,560
a bit in manual mode so if I pop over to
2289
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:30,560
manual mode
2290
01:43:31,500 --> 01:43:33,560
um
2291
01:43:35,460 --> 01:43:42,300
okay
2292
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:45,480
manual mode is not letting it's like
2293
01:43:42,300 --> 01:43:48,300
appears to be locked up or something
2294
01:43:45,480 --> 01:43:50,340
it's not responding normally manual mode
2295
01:43:48,300 --> 01:43:52,139
there's two sections one for CPU one for
2296
01:43:50,340 --> 01:43:54,600
GPU let's see if we can get Armory crate
2297
01:43:52,139 --> 01:43:58,340
to restart for us it might be because we
2298
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:58,340
had this V bios update going on
2299
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:06,540
as far as I know the V bios update is
2300
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:08,840
successfully completed so I don't know
2301
01:44:06,540 --> 01:44:08,840
why
2302
01:44:13,440 --> 01:44:17,219
it's like something is going on in the
2303
01:44:15,420 --> 01:44:20,040
background again because I can't get the
2304
01:44:17,219 --> 01:44:22,159
task manager to pop up
2305
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,159
um
2306
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:27,659
I'm thinking it might have something to
2307
01:44:26,219 --> 01:44:31,739
do with this
2308
01:44:27,659 --> 01:44:34,560
this my Asus thing here
2309
01:44:31,739 --> 01:44:37,260
man this is this is very
2310
01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:39,619
annoying to have to deal with on the
2311
01:44:37,260 --> 01:44:39,619
live stream
2312
01:44:40,020 --> 01:44:44,780
we found updates says my Asus
2313
01:44:45,420 --> 01:44:51,000
okay so the V boxes requires a restart
2314
01:44:47,639 --> 01:44:52,639
so we're ready to restart the machine
2315
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:56,100
there we go
2316
01:44:52,639 --> 01:44:59,159
this has a full powered 4070 yes harshit
2317
01:44:56,100 --> 01:45:01,980
Brown it has a full power 4070.
2318
01:44:59,159 --> 01:45:04,199
um it goes as it'll suck as much juice
2319
01:45:01,980 --> 01:45:06,480
as it possibly can
2320
01:45:04,199 --> 01:45:08,940
um it's you know 40 70 is technically
2321
01:45:06,480 --> 01:45:11,400
rated to go to 140 Watts but typically
2322
01:45:08,940 --> 01:45:15,480
almost all 40 70s will pull only like
2323
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:16,860
100 to 120 watts on the high end and so
2324
01:45:15,480 --> 01:45:18,060
that's what I'm expecting is that most
2325
01:45:16,860 --> 01:45:23,100
of the time this is going to pull around
2326
01:45:18,060 --> 01:45:25,199
105 to 110 Watts somewhere in that range
2327
01:45:23,100 --> 01:45:28,560
um
2328
01:45:25,199 --> 01:45:31,219
so so yeah
2329
01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:31,219
okay
2330
01:45:33,300 --> 01:45:37,980
hey the number pad was activated that
2331
01:45:35,820 --> 01:45:40,340
time right off the bat
2332
01:45:37,980 --> 01:45:43,940
I didn't have to click the numpad thing
2333
01:45:40,340 --> 01:45:46,800
and we rebooted very quickly no problem
2334
01:45:43,940 --> 01:45:49,619
hopefully we uh we've got everything
2335
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:51,960
working and updated now so we can move
2336
01:45:49,619 --> 01:45:55,380
through our tests everything seems to be
2337
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:56,880
loading so much faster love it okay so
2338
01:45:55,380 --> 01:45:58,260
um so the things you need to know this
2339
01:45:56,880 --> 01:46:00,000
is the primary mode you need to change
2340
01:45:58,260 --> 01:46:00,960
between silent performance turbo or
2341
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:03,060
manual
2342
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:05,639
if we go to manual mode maybe now we can
2343
01:46:03,060 --> 01:46:08,699
see things yes we can oh updating things
2344
01:46:05,639 --> 01:46:09,840
works oh that's awesome
2345
01:46:08,699 --> 01:46:12,420
um okay
2346
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:14,639
so you can see we've got a manual fan
2347
01:46:12,420 --> 01:46:16,560
profile curve right here you can ramp
2348
01:46:14,639 --> 01:46:18,600
your fans as much or as little as you
2349
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:20,520
want for our testing we're going to do
2350
01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:23,159
Max fans which is basically just sliding
2351
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:25,440
all those up and uh and then we're gonna
2352
01:46:23,159 --> 01:46:28,980
do that for the GPU as well
2353
01:46:25,440 --> 01:46:32,219
and uh for our bass boost clock we're
2354
01:46:28,980 --> 01:46:34,560
going to leave it at 50 100 and with 25
2355
01:46:32,219 --> 01:46:35,900
watts for our Dynamic boost 87 degrees
2356
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:40,380
for our Target
2357
01:46:35,900 --> 01:46:42,840
and then for our pl1 it's 115 we can
2358
01:46:40,380 --> 01:46:44,340
just raise that up to 135 135 and we'll
2359
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:48,300
see how that goes
2360
01:46:44,340 --> 01:46:52,800
for the CPU that is very high amount of
2361
01:46:48,300 --> 01:46:54,239
wattage for a CPU in a laptop this uh
2362
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:57,300
this thin and light honestly this is a
2363
01:46:54,239 --> 01:47:00,300
very portable laptop okay
2364
01:46:57,300 --> 01:47:02,639
very nice now another thing you need to
2365
01:47:00,300 --> 01:47:04,679
know is the GPU mode if you go to
2366
01:47:02,639 --> 01:47:07,260
Ultimate mode that disables the
2367
01:47:04,679 --> 01:47:10,860
integrated GPU on the Intel
2368
01:47:07,260 --> 01:47:13,260
CPU that this basically makes it
2369
01:47:10,860 --> 01:47:15,600
slightly pull less wattage it's really
2370
01:47:13,260 --> 01:47:17,040
not a big deal but you can no longer
2371
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:19,139
have good battery life when you're in
2372
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:21,239
GPU ultimate mode
2373
01:47:19,139 --> 01:47:22,800
um I would never put this into GPU
2374
01:47:21,239 --> 01:47:24,780
ultimate mode if I own the laptop I
2375
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:26,880
would just leave it in standard because
2376
01:47:24,780 --> 01:47:28,679
then I can use Advanced Optimus to
2377
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:32,639
switch between the two for better
2378
01:47:28,679 --> 01:47:35,940
battery life or basically 99.9 of the
2379
01:47:32,639 --> 01:47:37,560
performance uh GPU ultimate mode might
2380
01:47:35,940 --> 01:47:38,880
help improve performance in certain
2381
01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:40,199
titles though
2382
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:43,560
okay
2383
01:47:40,199 --> 01:47:45,900
so maximum fans are running right now
2384
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:48,480
let's get into
2385
01:47:45,900 --> 01:47:50,520
3D Mark time spy and test out these fan
2386
01:47:48,480 --> 01:47:56,219
profiles and see how loud
2387
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:58,380
these fans can get all right
2388
01:47:56,219 --> 01:48:01,380
um we're going to plug in our external
2389
01:47:58,380 --> 01:48:01,380
SSD
2390
01:48:10,730 --> 01:48:13,800
[Music]
2391
01:48:15,780 --> 01:48:18,619
all right
2392
01:48:19,520 --> 01:48:25,760
we're running all of the games and
2393
01:48:21,659 --> 01:48:25,760
applications from the external SSD today
2394
01:48:26,239 --> 01:48:31,400
so everything except Cinemax R23
2395
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:45,480
looks like it's doing a quick update
2396
01:48:43,260 --> 01:48:48,420
um okay
2397
01:48:45,480 --> 01:48:50,340
so max manual mode without overclock
2398
01:48:48,420 --> 01:48:53,520
well what's going to have the default 50
2399
01:48:50,340 --> 01:48:55,739
100 overclock for our testing today
2400
01:48:53,520 --> 01:49:00,360
which is I believe the same overclock
2401
01:48:55,739 --> 01:49:03,360
that turbo mode applies to the laptop
2402
01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:07,199
uh what games are we testing Bob good or
2403
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:08,699
boy boy scoob uh good question here are
2404
01:49:07,199 --> 01:49:10,440
all of the games if you want to pause it
2405
01:49:08,699 --> 01:49:13,139
you can look
2406
01:49:10,440 --> 01:49:15,960
Apex Legends Call of Duty Warzone 2 CS
2407
01:49:13,139 --> 01:49:17,760
go God of War cyberpunk 2077 Hogwarts
2408
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:20,040
Dead Space Last of Us Dying Light two
2409
01:49:17,760 --> 01:49:21,719
Shadow the Tomb Raider Witcher 3. those
2410
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:23,159
are the games that we'll be testing
2411
01:49:21,719 --> 01:49:24,960
today if we can get through all of them
2412
01:49:23,159 --> 01:49:26,880
I hope we can
2413
01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:28,619
um we are doing cinebench don don this
2414
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:30,420
is fan profile testing we're seeing how
2415
01:49:28,619 --> 01:49:32,280
loud the fans are
2416
01:49:30,420 --> 01:49:34,139
um and then we're gonna do our display
2417
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:35,219
test then we're gonna do Cinema star 23.
2418
01:49:34,139 --> 01:49:36,300
then we're ready to get into our game
2419
01:49:35,219 --> 01:49:40,040
testing
2420
01:49:36,300 --> 01:49:40,040
we're getting closer step by step
2421
01:49:49,739 --> 01:49:54,800
all right 3D Mark is loaded up now
2422
01:49:56,159 --> 01:50:02,580
Bingo Bongo we're going to primarily be
2423
01:49:59,340 --> 01:50:05,040
focused on fan noise testing okay so
2424
01:50:02,580 --> 01:50:07,980
that means we're going to do Graphics
2425
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:10,460
Test 2 in a window mode with a loop
2426
01:50:07,980 --> 01:50:10,460
enabled
2427
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:15,320
um and we're going to run it custom all
2428
01:50:13,139 --> 01:50:15,320
right
2429
01:50:17,340 --> 01:50:20,780
turn on afterburner
2430
01:50:24,719 --> 01:50:29,880
so we can see our temperatures
2431
01:50:27,480 --> 01:50:33,000
and I want to point out that we have the
2432
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:35,040
laptop raised up about
2433
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:37,080
a half inch or so because I've got the
2434
01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:39,060
external SSD enclosure underneath the
2435
01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:41,040
back of the laptop this is going to
2436
01:50:39,060 --> 01:50:45,320
slightly improve the airflow to the
2437
01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:45,320
laptop so just keep that in mind
2438
01:50:45,659 --> 01:50:50,540
um all right so looks like we need to
2439
01:50:47,460 --> 01:50:50,540
make our
2440
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:57,600
foreign
2441
01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:06,179
make this just a little bigger okay cool
2442
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:09,420
Okay so
2443
01:51:06,179 --> 01:51:12,000
boom we're in manual fan mode maximum
2444
01:51:09,420 --> 01:51:14,639
fans these are going to be the best
2445
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:16,500
performance with the Best Temps pretty
2446
01:51:14,639 --> 01:51:19,080
much that we're gonna see probably on
2447
01:51:16,500 --> 01:51:20,460
the laptop most likely maybe turbo mode
2448
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:23,639
will have slightly better performance
2449
01:51:20,460 --> 01:51:28,020
you can see we're pulling a 102 Watts
2450
01:51:23,639 --> 01:51:29,219
right now 112 Watts 110 Watts
2451
01:51:28,020 --> 01:51:31,699
um that's a good amount of wattage
2452
01:51:29,219 --> 01:51:36,540
notice our GPU boost clock is doing
2453
01:51:31,699 --> 01:51:39,480
23.55 100 GPU utilization our GPU temps
2454
01:51:36,540 --> 01:51:41,580
are coming up still as the system is
2455
01:51:39,480 --> 01:51:45,659
getting heat saturated
2456
01:51:41,580 --> 01:51:47,940
63 degrees on the GPU 77 degrees on the
2457
01:51:45,659 --> 01:51:51,719
CPU here after running it for about a
2458
01:51:47,940 --> 01:51:53,460
minute so that's obviously very good in
2459
01:51:51,719 --> 01:51:55,020
my opinion
2460
01:51:53,460 --> 01:51:58,679
um we'll have to see if these temps go
2461
01:51:55,020 --> 01:52:02,580
up and climb up and up but so far
2462
01:51:58,679 --> 01:52:04,860
if we can keep the temps below 80
2463
01:52:02,580 --> 01:52:06,659
hopefully we can keep them around 70 at
2464
01:52:04,860 --> 01:52:08,880
least with Max fans on
2465
01:52:06,659 --> 01:52:10,800
that would be fantastic all right so
2466
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:12,179
well we're doing well we're gonna let it
2467
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:14,040
keep running right
2468
01:52:12,179 --> 01:52:15,179
um while it's running we're gonna go
2469
01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:17,780
ahead
2470
01:52:15,179 --> 01:52:21,619
and grab our
2471
01:52:17,780 --> 01:52:21,619
decibel sound meter
2472
01:52:22,320 --> 01:52:26,360
and we're gonna see how loud these fans
2473
01:52:24,179 --> 01:52:26,360
are
2474
01:52:41,460 --> 01:52:47,540
so maximum fans are right around 56 and
2475
01:52:44,699 --> 01:52:47,540
a half decibels
2476
01:52:53,960 --> 01:53:01,619
56.4 decibels approximately
2477
01:52:58,020 --> 01:53:03,300
um and zooming in on our temps let's see
2478
01:53:01,619 --> 01:53:05,600
how we're doing after a couple of
2479
01:53:03,300 --> 01:53:05,600
minutes
2480
01:53:06,540 --> 01:53:13,080
80 degrees on that CPU
2481
01:53:10,139 --> 01:53:15,840
it's getting a little bit spicy
2482
01:53:13,080 --> 01:53:19,380
we do have a high powered CPU in this
2483
01:53:15,840 --> 01:53:21,119
laptop so I'm expecting the CPU to
2484
01:53:19,380 --> 01:53:23,639
potentially get really hot in certain
2485
01:53:21,119 --> 01:53:26,040
games but we can of course tweak the CPU
2486
01:53:23,639 --> 01:53:27,960
power to optimize our temperatures if we
2487
01:53:26,040 --> 01:53:31,380
need to
2488
01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:34,619
um overall GPU temperature at 71 degrees
2489
01:53:31,380 --> 01:53:36,179
is very good not as good as like some of
2490
01:53:34,619 --> 01:53:38,639
the laptops we've seen some of the
2491
01:53:36,179 --> 01:53:42,480
laptops being able to do 105 watts and
2492
01:53:38,639 --> 01:53:45,420
keep the GPU temperature like way down
2493
01:53:42,480 --> 01:53:47,520
um like in the in the 60s at least with
2494
01:53:45,420 --> 01:53:51,119
maximum fans but these are good temps
2495
01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:52,860
these are very good temps overall uh
2496
01:53:51,119 --> 01:53:55,739
we're not we're not anywhere close to
2497
01:53:52,860 --> 01:53:59,820
Thermal throttling on the CPU or the GPU
2498
01:53:55,739 --> 01:54:00,900
here in maximum fan mode 125 116 Watts
2499
01:53:59,820 --> 01:54:02,460
up there
2500
01:54:00,900 --> 01:54:05,639
um so we were pulling a little bit
2501
01:54:02,460 --> 01:54:08,420
higher wattage at least temporarily
2502
01:54:05,639 --> 01:54:08,420
um okay
2503
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:16,260
or just says coil wine I I am not
2504
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:19,040
hearing any coil lines so far I'm just
2505
01:54:16,260 --> 01:54:19,040
hearing the fans
2506
01:54:22,500 --> 01:54:27,840
Max fans equals lower lifespan of the
2507
01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:30,300
fans that's a good point scoob
2508
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:32,280
good point scoob yes that is that is
2509
01:54:30,300 --> 01:54:34,380
important to keep in mind
2510
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:36,600
um I would only put it on maximum fan
2511
01:54:34,380 --> 01:54:39,360
mode uh if you are actually gaming all
2512
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:43,500
right so uh so
2513
01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:46,080
our temps for manual fan mode 71 72 for
2514
01:54:43,500 --> 01:54:48,659
the GPU 7374
2515
01:54:46,080 --> 01:54:50,760
um and the CPU was bouncing between 75
2516
01:54:48,659 --> 01:54:53,100
to 80. okay let's go ahead and go to
2517
01:54:50,760 --> 01:54:56,239
turbo mode
2518
01:54:53,100 --> 01:54:58,500
now turbo mode is going to
2519
01:54:56,239 --> 01:55:00,420
reduce the fan noise a little bit
2520
01:54:58,500 --> 01:55:02,880
probably
2521
01:55:00,420 --> 01:55:04,260
uh and when it reduces the fan noise a
2522
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:06,900
little bit it's probably going to ramp
2523
01:55:04,260 --> 01:55:08,639
up the temperatures a little bit at the
2524
01:55:06,900 --> 01:55:09,360
same time I hear the fans going down a
2525
01:55:08,639 --> 01:55:13,800
little
2526
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:16,340
so let's see how much quieter these fans
2527
01:55:13,800 --> 01:55:16,340
are going to get
2528
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:42,960
so we went from 56 decibels 56 and a
2529
01:55:40,320 --> 01:55:44,940
half to 55 and a half decibels with
2530
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:48,260
turbo mode Let's go and check out how
2531
01:55:44,940 --> 01:55:48,260
the temperatures are changing
2532
01:55:52,440 --> 01:55:58,580
so GPU temp hitting 75
2533
01:55:58,739 --> 01:56:03,239
CPU temps staying right around the same
2534
01:56:01,260 --> 01:56:06,179
a little bit higher creeping up into the
2535
01:56:03,239 --> 01:56:09,739
low 80s okay I saw 87 on the GPU
2536
01:56:06,179 --> 01:56:09,739
temporarily there or on the CPU
2537
01:56:12,540 --> 01:56:17,340
again none of these temps are even close
2538
01:56:14,940 --> 01:56:19,199
to Thermal throttling
2539
01:56:17,340 --> 01:56:21,119
but they're not like
2540
01:56:19,199 --> 01:56:22,619
the Best Temps ever they're still
2541
01:56:21,119 --> 01:56:24,860
they're still good they're still very
2542
01:56:22,619 --> 01:56:24,860
good
2543
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:30,260
um
2544
01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:30,260
so this is per this is in turbo mode
2545
01:56:36,659 --> 01:56:40,380
and yeah right around 55 and a half
2546
01:56:38,580 --> 01:56:43,619
decibels for turbo mode Let's go ahead
2547
01:56:40,380 --> 01:56:47,780
and go to uh performance mode
2548
01:56:43,619 --> 01:56:47,780
so we are now in performance mode
2549
01:56:48,300 --> 01:56:57,020
let's see how our performance shifts
2550
01:56:52,860 --> 01:57:00,960
so our GPU TDP drop down to
2551
01:56:57,020 --> 01:57:04,920
95 Watts limits it looks like so we were
2552
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:07,440
bouncing around between 105 to 115 ish
2553
01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:10,139
range most of the time now it looks like
2554
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:12,480
we're going to be capped right around 95
2555
01:57:10,139 --> 01:57:16,560
which is going to give us
2556
01:57:12,480 --> 01:57:19,020
probably 80-ish 85
2557
01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:21,920
maybe even 90 percent of the GPU
2558
01:57:19,020 --> 01:57:25,139
performance our our GPU boost clock
2559
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:28,320
went from 2300 now we're down to a
2560
01:57:25,139 --> 01:57:29,639
little over 220 100 almost 2200 there
2561
01:57:28,320 --> 01:57:31,560
temporarily
2562
01:57:29,639 --> 01:57:33,300
we're bouncing around a lot on our GPU
2563
01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:34,500
clock
2564
01:57:33,300 --> 01:57:37,020
um
2565
01:57:34,500 --> 01:57:39,239
but notice our our temps are not
2566
01:57:37,020 --> 01:57:41,040
actually going up
2567
01:57:39,239 --> 01:57:45,900
right now our temps are actually coming
2568
01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:47,280
down our CPU also dropped in wattage we
2569
01:57:45,900 --> 01:57:49,800
were pulling
2570
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:52,260
well we were pulling probably like 35 to
2571
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:54,060
40 Watts on the CPU when we're in Turbo
2572
01:57:52,260 --> 01:57:59,820
and manual mode now we're only doing
2573
01:57:54,060 --> 01:58:03,139
about 20 watts 95 Watts on that GPU and
2574
01:57:59,820 --> 01:58:05,760
our temps are delicious at
2575
01:58:03,139 --> 01:58:09,179
73.71 and we're still getting pretty
2576
01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:10,800
good FPS here in time spy doing 53 50 49
2577
01:58:09,179 --> 01:58:12,239
that's going to be lower levels of
2578
01:58:10,800 --> 01:58:14,520
performance for sure
2579
01:58:12,239 --> 01:58:16,800
but at least performance mode appears to
2580
01:58:14,520 --> 01:58:19,800
be tuned really well to have a nice
2581
01:58:16,800 --> 01:58:22,320
balance of fan noise and performance and
2582
01:58:19,800 --> 01:58:24,659
temperatures so this would be a great
2583
01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:26,880
mode maybe to do an under volt GPU
2584
01:58:24,659 --> 01:58:29,880
undervolt overclock all right so let's
2585
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:32,460
see how loud these fans are
2586
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:34,619
after achieving kind of a bit of a
2587
01:58:32,460 --> 01:58:36,119
symbiosis here with the uh
2588
01:58:34,619 --> 01:58:37,920
I don't know symbiosis is probably not
2589
01:58:36,119 --> 01:58:39,540
the right word but uh we've got to
2590
01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:44,480
achieved a new acoustic balance let's
2591
01:58:39,540 --> 01:58:44,480
see how loud performance mode is
2592
01:58:52,800 --> 01:59:01,739
47 decibels that is just so quiet
2593
01:58:58,380 --> 01:59:03,119
um the fans are super super minimal
2594
01:59:01,739 --> 01:59:06,239
right now
2595
01:59:03,119 --> 01:59:08,040
um keep in mind my room decibels uh for
2596
01:59:06,239 --> 01:59:10,080
if the laptop's completely quiet the
2597
01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:11,099
Baseline is like 43.5 decibels right now
2598
01:59:10,080 --> 01:59:12,540
in the room
2599
01:59:11,099 --> 01:59:14,219
so
2600
01:59:12,540 --> 01:59:15,659
um that's only like four decibels higher
2601
01:59:14,219 --> 01:59:19,619
than Baseline
2602
01:59:15,659 --> 01:59:21,840
sound super quiet uh let's move on to
2603
01:59:19,619 --> 01:59:24,739
silent mode
2604
01:59:21,840 --> 01:59:24,739
so
2605
01:59:28,340 --> 01:59:32,960
here we go silent mode now
2606
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:38,000
and let's examine our
2607
01:59:38,040 --> 01:59:42,420
how our power limits shift here in
2608
01:59:40,380 --> 01:59:44,960
silent mode I'm expecting a big drop in
2609
01:59:42,420 --> 01:59:44,960
performance
2610
01:59:45,060 --> 01:59:51,540
and TDP 55 Watts we're getting 1600 on
2611
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:55,800
the GPU boost clock
2612
01:59:51,540 --> 01:59:58,380
down from 23.50 approximately 23.40 on
2613
01:59:55,800 --> 02:00:03,380
turbo mode
2614
01:59:58,380 --> 02:00:03,380
our temps are still very good
2615
02:00:05,280 --> 02:00:09,000
even though the fan noise got even
2616
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:13,340
quieter now I'm almost hearing the blade
2617
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:13,340
18 more than the tough right now
2618
02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:21,360
temps are very good our CPU is still
2619
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:25,500
doing around 20 watts 25 watts right now
2620
02:00:21,360 --> 02:00:29,760
18 Watts so GPU basically went down to
2621
02:00:25,500 --> 02:00:33,119
55 and CPU is down to 20 in in silent
2622
02:00:29,760 --> 02:00:35,159
mode Let's see how quiet we are now or
2623
02:00:33,119 --> 02:00:36,480
the target decibel range should be
2624
02:00:35,159 --> 02:00:39,480
around
2625
02:00:36,480 --> 02:00:40,739
43 and a half decibels if it was to be
2626
02:00:39,480 --> 02:00:42,840
completely
2627
02:00:40,739 --> 02:00:45,540
unaudible but I'm I'm kind of hearing it
2628
02:00:42,840 --> 02:00:47,659
just a little bit so let's see
2629
02:00:45,540 --> 02:00:47,659
um
2630
02:00:59,880 --> 02:01:05,460
45 and a half decibels for silent mode
2631
02:01:02,820 --> 02:01:07,440
so between silent mode and performance
2632
02:01:05,460 --> 02:01:08,880
mode performance mode really gives you a
2633
02:01:07,440 --> 02:01:10,800
lot more performance
2634
02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:13,320
only for like two or three decibels
2635
02:01:10,800 --> 02:01:15,119
increase in sound I'd say performance
2636
02:01:13,320 --> 02:01:17,280
mode is the right place to be if you
2637
02:01:15,119 --> 02:01:18,659
want an acoustically balanced gaming
2638
02:01:17,280 --> 02:01:21,480
experience where you're getting the vast
2639
02:01:18,659 --> 02:01:24,119
majority of power from this laptop okay
2640
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:26,280
very nice
2641
02:01:24,119 --> 02:01:27,900
um so there's your fan noise now that we
2642
02:01:26,280 --> 02:01:30,420
have our brightness control back after
2643
02:01:27,900 --> 02:01:34,500
the uh the BIOS update let's go ahead
2644
02:01:30,420 --> 02:01:38,219
and get into our display
2645
02:01:34,500 --> 02:01:41,659
uh testing and see how bright and
2646
02:01:38,219 --> 02:01:41,659
vibrant this display is
2647
02:01:43,139 --> 02:01:46,679
so once again this is all of the things
2648
02:01:45,420 --> 02:01:49,800
we're going to do we have done
2649
02:01:46,679 --> 02:01:50,880
everything up here already we are on uh
2650
02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:52,440
this one
2651
02:01:50,880 --> 02:01:55,260
test display brightness though we've
2652
02:01:52,440 --> 02:01:57,000
already done speaker test and fan noise
2653
02:01:55,260 --> 02:01:58,139
once we're done with the display test
2654
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:01,080
we're gonna move into all of our
2655
02:01:58,139 --> 02:02:02,340
performance testing on this laptop and
2656
02:02:01,080 --> 02:02:03,780
it's going to be super interesting can't
2657
02:02:02,340 --> 02:02:06,119
wait to see how well this laptop
2658
02:02:03,780 --> 02:02:08,900
performs
2659
02:02:06,119 --> 02:02:08,900
okay
2660
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:16,980
all right so I'm gonna need to get the
2661
02:02:14,699 --> 02:02:19,500
now that we're plugged in I can get the
2662
02:02:16,980 --> 02:02:22,040
spider software set up real quick only
2663
02:02:19,500 --> 02:02:22,040
takes a second
2664
02:02:22,500 --> 02:02:25,500
foreign
2665
02:02:45,440 --> 02:02:49,040
memorized this by now
2666
02:02:56,520 --> 02:03:02,040
I've had to put it in so many times okay
2667
02:02:59,820 --> 02:03:03,900
cool
2668
02:03:02,040 --> 02:03:05,340
all right so the spider 5 Elite software
2669
02:03:03,900 --> 02:03:08,300
is set up let's go ahead and do our
2670
02:03:05,340 --> 02:03:08,300
display analysis
2671
02:03:10,260 --> 02:03:15,560
all right so we're doing our color gamut
2672
02:03:12,540 --> 02:03:15,560
and brightness test
2673
02:03:31,199 --> 02:03:34,040
there we go
2674
02:03:35,760 --> 02:03:39,980
we are at 100 brightness right now
2675
02:03:40,739 --> 02:03:48,719
and this display looks awesome
2676
02:03:45,780 --> 02:03:50,280
like it looks very colorful and very
2677
02:03:48,719 --> 02:03:50,940
bright
2678
02:03:50,280 --> 02:03:52,560
um
2679
02:03:50,940 --> 02:03:54,119
for com like when I'm comparing it
2680
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:55,560
against the other laptops that are like
2681
02:03:54,119 --> 02:03:57,420
around the thousand-ish dollar price
2682
02:03:55,560 --> 02:03:59,400
point this is definitely above average
2683
02:03:57,420 --> 02:04:03,659
because it is it's supposedly rated to
2684
02:03:59,400 --> 02:04:07,880
100 srgb for the color gamut so
2685
02:04:03,659 --> 02:04:07,880
um I'm very curious to see what we get
2686
02:04:10,199 --> 02:04:15,380
all right and we need to set the
2687
02:04:12,119 --> 02:04:15,380
brightness all the way down to zero
2688
02:04:15,900 --> 02:04:20,880
okay checking chat while we're doing
2689
02:04:18,300 --> 02:04:22,500
this uh Brett Burke says wow pretty
2690
02:04:20,880 --> 02:04:24,719
impressive yeah are you talking about
2691
02:04:22,500 --> 02:04:26,760
The Thermals I agree The Thermals on
2692
02:04:24,719 --> 02:04:27,360
this were pretty impressive
2693
02:04:26,760 --> 02:04:30,060
um
2694
02:04:27,360 --> 02:04:33,719
especially for the price point
2695
02:04:30,060 --> 02:04:37,500
it was a great blend of performance and
2696
02:04:33,719 --> 02:04:38,840
uh overall fan noise like like you're
2697
02:04:37,500 --> 02:04:40,860
getting a nice blend of temperatures
2698
02:04:38,840 --> 02:04:43,380
performance and fan noise all in the
2699
02:04:40,860 --> 02:04:45,540
same package so that was really great to
2700
02:04:43,380 --> 02:04:48,060
see Chris says hello having a hard time
2701
02:04:45,540 --> 02:04:50,159
deciding between the x14 with 4060 or
2702
02:04:48,060 --> 02:04:53,940
the G14 with 4060 I want a more portable
2703
02:04:50,159 --> 02:04:56,900
laptop than the strix g15 got you
2704
02:04:53,940 --> 02:04:59,760
um well the x14 or the 4060 I have not
2705
02:04:56,900 --> 02:05:01,800
uh done a detailed review unboxing of
2706
02:04:59,760 --> 02:05:04,800
that one
2707
02:05:01,800 --> 02:05:09,239
the uh I did get my hands on the x14
2708
02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:10,980
when I was at CES a few months ago
2709
02:05:09,239 --> 02:05:12,840
but I didn't get to like do detailed
2710
02:05:10,980 --> 02:05:15,719
thermal testing and all of that the one
2711
02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:17,940
thing I'll tell you is that with the G14
2712
02:05:15,719 --> 02:05:20,159
when you undervolt that thing and
2713
02:05:17,940 --> 02:05:21,960
optimize it the way I do in my guide
2714
02:05:20,159 --> 02:05:23,400
that I show you how to GPU undervolt it
2715
02:05:21,960 --> 02:05:26,040
and uh
2716
02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:28,800
under volt the even the ryzen chip
2717
02:05:26,040 --> 02:05:32,820
man that thing is awesome thermally it
2718
02:05:28,800 --> 02:05:37,560
has great performance and it is just
2719
02:05:32,820 --> 02:05:41,040
like like it's out of this world how how
2720
02:05:37,560 --> 02:05:42,659
compact the zephyrus G14 is and how good
2721
02:05:41,040 --> 02:05:44,520
it is thermally and the performance on
2722
02:05:42,659 --> 02:05:45,780
it is just amazing
2723
02:05:44,520 --> 02:05:47,639
um
2724
02:05:45,780 --> 02:05:49,619
for the portability and the size and it
2725
02:05:47,639 --> 02:05:52,380
just feels very premium to me the the
2726
02:05:49,619 --> 02:05:54,420
Alienware the Alienware laptop my
2727
02:05:52,380 --> 02:05:55,739
biggest concern would be the software on
2728
02:05:54,420 --> 02:05:59,159
it
2729
02:05:55,739 --> 02:06:01,139
so if the software is
2730
02:05:59,159 --> 02:06:03,719
still janky they didn't wear Command
2731
02:06:01,139 --> 02:06:05,639
Center is still janky I would be like I
2732
02:06:03,719 --> 02:06:07,739
would buy the Asus G14 and a heartbeat
2733
02:06:05,639 --> 02:06:09,360
over the Alienware x14
2734
02:06:07,739 --> 02:06:11,460
but I haven't I haven't tried the
2735
02:06:09,360 --> 02:06:12,599
Alienware software uh in the last few
2736
02:06:11,460 --> 02:06:14,820
months so maybe it's had some
2737
02:06:12,599 --> 02:06:17,340
improvements because it was very buggy
2738
02:06:14,820 --> 02:06:19,500
um and very problematic in my Alienware
2739
02:06:17,340 --> 02:06:22,260
M16 and Alienware
2740
02:06:19,500 --> 02:06:24,300
um M18 reviews that I did
2741
02:06:22,260 --> 02:06:28,080
um a few months ago okay
2742
02:06:24,300 --> 02:06:32,099
all right so here's our display results
2743
02:06:28,080 --> 02:06:34,920
um 97 of 97 of srgb now keep in mind my
2744
02:06:32,099 --> 02:06:37,380
spider 5 Elite actually underestimates
2745
02:06:34,920 --> 02:06:41,099
the color gamut by like
2746
02:06:37,380 --> 02:06:43,860
seven eight percent on average so
2747
02:06:41,099 --> 02:06:46,080
um we're actually getting above 100 srgb
2748
02:06:43,860 --> 02:06:49,380
coverage with this laptop compared to
2749
02:06:46,080 --> 02:06:51,960
most other color Checkers 76 of adobe 76
2750
02:06:49,380 --> 02:06:53,580
of the P3 color gamut again when you add
2751
02:06:51,960 --> 02:06:57,060
seven or eight percent on here you're
2752
02:06:53,580 --> 02:06:59,580
talking around 83 of the color gamut for
2753
02:06:57,060 --> 02:07:02,040
those two very very good
2754
02:06:59,580 --> 02:07:06,300
um overall color gamut coverage for an
2755
02:07:02,040 --> 02:07:08,280
1100 laptop 1150 1150 laptop still very
2756
02:07:06,300 --> 02:07:10,080
good for fourteen hundred dollars but
2757
02:07:08,280 --> 02:07:11,639
not as amazing as some of the deals that
2758
02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:13,980
I talked about earlier like the MSI
2759
02:07:11,639 --> 02:07:15,480
pulse 15 with 100 P3 color gamut
2760
02:07:13,980 --> 02:07:18,440
coverage
2761
02:07:15,480 --> 02:07:22,800
um the brightness interesting
2762
02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:24,480
275 nits brightness on the display so
2763
02:07:22,800 --> 02:07:25,380
we're not quite reaching 300 nits
2764
02:07:24,480 --> 02:07:27,179
brightness that's a little bit
2765
02:07:25,380 --> 02:07:28,440
disappointing I was hoping we would be
2766
02:07:27,179 --> 02:07:30,119
at least be hitting 300 in its
2767
02:07:28,440 --> 02:07:33,420
brightness
2768
02:07:30,119 --> 02:07:36,000
um so yeah this thing not quite as
2769
02:07:33,420 --> 02:07:37,619
bright but very vibrant display and I
2770
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:40,560
gotta tell you like
2771
02:07:37,619 --> 02:07:42,300
when I look at the display it doesn't it
2772
02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:44,040
seems like a 300 nit display brightness
2773
02:07:42,300 --> 02:07:46,139
from about or in at least in that
2774
02:07:44,040 --> 02:07:48,420
ballpark it doesn't seem like it's not
2775
02:07:46,139 --> 02:07:50,159
vibrant enough to enjoy the content
2776
02:07:48,420 --> 02:07:52,380
that's probably the main thing I would
2777
02:07:50,159 --> 02:07:53,820
say about the display obviously if
2778
02:07:52,380 --> 02:07:55,679
you're going to go Outdoors
2779
02:07:53,820 --> 02:07:57,540
uh getting a laptop with a brighter
2780
02:07:55,679 --> 02:08:00,420
display is going to be a lot better so
2781
02:07:57,540 --> 02:08:03,119
definitely uh in terms of if the if this
2782
02:08:00,420 --> 02:08:05,580
laptop had a weakness I would say it is
2783
02:08:03,119 --> 02:08:07,080
uh the laptop display has a weakness I
2784
02:08:05,580 --> 02:08:10,199
would say it is that the brightness is
2785
02:08:07,080 --> 02:08:13,320
not quite as high as I would ideally
2786
02:08:10,199 --> 02:08:15,300
like which I I really prefer if I can if
2787
02:08:13,320 --> 02:08:17,760
I'm buying a laptop I do prefer to get
2788
02:08:15,300 --> 02:08:20,639
like a 400 nits brightness or brighter
2789
02:08:17,760 --> 02:08:22,860
display if possible like if it's going
2790
02:08:20,639 --> 02:08:24,360
to be for me that's my personal
2791
02:08:22,860 --> 02:08:28,139
preference but that obviously costs more
2792
02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:30,360
money so for for the 1400 price point
2793
02:08:28,139 --> 02:08:32,760
this is still a very good display that
2794
02:08:30,360 --> 02:08:35,580
certainly is above average at least in
2795
02:08:32,760 --> 02:08:37,260
the color gamut space compared to a lot
2796
02:08:35,580 --> 02:08:40,139
of the other budget laptops this year
2797
02:08:37,260 --> 02:08:41,639
it's at least competitive to where you
2798
02:08:40,139 --> 02:08:43,380
feel like the display can be used for
2799
02:08:41,639 --> 02:08:46,080
video editing Photoshop stuff like that
2800
02:08:43,380 --> 02:08:47,880
without being awful
2801
02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:49,920
um you know not being like noticeably
2802
02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:53,040
like worse and in terms of gaming and
2803
02:08:49,920 --> 02:08:54,599
enjoying the content that you you get on
2804
02:08:53,040 --> 02:08:56,400
this laptop it's going be really good
2805
02:08:54,599 --> 02:08:59,840
okay let's try to move into our Cinemax
2806
02:08:56,400 --> 02:09:03,560
R23 testing let's do
2807
02:08:59,840 --> 02:09:03,560
uh manual mode
2808
02:09:03,599 --> 02:09:08,880
with maximum
2809
02:09:06,540 --> 02:09:10,980
power limits and fan noise and all of
2810
02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:13,619
that so get ready for the jet engine
2811
02:09:10,980 --> 02:09:15,360
it's going to take off here well only 57
2812
02:09:13,619 --> 02:09:17,699
decibels is not quite jet engine level
2813
02:09:15,360 --> 02:09:20,820
but it's still
2814
02:09:17,699 --> 02:09:23,880
um on the louder side of laptop fan
2815
02:09:20,820 --> 02:09:26,659
Noise Okay so Cinemax R23 let's go ahead
2816
02:09:23,880 --> 02:09:26,659
and open that up
2817
02:09:39,239 --> 02:09:44,040
uh the six gig ram really kneecaps the
2818
02:09:42,060 --> 02:09:46,920
3060 mobile which has great specs decent
2819
02:09:44,040 --> 02:09:48,900
frequency and high qute account yeah uh
2820
02:09:46,920 --> 02:09:51,119
the 360. if you're doing 1080p gaming
2821
02:09:48,900 --> 02:09:53,280
it's still it's still pretty good A six
2822
02:09:51,119 --> 02:09:55,080
gigs a vram but um
2823
02:09:53,280 --> 02:09:57,420
it's yeah eight gigs is definitely
2824
02:09:55,080 --> 02:10:00,360
better at 1080. 12 gigs is definitely a
2825
02:09:57,420 --> 02:10:03,560
more iot and the ideal category
2826
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:03,560
for 1080.
2827
02:10:08,699 --> 02:10:12,840
okay so we're going to do uh above
2828
02:10:10,860 --> 02:10:16,440
normal
2829
02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:18,780
for cinebench R23
2830
02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:21,619
beautiful and let's go ahead and get HW
2831
02:10:18,780 --> 02:10:21,619
info open
2832
02:10:33,119 --> 02:10:38,580
so HW info is a utility tool that's free
2833
02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:42,239
if you want to download it you can use
2834
02:10:38,580 --> 02:10:44,760
this to Monitor and track your systems
2835
02:10:42,239 --> 02:10:46,320
um performance and temperatures and
2836
02:10:44,760 --> 02:10:48,480
clock speeds and all of that and it does
2837
02:10:46,320 --> 02:10:50,460
integrate into the MSI afterburner Riva
2838
02:10:48,480 --> 02:10:52,440
tuner interface
2839
02:10:50,460 --> 02:10:55,020
um which can help you monitor things
2840
02:10:52,440 --> 02:10:56,520
like voltages and whatever thing you're
2841
02:10:55,020 --> 02:10:59,040
trying to monitor
2842
02:10:56,520 --> 02:11:02,880
so today during our testing we're going
2843
02:10:59,040 --> 02:11:06,020
to be looking at our core counts are
2844
02:11:02,880 --> 02:11:09,599
temperatures and our wattages that this
2845
02:11:06,020 --> 02:11:15,060
i-712 700h are going to pull
2846
02:11:09,599 --> 02:11:18,179
and so let's start with a couple of
2847
02:11:15,060 --> 02:11:21,420
standard tests
2848
02:11:18,179 --> 02:11:24,000
and look at our wattages and clock speed
2849
02:11:21,420 --> 02:11:27,960
and all that so right out the gate the P
2850
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:31,199
cores started out at around 4.3 but now
2851
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:36,060
it's doing 4.1 across the P cores our
2852
02:11:31,199 --> 02:11:36,060
e-cores are doing 3.2 3.3
2853
02:11:36,659 --> 02:11:43,500
um those are pretty pretty good
2854
02:11:39,119 --> 02:11:45,960
but not necessarily amazing clock speeds
2855
02:11:43,500 --> 02:11:48,659
you got to keep in mind this is a 12th
2856
02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:51,599
gen CPU right
2857
02:11:48,659 --> 02:11:55,380
very important to keep that in mind
2858
02:11:51,599 --> 02:11:58,380
um all right our CPU package temp is
2859
02:11:55,380 --> 02:12:00,239
hitting thermal throttling at 95 degrees
2860
02:11:58,380 --> 02:12:02,280
when it goes red here that means that
2861
02:12:00,239 --> 02:12:05,780
thermal throttling has been triggered
2862
02:12:02,280 --> 02:12:09,960
now our maximum wattage on the CPU was
2863
02:12:05,780 --> 02:12:12,719
123 Watts which is very very high amount
2864
02:12:09,960 --> 02:12:13,679
of wattage higher than average
2865
02:12:12,719 --> 02:12:15,960
um
2866
02:12:13,679 --> 02:12:17,300
for sure that's higher than average we
2867
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:20,219
got 17
2868
02:12:17,300 --> 02:12:22,619
552 for our first run
2869
02:12:20,219 --> 02:12:26,219
let's run it again
2870
02:12:22,619 --> 02:12:29,159
see what we get for our second run
2871
02:12:26,219 --> 02:12:31,920
we're pulling 114 Watts
2872
02:12:29,159 --> 02:12:33,199
we're maxing out our thermal Temps at 95
2873
02:12:31,920 --> 02:12:36,360
degrees
2874
02:12:33,199 --> 02:12:39,840
we did set the power sliders all the way
2875
02:12:36,360 --> 02:12:42,840
to Max in Armory crate right so if we
2876
02:12:39,840 --> 02:12:44,760
wanted to have better temps on this it's
2877
02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:47,460
really simple we just set our power
2878
02:12:44,760 --> 02:12:50,040
limits down to like 100 Watts or maybe
2879
02:12:47,460 --> 02:12:51,360
90 Watts and we're going to see much
2880
02:12:50,040 --> 02:12:52,980
better temps
2881
02:12:51,360 --> 02:12:54,420
um so if you're after if you if you
2882
02:12:52,980 --> 02:12:56,760
don't if these temperatures scare you
2883
02:12:54,420 --> 02:12:59,400
you can obviously change these temps but
2884
02:12:56,760 --> 02:13:01,920
just simply by reducing the performance
2885
02:12:59,400 --> 02:13:03,179
um of the system which is very easy to
2886
02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:07,440
do
2887
02:13:03,179 --> 02:13:11,460
um that said these these Intel i7 chips
2888
02:13:07,440 --> 02:13:15,480
are designed to go uh for a long long
2889
02:13:11,460 --> 02:13:17,099
time at up to 99 degrees Celsius all the
2890
02:13:15,480 --> 02:13:18,840
time like 100 degrees Celsius is their
2891
02:13:17,099 --> 02:13:22,320
Max thermal throttle temps looks like
2892
02:13:18,840 --> 02:13:25,020
Asus has set it to be 95 in this system
2893
02:13:22,320 --> 02:13:27,300
to throttle at 95.
2894
02:13:25,020 --> 02:13:28,920
um so you're never going to go past 95
2895
02:13:27,300 --> 02:13:30,900
which is going to give you a nice wiggle
2896
02:13:28,920 --> 02:13:35,520
room from the 100 degrees
2897
02:13:30,900 --> 02:13:38,520
now if you are someone that is after the
2898
02:13:35,520 --> 02:13:40,520
most possible CPU performance out there
2899
02:13:38,520 --> 02:13:42,540
then
2900
02:13:40,520 --> 02:13:44,219
this laptop is probably not the laptop
2901
02:13:42,540 --> 02:13:47,280
for you anyway
2902
02:13:44,219 --> 02:13:48,960
um but for the money at 11 49 if if
2903
02:13:47,280 --> 02:13:50,699
you're getting an 1149 this is still
2904
02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:52,860
phenomenal CPU performance for your
2905
02:13:50,699 --> 02:13:54,780
money most other laptops around this
2906
02:13:52,860 --> 02:13:57,119
price point are only going to be doing
2907
02:13:54,780 --> 02:13:59,579
like 14 to 15
2908
02:13:57,119 --> 02:14:04,380
000 on the higher end for CPU
2909
02:13:59,579 --> 02:14:07,260
performance so 17 309 is still excellent
2910
02:14:04,380 --> 02:14:10,079
performance for the money
2911
02:14:07,260 --> 02:14:11,040
um like it's really really good
2912
02:14:10,079 --> 02:14:12,659
um so
2913
02:14:11,040 --> 02:14:14,099
we can we can do some comparison
2914
02:14:12,659 --> 02:14:15,599
shopping there may be some out there
2915
02:14:14,099 --> 02:14:17,940
that are going to be better value for
2916
02:14:15,599 --> 02:14:21,179
the money but the big thing here is that
2917
02:14:17,940 --> 02:14:23,880
you're getting six P cores and eight
2918
02:14:21,179 --> 02:14:26,940
e-cores which is just a lot of cores and
2919
02:14:23,880 --> 02:14:28,380
threads uh for the money and that's
2920
02:14:26,940 --> 02:14:31,440
that's the key here that's going to give
2921
02:14:28,380 --> 02:14:34,619
us a performance boost now it's 12th gen
2922
02:14:31,440 --> 02:14:36,840
last generation technology
2923
02:14:34,619 --> 02:14:39,900
um like I said the underside of the
2924
02:14:36,840 --> 02:14:43,860
chassis really is not designed in my
2925
02:14:39,900 --> 02:14:46,040
opinion to handle the like great airflow
2926
02:14:43,860 --> 02:14:49,079
which is kind of a downside I'm curious
2927
02:14:46,040 --> 02:14:52,320
how this would do if we you know
2928
02:14:49,079 --> 02:14:55,980
switched uh switched it over to like the
2929
02:14:52,320 --> 02:15:00,300
the GT500 cooler it may do a lot better
2930
02:14:55,980 --> 02:15:02,040
16 880 for our fifth run there let's go
2931
02:15:00,300 --> 02:15:04,139
ahead and just give it a moment to cool
2932
02:15:02,040 --> 02:15:07,139
down
2933
02:15:04,139 --> 02:15:09,840
um and then we're going to go ahead and
2934
02:15:07,139 --> 02:15:13,619
just flip into a 10 minute test to give
2935
02:15:09,840 --> 02:15:13,619
us our throttle speed
2936
02:15:13,920 --> 02:15:18,020
dun dun dun 65 degrees
2937
02:15:18,179 --> 02:15:23,000
once it gets down below 50 we'll go
2938
02:15:20,280 --> 02:15:23,000
ahead and start it
2939
02:15:23,940 --> 02:15:27,980
the core temps are 46 right now
2940
02:15:34,440 --> 02:15:39,540
okay so there's 50. let's go ahead and
2941
02:15:36,659 --> 02:15:44,119
start a 10 minute test
2942
02:15:39,540 --> 02:15:44,119
and we'll also reset our stats here
2943
02:15:44,520 --> 02:15:48,659
boom our stats have been reset so now
2944
02:15:46,739 --> 02:15:49,800
we're going to develop new averages and
2945
02:15:48,659 --> 02:15:53,520
new temps
2946
02:15:49,800 --> 02:15:55,739
um and new maximums 118 Watts for our
2947
02:15:53,520 --> 02:15:59,400
Peak so far
2948
02:15:55,739 --> 02:16:02,040
um let's go ahead and do a breakdown
2949
02:15:59,400 --> 02:16:03,840
right now on the other laptops that you
2950
02:16:02,040 --> 02:16:06,119
could potentially buy for CPU
2951
02:16:03,840 --> 02:16:07,800
performance with the focus on like
2952
02:16:06,119 --> 02:16:10,219
getting the most CPU performance for
2953
02:16:07,800 --> 02:16:10,219
your money
2954
02:16:13,920 --> 02:16:22,099
okay so
2955
02:16:16,139 --> 02:16:22,099
um going in to our laptop list again
2956
02:16:23,520 --> 02:16:27,540
right here the Asus tough you know this
2957
02:16:25,980 --> 02:16:29,639
is we estimated that it's going to be
2958
02:16:27,540 --> 02:16:31,739
about 16 000 which we're actually doing
2959
02:16:29,639 --> 02:16:33,000
a little bit more than that we're
2960
02:16:31,739 --> 02:16:34,800
actually doing
2961
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:37,559
um we'll have to see but it was like
2962
02:16:34,800 --> 02:16:39,840
actually doing like 16 000 was it 800 we
2963
02:16:37,559 --> 02:16:41,580
were doing 17 000 for our our initial
2964
02:16:39,840 --> 02:16:44,219
runs but it's gonna Throttle Down to
2965
02:16:41,580 --> 02:16:46,380
probably around 16 days sixteen and a
2966
02:16:44,219 --> 02:16:50,120
half thousand or something so you can
2967
02:16:46,380 --> 02:16:54,439
see our CPU performance per dollar is at
2968
02:16:50,120 --> 02:16:59,460
14.62 which as you can see this beats
2969
02:16:54,439 --> 02:17:01,559
almost all of the other laptops in this
2970
02:16:59,460 --> 02:17:05,040
space except for these really cheap ones
2971
02:17:01,559 --> 02:17:08,820
that are 8.99 so
2972
02:17:05,040 --> 02:17:12,240
um it is very very good CPU performance
2973
02:17:08,820 --> 02:17:15,660
for your money and
2974
02:17:12,240 --> 02:17:18,120
if if this was for priced at 13.99 it
2975
02:17:15,660 --> 02:17:20,700
would just be like pretty good CPU
2976
02:17:18,120 --> 02:17:24,059
performance for your money at 11 11 49
2977
02:17:20,700 --> 02:17:27,240
like the price that it is today
2978
02:17:24,059 --> 02:17:28,880
it's just unbelievable CPU performance
2979
02:17:27,240 --> 02:17:31,859
treatment not unbelievable it's just
2980
02:17:28,880 --> 02:17:33,540
exceptionally good CPU performance for
2981
02:17:31,859 --> 02:17:36,120
your money
2982
02:17:33,540 --> 02:17:37,559
um especially considering that all these
2983
02:17:36,120 --> 02:17:40,800
cores and threads are going to be great
2984
02:17:37,559 --> 02:17:41,639
in Esports games like Warzone
2985
02:17:40,800 --> 02:17:43,019
um
2986
02:17:41,639 --> 02:17:45,719
yeah
2987
02:17:43,019 --> 02:17:47,880
and then for GPU performance we'll have
2988
02:17:45,719 --> 02:17:49,920
to see what we actually get in Times by
2989
02:17:47,880 --> 02:17:52,859
um my guys estimated that it would be 11
2990
02:17:49,920 --> 02:17:54,899
900 for time spy and I wouldn't be
2991
02:17:52,859 --> 02:17:58,500
surprised if we actually bust the 12K
2992
02:17:54,899 --> 02:17:59,939
Mark in time spy for this laptop
2993
02:17:58,500 --> 02:18:02,880
um so it might actually get a little bit
2994
02:17:59,939 --> 02:18:04,620
higher than ten dollars for our
2995
02:18:02,880 --> 02:18:06,300
um performance points per dollar
2996
02:18:04,620 --> 02:18:09,960
basically
2997
02:18:06,300 --> 02:18:12,300
um so which is very very good GPU
2998
02:18:09,960 --> 02:18:14,340
performance for your money okay I'm
2999
02:18:12,300 --> 02:18:15,960
gonna check chat and we'll go ahead and
3000
02:18:14,340 --> 02:18:18,679
go back to our test and I'll try to
3001
02:18:15,960 --> 02:18:18,679
answer any questions
3002
02:18:19,080 --> 02:18:22,219
um Okay so
3003
02:18:23,519 --> 02:18:30,240
a job Christopher Joe Christopher
3004
02:18:27,000 --> 02:18:32,580
salutan says what do you prefer this or
3005
02:18:30,240 --> 02:18:34,439
the Predator Neo 16 if they have the
3006
02:18:32,580 --> 02:18:39,019
same price
3007
02:18:34,439 --> 02:18:39,019
um assuming the same price and specs
3008
02:18:39,599 --> 02:18:45,000
um
3009
02:18:41,639 --> 02:18:48,719
they were very both very good but the
3010
02:18:45,000 --> 02:18:50,880
Neo 16 literally for a 40 50 was costing
3011
02:18:48,719 --> 02:18:55,320
more than what this laptop costs with a
3012
02:18:50,880 --> 02:18:56,760
40 70. and it this had also a better i7
3013
02:18:55,320 --> 02:18:58,679
CPU
3014
02:18:56,760 --> 02:19:02,219
so and this I think this had a better
3015
02:18:58,679 --> 02:19:04,979
display too than the Neo 16. so so yeah
3016
02:19:02,219 --> 02:19:07,380
I would get the tough F-15 between those
3017
02:19:04,979 --> 02:19:09,660
two uh given the current pricings but
3018
02:19:07,380 --> 02:19:12,359
assuming that it's the same 40 70 and
3019
02:19:09,660 --> 02:19:14,700
same processor quality
3020
02:19:12,359 --> 02:19:16,080
um and same price then I would say it's
3021
02:19:14,700 --> 02:19:18,540
up to you
3022
02:19:16,080 --> 02:19:20,399
um because the Neo 16 does have 16 by 10
3023
02:19:18,540 --> 02:19:22,439
aspect ratio display that's an advantage
3024
02:19:20,399 --> 02:19:24,240
there but I don't think you're going to
3025
02:19:22,439 --> 02:19:26,780
see them be the same price anytime soon
3026
02:19:24,240 --> 02:19:29,880
most likely
3027
02:19:26,780 --> 02:19:31,679
says the 12700h is a monster on its own
3028
02:19:29,880 --> 02:19:34,260
yeah it's very good performance
3029
02:19:31,679 --> 02:19:36,780
especially for the money
3030
02:19:34,260 --> 02:19:39,479
12th gen to 13th gen Intel is not even
3031
02:19:36,780 --> 02:19:42,120
worth it that just depends
3032
02:19:39,479 --> 02:19:47,219
I would say that it's a small upgrade
3033
02:19:42,120 --> 02:19:49,260
going from an i7 12700h to an ie7 13700h
3034
02:19:47,219 --> 02:19:52,700
those two are not very big difference
3035
02:19:49,260 --> 02:19:57,899
but you jump up to the I9
3036
02:19:52,700 --> 02:20:00,300
13900hx CPU that upgrade is worth it
3037
02:19:57,899 --> 02:20:04,560
because then you're going from 14 chord
3038
02:20:00,300 --> 02:20:08,100
20 thread up to 24 core 32 thread which
3039
02:20:04,560 --> 02:20:10,080
is just a massive upgrade in terms of
3040
02:20:08,100 --> 02:20:11,640
multi-core performance and potentially
3041
02:20:10,080 --> 02:20:15,060
in certain games we were also seeing
3042
02:20:11,640 --> 02:20:17,880
just phenomenal uh FPS and some CPU
3043
02:20:15,060 --> 02:20:21,479
bound games so so yeah I would say that
3044
02:20:17,880 --> 02:20:24,120
the the I9 HX versions are worth the
3045
02:20:21,479 --> 02:20:25,680
upgrade the H versions not really this
3046
02:20:24,120 --> 02:20:27,359
not really a big difference in
3047
02:20:25,680 --> 02:20:28,920
performance because it has the same
3048
02:20:27,359 --> 02:20:31,740
number of cores and threads it's just
3049
02:20:28,920 --> 02:20:35,700
slightly faster
3050
02:20:31,740 --> 02:20:38,399
um does the 12700h support ddr5 4800
3051
02:20:35,700 --> 02:20:40,560
5600 megahertz Ram
3052
02:20:38,399 --> 02:20:43,580
um I'm not sure off the top of my head
3053
02:20:40,560 --> 02:20:43,580
let's check
3054
02:20:43,620 --> 02:20:49,319
this laptop won't I don't think because
3055
02:20:46,439 --> 02:20:52,620
it comes with ddr4 3200 the motherboard
3056
02:20:49,319 --> 02:20:54,620
is probably not going to be compatible
3057
02:20:52,620 --> 02:20:54,620
um
3058
02:20:55,439 --> 02:21:01,200
but it says up to ddr5 4800 so so yeah
3059
02:20:59,880 --> 02:21:02,700
I'm not sure if that's going to be
3060
02:21:01,200 --> 02:21:04,800
compatible inside the same motherboard
3061
02:21:02,700 --> 02:21:07,920
or not though because this one is set up
3062
02:21:04,800 --> 02:21:12,000
with ddr4 3200 but you you might be able
3063
02:21:07,920 --> 02:21:13,680
to upgrade it to ddr5 4800 depending on
3064
02:21:12,000 --> 02:21:15,780
the motherboard and I'm not sure off the
3065
02:21:13,680 --> 02:21:18,800
top of my head if that's possible
3066
02:21:15,780 --> 02:21:18,800
um great question though
3067
02:21:18,899 --> 02:21:22,800
uh let me show you okay there we go so
3068
02:21:20,880 --> 02:21:26,819
now you can see these are the specs for
3069
02:21:22,800 --> 02:21:29,460
the i7 12700h and you can see it does
3070
02:21:26,819 --> 02:21:31,140
support both of these memory types but
3071
02:21:29,460 --> 02:21:33,899
that's going to be motherboard dependent
3072
02:21:31,140 --> 02:21:36,000
so you're going to want to do a little
3073
02:21:33,899 --> 02:21:37,680
research or you can always buy memory
3074
02:21:36,000 --> 02:21:39,120
and return it if it's not compatible but
3075
02:21:37,680 --> 02:21:41,520
honestly the performance upgrades
3076
02:21:39,120 --> 02:21:42,960
between these two are not going to be
3077
02:21:41,520 --> 02:21:44,880
massive
3078
02:21:42,960 --> 02:21:49,740
um especially since the ram that this
3079
02:21:44,880 --> 02:21:53,460
came with was dual rank ddr4 3200 memory
3080
02:21:49,740 --> 02:21:57,240
so it's going to be faster ddr4 3200 as
3081
02:21:53,460 --> 02:22:00,899
far as that memory speed goes so I would
3082
02:21:57,240 --> 02:22:03,780
say it's not a high priority for upgrade
3083
02:22:00,899 --> 02:22:05,700
um Newfound drone production says I just
3084
02:22:03,780 --> 02:22:08,700
bought the MSI Katana 15 for you 60 16
3085
02:22:05,700 --> 02:22:10,080
gigs of ram ddr5 ram will this run VR
3086
02:22:08,700 --> 02:22:12,479
effectively
3087
02:22:10,080 --> 02:22:14,580
oh and it's an i7 yeah so that that
3088
02:22:12,479 --> 02:22:18,479
Katana with a 4060 yeah it's going to
3089
02:22:14,580 --> 02:22:21,300
run VR for like say a Quest 2 pretty
3090
02:22:18,479 --> 02:22:24,180
dang well in most VR games but more
3091
02:22:21,300 --> 02:22:26,399
challenging VR games are gonna struggle
3092
02:22:24,180 --> 02:22:28,020
especially if you're trying to Max the
3093
02:22:26,399 --> 02:22:29,100
frame rate and resolution at the same
3094
02:22:28,020 --> 02:22:30,540
time
3095
02:22:29,100 --> 02:22:31,979
um because it's only got eight gigs of
3096
02:22:30,540 --> 02:22:33,840
vram that's going to be a limiting
3097
02:22:31,979 --> 02:22:35,700
factor because VR is very high
3098
02:22:33,840 --> 02:22:38,580
resolution
3099
02:22:35,700 --> 02:22:40,560
um and uh and just certain VR games are
3100
02:22:38,580 --> 02:22:41,939
very CPU demanding
3101
02:22:40,560 --> 02:22:45,859
um and GPU demanding it just depends on
3102
02:22:41,939 --> 02:22:48,660
the game but most Quest 2 resolutions
3103
02:22:45,859 --> 02:22:50,700
are not super high it's only like 2 000
3104
02:22:48,660 --> 02:22:51,840
by 2000 resolution or a little over so
3105
02:22:50,700 --> 02:22:53,520
it depends on how high you want to push
3106
02:22:51,840 --> 02:22:56,340
that native resolution but if you tune
3107
02:22:53,520 --> 02:22:58,859
if you tune the resolution in steamvr
3108
02:22:56,340 --> 02:23:01,500
correctly
3109
02:22:58,859 --> 02:23:04,620
um you should be able to play a lot of
3110
02:23:01,500 --> 02:23:07,140
VR games no problem at all with that uh
3111
02:23:04,620 --> 02:23:08,819
I would say probably 95 of VR games are
3112
02:23:07,140 --> 02:23:12,540
going to run incredibly well with that
3113
02:23:08,819 --> 02:23:14,520
laptop with the quest to resolution but
3114
02:23:12,540 --> 02:23:16,260
uh
3115
02:23:14,520 --> 02:23:18,300
there are like those five percent of
3116
02:23:16,260 --> 02:23:19,920
games like Elite dangerous is probably
3117
02:23:18,300 --> 02:23:22,200
going to struggle unless you tweak the
3118
02:23:19,920 --> 02:23:22,800
settings down a lot
3119
02:23:22,200 --> 02:23:25,260
um
3120
02:23:22,800 --> 02:23:27,540
yeah it just depends
3121
02:23:25,260 --> 02:23:28,620
uh you have the Pico neo4 gotcha yeah
3122
02:23:27,540 --> 02:23:31,380
that one's a little bit higher
3123
02:23:28,620 --> 02:23:35,160
resolution than the quest too so uh yeah
3124
02:23:31,380 --> 02:23:36,300
the Pico the Pico four is uh it's gonna
3125
02:23:35,160 --> 02:23:37,500
be a little bit more challenging in the
3126
02:23:36,300 --> 02:23:38,939
quest too you have to you definitely
3127
02:23:37,500 --> 02:23:40,800
have to fiddle with some settings to get
3128
02:23:38,939 --> 02:23:42,000
the VR to run smoothly with the katana
3129
02:23:40,800 --> 02:23:43,380
15.
3130
02:23:42,000 --> 02:23:44,939
um but most of the games should run
3131
02:23:43,380 --> 02:23:47,720
pretty well
3132
02:23:44,939 --> 02:23:47,720
um if I were to guess
3133
02:23:48,780 --> 02:23:51,200
um okay
3134
02:23:55,520 --> 02:24:01,580
okay time to wait for 14th gen CPUs with
3135
02:23:59,340 --> 02:24:04,200
5000 series gpus
3136
02:24:01,580 --> 02:24:06,000
I mean it's if you've got a great system
3137
02:24:04,200 --> 02:24:08,460
already right now there's you know
3138
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:09,780
there's no reason to upgrade really if
3139
02:24:08,460 --> 02:24:11,880
you already have a great system that
3140
02:24:09,780 --> 02:24:12,960
plays great frame rates in all the games
3141
02:24:11,880 --> 02:24:15,000
you want to play
3142
02:24:12,960 --> 02:24:16,439
that's the key that I always tell people
3143
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:17,760
when you're looking for a new system
3144
02:24:16,439 --> 02:24:19,680
like
3145
02:24:17,760 --> 02:24:21,000
are you able to play the games you want
3146
02:24:19,680 --> 02:24:21,660
to play at the frame rates you want to
3147
02:24:21,000 --> 02:24:25,020
play
3148
02:24:21,660 --> 02:24:26,819
if you can then don't upgrade you know
3149
02:24:25,020 --> 02:24:28,979
like there's no point
3150
02:24:26,819 --> 02:24:30,899
um if you want to like say to go to QHD
3151
02:24:28,979 --> 02:24:32,640
resolution though or like use an
3152
02:24:30,899 --> 02:24:36,420
external monitor like the one behind me
3153
02:24:32,640 --> 02:24:38,100
or uh you want to play 4K or uh you want
3154
02:24:36,420 --> 02:24:40,500
to play at higher frame rates in higher
3155
02:24:38,100 --> 02:24:41,939
settings that's when upgrading can be
3156
02:24:40,500 --> 02:24:43,620
super worth it and that's when it can be
3157
02:24:41,939 --> 02:24:45,240
really rewarding
3158
02:24:43,620 --> 02:24:47,220
um going to those higher frames
3159
02:24:45,240 --> 02:24:49,439
especially with the 4000 series with the
3160
02:24:47,220 --> 02:24:52,439
frame generation it's a really big
3161
02:24:49,439 --> 02:24:56,540
noticeable upgrade to smoothness in
3162
02:24:52,439 --> 02:24:56,540
those latest AAA titles in particular
3163
02:25:01,620 --> 02:25:06,000
is frame gen compatible with g-sync
3164
02:25:03,720 --> 02:25:09,240
though I believe it is
3165
02:25:06,000 --> 02:25:11,520
I'm pretty sure it is those animated
3166
02:25:09,240 --> 02:25:14,359
frames are going to sync coming out with
3167
02:25:11,520 --> 02:25:14,359
g-sync so
3168
02:25:14,399 --> 02:25:18,660
stardom says I'm pretty satisfied with
3169
02:25:16,260 --> 02:25:23,220
the 3070 mobile and 5800
3170
02:25:18,660 --> 02:25:25,560
is it but the 5800h is a gimped CPU uh
3171
02:25:23,220 --> 02:25:26,819
yeah in certain titles that 1500h is
3172
02:25:25,560 --> 02:25:28,380
really not going to put out very high
3173
02:25:26,819 --> 02:25:29,220
frame rates
3174
02:25:28,380 --> 02:25:30,660
um
3175
02:25:29,220 --> 02:25:33,060
yeah
3176
02:25:30,660 --> 02:25:35,160
okay so we're almost done with our
3177
02:25:33,060 --> 02:25:38,580
Cinemax R23 10 minute run
3178
02:25:35,160 --> 02:25:41,460
we are averaging 83 degrees on the CPU
3179
02:25:38,580 --> 02:25:44,460
core temp 91 degrees for the CPU package
3180
02:25:41,460 --> 02:25:47,939
so we were not thermal throttling at 91
3181
02:25:44,460 --> 02:25:50,100
watts of power on average that's a good
3182
02:25:47,939 --> 02:25:52,140
amount of power that's above average
3183
02:25:50,100 --> 02:25:55,560
amount of power going through that CPU
3184
02:25:52,140 --> 02:26:00,120
I'm impressed overall four point uh
3185
02:25:55,560 --> 02:26:01,800
sorry 3.8 gigahertz for the P cores 2.9
3186
02:26:00,120 --> 02:26:03,300
gigahertz on the e-cores I wish the
3187
02:26:01,800 --> 02:26:05,280
clock speed was a little higher if you
3188
02:26:03,300 --> 02:26:07,500
can undervolt this guy you definitely
3189
02:26:05,280 --> 02:26:10,740
could get a lot more CPU performance out
3190
02:26:07,500 --> 02:26:12,899
of here and in addition I believe if you
3191
02:26:10,740 --> 02:26:14,899
were to use a laptop cooler you'd
3192
02:26:12,899 --> 02:26:19,859
probably be able to get even better
3193
02:26:14,899 --> 02:26:21,359
performance out of this CPU because we
3194
02:26:19,859 --> 02:26:23,040
basically were thermal throttling here
3195
02:26:21,359 --> 02:26:24,420
and there which was causing our power
3196
02:26:23,040 --> 02:26:26,760
limits to drop
3197
02:26:24,420 --> 02:26:29,359
so yeah we'd probably be able to bust a
3198
02:26:26,760 --> 02:26:33,720
17 000 Mark we got 16
3199
02:26:29,359 --> 02:26:35,819
939 for our Cinemax R23 score which is
3200
02:26:33,720 --> 02:26:39,420
better than what we estimated actually
3201
02:26:35,819 --> 02:26:41,640
on our laptop sheet list so let's go
3202
02:26:39,420 --> 02:26:46,740
ahead and pop over to here and get this
3203
02:26:41,640 --> 02:26:46,740
value updated 16 939
3204
02:26:47,040 --> 02:26:51,780
is our actuals
3205
02:26:50,100 --> 02:26:53,640
um
3206
02:26:51,780 --> 02:26:55,740
and I don't have the link here we'll
3207
02:26:53,640 --> 02:26:59,880
have to add the link later
3208
02:26:55,740 --> 02:27:03,300
okay so very impressive performance for
3209
02:26:59,880 --> 02:27:05,819
a CPU for a 12th gen CPU this is tuned
3210
02:27:03,300 --> 02:27:07,319
pretty well it's not perfect it's not
3211
02:27:05,819 --> 02:27:09,960
perfect I wish we could go a little
3212
02:27:07,319 --> 02:27:13,080
higher on our power limits
3213
02:27:09,960 --> 02:27:16,020
um but this laptop you know it is
3214
02:27:13,080 --> 02:27:19,979
this laptop is a fairly portable system
3215
02:27:16,020 --> 02:27:21,540
right it is not very thick uh and beefy
3216
02:27:19,979 --> 02:27:24,240
it's just a little bit thicker than like
3217
02:27:21,540 --> 02:27:27,720
a zephyrus laptop a little thinner than
3218
02:27:24,240 --> 02:27:30,060
the strix series honestly so I I'm
3219
02:27:27,720 --> 02:27:33,600
overall very impressed with this
3220
02:27:30,060 --> 02:27:34,680
laptop's performance for its size
3221
02:27:33,600 --> 02:27:36,899
um
3222
02:27:34,680 --> 02:27:39,420
in the CPU category okay it's time to
3223
02:27:36,899 --> 02:27:42,840
run time spy and see what kind of
3224
02:27:39,420 --> 02:27:47,060
performance we get
3225
02:27:42,840 --> 02:27:47,060
with this RTX 4070
3226
02:27:49,439 --> 02:27:54,979
all right let's go ahead and get steam
3227
02:27:51,960 --> 02:27:54,979
opened again
3228
02:27:56,580 --> 02:28:05,540
and uh we can go ahead and put this here
3229
02:28:01,979 --> 02:28:05,540
slide this down here
3230
02:28:08,580 --> 02:28:12,319
I want to put this right here
3231
02:28:21,899 --> 02:28:27,240
all right so we're going to run a 3D
3232
02:28:24,180 --> 02:28:32,160
Mark time spy
3233
02:28:27,240 --> 02:28:34,740
which is a graphical synthetic GPU test
3234
02:28:32,160 --> 02:28:37,439
that gives us a ballpark of raw GPU
3235
02:28:34,740 --> 02:28:40,500
potential performance obviously it's not
3236
02:28:37,439 --> 02:28:42,420
going to be a perfect indicator of GPU
3237
02:28:40,500 --> 02:28:44,520
performance but it's pretty good pretty
3238
02:28:42,420 --> 02:28:47,819
good indicator for raw GPU performance
3239
02:28:44,520 --> 02:28:50,819
when the game is GPU Bound in particular
3240
02:28:47,819 --> 02:28:54,359
but of course games can be CPU bound or
3241
02:28:50,819 --> 02:28:56,280
memory bound or vram limited so there
3242
02:28:54,359 --> 02:28:57,720
there this is not a perfect indicator of
3243
02:28:56,280 --> 02:29:00,899
performance just a good General
3244
02:28:57,720 --> 02:29:03,120
guideline when you're comparing laptops
3245
02:29:00,899 --> 02:29:06,200
Thunder one says how come you got way
3246
02:29:03,120 --> 02:29:09,240
higher score than me I've only gotten 14
3247
02:29:06,200 --> 02:29:11,280
635. my recommendation is to go to
3248
02:29:09,240 --> 02:29:13,740
Armory crate slap it into manual mode
3249
02:29:11,280 --> 02:29:15,960
and raise your power limits up that's
3250
02:29:13,740 --> 02:29:17,280
that's the first thing I do also make
3251
02:29:15,960 --> 02:29:20,160
sure you're fully updated on your
3252
02:29:17,280 --> 02:29:21,420
drivers and bios
3253
02:29:20,160 --> 02:29:23,580
um
3254
02:29:21,420 --> 02:29:25,800
okay
3255
02:29:23,580 --> 02:29:28,280
we are ready let's go ahead and uh run
3256
02:29:25,800 --> 02:29:28,280
this guy
3257
02:29:44,760 --> 02:29:50,359
all right I'm gonna let my uh dogs out
3258
02:29:47,040 --> 02:29:50,359
real quick I'll be right back
3259
02:31:40,800 --> 02:31:46,680
okay looks like we've done our first
3260
02:31:43,260 --> 02:31:49,580
test successfully let's see how we doing
3261
02:31:46,680 --> 02:31:49,580
on our second test
3262
02:31:50,120 --> 02:31:54,979
23.55 for our GPU clock
3263
02:31:57,780 --> 02:32:05,399
over 110 watts to the GPU there our
3264
02:32:01,740 --> 02:32:08,899
temps are excellent 61 degrees 69 as
3265
02:32:05,399 --> 02:32:08,899
expected with manual fan mode
3266
02:32:10,500 --> 02:32:13,560
um
3267
02:32:11,160 --> 02:32:16,380
Maniac Matt says so for the price would
3268
02:32:13,560 --> 02:32:18,300
this be better or the Alienware m17 R5
3269
02:32:16,380 --> 02:32:22,020
with the 69
3270
02:32:18,300 --> 02:32:27,600
100h in the Radeon RX 6850 MXT that was
3271
02:32:22,020 --> 02:32:27,600
on sale for 11.99 so for 11.49
3272
02:32:28,800 --> 02:32:31,580
um
3273
02:32:29,580 --> 02:32:34,500
I'd say this is a little better value
3274
02:32:31,580 --> 02:32:36,600
than that Alienware
3275
02:32:34,500 --> 02:32:39,420
um because this has frame generation and
3276
02:32:36,600 --> 02:32:40,859
this has a better CPU
3277
02:32:39,420 --> 02:32:43,740
um
3278
02:32:40,859 --> 02:32:46,260
the right the but the Alienware also has
3279
02:32:43,740 --> 02:32:47,520
a 360 Hertz full HD display you didn't
3280
02:32:46,260 --> 02:32:48,720
mention that but that's an important
3281
02:32:47,520 --> 02:32:49,979
factor
3282
02:32:48,720 --> 02:32:51,840
um it's a higher refresh rate display
3283
02:32:49,979 --> 02:32:54,359
the Alienware is also a lot bigger
3284
02:32:51,840 --> 02:32:56,460
laptop it's going to weigh like two
3285
02:32:54,359 --> 02:32:59,160
pounds more than this and it's a 17 inch
3286
02:32:56,460 --> 02:33:01,260
display there's a big difference
3287
02:32:59,160 --> 02:33:04,979
um I would say both laptops are very
3288
02:33:01,260 --> 02:33:07,380
good definitely different niches
3289
02:33:04,979 --> 02:33:09,240
um of laptop
3290
02:33:07,380 --> 02:33:11,040
I have not reviewed the Alienware m17
3291
02:33:09,240 --> 02:33:13,920
though but just on specs the Alienware
3292
02:33:11,040 --> 02:33:15,540
m17 is very competitive with this but if
3293
02:33:13,920 --> 02:33:17,520
it was my money I would definitely be
3294
02:33:15,540 --> 02:33:20,460
buying this one
3295
02:33:17,520 --> 02:33:23,700
if I can get it for 11.49
3296
02:33:20,460 --> 02:33:25,260
the 13.99 price point the Alienware
3297
02:33:23,700 --> 02:33:26,520
could be more attractive for a lot of
3298
02:33:25,260 --> 02:33:28,920
people though
3299
02:33:26,520 --> 02:33:30,000
um but at 13.99 it's kind of a toss-up I
3300
02:33:28,920 --> 02:33:32,220
would say
3301
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:34,080
between the two but if if this if you
3302
02:33:32,220 --> 02:33:35,000
can get this for 11.49 it's definitely
3303
02:33:34,080 --> 02:33:39,720
better
3304
02:33:35,000 --> 02:33:39,720
uh oh 12 197.
3305
02:33:39,979 --> 02:33:46,500
thirteen thousand and twenty one for our
3306
02:33:42,840 --> 02:33:49,200
CPU score very good scores we busted the
3307
02:33:46,500 --> 02:33:52,560
12K Mark and this is without applying
3308
02:33:49,200 --> 02:33:56,160
any kind of uh bigger overclock to the
3309
02:33:52,560 --> 02:33:59,040
GPU I'm pretty sure we could bust 12 500
3310
02:33:56,160 --> 02:34:00,420
if we applied an overclock and optimized
3311
02:33:59,040 --> 02:34:03,420
this guy
3312
02:34:00,420 --> 02:34:06,420
yeah very impressive I I mean
3313
02:34:03,420 --> 02:34:09,180
yeah even at 13.99 I think this laptop
3314
02:34:06,420 --> 02:34:10,560
is very good
3315
02:34:09,180 --> 02:34:13,140
um
3316
02:34:10,560 --> 02:34:16,920
yeah very good like this is just it's so
3317
02:34:13,140 --> 02:34:20,819
much value at 11 at 11 49 this thing is
3318
02:34:16,920 --> 02:34:22,800
awesome highly recommend it uh for the
3319
02:34:20,819 --> 02:34:25,979
at least the raw synthetic test let's
3320
02:34:22,800 --> 02:34:26,700
get into some actual gameplay huh
3321
02:34:25,979 --> 02:34:28,740
um
3322
02:34:26,700 --> 02:34:32,220
let's see how it does so we're ready to
3323
02:34:28,740 --> 02:34:34,740
start out with Apex Legends
3324
02:34:32,220 --> 02:34:37,260
I believe
3325
02:34:34,740 --> 02:34:39,540
we've done everything up here so we've
3326
02:34:37,260 --> 02:34:40,800
already done all of these items and
3327
02:34:39,540 --> 02:34:44,479
we're ready to move on to our game
3328
02:34:40,800 --> 02:34:44,479
testing so Apex Legends is first
3329
02:34:51,260 --> 02:34:54,979
all right
3330
02:34:58,319 --> 02:35:00,500
foreign
3331
02:35:02,580 --> 02:35:09,620
I just want to disable Xbox game bar
3332
02:35:06,540 --> 02:35:09,620
cool okay
3333
02:35:10,220 --> 02:35:13,939
Sean if you're watching this
3334
02:35:16,620 --> 02:35:22,280
I hear a doodle
3335
02:35:18,960 --> 02:35:22,280
my doggy is looking at me
3336
02:35:29,460 --> 02:35:36,000
yes are you gonna be a star on this live
3337
02:35:32,640 --> 02:35:38,640
stream yes you are
3338
02:35:36,000 --> 02:35:42,140
this is hero boo boo
3339
02:35:38,640 --> 02:35:42,140
he is my baby boo
3340
02:35:42,180 --> 02:35:50,540
um I love this little doggy
3341
02:35:45,680 --> 02:35:50,540
yes okay so we're getting uh
3342
02:35:51,120 --> 02:35:56,220
I'll switch the camera back
3343
02:35:53,819 --> 02:35:59,520
yeah are you awkward because you are
3344
02:35:56,220 --> 02:36:01,700
you're awkward uh-huh
3345
02:35:59,520 --> 02:36:01,700
um
3346
02:36:03,960 --> 02:36:09,180
hop into a firing range
3347
02:36:06,660 --> 02:36:13,800
match to start with
3348
02:36:09,180 --> 02:36:14,700
[Music]
3349
02:36:13,800 --> 02:36:16,680
go
3350
02:36:14,700 --> 02:36:20,880
[Music]
3351
02:36:16,680 --> 02:36:25,520
okay so uh we
3352
02:36:20,880 --> 02:36:25,520
are currently with high default settings
3353
02:36:28,260 --> 02:36:32,300
looks like we need to change a bunch of
3354
02:36:29,819 --> 02:36:32,300
settings here
3355
02:36:34,740 --> 02:36:39,080
gameplay Auto Sprint enabled
3356
02:36:42,300 --> 02:36:45,380
there we go
3357
02:36:50,340 --> 02:36:52,939
okay
3358
02:36:55,319 --> 02:37:01,760
and we gotta go to afterburner I forgot
3359
02:36:58,020 --> 02:37:01,760
to set up the Benchmark hotkeys
3360
02:37:08,060 --> 02:37:12,780
looks like I should probably make the uh
3361
02:37:10,680 --> 02:37:16,580
afterburner image
3362
02:37:12,780 --> 02:37:16,580
overlay a little smaller now
3363
02:37:19,920 --> 02:37:25,220
okay that's pretty good
3364
02:37:22,500 --> 02:37:25,220
all right
3365
02:37:25,740 --> 02:37:31,319
wow everything is so smooth oh my God oh
3366
02:37:29,520 --> 02:37:32,640
my gosh
3367
02:37:31,319 --> 02:37:34,800
like
3368
02:37:32,640 --> 02:37:38,180
this is how you're meant to play Apex
3369
02:37:34,800 --> 02:37:38,180
Legends it is awesome
3370
02:37:42,899 --> 02:37:46,220
even on high settings
3371
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:51,359
you know like that's the thing even on
3372
02:37:49,680 --> 02:37:54,240
high settings right now
3373
02:37:51,359 --> 02:37:57,060
we are like cranking the frame rate it's
3374
02:37:54,240 --> 02:37:58,680
hitting the Max uh almost the max one
3375
02:37:57,060 --> 02:38:00,359
percent low is almost hitting our Max
3376
02:37:58,680 --> 02:38:04,020
frame rate which means we're basically
3377
02:38:00,359 --> 02:38:06,840
filling almost every single possible uh
3378
02:38:04,020 --> 02:38:10,920
screen refresh rate frame at least here
3379
02:38:06,840 --> 02:38:12,780
in the in the shooting range
3380
02:38:10,920 --> 02:38:14,520
and this is on high settings let's go
3381
02:38:12,780 --> 02:38:16,819
ahead and swap it over to the low
3382
02:38:14,520 --> 02:38:16,819
settings
3383
02:38:29,460 --> 02:38:34,979
all right so this is low settings
3384
02:38:33,060 --> 02:38:37,620
the maximum frame rate for this game is
3385
02:38:34,979 --> 02:38:39,979
300 FPS and we're basically hitting it
3386
02:38:37,620 --> 02:38:39,979
right now
3387
02:38:40,620 --> 02:38:45,359
so yeah we're hitting Max frame rate in
3388
02:38:42,840 --> 02:38:48,060
Apex Legends like the game artificially
3389
02:38:45,359 --> 02:38:50,220
limits it to 300 FPS even if you have a
3390
02:38:48,060 --> 02:38:52,800
480 Hertz display you can't even use it
3391
02:38:50,220 --> 02:38:55,560
in this game which is so dumb but um
3392
02:38:52,800 --> 02:38:59,160
yeah so this thing is awesome
3393
02:38:55,560 --> 02:39:02,359
uh let's go back to lobby and find out
3394
02:38:59,160 --> 02:39:02,359
if we can get into a match
3395
02:39:05,640 --> 02:39:10,620
okay
3396
02:39:07,620 --> 02:39:10,620
uh
3397
02:39:14,819 --> 02:39:20,880
Chung says I want to get the top 2023 if
3398
02:39:17,640 --> 02:39:24,300
I only have the ryzen 7940 HS option
3399
02:39:20,880 --> 02:39:24,960
should I wait for the i7 13700h option
3400
02:39:24,300 --> 02:39:27,240
um
3401
02:39:24,960 --> 02:39:29,819
no you don't have to Chung like it's
3402
02:39:27,240 --> 02:39:34,380
fine you could go for uh you can go for
3403
02:39:29,819 --> 02:39:35,160
that CPU that CPU is a good CPU still
3404
02:39:34,380 --> 02:39:37,979
um
3405
02:39:35,160 --> 02:39:39,840
like you'll get better battery life with
3406
02:39:37,979 --> 02:39:43,500
the ryzen chip compared to the Intel one
3407
02:39:39,840 --> 02:39:46,620
anyway Mars says awesome app top
3408
02:39:43,500 --> 02:39:49,560
uh address buddy is so cute gamer doggo
3409
02:39:46,620 --> 02:39:50,819
yes he's a little gamer doggo he will uh
3410
02:39:49,560 --> 02:39:51,960
sometimes when I'm gaming he'll
3411
02:39:50,819 --> 02:39:54,180
literally just cuddle me the whole time
3412
02:39:51,960 --> 02:39:57,740
I'm gaming like if I'm sitting on the
3413
02:39:54,180 --> 02:39:57,740
couch and he's just next to me
3414
02:40:02,939 --> 02:40:07,500
Adamas wants to know if I can control uh
3415
02:40:05,280 --> 02:40:10,640
show the Nvidia control panel I missed
3416
02:40:07,500 --> 02:40:10,640
that request earlier let's hear
3417
02:40:13,080 --> 02:40:17,420
here is the Nvidia control panel
3418
02:40:18,720 --> 02:40:21,800
so there it is
3419
02:40:22,920 --> 02:40:27,600
we are in GPU ultimate mode so it does
3420
02:40:25,260 --> 02:40:29,399
not give us an option to switch the GPU
3421
02:40:27,600 --> 02:40:31,200
in here
3422
02:40:29,399 --> 02:40:33,680
um but yeah you can see g-sync is
3423
02:40:31,200 --> 02:40:33,680
enabled
3424
02:40:33,840 --> 02:40:37,100
and those are the settings
3425
02:40:42,300 --> 02:40:47,520
you can see it's theoretically the max
3426
02:40:43,859 --> 02:40:49,500
is 140 Watts on this 4070 but it's never
3427
02:40:47,520 --> 02:40:52,880
going to actually pull that typically
3428
02:40:49,500 --> 02:40:52,880
and in a gaming load
3429
02:40:58,680 --> 02:41:02,100
all right I'm gonna turn the volume up
3430
02:41:00,060 --> 02:41:03,899
and we're gonna try playing uh for a
3431
02:41:02,100 --> 02:41:05,819
couple minutes
3432
02:41:03,899 --> 02:41:09,420
and I'm gonna listen to the audio
3433
02:41:05,819 --> 02:41:11,580
also Dolby access
3434
02:41:09,420 --> 02:41:14,040
has a setting in here I wanted to try
3435
02:41:11,580 --> 02:41:16,439
out it's called game mode which
3436
02:41:14,040 --> 02:41:18,479
distincts
3437
02:41:16,439 --> 02:41:21,240
distinct sound placement makes it easier
3438
02:41:18,479 --> 02:41:23,420
to locate sounds at Angles let's try it
3439
02:41:21,240 --> 02:41:23,420
out
3440
02:41:32,900 --> 02:41:38,780
[Music]
3441
02:41:34,920 --> 02:41:38,780
okay so here we are
3442
02:41:47,700 --> 02:41:50,899
for landing shots
3443
02:41:52,880 --> 02:41:56,030
[Applause]
3444
02:41:57,479 --> 02:42:01,040
dang we didn't quite get the kill
3445
02:42:02,819 --> 02:42:06,439
we're doing crazy damage though
3446
02:42:21,540 --> 02:42:24,380
foreign
3447
02:42:35,720 --> 02:42:40,520
pretty well with this laptop I'm
3448
02:42:37,979 --> 02:42:40,520
surprised
3449
02:42:48,720 --> 02:42:53,000
I'm gonna try to go help my teammate
3450
02:42:50,640 --> 02:42:53,000
over here
3451
02:42:57,180 --> 02:43:02,300
okay we got a kill yeah after all that
3452
02:42:59,700 --> 02:43:05,700
damage we finally got one kill
3453
02:43:02,300 --> 02:43:08,479
476 damage one kill this is
3454
02:43:05,700 --> 02:43:08,479
travesty
3455
02:43:08,939 --> 02:43:13,160
guess that's what I get for using a
3456
02:43:10,920 --> 02:43:13,160
scout
3457
02:43:19,500 --> 02:43:23,580
but yeah this is uh this screen has no
3458
02:43:21,600 --> 02:43:26,580
ghosting everything is super smooth
3459
02:43:23,580 --> 02:43:26,580
fluid
3460
02:43:27,000 --> 02:43:32,780
um very responsive feeling I feel like I
3461
02:43:29,399 --> 02:43:32,780
can aim really really well
3462
02:43:34,020 --> 02:43:36,260
foreign
3463
02:43:37,439 --> 02:43:43,340
like
3464
02:43:39,840 --> 02:43:43,340
three more shots on that guy
3465
02:43:47,399 --> 02:43:50,899
yeah take that
3466
02:43:51,140 --> 02:43:54,740
it's a redneck
3467
02:43:59,399 --> 02:44:03,140
oh yeah now we're murdering people
3468
02:44:11,040 --> 02:44:15,660
like for me as an apex Legends player
3469
02:44:13,140 --> 02:44:18,300
this is like so much more fun than a
3470
02:44:15,660 --> 02:44:20,220
laptop that has a ghosting 60 hertz or
3471
02:44:18,300 --> 02:44:22,500
like a 144 Hertz even that has got a
3472
02:44:20,220 --> 02:44:24,359
ghosting on it
3473
02:44:22,500 --> 02:44:26,460
um the census thing has such a faster
3474
02:44:24,359 --> 02:44:28,920
sponsor a g-sync fast you know
3475
02:44:26,460 --> 02:44:31,140
everything is good here
3476
02:44:28,920 --> 02:44:32,280
okay I can't really complain the only
3477
02:44:31,140 --> 02:44:36,500
thing that would make this better is if
3478
02:44:32,280 --> 02:44:36,500
it was a 240 hertz display instead of
3479
02:44:43,380 --> 02:44:50,000
foreign
3480
02:44:45,960 --> 02:44:50,000
keeps throwing grenades at me like crazy
3481
02:44:53,280 --> 02:44:59,160
oh I had to reload reload
3482
02:44:56,640 --> 02:45:01,439
ah I got there right there's a shoot him
3483
02:44:59,160 --> 02:45:03,300
and I had to reload right before
3484
02:45:01,439 --> 02:45:04,260
uh okay all right last life and then
3485
02:45:03,300 --> 02:45:06,479
we're gonna move on to the next game I'm
3486
02:45:04,260 --> 02:45:09,500
leading my team in damage by a large
3487
02:45:06,479 --> 02:45:09,500
margin by the way
3488
02:45:12,540 --> 02:45:15,540
here
3489
02:45:21,960 --> 02:45:24,020
thanks
3490
02:45:37,560 --> 02:45:42,260
a recharge this is the enemy
3491
02:45:53,590 --> 02:45:58,439
[Music]
3492
02:45:56,100 --> 02:46:00,859
oh my gosh we're just murdering people
3493
02:45:58,439 --> 02:46:00,859
today
3494
02:46:01,859 --> 02:46:04,399
okay
3495
02:46:04,620 --> 02:46:08,359
I'm having too much fun right now
3496
02:46:32,819 --> 02:46:38,000
and then the Scout is my weapon so at
3497
02:46:34,859 --> 02:46:38,000
least I could use the scout
3498
02:46:43,979 --> 02:46:48,300
all right all right all right very fun
3499
02:46:46,080 --> 02:46:50,520
that was great I really enjoyed playing
3500
02:46:48,300 --> 02:46:53,939
at Banks letters on this laptop
3501
02:46:50,520 --> 02:46:56,340
a plus plus it's only 144 Hertz response
3502
02:46:53,939 --> 02:46:57,840
rate but still the performance
3503
02:46:56,340 --> 02:46:59,040
was awesome
3504
02:46:57,840 --> 02:47:01,439
okay
3505
02:46:59,040 --> 02:47:03,720
uh iand off says I'll watch this whole
3506
02:47:01,439 --> 02:47:04,500
video when I get home awesome thanks so
3507
02:47:03,720 --> 02:47:07,140
much
3508
02:47:04,500 --> 02:47:09,660
uh okay LSP says can't go back to 60
3509
02:47:07,140 --> 02:47:12,720
hertz after using a 120 hertz phone and
3510
02:47:09,660 --> 02:47:14,520
the laptop's now 240 hertz yeah it's
3511
02:47:12,720 --> 02:47:15,840
it's really hard for me to go back to 60
3512
02:47:14,520 --> 02:47:16,859
hertz
3513
02:47:15,840 --> 02:47:20,160
um
3514
02:47:16,859 --> 02:47:21,420
everything just looks so like janky you
3515
02:47:20,160 --> 02:47:23,760
know I don't know like I used to play at
3516
02:47:21,420 --> 02:47:26,700
60 hertz all the time and then I tried
3517
02:47:23,760 --> 02:47:29,460
144 and I went what this is so much
3518
02:47:26,700 --> 02:47:31,020
better holy crap
3519
02:47:29,460 --> 02:47:32,280
um and then I tried 240 and I was like
3520
02:47:31,020 --> 02:47:36,120
yeah this is still even a little bit
3521
02:47:32,280 --> 02:47:38,100
better uh but 144 Hertz is the big is
3522
02:47:36,120 --> 02:47:42,020
the big gap I think
3523
02:47:38,100 --> 02:47:42,020
or at least getting to 120
3524
02:47:43,920 --> 02:47:47,899
if you're at least a 120 then it's good
3525
02:47:53,640 --> 02:47:58,640
okay so uh shaders are optimizing up
3526
02:47:56,460 --> 02:47:58,640
here
3527
02:48:04,140 --> 02:48:09,800
I kind of want to let them finish
3528
02:48:05,939 --> 02:48:09,800
optimizing let's see how long this takes
3529
02:48:10,020 --> 02:48:15,300
um
3530
02:48:11,220 --> 02:48:18,240
chat how's it going uh me get does it
3531
02:48:15,300 --> 02:48:20,100
have g-sync yes it does I just showed
3532
02:48:18,240 --> 02:48:22,859
you guys uh the Nvidia control panel but
3533
02:48:20,100 --> 02:48:25,500
there's also a g-stink g-sync sticker
3534
02:48:22,859 --> 02:48:27,300
over here if you're
3535
02:48:25,500 --> 02:48:29,460
if you want to see it
3536
02:48:27,300 --> 02:48:31,859
um but uh but yeah in the video control
3537
02:48:29,460 --> 02:48:34,380
panel it does show that it has g-sync
3538
02:48:31,859 --> 02:48:36,479
that said I I mean g-sync
3539
02:48:34,380 --> 02:48:39,060
g-sync is helpful especially when you're
3540
02:48:36,479 --> 02:48:40,140
doing lower FPS gaming
3541
02:48:39,060 --> 02:48:41,880
um
3542
02:48:40,140 --> 02:48:44,040
but I don't think it's going to be very
3543
02:48:41,880 --> 02:48:45,420
applicable
3544
02:48:44,040 --> 02:48:47,280
for
3545
02:48:45,420 --> 02:48:49,260
um
3546
02:48:47,280 --> 02:48:50,640
so like a lot of the higher FPS gaming I
3547
02:48:49,260 --> 02:48:51,899
can't really tell if she thinks on or
3548
02:48:50,640 --> 02:48:53,939
not
3549
02:48:51,899 --> 02:48:55,979
uh Brett Burke how many how many hours
3550
02:48:53,939 --> 02:48:57,840
on battery should this last on light
3551
02:48:55,979 --> 02:49:00,960
surfing this laptop is really impressive
3552
02:48:57,840 --> 02:49:03,600
might send the g16 back to Amazon
3553
02:49:00,960 --> 02:49:05,819
um yeah so I would say
3554
02:49:03,600 --> 02:49:08,160
it's hard to know exactly it's going to
3555
02:49:05,819 --> 02:49:09,960
really depend on how you optimize it
3556
02:49:08,160 --> 02:49:11,819
but I would say it's likely you're going
3557
02:49:09,960 --> 02:49:15,300
to be able to get eight plus hours of
3558
02:49:11,819 --> 02:49:16,979
light surfing if you're really optimized
3559
02:49:15,300 --> 02:49:20,160
um and you're you're making sure like
3560
02:49:16,979 --> 02:49:22,740
the Nvidia GPU does not tick on at all
3561
02:49:20,160 --> 02:49:25,020
and you're using a power efficient
3562
02:49:22,740 --> 02:49:27,680
Internet Explorer that's the other key
3563
02:49:25,020 --> 02:49:27,680
that you must have
3564
02:49:28,319 --> 02:49:33,540
um but yeah I'm expecting like
3565
02:49:30,780 --> 02:49:36,660
six to eight hours six being like less
3566
02:49:33,540 --> 02:49:38,760
optimized use eight eight plus hours if
3567
02:49:36,660 --> 02:49:40,620
you're very optimized
3568
02:49:38,760 --> 02:49:42,060
um where if you're super optimized you
3569
02:49:40,620 --> 02:49:44,640
might be able to push it over 10 because
3570
02:49:42,060 --> 02:49:45,300
it is a 90 watt hour battery
3571
02:49:44,640 --> 02:49:46,979
um
3572
02:49:45,300 --> 02:49:48,600
and especially if you get the ryzen
3573
02:49:46,979 --> 02:49:50,100
version but the Intel version I'm
3574
02:49:48,600 --> 02:49:51,960
expecting more like eight the ryzen
3575
02:49:50,100 --> 02:49:55,380
version could probably go over 10.
3576
02:49:51,960 --> 02:49:57,120
uh is the frame rate locked to 144 uh
3577
02:49:55,380 --> 02:49:59,520
known in Apex Legends we had it raised
3578
02:49:57,120 --> 02:50:02,280
to higher than 144. I don't think we're
3579
02:49:59,520 --> 02:50:06,960
going to hit over 144 here in war zone
3580
02:50:02,280 --> 02:50:08,460
2. shaders now are at 19 percent
3581
02:50:06,960 --> 02:50:11,220
so we're just waiting for the shaders to
3582
02:50:08,460 --> 02:50:13,140
finish before we get into the match
3583
02:50:11,220 --> 02:50:14,880
it does seem to help improve performance
3584
02:50:13,140 --> 02:50:16,380
slightly I did let the shaders run
3585
02:50:14,880 --> 02:50:18,540
earlier today
3586
02:50:16,380 --> 02:50:20,939
I don't know why like I went in here and
3587
02:50:18,540 --> 02:50:22,920
waited uh until they were done
3588
02:50:20,939 --> 02:50:25,399
and then now it's it's needing to be
3589
02:50:22,920 --> 02:50:25,399
redone again
3590
02:50:25,439 --> 02:50:30,300
um Brett says gotcha thanks I like the
3591
02:50:27,840 --> 02:50:32,580
channel a lot lots of good info yeah man
3592
02:50:30,300 --> 02:50:35,280
my goal is uh as a reviewers to be as
3593
02:50:32,580 --> 02:50:37,380
helpful as possible
3594
02:50:35,280 --> 02:50:38,760
to uh to everyone out there
3595
02:50:37,380 --> 02:50:41,160
when especially when you're making tough
3596
02:50:38,760 --> 02:50:44,760
choices with a you know a high value
3597
02:50:41,160 --> 02:50:47,100
dollar item like this Brett with the
3598
02:50:44,760 --> 02:50:48,600
five dollar Super Chat thanks so much I
3599
02:50:47,100 --> 02:50:51,319
appreciate your support it really does
3600
02:50:48,600 --> 02:50:51,319
mean a lot to me
3601
02:50:51,620 --> 02:50:57,120
does this one have liquid metal on the
3602
02:50:53,939 --> 02:50:59,660
CPU from the factory or not that's a
3603
02:50:57,120 --> 02:50:59,660
great question
3604
02:51:00,899 --> 02:51:05,600
um
3605
02:51:01,859 --> 02:51:05,600
you know it doesn't say
3606
02:51:06,180 --> 02:51:10,500
on the on the laptop itself it does not
3607
02:51:09,240 --> 02:51:14,760
say
3608
02:51:10,500 --> 02:51:14,760
according to Asus
3609
02:51:18,060 --> 02:51:22,500
right here is their advertisement if it
3610
02:51:20,580 --> 02:51:23,280
has liquid metal they're gonna say it on
3611
02:51:22,500 --> 02:51:26,939
here
3612
02:51:23,280 --> 02:51:28,800
it probably does not if
3613
02:51:26,939 --> 02:51:30,780
if in the thermal section it doesn't
3614
02:51:28,800 --> 02:51:34,399
advertise it then it it would just be
3615
02:51:30,780 --> 02:51:34,399
normal CPU paste of some kind
3616
02:51:42,060 --> 02:51:49,140
yeah uh given the fact that they're not
3617
02:51:46,920 --> 02:51:50,399
saying that it has it it almost for sure
3618
02:51:49,140 --> 02:51:52,500
does not
3619
02:51:50,399 --> 02:51:54,000
it's going to be normal CPU based so you
3620
02:51:52,500 --> 02:51:55,560
might be able to get some significant
3621
02:51:54,000 --> 02:51:57,240
performance
3622
02:51:55,560 --> 02:52:01,520
um again so we're done with our Shader
3623
02:51:57,240 --> 02:52:01,520
optimization let's go into battle royale
3624
02:52:07,859 --> 02:52:13,580
all right and uh Battle Royale solos is
3625
02:52:11,160 --> 02:52:13,580
what we want
3626
02:52:17,340 --> 02:52:21,359
I did check the settings earlier but I
3627
02:52:20,340 --> 02:52:24,859
should probably go ahead and double
3628
02:52:21,359 --> 02:52:24,859
check that the settings are still good
3629
02:52:25,140 --> 02:52:30,000
full screen exclusive 144 Hertz
3630
02:52:28,380 --> 02:52:32,399
yeah everything set to everything
3631
02:52:30,000 --> 02:52:36,740
everything set to minimum dlss is on
3632
02:52:32,399 --> 02:52:36,740
quality and textures are set to high
3633
02:52:39,899 --> 02:52:46,319
My Hope Is that we can get at least
3634
02:52:44,399 --> 02:52:48,420
90 FPS
3635
02:52:46,319 --> 02:52:50,760
all across the bridge if we're doing at
3636
02:52:48,420 --> 02:52:52,080
least 90 FPS then I would say that we're
3637
02:52:50,760 --> 02:52:55,380
getting our money's worth out of this
3638
02:52:52,080 --> 02:52:57,540
laptop especially at 1149 price point
3639
02:52:55,380 --> 02:52:59,399
um if it goes over 100 FPS then that
3640
02:52:57,540 --> 02:53:01,520
would be very impressive across the
3641
02:52:59,399 --> 02:53:01,520
bridge
3642
02:53:07,439 --> 02:53:10,620
Chong says thanks for all the videos and
3643
02:53:09,060 --> 02:53:13,979
reviewing these laptops words are not
3644
02:53:10,620 --> 02:53:16,620
enough to express my appreciation oh
3645
02:53:13,979 --> 02:53:18,899
I yeah I brought a smile to my face to
3646
02:53:16,620 --> 02:53:20,520
comment thanks so much uh Eric says does
3647
02:53:18,899 --> 02:53:21,720
thermal paste make much difference I
3648
02:53:20,520 --> 02:53:24,479
thought it would only be a few degrees
3649
02:53:21,720 --> 02:53:27,840
Yeah like a good normal thermal paste
3650
02:53:24,479 --> 02:53:30,479
versus say a liquid metal application
3651
02:53:27,840 --> 02:53:33,300
um usually is in the 8 to 10 degree
3652
02:53:30,479 --> 02:53:35,340
range if it's like a good thermal paste
3653
02:53:33,300 --> 02:53:39,420
and a good liquid metal
3654
02:53:35,340 --> 02:53:41,160
so it's it's not a huge difference but
3655
02:53:39,420 --> 02:53:42,300
like you know imagine like our GPU
3656
02:53:41,160 --> 02:53:45,120
attempts that we were getting CPU
3657
02:53:42,300 --> 02:53:46,859
attempts were like 73.
3658
02:53:45,120 --> 02:53:49,859
with liquid metal those might have been
3659
02:53:46,859 --> 02:53:52,080
65. so if you were to do your own liquid
3660
02:53:49,859 --> 02:53:54,899
metal application on this I would expect
3661
02:53:52,080 --> 02:53:57,660
like around an eight degree drop in
3662
02:53:54,899 --> 02:53:58,979
Temps probably maybe a little less maybe
3663
02:53:57,660 --> 02:54:01,080
a little more
3664
02:53:58,979 --> 02:54:02,460
uh maybe five degrees I don't know it
3665
02:54:01,080 --> 02:54:04,140
depends
3666
02:54:02,460 --> 02:54:05,760
it also depends on what kind of thermal
3667
02:54:04,140 --> 02:54:08,899
paste they use because some of them are
3668
02:54:05,760 --> 02:54:08,899
better and worse quality
3669
02:54:24,060 --> 02:54:26,840
all right
3670
02:54:27,000 --> 02:54:29,899
so
3671
02:54:30,540 --> 02:54:35,340
we are obviously in a very populated
3672
02:54:33,240 --> 02:54:37,439
center of a City right now
3673
02:54:35,340 --> 02:54:39,600
everyone's dropping in it's definitely a
3674
02:54:37,439 --> 02:54:41,399
little a little bit stuttery I'm gonna
3675
02:54:39,600 --> 02:54:45,180
be honest
3676
02:54:41,399 --> 02:54:47,840
now everything's loaded in looks like
3677
02:54:45,180 --> 02:54:50,880
we're getting 76
3678
02:54:47,840 --> 02:54:55,460
37 for our one percent lows
3679
02:54:50,880 --> 02:54:55,460
okay now nine now back to 35.
3680
02:55:05,279 --> 02:55:09,260
goodness it's hard to finish this guy
3681
02:55:07,080 --> 02:55:09,260
off
3682
02:55:12,300 --> 02:55:14,939
kept hitting him hit him like seven
3683
02:55:13,560 --> 02:55:17,160
times
3684
02:55:14,939 --> 02:55:20,279
does this allow undervolting usually the
3685
02:55:17,160 --> 02:55:21,600
H CPUs do not allow undervolting
3686
02:55:20,279 --> 02:55:25,080
um
3687
02:55:21,600 --> 02:55:27,180
so as far as I know no but maybe in
3688
02:55:25,080 --> 02:55:29,779
certain situations I don't know
3689
02:55:27,180 --> 02:55:29,779
we'll see
3690
02:55:38,460 --> 02:55:42,840
Baka I'm not sure what you meant there
3691
02:55:41,279 --> 02:55:45,859
whoa
3692
02:55:42,840 --> 02:55:45,859
what is this
3693
02:55:45,899 --> 02:55:50,640
this is a different map than what we
3694
02:55:48,120 --> 02:55:54,080
were doing before
3695
02:55:50,640 --> 02:55:54,080
so yeah
3696
02:55:54,420 --> 02:56:00,779
you need to know that this is not the
3697
02:55:57,899 --> 02:56:03,500
same map Let's uh find an area we can
3698
02:56:00,779 --> 02:56:03,500
run down
3699
02:56:09,240 --> 02:56:14,720
I'm pretty sure we did uh Battle Royale
3700
02:56:11,760 --> 02:56:14,720
solos right
3701
02:56:18,840 --> 02:56:23,460
this is what the uh this is what our um
3702
02:56:22,140 --> 02:56:24,899
our friend at the beginning of the live
3703
02:56:23,460 --> 02:56:26,160
stream was talking about with the war
3704
02:56:24,899 --> 02:56:27,899
zone update
3705
02:56:26,160 --> 02:56:29,880
I'm guessing this area of the map is
3706
02:56:27,899 --> 02:56:31,740
going to be extra hard to run compared
3707
02:56:29,880 --> 02:56:33,060
to standard normal
3708
02:56:31,740 --> 02:56:35,220
so just know that you can't really
3709
02:56:33,060 --> 02:56:38,939
compare this level of performance in fps
3710
02:56:35,220 --> 02:56:41,660
versus uh you know with
3711
02:56:38,939 --> 02:56:41,660
the other
3712
02:56:46,740 --> 02:56:50,880
okay this guy had a fully automatic gun
3713
02:56:49,080 --> 02:56:51,899
and I almost beat him in a freaking
3714
02:56:50,880 --> 02:56:53,520
shoot off
3715
02:56:51,899 --> 02:56:56,479
made him retreat
3716
02:56:53,520 --> 02:56:56,479
all right we're running
3717
02:56:58,200 --> 02:57:03,439
we're on a race to see if we can get a
3718
02:57:00,060 --> 02:57:03,439
good gun before we get killed
3719
02:57:08,520 --> 02:57:13,080
doing 81 FPS 43 for our one percent low
3720
02:57:11,220 --> 02:57:14,520
this is still very playable honestly
3721
02:57:13,080 --> 02:57:17,040
like
3722
02:57:14,520 --> 02:57:19,080
very good performance notice that we are
3723
02:57:17,040 --> 02:57:21,240
not GP event we're only doing 32 watts
3724
02:57:19,080 --> 02:57:23,340
through the GPU it's so CPU bound it's
3725
02:57:21,240 --> 02:57:24,660
ridiculous right now
3726
02:57:23,340 --> 02:57:26,520
um if you want more FPS in this game
3727
02:57:24,660 --> 02:57:29,359
right now you really need a better CPU
3728
02:57:26,520 --> 02:57:29,359
not a GPU
3729
02:57:36,960 --> 02:57:43,160
uh I found a gun
3730
02:57:39,300 --> 02:57:43,160
wow it was so hard to find this gun
3731
02:57:53,939 --> 02:57:58,340
let's see if we can go find this guy
3732
02:57:55,380 --> 02:57:58,340
that tried killing us
3733
02:57:59,220 --> 02:58:02,120
there's a guy right there
3734
02:58:14,640 --> 02:58:18,020
where did he go
3735
02:58:19,040 --> 02:58:22,279
oh where
3736
02:58:22,680 --> 02:58:28,200
there he is I found him
3737
02:58:26,399 --> 02:58:30,260
okay
3738
02:58:28,200 --> 02:58:30,260
um
3739
02:58:33,420 --> 02:58:40,640
let's see if we can win our um
3740
02:58:36,420 --> 02:58:40,640
see if we can win our our Gulag battle
3741
02:58:45,859 --> 02:58:50,960
okay I'm refreshing the FPS here in the
3742
02:58:48,600 --> 02:58:50,960
gulag
3743
02:58:53,279 --> 02:58:56,819
it's really low one percent lows we're
3744
02:58:55,560 --> 02:58:58,080
getting a bit of a stutter I don't know
3745
02:58:56,819 --> 02:59:00,120
why
3746
02:58:58,080 --> 02:59:02,899
maybe our vram is running out that's
3747
02:59:00,120 --> 02:59:02,899
probably what's going on
3748
02:59:03,840 --> 02:59:09,140
probably we're at 7.5 gigs of vram usage
3749
02:59:06,779 --> 02:59:13,819
we probably got to drop our vram
3750
02:59:09,140 --> 02:59:13,819
uh or drop our textures from high
3751
02:59:22,920 --> 02:59:26,120
we won our fight
3752
02:59:31,270 --> 02:59:34,349
[Music]
3753
02:59:43,800 --> 02:59:50,060
wow all right so our FPS is pretty
3754
02:59:47,340 --> 02:59:50,060
struggling
3755
03:00:06,000 --> 03:00:09,000
haha
3756
03:00:24,840 --> 03:00:29,040
okay so I mean this is a good example of
3757
03:00:27,359 --> 03:00:32,000
the new gameplay see if we can kill this
3758
03:00:29,040 --> 03:00:32,000
guy and then we'll uh
3759
03:00:35,279 --> 03:00:39,920
and then we'll call it see if we can
3760
03:00:37,260 --> 03:00:39,920
find this guy again
3761
03:00:49,979 --> 03:00:52,880
where'd this guy go
3762
03:01:05,880 --> 03:01:09,979
there's a rogue soup in my AO
3763
03:01:12,899 --> 03:01:18,359
okay so I'm not sure exactly but I gotta
3764
03:01:15,120 --> 03:01:20,520
say this is not oh
3765
03:01:18,359 --> 03:01:24,240
this is definitely not an ideal gaming
3766
03:01:20,520 --> 03:01:25,200
performance in Warzone 3 uh war zone two
3767
03:01:24,240 --> 03:01:28,859
um
3768
03:01:25,200 --> 03:01:31,200
61 FPS 36 for one percent lows I'm
3769
03:01:28,859 --> 03:01:34,260
pretty sure we would get more FPS if we
3770
03:01:31,200 --> 03:01:38,819
had like a more powerful 13th gen Intel
3771
03:01:34,260 --> 03:01:41,160
or ryzen 7000 series CPU
3772
03:01:38,819 --> 03:01:43,260
but that's a new map I don't know what's
3773
03:01:41,160 --> 03:01:44,580
going on with Warzone right now so
3774
03:01:43,260 --> 03:01:46,680
that'll be the best test we have for
3775
03:01:44,580 --> 03:01:47,819
Warzone 2 right now
3776
03:01:46,680 --> 03:01:49,380
um
3777
03:01:47,819 --> 03:01:51,479
the FPS went down when you turned the
3778
03:01:49,380 --> 03:01:53,100
textures down weird I don't know that's
3779
03:01:51,479 --> 03:01:54,600
really weird
3780
03:01:53,100 --> 03:01:55,920
um stardom says your GPU is not even
3781
03:01:54,600 --> 03:01:59,580
close to being utilized what's going on
3782
03:01:55,920 --> 03:02:01,560
the CPU it's it's a war zone 2 is
3783
03:01:59,580 --> 03:02:03,300
extremely CPU bound especially when
3784
03:02:01,560 --> 03:02:06,240
there's lots of buildings and complex
3785
03:02:03,300 --> 03:02:10,620
stuff in the area lots of players around
3786
03:02:06,240 --> 03:02:13,439
that's why so we're on to CS go right
3787
03:02:10,620 --> 03:02:15,899
here we're on to the Cs go but um yeah
3788
03:02:13,439 --> 03:02:17,819
Warzone 2 had a big update today someone
3789
03:02:15,899 --> 03:02:20,040
earlier in chat was talking about how it
3790
03:02:17,819 --> 03:02:22,020
really negatively infected war zone 2
3791
03:02:20,040 --> 03:02:24,120
performance almost all laptops and
3792
03:02:22,020 --> 03:02:25,680
stuffers are affected so we'll have to
3793
03:02:24,120 --> 03:02:27,300
actually do some testing with some other
3794
03:02:25,680 --> 03:02:30,180
laptops to see what kind of performance
3795
03:02:27,300 --> 03:02:32,040
we get with these other machines before
3796
03:02:30,180 --> 03:02:33,720
we can really evaluate and say this is
3797
03:02:32,040 --> 03:02:35,399
good or bad because the next patch with
3798
03:02:33,720 --> 03:02:37,260
war zone 2 May optimize things to be a
3799
03:02:35,399 --> 03:02:38,700
lot better
3800
03:02:37,260 --> 03:02:41,220
um
3801
03:02:38,700 --> 03:02:43,260
I know Warzone 2 there is a setting in
3802
03:02:41,220 --> 03:02:45,720
the game ini files where you can tell it
3803
03:02:43,260 --> 03:02:47,640
how many cores to use for multi-core
3804
03:02:45,720 --> 03:02:49,140
rendering and if that setting is not
3805
03:02:47,640 --> 03:02:50,819
correct it can really negatively affect
3806
03:02:49,140 --> 03:02:51,960
performance
3807
03:02:50,819 --> 03:02:53,100
um of course we're trying to do default
3808
03:02:51,960 --> 03:02:54,540
settings this is what most people are
3809
03:02:53,100 --> 03:02:56,460
going to be using but there may be a way
3810
03:02:54,540 --> 03:02:59,160
to optimize the performance
3811
03:02:56,460 --> 03:03:01,200
changing that setting
3812
03:02:59,160 --> 03:03:02,520
hard to say
3813
03:03:01,200 --> 03:03:04,740
so
3814
03:03:02,520 --> 03:03:06,960
how do it says 12 700h is a good enough
3815
03:03:04,740 --> 03:03:10,260
for war zone I guess it was that game's
3816
03:03:06,960 --> 03:03:10,260
fault probably
3817
03:03:10,560 --> 03:03:15,779
um if I were to troubleshoot war zone 2
3818
03:03:12,720 --> 03:03:17,340
I'd probably first try to make sure the
3819
03:03:15,779 --> 03:03:20,819
right amount of cores are being used in
3820
03:03:17,340 --> 03:03:23,640
war zone 2. because it should perform
3821
03:03:20,819 --> 03:03:26,880
better than 60.
3822
03:03:23,640 --> 03:03:28,500
at least based on previous laptops I
3823
03:03:26,880 --> 03:03:31,439
have tested you know in some areas we
3824
03:03:28,500 --> 03:03:32,520
were doing 80 something right so it
3825
03:03:31,439 --> 03:03:34,140
might also just depend on the area
3826
03:03:32,520 --> 03:03:36,720
you're in in the game because that was
3827
03:03:34,140 --> 03:03:39,260
like a new map area
3828
03:03:36,720 --> 03:03:39,260
okay
3829
03:03:51,479 --> 03:03:56,580
but yeah I would normally expect uh
3830
03:03:53,760 --> 03:04:00,359
based on past laptops I've tested I
3831
03:03:56,580 --> 03:04:02,880
would I would expect in closer to 90 FPS
3832
03:04:00,359 --> 03:04:06,800
um in war zone two
3833
03:04:02,880 --> 03:04:06,800
at least where we've test normally
3834
03:04:12,000 --> 03:04:15,600
you thought that desktop you thought the
3835
03:04:14,160 --> 03:04:17,640
desktop was causing the fan noise no I
3836
03:04:15,600 --> 03:04:19,140
just got fans on Max right now you don't
3837
03:04:17,640 --> 03:04:21,000
really need to have fans on Max with
3838
03:04:19,140 --> 03:04:22,560
this laptop but that's what we're doing
3839
03:04:21,000 --> 03:04:23,580
for right now
3840
03:04:22,560 --> 03:04:25,200
um so
3841
03:04:23,580 --> 03:04:28,620
CS go
3842
03:04:25,200 --> 03:04:33,120
400 to 500 FPS right now with this i7
3843
03:04:28,620 --> 03:04:35,880
12700 H CPU RTX 4070
3844
03:04:33,120 --> 03:04:37,620
absolutely killing this game doing a
3845
03:04:35,880 --> 03:04:39,859
great job pushing out frame High frame
3846
03:04:37,620 --> 03:04:39,859
rates
3847
03:04:45,479 --> 03:04:50,460
Baca says war zone 2 might also have
3848
03:04:48,479 --> 03:04:51,779
gotten pushed onto the e-cores that
3849
03:04:50,460 --> 03:04:52,979
would be interesting if that had
3850
03:04:51,779 --> 03:04:54,899
happened
3851
03:04:52,979 --> 03:04:57,859
and pretty weird
3852
03:04:54,899 --> 03:04:57,859
if it happened too
3853
03:04:58,500 --> 03:05:04,220
interesting it's I it seems like I'm
3854
03:05:00,660 --> 03:05:04,220
dropping frames right now
3855
03:05:06,899 --> 03:05:11,700
I I wonder it's around the same time as
3856
03:05:10,140 --> 03:05:13,800
before
3857
03:05:11,700 --> 03:05:15,420
I wonder if my internet might start
3858
03:05:13,800 --> 03:05:18,120
struggling right now when everyone's
3859
03:05:15,420 --> 03:05:19,500
getting home from work at 8pm I might
3860
03:05:18,120 --> 03:05:21,120
have to do my live streams earlier in
3861
03:05:19,500 --> 03:05:23,160
the day
3862
03:05:21,120 --> 03:05:24,359
interesting because it's two two times
3863
03:05:23,160 --> 03:05:26,520
in a row where the live stream was
3864
03:05:24,359 --> 03:05:29,600
perfect and then around the same time it
3865
03:05:26,520 --> 03:05:29,600
started messing up so
3866
03:05:31,020 --> 03:05:34,920
and there's nothing I can do to fix it
3867
03:05:32,580 --> 03:05:36,979
I'm pretty sure
3868
03:05:34,920 --> 03:05:36,979
um
3869
03:05:37,920 --> 03:05:42,420
so bear with me if it starts stuttering
3870
03:05:40,080 --> 03:05:45,300
there will be a
3871
03:05:42,420 --> 03:05:46,920
um non-stuttering VOD put up because I'm
3872
03:05:45,300 --> 03:05:50,100
doing I am locally recording this
3873
03:05:46,920 --> 03:05:51,540
gameplay and everything as well
3874
03:05:50,100 --> 03:05:53,279
can you do cyberpunk we are doing
3875
03:05:51,540 --> 03:05:55,640
cyberpunk very soon I think it's one of
3876
03:05:53,279 --> 03:05:55,640
the next games
3877
03:05:55,859 --> 03:05:59,880
uh 90 FPS inside the smoke oh yeah I
3878
03:05:58,380 --> 03:06:01,920
usually check the FPS inside the smoke I
3879
03:05:59,880 --> 03:06:05,939
was a little distracted there looking at
3880
03:06:01,920 --> 03:06:08,399
my stream quality dropping some frames
3881
03:06:05,939 --> 03:06:12,800
400
3882
03:06:08,399 --> 03:06:12,800
and 8 FPS
3883
03:06:13,460 --> 03:06:19,620
408.62 FPS a very good CS Go performance
3884
03:06:18,120 --> 03:06:21,899
and
3885
03:06:19,620 --> 03:06:25,020
um Adams was saying around 90 FPS in the
3886
03:06:21,899 --> 03:06:27,600
Smoke which is also very good so I
3887
03:06:25,020 --> 03:06:29,580
believe cyberpunk 2077 is our next game
3888
03:06:27,600 --> 03:06:32,580
actually it's God of War but
3889
03:06:29,580 --> 03:06:36,979
uh let's do God of War
3890
03:06:32,580 --> 03:06:36,979
burst and then cyberpunk 2077
3891
03:07:00,779 --> 03:07:04,020
what about fortnite I'm not doing
3892
03:07:02,340 --> 03:07:05,640
fortnite anymore at least for right now
3893
03:07:04,020 --> 03:07:07,500
takes too long to install and set up
3894
03:07:05,640 --> 03:07:09,920
because you have to require epic games
3895
03:07:07,500 --> 03:07:09,920
and
3896
03:07:10,200 --> 03:07:13,939
just try to optimize my workflow
3897
03:07:17,640 --> 03:07:24,080
perfect setting set to ultra display is
3898
03:07:21,660 --> 03:07:28,580
set to
3899
03:07:24,080 --> 03:07:28,580
1920x1080 quality dlss
3900
03:07:37,439 --> 03:07:42,120
do I test Dota 2 dude this laptop with
3901
03:07:39,779 --> 03:07:46,020
Crush Dota 2 Dota 2 will run just fine
3902
03:07:42,120 --> 03:07:47,760
at like a lot of FPS like in the
3903
03:07:46,020 --> 03:07:49,859
hundreds probably over a hundred for
3904
03:07:47,760 --> 03:07:52,080
sure so
3905
03:07:49,859 --> 03:07:54,359
um yeah like probably over 200 most
3906
03:07:52,080 --> 03:07:58,700
likely okay
3907
03:07:54,359 --> 03:08:03,899
okay here we are God of War Ultra 1080p
3908
03:07:58,700 --> 03:08:06,060
74 FPS so far 39.1 lows 80 degrees on
3909
03:08:03,899 --> 03:08:09,420
the CPU a little bit spicy on the CPU
3910
03:08:06,060 --> 03:08:10,859
temp but uh still overall very good temp
3911
03:08:09,420 --> 03:08:12,600
so I'm curious to see if it eventually
3912
03:08:10,859 --> 03:08:14,880
spikes over 90 if we were to stay in the
3913
03:08:12,600 --> 03:08:16,140
game for a few minutes
3914
03:08:14,880 --> 03:08:18,779
um
3915
03:08:16,140 --> 03:08:19,859
okay so 79 FPS 43 for our one percent
3916
03:08:18,779 --> 03:08:22,859
low
3917
03:08:19,859 --> 03:08:24,840
um a 40 50 getting around 55 FPS in this
3918
03:08:22,859 --> 03:08:28,260
exact same test
3919
03:08:24,840 --> 03:08:30,540
um 40 60 getting like in the 60s
3920
03:08:28,260 --> 03:08:32,580
79 is a pretty big jump and this is
3921
03:08:30,540 --> 03:08:36,300
performing really really well
3922
03:08:32,580 --> 03:08:39,420
79 70 degrees on the GPU
3923
03:08:36,300 --> 03:08:43,580
mid 80s on the CPU
3924
03:08:39,420 --> 03:08:43,580
overall very good for God of War
3925
03:08:45,359 --> 03:08:50,160
it's going to be hard to complain this
3926
03:08:47,460 --> 03:08:52,080
is going to be just really good gameplay
3927
03:08:50,160 --> 03:08:56,359
um and a very enjoyable experience all
3928
03:08:52,080 --> 03:08:56,359
right let's move into cyberpunk 2077
3929
03:09:03,540 --> 03:09:09,660
uh do I test do maternal I do not test
3930
03:09:06,540 --> 03:09:12,840
do maternal currently uh but I did buy
3931
03:09:09,660 --> 03:09:14,160
it so I I I'm tempted to add it to my
3932
03:09:12,840 --> 03:09:16,760
testing
3933
03:09:14,160 --> 03:09:16,760
um regiment
3934
03:09:25,740 --> 03:09:32,220
do you recommend the Rog g16 4060 with
3935
03:09:28,439 --> 03:09:33,600
an i7 13650h Leo I do recommend it if
3936
03:09:32,220 --> 03:09:35,100
you can get it at the right price like
3937
03:09:33,600 --> 03:09:37,500
it was on sale a little while ago I
3938
03:09:35,100 --> 03:09:41,340
think it might be on sale right now
3939
03:09:37,500 --> 03:09:43,620
um as well if it's on sale uh
3940
03:09:41,340 --> 03:09:46,700
like twelve hundred dollars is excellent
3941
03:09:43,620 --> 03:09:50,399
like the insane price if it's under 1200
3942
03:09:46,700 --> 03:09:54,180
1300 is pretty dang good price the full
3943
03:09:50,399 --> 03:09:57,180
14 50 or whatever base retail price is
3944
03:09:54,180 --> 03:09:58,319
not an amazing price but it's okay
3945
03:09:57,180 --> 03:09:59,220
um probably better to wait for it to be
3946
03:09:58,319 --> 03:10:02,100
on sale
3947
03:09:59,220 --> 03:10:04,439
uh for the strix g16 40 16.
3948
03:10:02,100 --> 03:10:05,819
but uh compared to this if you can buy
3949
03:10:04,439 --> 03:10:08,939
this one it's on sale like this is a
3950
03:10:05,819 --> 03:10:11,640
better deal so yeah
3951
03:10:08,939 --> 03:10:14,399
um but the strix has better
3952
03:10:11,640 --> 03:10:16,500
uh
3953
03:10:14,399 --> 03:10:18,380
the strix has better
3954
03:10:16,500 --> 03:10:20,580
overall
3955
03:10:18,380 --> 03:10:21,720
RGB implementation is a little more
3956
03:10:20,580 --> 03:10:24,300
premium in some ways like better
3957
03:10:21,720 --> 03:10:25,859
speakers as well
3958
03:10:24,300 --> 03:10:27,540
and I feel like a little better cooling
3959
03:10:25,859 --> 03:10:29,040
on the strix too because as liquid metal
3960
03:10:27,540 --> 03:10:31,260
and a third fan
3961
03:10:29,040 --> 03:10:32,520
so depends on what you want
3962
03:10:31,260 --> 03:10:34,500
okay
3963
03:10:32,520 --> 03:10:37,080
um
3964
03:10:34,500 --> 03:10:40,380
we are ready
3965
03:10:37,080 --> 03:10:42,960
we go ahead and run this benchmark
3966
03:10:40,380 --> 03:10:47,180
I need to feed my doggos because it's uh
3967
03:10:42,960 --> 03:10:47,180
their dinner time so we'll be right back
3968
03:11:16,979 --> 03:11:19,520
all right
3969
03:11:23,700 --> 03:11:25,939
foreign
3970
03:11:39,540 --> 03:11:44,220
I just pressed the Benchmark button a
3971
03:11:42,060 --> 03:11:46,800
little bit late but looks like our CPU
3972
03:11:44,220 --> 03:11:50,460
temp's a bit spicy at 90 degrees 94
3973
03:11:46,800 --> 03:11:52,380
degrees 80 90 watts to the CPU though
3974
03:11:50,460 --> 03:11:54,240
that's very high amount of CPU
3975
03:11:52,380 --> 03:11:56,700
utilization
3976
03:11:54,240 --> 03:11:59,460
um so I mean this is a game where your
3977
03:11:56,700 --> 03:12:04,340
temps are only going so high because the
3978
03:11:59,460 --> 03:12:04,340
power limit is set so high for that CPU
3979
03:12:04,979 --> 03:12:10,680
um wow okay I can't see the amount there
3980
03:12:07,800 --> 03:12:14,180
let's go ahead and just
3981
03:12:10,680 --> 03:12:14,180
shift everything over a little bit
3982
03:12:16,700 --> 03:12:24,420
105.75 so 106 FPS if we're rounding up
3983
03:12:21,080 --> 03:12:26,880
very good performance that's on Ray
3984
03:12:24,420 --> 03:12:31,160
tracing Ultra frame generation enabled
3985
03:12:26,880 --> 03:12:31,160
DLS S3 DLS has some quality
3986
03:12:32,460 --> 03:12:36,180
and it was smooth they didn't stutter 95
3987
03:12:34,800 --> 03:12:38,340
was the highest on the CPU I believe
3988
03:12:36,180 --> 03:12:39,840
that means it thermal throttled so we
3989
03:12:38,340 --> 03:12:42,420
did run into thermal throttling in
3990
03:12:39,840 --> 03:12:43,920
cinebench or in cyberpunk 2077 if you
3991
03:12:42,420 --> 03:12:46,620
wanted to fix that
3992
03:12:43,920 --> 03:12:48,120
you just go in here to Armory crate and
3993
03:12:46,620 --> 03:12:49,920
in manual mode at least you just drop
3994
03:12:48,120 --> 03:12:53,580
this down this wattage right here pl1
3995
03:12:49,920 --> 03:12:56,880
and pl2 dropped that to like 60 70.
3996
03:12:53,580 --> 03:12:59,760
uh and your temps will go way down
3997
03:12:56,880 --> 03:13:02,160
um so yeah
3998
03:12:59,760 --> 03:13:05,300
okay so cyberpunk let's go ahead and hop
3999
03:13:02,160 --> 03:13:05,300
into our
4000
03:13:09,479 --> 03:13:16,340
hop into our load screen so we can
4001
03:13:12,960 --> 03:13:16,340
shoot some bad guys up
4002
03:13:17,279 --> 03:13:22,439
turn on overdrive I mean that like yeah
4003
03:13:21,120 --> 03:13:25,700
you can turn on overdrive it's just for
4004
03:13:22,439 --> 03:13:25,700
your display though
4005
03:13:27,240 --> 03:13:30,800
where is overdrive on here
4006
03:13:32,580 --> 03:13:35,060
over
4007
03:13:37,760 --> 03:13:43,640
is there is there an overdrive for the
4008
03:13:40,859 --> 03:13:43,640
Third
4009
03:13:45,180 --> 03:13:52,160
am I missing the overdrive setting
4010
03:13:48,840 --> 03:13:52,160
because I'm not seeing it here
4011
03:13:52,439 --> 03:13:59,399
oh Ray tracing Overdrive oh gotcha
4012
03:13:57,200 --> 03:14:00,960
that's not what I test I just don't have
4013
03:13:59,399 --> 03:14:02,640
time to test it all these different
4014
03:14:00,960 --> 03:14:03,960
settings
4015
03:14:02,640 --> 03:14:06,540
um because I started testing with Ray
4016
03:14:03,960 --> 03:14:07,920
tracing on Ultra
4017
03:14:06,540 --> 03:14:10,740
I don't think the game liked it when
4018
03:14:07,920 --> 03:14:12,899
it's all tabbed in and out
4019
03:14:10,740 --> 03:14:15,779
okay there we go
4020
03:14:12,899 --> 03:14:18,560
Okay so we've got a new FPS average
4021
03:14:15,779 --> 03:14:18,560
going right there
4022
03:14:21,420 --> 03:14:26,420
it is so smooth this game is Silky
4023
03:14:24,779 --> 03:14:30,319
Smooth
4024
03:14:26,420 --> 03:14:30,319
ultra settings
4025
03:15:01,500 --> 03:15:05,040
I wish your teammate would stop jumping
4026
03:15:03,899 --> 03:15:07,640
in front of you
4027
03:15:05,040 --> 03:15:07,640
huh
4028
03:15:09,680 --> 03:15:14,640
so uh we're also going to try another
4029
03:15:12,000 --> 03:15:17,819
setting as well
4030
03:15:14,640 --> 03:15:20,340
okay so 105 FPS 37 for one percent low
4031
03:15:17,819 --> 03:15:23,460
it felt very smooth and very good to aim
4032
03:15:20,340 --> 03:15:25,920
wait if we drop this over to uh just
4033
03:15:23,460 --> 03:15:27,899
High settings
4034
03:15:25,920 --> 03:15:30,439
but dlss on quality frame generation
4035
03:15:27,899 --> 03:15:30,439
enabled
4036
03:15:31,140 --> 03:15:37,920
now we're doing 170 FPS
4037
03:15:35,399 --> 03:15:40,500
so if you want you can easily get to
4038
03:15:37,920 --> 03:15:42,720
full 144 Hertz just by turning off Ray
4039
03:15:40,500 --> 03:15:45,660
tracing and setting it to high settings
4040
03:15:42,720 --> 03:15:48,000
so that's awesome
4041
03:15:45,660 --> 03:15:48,960
pretty insane levels of performance
4042
03:15:48,000 --> 03:15:52,920
there
4043
03:15:48,960 --> 03:15:58,460
I see we're still dropping some frames
4044
03:15:52,920 --> 03:15:58,460
uh okay Hogwarts let's get into Hogwarts
4045
03:16:02,880 --> 03:16:07,680
better pick Acer Nitro 537 ETI with
4046
03:16:05,399 --> 03:16:09,960
better screen display and higher refresh
4047
03:16:07,680 --> 03:16:15,000
rate or pick
4048
03:16:09,960 --> 03:16:16,439
the tough F-15 RTX 4070 so the big
4049
03:16:15,000 --> 03:16:19,680
difference there is you're getting
4050
03:16:16,439 --> 03:16:21,180
you're giving up frame generation
4051
03:16:19,680 --> 03:16:24,960
for
4052
03:16:21,180 --> 03:16:27,240
a higher quality display the actual GPU
4053
03:16:24,960 --> 03:16:29,460
performance is right in line in the same
4054
03:16:27,240 --> 03:16:31,500
ballpark of GPU performance right around
4055
03:16:29,460 --> 03:16:32,720
12 000 a Time spy in both of those
4056
03:16:31,500 --> 03:16:35,520
laptops
4057
03:16:32,720 --> 03:16:38,520
I much prefer the build quality on the
4058
03:16:35,520 --> 03:16:41,520
Asus tough F-15 and like the glass track
4059
03:16:38,520 --> 03:16:43,800
pad and just the quality of the chassis
4060
03:16:41,520 --> 03:16:45,420
and everything is just better
4061
03:16:43,800 --> 03:16:47,340
um but if you need better display
4062
03:16:45,420 --> 03:16:48,840
quality like you do video editing or
4063
03:16:47,340 --> 03:16:51,060
photoshop then the Acer Nitro is
4064
03:16:48,840 --> 03:16:54,000
probably the better option and it saves
4065
03:16:51,060 --> 03:16:55,439
you a few dollars right so yeah I would
4066
03:16:54,000 --> 03:16:57,180
go that route if you're after a better
4067
03:16:55,439 --> 03:16:59,100
display quality if you're after better
4068
03:16:57,180 --> 03:17:00,840
build quality and you want a little more
4069
03:16:59,100 --> 03:17:03,840
future proofing with the frame gen then
4070
03:17:00,840 --> 03:17:05,399
go with the tough F-15
4071
03:17:03,840 --> 03:17:08,640
hello what time is it there greetings
4072
03:17:05,399 --> 03:17:11,120
from Peru it's around 8 15 p.m right now
4073
03:17:08,640 --> 03:17:11,120
our time
4074
03:17:19,100 --> 03:17:24,300
okay so Hogwarts
4075
03:17:22,200 --> 03:17:28,140
an awesome game that I've played all the
4076
03:17:24,300 --> 03:17:32,220
way through uh very CPU bound
4077
03:17:28,140 --> 03:17:34,200
and very vram focused so we're going to
4078
03:17:32,220 --> 03:17:35,819
be running the test today with ultra
4079
03:17:34,200 --> 03:17:39,720
settings low settings on the textures
4080
03:17:35,819 --> 03:17:41,880
Ray tracing enabled and our goal is
4081
03:17:39,720 --> 03:17:45,779
hopefully to get
4082
03:17:41,880 --> 03:17:48,560
90 FPS I think would be a good Target
4083
03:17:45,779 --> 03:17:48,560
let's see
4084
03:17:49,680 --> 03:17:54,840
your Yuri says hi Gizmo the 40 series
4085
03:17:52,500 --> 03:17:57,960
worth it for the dlss3 or just get the
4086
03:17:54,840 --> 03:17:59,819
3080 instead the 3080 is a powerful GPU
4087
03:17:57,960 --> 03:18:01,560
has lots of vram it's a good option if
4088
03:17:59,819 --> 03:18:03,540
you can get it for like fourteen hundred
4089
03:18:01,560 --> 03:18:04,500
fifteen hundred dollars
4090
03:18:03,540 --> 03:18:06,899
um
4091
03:18:04,500 --> 03:18:09,300
but I wouldn't spend like two over two
4092
03:18:06,899 --> 03:18:10,800
thousand for sure like that's a really
4093
03:18:09,300 --> 03:18:13,859
bad
4094
03:18:10,800 --> 03:18:16,200
that would be a really bad deal
4095
03:18:13,859 --> 03:18:19,439
um so you gotta just if you get a 3080
4096
03:18:16,200 --> 03:18:23,399
make sure it has 16 gigs of vram
4097
03:18:19,439 --> 03:18:23,399
and then uh
4098
03:18:23,460 --> 03:18:28,200
and then yeah you don't have frame gen
4099
03:18:25,020 --> 03:18:30,120
but it's still very good
4100
03:18:28,200 --> 03:18:31,319
um okay so let's go ahead and check out
4101
03:18:30,120 --> 03:18:33,920
our settings make sure that they're
4102
03:18:31,319 --> 03:18:33,920
still correct
4103
03:18:34,200 --> 03:18:39,560
all Ultra with textures on low Ray
4104
03:18:36,359 --> 03:18:39,560
tracing is enabled
4105
03:18:39,600 --> 03:18:46,220
dlss enabled frame gen enabled uncap
4106
03:18:42,359 --> 03:18:46,220
frame rate all that's correct
4107
03:18:47,040 --> 03:18:52,740
all right so here we are let's gonna do
4108
03:18:50,100 --> 03:18:56,640
our initial run through here
4109
03:18:52,740 --> 03:18:58,859
I just reset our FPS counter and
4110
03:18:56,640 --> 03:19:00,600
typically in hogsmead it's almost always
4111
03:18:58,859 --> 03:19:02,779
stuttery the first time you run through
4112
03:19:00,600 --> 03:19:02,779
it
4113
03:19:05,760 --> 03:19:11,000
notice that our GPU is not hitting 100
4114
03:19:08,040 --> 03:19:14,700
utilization
4115
03:19:11,000 --> 03:19:17,160
and our low textures are not maximizing
4116
03:19:14,700 --> 03:19:18,960
our vram utilization we have two extra
4117
03:19:17,160 --> 03:19:20,279
gigs of vram you could probably bump
4118
03:19:18,960 --> 03:19:23,220
this up
4119
03:19:20,279 --> 03:19:25,200
to uh medium textures then and still
4120
03:19:23,220 --> 03:19:28,740
have good performance
4121
03:19:25,200 --> 03:19:31,200
but this area of Hogwarts just has a ton
4122
03:19:28,740 --> 03:19:33,420
of NPCs so there's a lot of stuff
4123
03:19:31,200 --> 03:19:34,319
loading in and out
4124
03:19:33,420 --> 03:19:36,540
um
4125
03:19:34,319 --> 03:19:39,000
and you know right now we are maxing our
4126
03:19:36,540 --> 03:19:40,560
regular Ram at 16 you really want to
4127
03:19:39,000 --> 03:19:41,939
have 32 gigs of RAM for this game as
4128
03:19:40,560 --> 03:19:44,040
well so that could be causing our one
4129
03:19:41,939 --> 03:19:47,819
percent low stutters as well so
4130
03:19:44,040 --> 03:19:49,680
here we go let's go for our run through
4131
03:19:47,819 --> 03:19:51,859
now that we've done one initial run
4132
03:19:49,680 --> 03:19:51,859
through
4133
03:19:59,640 --> 03:20:05,160
63 degrees on the GPU excellent 80
4134
03:20:02,580 --> 03:20:07,020
degrees on the CPU also very good the
4135
03:20:05,160 --> 03:20:09,720
power pull through on the CPU is very
4136
03:20:07,020 --> 03:20:11,340
high at 55.
4137
03:20:09,720 --> 03:20:11,939
notice that
4138
03:20:11,340 --> 03:20:14,640
um
4139
03:20:11,939 --> 03:20:15,899
makes sense this is a very busy area of
4140
03:20:14,640 --> 03:20:18,180
the map
4141
03:20:15,899 --> 03:20:19,439
um a very CPU bound overall very
4142
03:20:18,180 --> 03:20:21,600
playable
4143
03:20:19,439 --> 03:20:23,340
uh you're gonna have a lot better one
4144
03:20:21,600 --> 03:20:24,720
percent low performance in other areas
4145
03:20:23,340 --> 03:20:26,760
of Hogwarts
4146
03:20:24,720 --> 03:20:28,740
but in hogsmeade it's pretty much
4147
03:20:26,760 --> 03:20:32,939
stuttery on almost all of the laptops
4148
03:20:28,740 --> 03:20:35,640
out there except like the 40 80 40 90
4149
03:20:32,939 --> 03:20:39,060
with I9 so there's a handful of laptops
4150
03:20:35,640 --> 03:20:41,220
that don't have one percent low stutters
4151
03:20:39,060 --> 03:20:42,300
but this is not one of them we're
4152
03:20:41,220 --> 03:20:44,220
definitely getting some one percent low
4153
03:20:42,300 --> 03:20:45,840
stutters so
4154
03:20:44,220 --> 03:20:48,240
85 22
4155
03:20:45,840 --> 03:20:50,340
it's a good result overall
4156
03:20:48,240 --> 03:20:52,080
um
4157
03:20:50,340 --> 03:20:52,920
yeah you might want to try lowering some
4158
03:20:52,080 --> 03:20:53,880
of the other settings you might be able
4159
03:20:52,920 --> 03:20:55,080
to get better one percent low
4160
03:20:53,880 --> 03:20:56,460
performance on Lower settings but
4161
03:20:55,080 --> 03:20:57,660
probably not because it's really the
4162
03:20:56,460 --> 03:21:00,420
NPCs
4163
03:20:57,660 --> 03:21:03,600
that are causing that stuttering I
4164
03:21:00,420 --> 03:21:06,740
believe okay our next game
4165
03:21:03,600 --> 03:21:06,740
is dead space
4166
03:21:13,380 --> 03:21:18,720
um can you add frame time graph on
4167
03:21:15,899 --> 03:21:20,399
afterburner currently not doing that
4168
03:21:18,720 --> 03:21:23,340
here's one
4169
03:21:20,399 --> 03:21:24,840
uh not a bad idea to potentially add
4170
03:21:23,340 --> 03:21:26,100
that though good suggestion thanks for
4171
03:21:24,840 --> 03:21:27,960
the suggestion
4172
03:21:26,100 --> 03:21:30,680
um not on this live stream though
4173
03:21:27,960 --> 03:21:30,680
uh
4174
03:21:32,399 --> 03:21:37,680
uh how do you say your name
4175
03:21:35,060 --> 03:21:40,680
damara scald
4176
03:21:37,680 --> 03:21:43,560
I have the RTX 3080 TI with 16 gigs of
4177
03:21:40,680 --> 03:21:45,840
vram and the GE 77hx I usually get
4178
03:21:43,560 --> 03:21:47,460
around 50 to 60 FPS in Red Dead
4179
03:21:45,840 --> 03:21:49,200
Redemption 2 with everything Ultra and
4180
03:21:47,460 --> 03:21:54,740
maxed out based on your user experience
4181
03:21:49,200 --> 03:21:54,740
is this expected for this card
4182
03:21:54,960 --> 03:21:58,340
great question
4183
03:21:58,979 --> 03:22:03,960
um looks like we're dropping some frames
4184
03:22:01,140 --> 03:22:07,380
still I apologize
4185
03:22:03,960 --> 03:22:09,180
if it gets really bad
4186
03:22:07,380 --> 03:22:10,740
there's nothing I can do unfortunately
4187
03:22:09,180 --> 03:22:11,700
because I believe it's just it's just my
4188
03:22:10,740 --> 03:22:13,439
internet
4189
03:22:11,700 --> 03:22:15,060
my internet's going bad I think because
4190
03:22:13,439 --> 03:22:17,220
everyone's getting home and using the
4191
03:22:15,060 --> 03:22:18,420
internet so
4192
03:22:17,220 --> 03:22:20,279
um
4193
03:22:18,420 --> 03:22:21,840
red it depends on what resolution you're
4194
03:22:20,279 --> 03:22:23,880
talking about if you're talking about 4K
4195
03:22:21,840 --> 03:22:25,319
with a 3080 TI then that's pretty good
4196
03:22:23,880 --> 03:22:26,220
if you're talking about
4197
03:22:25,319 --> 03:22:29,279
um
4198
03:22:26,220 --> 03:22:32,060
QHD then that's pretty meh full HD
4199
03:22:29,279 --> 03:22:32,060
obviously very bad
4200
03:22:33,720 --> 03:22:38,899
uh it really depends on all your
4201
03:22:35,460 --> 03:22:38,899
settings Damaris so
4202
03:22:39,120 --> 03:22:43,020
full HD
4203
03:22:41,040 --> 03:22:44,279
yeah something's going on there I would
4204
03:22:43,020 --> 03:22:45,899
make sure that you're in high
4205
03:22:44,279 --> 03:22:48,060
performance mode all your drivers are up
4206
03:22:45,899 --> 03:22:48,960
to date
4207
03:22:48,060 --> 03:22:51,720
um
4208
03:22:48,960 --> 03:22:53,760
you should getting more than 50 60 FPS
4209
03:22:51,720 --> 03:22:55,859
you could also try turning dlss on to
4210
03:22:53,760 --> 03:22:57,300
Quality and Red Dead Redemption 2 if you
4211
03:22:55,859 --> 03:22:59,660
haven't already it's usually off by
4212
03:22:57,300 --> 03:22:59,660
default
4213
03:23:08,700 --> 03:23:13,979
yeah with full HD a 3080 TI laptop
4214
03:23:11,100 --> 03:23:16,560
should be getting a 100 plus in Red Dead
4215
03:23:13,979 --> 03:23:19,080
Redemption 2 typically
4216
03:23:16,560 --> 03:23:22,700
we'll do my guess
4217
03:23:19,080 --> 03:23:22,700
Okay so
4218
03:23:26,520 --> 03:23:32,180
Ultra quality preset dlss on quality
4219
03:23:32,460 --> 03:23:37,040
1080p 144 Hertz resolution
4220
03:23:43,859 --> 03:23:48,120
we'll hold this for like five to ten
4221
03:23:46,380 --> 03:23:50,460
seconds here so make sure you guys can
4222
03:23:48,120 --> 03:23:54,060
see with that performance right here
4223
03:23:50,460 --> 03:23:56,040
um 95 degrees in Dead Space very spicy
4224
03:23:54,060 --> 03:23:58,859
CPU attempts very typical of Asus
4225
03:23:56,040 --> 03:24:01,680
laptops you can lower the power limits
4226
03:23:58,859 --> 03:24:03,300
to get better temps in this laptop for
4227
03:24:01,680 --> 03:24:04,859
sure and still get very similar FPS
4228
03:24:03,300 --> 03:24:08,100
probably
4229
03:24:04,859 --> 03:24:09,660
I'm not going to do it because yeah but
4230
03:24:08,100 --> 03:24:12,080
uh just know that that's what I would
4231
03:24:09,660 --> 03:24:12,080
normally expect
4232
03:24:16,140 --> 03:24:22,020
very high FPS 96 FPS this is definitely
4233
03:24:19,439 --> 03:24:24,600
above average
4234
03:24:22,020 --> 03:24:29,340
um 40 50s get like 60 FPS around these
4235
03:24:24,600 --> 03:24:31,020
settings 40 60s getting 70 75 FPS
4236
03:24:29,340 --> 03:24:32,520
so it's nice to see some performance
4237
03:24:31,020 --> 03:24:36,720
gains
4238
03:24:32,520 --> 03:24:39,060
we are 90 approximately for GPU
4239
03:24:36,720 --> 03:24:40,200
utilization which means we are CPU bound
4240
03:24:39,060 --> 03:24:44,340
right now
4241
03:24:40,200 --> 03:24:45,720
so GPU utilization is really not helping
4242
03:24:44,340 --> 03:24:48,060
us
4243
03:24:45,720 --> 03:24:49,319
that much like you really just need a
4244
03:24:48,060 --> 03:24:51,479
more powerful CPU if you want to get
4245
03:24:49,319 --> 03:24:53,760
higher frames
4246
03:24:51,479 --> 03:24:55,979
um obviously extremely playable very
4247
03:24:53,760 --> 03:24:58,200
good FPS here in Dead Space
4248
03:24:55,979 --> 03:25:02,180
having gonna have no problems enjoying
4249
03:24:58,200 --> 03:25:02,180
this game on ultra settings
4250
03:25:05,760 --> 03:25:10,800
these uh CPU attempts
4251
03:25:08,819 --> 03:25:12,180
might be worrying to some of you out
4252
03:25:10,800 --> 03:25:13,800
there I don't think it's going to damage
4253
03:25:12,180 --> 03:25:16,500
your laptop
4254
03:25:13,800 --> 03:25:17,819
but I would recommend if you can
4255
03:25:16,500 --> 03:25:20,100
if you can
4256
03:25:17,819 --> 03:25:22,439
go for
4257
03:25:20,100 --> 03:25:24,620
um we're gonna start our benchmarking
4258
03:25:22,439 --> 03:25:24,620
run
4259
03:25:26,399 --> 03:25:31,520
95 FPS 34 for our one percent lows
4260
03:25:39,840 --> 03:25:44,399
how is the stream quality right now guys
4261
03:25:42,120 --> 03:25:45,660
I don't know how bad and how stuttery
4262
03:25:44,399 --> 03:25:47,340
it's getting
4263
03:25:45,660 --> 03:25:50,840
you'll have to let me know if it gets
4264
03:25:47,340 --> 03:25:50,840
just completely unbearable
4265
03:25:51,000 --> 03:25:54,439
um like I said I think it's my internet
4266
03:25:54,840 --> 03:25:59,160
I have fiber internet so it shouldn't be
4267
03:25:57,060 --> 03:26:00,359
a problem
4268
03:25:59,160 --> 03:26:01,560
but there must be some kind of
4269
03:26:00,359 --> 03:26:05,060
bottleneck happening because it's
4270
03:26:01,560 --> 03:26:05,060
happening at the same time as yesterday
4271
03:26:05,520 --> 03:26:11,760
okay so 99 FPS 33 for a one percent low
4272
03:26:09,960 --> 03:26:14,279
very typical for a one percent lows 99
4273
03:26:11,760 --> 03:26:17,460
FPS is very good certainly a performance
4274
03:26:14,279 --> 03:26:20,160
Improvement overall compared to most of
4275
03:26:17,460 --> 03:26:22,080
the other laptops I've tested
4276
03:26:20,160 --> 03:26:23,939
um but yeah we are being CPU bound
4277
03:26:22,080 --> 03:26:25,859
largely here
4278
03:26:23,939 --> 03:26:28,080
um and if I were to do a quick example
4279
03:26:25,859 --> 03:26:30,420
of how you fix the Temps
4280
03:26:28,080 --> 03:26:31,620
just go into afterburner or Armory crate
4281
03:26:30,420 --> 03:26:34,380
here
4282
03:26:31,620 --> 03:26:36,720
go to manual mode you just go like this
4283
03:26:34,380 --> 03:26:39,600
say down to
4284
03:26:36,720 --> 03:26:42,560
say 60 watts
4285
03:26:39,600 --> 03:26:42,560
we'll apply that
4286
03:26:45,000 --> 03:26:51,560
let's see if it'll drop our wattage down
4287
03:26:47,399 --> 03:26:51,560
there it is 60 watts now
4288
03:26:52,020 --> 03:26:57,779
look at our temps our temps immediately
4289
03:26:54,420 --> 03:26:59,700
came down into the 80s and shabam and
4290
03:26:57,779 --> 03:27:01,200
look at our FPS our FPS is still about
4291
03:26:59,700 --> 03:27:03,720
the same
4292
03:27:01,200 --> 03:27:04,739
similar ballpark for our FPS certain
4293
03:27:03,720 --> 03:27:06,600
games you're just going to want to have
4294
03:27:04,739 --> 03:27:09,060
to do this if you want to maximize your
4295
03:27:06,600 --> 03:27:10,920
temps right so maximizing your temps in
4296
03:27:09,060 --> 03:27:13,680
Dead Space is pretty simple with this
4297
03:27:10,920 --> 03:27:15,000
laptop but uh just this is why you kind
4298
03:27:13,680 --> 03:27:16,080
of want to monitor your temps every now
4299
03:27:15,000 --> 03:27:17,040
and then whenever you're trying new
4300
03:27:16,080 --> 03:27:19,859
games
4301
03:27:17,040 --> 03:27:23,720
okay so we'll raise our
4302
03:27:19,859 --> 03:27:23,720
power limits back up again
4303
03:27:25,620 --> 03:27:33,020
and it's time to hop into our next game
4304
03:27:27,779 --> 03:27:36,060
which is going to be Last of Us Part One
4305
03:27:33,020 --> 03:27:38,239
there will be no Shader optimization for
4306
03:27:36,060 --> 03:27:38,239
this
4307
03:27:43,739 --> 03:27:48,979
audio is fine
4308
03:27:46,200 --> 03:27:48,979
that's good
4309
03:27:49,560 --> 03:27:56,300
me dogos are borking hero
4310
03:27:53,160 --> 03:27:56,300
Zeus No
4311
03:28:01,560 --> 03:28:07,739
so a hundred and eleven Watts loading
4312
03:28:04,260 --> 03:28:10,800
into the game right now 95 degrees
4313
03:28:07,739 --> 03:28:13,020
to the CPU geez
4314
03:28:10,800 --> 03:28:14,880
super spicy temps there
4315
03:28:13,020 --> 03:28:16,380
so this is another situation where if
4316
03:28:14,880 --> 03:28:17,700
you if you cap if you cap your power
4317
03:28:16,380 --> 03:28:22,160
limit you're not going to ever bump into
4318
03:28:17,700 --> 03:28:22,160
the 95 degree Mark at Max fans at least
4319
03:28:22,760 --> 03:28:29,640
what are the graphic card specs on this
4320
03:28:25,080 --> 03:28:31,620
laptop it's a RTX 4070 with 140 watt
4321
03:28:29,640 --> 03:28:34,920
technical power limit but
4322
03:28:31,620 --> 03:28:36,660
um realistically it's
4323
03:28:34,920 --> 03:28:40,200
not
4324
03:28:36,660 --> 03:28:42,239
we're going to go to dlss on quality
4325
03:28:40,200 --> 03:28:44,760
so dlss on quality we're going to go to
4326
03:28:42,239 --> 03:28:46,979
our graphic settings
4327
03:28:44,760 --> 03:28:50,760
we're gonna do ultra settings with
4328
03:28:46,979 --> 03:28:54,140
textures set to medium this is what I
4329
03:28:50,760 --> 03:28:54,140
test for all the laptops
4330
03:28:54,180 --> 03:28:57,560
go and apply this
4331
03:29:09,300 --> 03:29:13,020
I know the shaders are not fully
4332
03:29:11,100 --> 03:29:15,300
rendered that's we're just going to test
4333
03:29:13,020 --> 03:29:16,739
it with no shaders being fully optimized
4334
03:29:15,300 --> 03:29:21,439
it takes longer to load into the game
4335
03:29:16,739 --> 03:29:21,439
and expect slightly worse performance
4336
03:29:22,680 --> 03:29:24,800
um
4337
03:29:25,200 --> 03:29:27,859
yeah
4338
03:29:31,020 --> 03:29:36,120
ah yes okay so um
4339
03:29:33,840 --> 03:29:38,340
how many games we have left
4340
03:29:36,120 --> 03:29:39,479
we have three games left after this one
4341
03:29:38,340 --> 03:29:40,859
and then we're going to summarize
4342
03:29:39,479 --> 03:29:42,420
everything we've discovered about the
4343
03:29:40,859 --> 03:29:44,399
laptop
4344
03:29:42,420 --> 03:29:46,380
hopefully we can keep this stream
4345
03:29:44,399 --> 03:29:48,800
rolling without dropping too many more
4346
03:29:46,380 --> 03:29:48,800
frames
4347
03:30:05,880 --> 03:30:10,100
let me see if I can watch the playback
4348
03:30:07,800 --> 03:30:10,100
back
4349
03:30:10,859 --> 03:30:14,840
I mean it looks pretty smooth
4350
03:30:23,640 --> 03:30:29,460
I don't know
4351
03:30:25,880 --> 03:30:33,020
we'll see if it ever gets really bad
4352
03:30:29,460 --> 03:30:33,020
oh is it really it's a relented
4353
03:30:36,960 --> 03:30:40,460
okay here we go
4354
03:30:41,600 --> 03:30:50,279
112 FPS right now that is
4355
03:30:46,260 --> 03:30:52,939
really good 101 for our one percent lows
4356
03:30:50,279 --> 03:30:52,939
so far
4357
03:30:54,060 --> 03:30:59,340
phenomenal so you're gonna be able to do
4358
03:30:55,800 --> 03:31:01,979
high refresh rate gaming with the 4070
4359
03:30:59,340 --> 03:31:04,739
in this uh in this game
4360
03:31:01,979 --> 03:31:06,960
and uh again our CPU temps are a bit
4361
03:31:04,739 --> 03:31:10,640
spicy so you could drop that CPU TDP
4362
03:31:06,960 --> 03:31:10,640
down to 60 and fix that
4363
03:31:30,420 --> 03:31:33,680
I just turned volume up
4364
03:31:40,979 --> 03:31:45,600
I think this is
4365
03:31:42,899 --> 03:31:47,819
nice but
4366
03:31:45,600 --> 03:31:49,620
I think it's stuck it's not what no no
4367
03:31:47,819 --> 03:31:52,500
no
4368
03:31:49,620 --> 03:31:55,620
oh ha ha
4369
03:31:52,500 --> 03:31:58,819
did you get the money for this drugs I
4370
03:31:55,620 --> 03:31:58,819
sell hardcore drugs
4371
03:31:59,819 --> 03:32:02,899
yeah you wish
4372
03:32:06,479 --> 03:32:10,560
okay so
4373
03:32:08,279 --> 03:32:12,600
um so yeah you know as a good general
4374
03:32:10,560 --> 03:32:15,120
rule you might want to just limit the
4375
03:32:12,600 --> 03:32:16,080
CPU to 60 watts of power and you
4376
03:32:15,120 --> 03:32:17,880
honestly
4377
03:32:16,080 --> 03:32:19,979
you probably won't hardly notice any
4378
03:32:17,880 --> 03:32:21,420
drop in performance fairly little drop
4379
03:32:19,979 --> 03:32:23,640
in performance but you'll see a huge
4380
03:32:21,420 --> 03:32:26,840
drop in temps so that's probably what I
4381
03:32:23,640 --> 03:32:26,840
would do if this was my laptop
4382
03:32:32,380 --> 03:32:35,880
[Music]
4383
03:32:33,840 --> 03:32:36,779
and the graphics in this game are just
4384
03:32:35,880 --> 03:32:39,779
so
4385
03:32:36,779 --> 03:32:39,779
amazing
4386
03:32:49,140 --> 03:32:54,500
okay so we're no longer in the Cinematic
4387
03:32:59,520 --> 03:33:04,680
it's loaded in um to the the normal game
4388
03:33:02,340 --> 03:33:06,420
environment I mean the cinematics are
4389
03:33:04,680 --> 03:33:09,060
the normal game environment but this is
4390
03:33:06,420 --> 03:33:13,580
like actual gameplay environment now and
4391
03:33:09,060 --> 03:33:13,580
so the FPS is a little lower now
4392
03:33:19,020 --> 03:33:21,680
dad
4393
03:33:27,540 --> 03:33:32,000
I'm gonna try to go to the same areas
4394
03:33:28,979 --> 03:33:32,000
that I typically go to
4395
03:33:34,680 --> 03:33:39,080
does this display have HDR not that I
4396
03:33:36,779 --> 03:33:39,080
know of
4397
03:33:41,880 --> 03:33:44,540
Daddy
4398
03:34:00,479 --> 03:34:03,479
aggression
4399
03:34:04,620 --> 03:34:09,080
there seems to be some commotion coming
4400
03:34:06,840 --> 03:34:09,080
from
4401
03:34:09,380 --> 03:34:13,800
Kaboom okay so
4402
03:34:12,420 --> 03:34:16,979
um
4403
03:34:13,800 --> 03:34:20,160
so right now 114 FPS 62.1 percent low
4404
03:34:16,979 --> 03:34:23,520
excellent gameplay absolutely phenomenal
4405
03:34:20,160 --> 03:34:26,340
um I'm gonna I'm gonna swap us over into
4406
03:34:23,520 --> 03:34:28,800
the uh
4407
03:34:26,340 --> 03:34:32,060
let's try let's try performance where's
4408
03:34:28,800 --> 03:34:32,060
our performance fan profile
4409
03:34:32,520 --> 03:34:37,220
all right let's see what we get for so
4410
03:34:34,020 --> 03:34:37,220
we're at 114
4411
03:34:40,800 --> 03:34:44,819
with performance fan profile our
4412
03:34:42,779 --> 03:34:47,399
wattages are gonna drop on the CPU and
4413
03:34:44,819 --> 03:34:49,500
GPU by a little bit
4414
03:34:47,399 --> 03:34:51,000
and look at that our temps are coming in
4415
03:34:49,500 --> 03:34:55,560
line
4416
03:34:51,000 --> 03:34:57,960
our performance is still 110.
4417
03:34:55,560 --> 03:35:00,000
and now the fan noise is very quiet on
4418
03:34:57,960 --> 03:35:02,580
the laptop
4419
03:35:00,000 --> 03:35:04,620
that's awesome
4420
03:35:02,580 --> 03:35:09,260
um I can I can really hear the game now
4421
03:35:04,620 --> 03:35:09,260
I don't really hear the fan noise at all
4422
03:35:12,120 --> 03:35:16,819
I'm assuming you guys can hear the game
4423
03:35:13,800 --> 03:35:16,819
audio right
4424
03:35:20,160 --> 03:35:23,700
the game what's going on even though the
4425
03:35:22,560 --> 03:35:25,859
game audio is not very loud it's
4426
03:35:23,700 --> 03:35:28,640
completely overwhelming
4427
03:35:25,859 --> 03:35:28,640
it's the fan noise
4428
03:35:40,279 --> 03:35:44,220
here you are sir
4429
03:35:42,660 --> 03:35:45,779
are you okay
4430
03:35:44,220 --> 03:35:49,640
yeah
4431
03:35:45,779 --> 03:35:49,640
very very impressive
4432
03:35:49,859 --> 03:35:53,580
okay so let's go ahead and switch it
4433
03:35:52,140 --> 03:35:56,040
back into manual mode for the rest of
4434
03:35:53,580 --> 03:35:58,979
our testing but I think that's a really
4435
03:35:56,040 --> 03:36:01,319
good example of like you can get some
4436
03:35:58,979 --> 03:36:02,580
really quiet fans really good
4437
03:36:01,319 --> 03:36:04,260
performance
4438
03:36:02,580 --> 03:36:06,540
uh
4439
03:36:04,260 --> 03:36:11,479
this this laptop is tuned really well
4440
03:36:06,540 --> 03:36:11,479
okay so next game is Dying Light two
4441
03:36:12,660 --> 03:36:15,739
let's get into it
4442
03:36:15,899 --> 03:36:24,420
uh it is stream leg unfortunately oh it
4443
03:36:20,880 --> 03:36:26,580
looks like it's stuttering a lot now
4444
03:36:24,420 --> 03:36:29,399
uh I'm really sorry about the stuttering
4445
03:36:26,580 --> 03:36:31,560
guys but there will be a VOD of the the
4446
03:36:29,399 --> 03:36:33,420
whole live stream that'll be put up on
4447
03:36:31,560 --> 03:36:34,979
the main channel that will have no
4448
03:36:33,420 --> 03:36:38,479
stuttering but I've got to keep live
4449
03:36:34,979 --> 03:36:38,479
streaming it as is for now
4450
03:36:42,979 --> 03:36:49,560
uh have you tested Red Dead Redemption 2
4451
03:36:45,600 --> 03:36:51,720
Benchmark on this laptop I have not uh
4452
03:36:49,560 --> 03:36:52,560
I have not will not be testing we're not
4453
03:36:51,720 --> 03:36:54,840
going to be testing the Red Dead
4454
03:36:52,560 --> 03:36:58,040
Redemption 2 today
4455
03:36:54,840 --> 03:36:58,040
even though it is installed
4456
03:37:00,779 --> 03:37:05,580
yeah I'm gonna
4457
03:37:03,500 --> 03:37:07,560
[Music]
4458
03:37:05,580 --> 03:37:09,060
for now my goal is going to be to live
4459
03:37:07,560 --> 03:37:11,279
stream sooner in the day because I'm
4460
03:37:09,060 --> 03:37:15,620
pretty sure after eight o'clock we're
4461
03:37:11,279 --> 03:37:15,620
just gonna have uh problems every time
4462
03:37:26,220 --> 03:37:34,700
800 FPS yeah
4463
03:37:28,979 --> 03:37:34,700
huh 800 FPS on the main menu it's true
4464
03:37:34,739 --> 03:37:40,760
wait it said we had to restart but it
4465
03:37:37,200 --> 03:37:40,760
didn't restart the game right
4466
03:37:45,660 --> 03:37:49,340
we'll have to manually restart it then
4467
03:37:56,399 --> 03:38:01,260
the stuttering is not as bad as last
4468
03:37:58,140 --> 03:38:05,000
night well it looks like it's stuttering
4469
03:38:01,260 --> 03:38:05,000
really badly right now
4470
03:38:09,600 --> 03:38:12,359
I'm pretty sure it's because all my
4471
03:38:10,979 --> 03:38:14,340
neighbors got home and got on the
4472
03:38:12,359 --> 03:38:16,819
Netflix and are streaming 4K video and
4473
03:38:14,340 --> 03:38:16,819
all that stuff
4474
03:38:22,200 --> 03:38:25,140
I'm not going to stream that much
4475
03:38:23,460 --> 03:38:27,420
earlier LSP I'm just going to stream
4476
03:38:25,140 --> 03:38:30,080
like two hours earlier so I can be done
4477
03:38:27,420 --> 03:38:30,080
by seven o'clock
4478
03:38:38,640 --> 03:38:43,880
you guys are saying it's fine that's
4479
03:38:40,140 --> 03:38:43,880
good I hope it I hope it stays good
4480
03:38:44,640 --> 03:38:48,180
um okay so everything looks correct now
4481
03:38:46,739 --> 03:38:50,540
so let's go ahead and drop into the
4482
03:38:48,180 --> 03:38:50,540
benchmark
4483
03:38:53,580 --> 03:39:00,080
the the games are running at 1080p
4484
03:38:55,800 --> 03:39:00,080
resolution so 1920 by 1080.
4485
03:39:00,420 --> 03:39:05,279
my neighbors and I don't share Wi-Fi but
4486
03:39:03,120 --> 03:39:06,420
we share a fiber node in the
4487
03:39:05,279 --> 03:39:09,000
neighborhood
4488
03:39:06,420 --> 03:39:10,920
so that's my guess is that the fiber
4489
03:39:09,000 --> 03:39:13,560
node is messing up or some kind of
4490
03:39:10,920 --> 03:39:15,540
centralized server down the pipeline is
4491
03:39:13,560 --> 03:39:16,979
messing up now that enough people have
4492
03:39:15,540 --> 03:39:18,720
gotten home
4493
03:39:16,979 --> 03:39:19,979
that's my current guess I don't know for
4494
03:39:18,720 --> 03:39:25,020
sure it could it could be something else
4495
03:39:19,979 --> 03:39:28,439
but um but yeah so far at eight around 8
4496
03:39:25,020 --> 03:39:29,880
15 to 8 30. last night and tonight it's
4497
03:39:28,439 --> 03:39:32,939
the first time I've tried streaming this
4498
03:39:29,880 --> 03:39:35,340
late and it's just because the stream
4499
03:39:32,939 --> 03:39:39,080
has become much more stuttery like right
4500
03:39:35,340 --> 03:39:39,080
now it's showing a lot of dropped frames
4501
03:39:48,779 --> 03:39:52,800
Uzumaki Naruto says bro I want a laptop
4502
03:39:50,939 --> 03:39:54,239
for coding and programming and also want
4503
03:39:52,800 --> 03:39:56,819
to run some pretty good games how much
4504
03:39:54,239 --> 03:40:00,180
should my budget be uh this is a great
4505
03:39:56,819 --> 03:40:02,520
laptop for that exact purpose you got a
4506
03:40:00,180 --> 03:40:05,460
number pad with coding you got a great
4507
03:40:02,520 --> 03:40:07,080
keyboard a great all-around package
4508
03:40:05,460 --> 03:40:10,399
um the only thing is you might want to
4509
03:40:07,080 --> 03:40:13,920
go to a QHD resolution for text
4510
03:40:10,399 --> 03:40:16,500
but if you're okay with 1080p resolution
4511
03:40:13,920 --> 03:40:17,880
this is a great laptop for that
4512
03:40:16,500 --> 03:40:20,760
um and it's going to be it's gonna be
4513
03:40:17,880 --> 03:40:24,540
good so our temps are phenomenal
4514
03:40:20,760 --> 03:40:28,399
67 degrees on the GPU 82 on the CPU 4.4
4515
03:40:24,540 --> 03:40:31,859
gigahertz 60 watts of power to the CPU
4516
03:40:28,399 --> 03:40:35,120
121 FPS average so far currently doing
4517
03:40:31,859 --> 03:40:35,120
140 FPS
4518
03:40:35,340 --> 03:40:38,420
yeah you're gonna be able to basically
4519
03:40:37,260 --> 03:40:42,180
Max
4520
03:40:38,420 --> 03:40:45,000
maximize your FPS on this laptop almost
4521
03:40:42,180 --> 03:40:47,100
to the full 144 Hertz resolution or
4522
03:40:45,000 --> 03:40:50,100
refresh rate
4523
03:40:47,100 --> 03:40:53,819
currently choosing to the katana 15 40
4524
03:40:50,100 --> 03:40:58,979
70 tough F-15 4060 and Asus
4525
03:40:53,819 --> 03:41:01,560
a15 4070 what would you get ooh
4526
03:40:58,979 --> 03:41:03,239
probably one of the two Asus laptops
4527
03:41:01,560 --> 03:41:05,100
because I value display quality if you
4528
03:41:03,239 --> 03:41:07,220
know the value display quality as much
4529
03:41:05,100 --> 03:41:11,939
then you could go with the other ones
4530
03:41:07,220 --> 03:41:13,040
125.9 FPS 126 FPS In Dying Light 2. that
4531
03:41:11,939 --> 03:41:15,660
is
4532
03:41:13,040 --> 03:41:17,700
very good
4533
03:41:15,660 --> 03:41:19,200
very very good
4534
03:41:17,700 --> 03:41:22,080
okay
4535
03:41:19,200 --> 03:41:24,800
uh next game I believe is shadow of the
4536
03:41:22,080 --> 03:41:24,800
Tomb Raider
4537
03:41:33,300 --> 03:41:37,560
Warzone made this laptop look weak at
4538
03:41:35,580 --> 03:41:39,300
the beginning
4539
03:41:37,560 --> 03:41:41,100
yeah well like we said there was a big
4540
03:41:39,300 --> 03:41:43,080
war zone update you can't really focus
4541
03:41:41,100 --> 03:41:45,420
on that
4542
03:41:43,080 --> 03:41:48,420
so exclusive full screen highest
4543
03:41:45,420 --> 03:41:51,840
settings Ray tracing on Ultra
4544
03:41:48,420 --> 03:41:55,049
144 Hertz refresh rate let's go
4545
03:41:51,840 --> 03:41:55,049
[Music]
4546
03:42:09,060 --> 03:42:13,700
all right so displaying graphics
4547
03:42:13,979 --> 03:42:20,600
all of this looks correct still cool
4548
03:42:17,640 --> 03:42:20,600
let's hop into it
4549
03:42:40,319 --> 03:42:47,100
Okay so
4550
03:42:43,200 --> 03:42:52,920
wow it's really pushing the CPU a lot
4551
03:42:47,100 --> 03:42:55,680
here 80 degrees to the CPU 84 62 watts
4552
03:42:52,920 --> 03:42:57,359
to the CPU we were almost pushing over
4553
03:42:55,680 --> 03:42:59,100
90 degrees for a little bit there in a
4554
03:42:57,359 --> 03:42:59,880
higher wattage but it came down a little
4555
03:42:59,100 --> 03:43:03,180
bit
4556
03:42:59,880 --> 03:43:08,160
92 watts to the GPU were not quite 100
4557
03:43:03,180 --> 03:43:10,520
GPU saturated but we're pretty close 96
4558
03:43:08,160 --> 03:43:15,120
98 GPU utilization
4559
03:43:10,520 --> 03:43:17,460
123 FPS so far again High refresh rate
4560
03:43:15,120 --> 03:43:20,460
gaming on ultra settings with Ray
4561
03:43:17,460 --> 03:43:24,140
tracing enabled I mean
4562
03:43:20,460 --> 03:43:24,140
that's pretty freaking awesome
4563
03:43:41,100 --> 03:43:47,460
for coding get one of those monitors you
4564
03:43:44,100 --> 03:43:49,020
can turn vertically that's a good idea
4565
03:43:47,460 --> 03:43:50,460
um You probably don't want it to be too
4566
03:43:49,020 --> 03:43:51,779
long just like almost like a normal
4567
03:43:50,460 --> 03:43:53,880
monitor you just turn vertically because
4568
03:43:51,779 --> 03:43:56,220
when he goes when it goes vertical like
4569
03:43:53,880 --> 03:43:58,319
it gets really tall looking
4570
03:43:56,220 --> 03:43:59,939
but you could get like a 16x9 aspect
4571
03:43:58,319 --> 03:44:01,260
ratio and turn it vertically and then if
4572
03:43:59,939 --> 03:44:02,819
it's easy to flip it to turn it
4573
03:44:01,260 --> 03:44:04,020
horizontal because of the mount then
4574
03:44:02,819 --> 03:44:08,220
that's good
4575
03:44:04,020 --> 03:44:09,840
uh ever degrees OSD for CPU temps and
4576
03:44:08,220 --> 03:44:12,000
clock speed not popping up for blade
4577
03:44:09,840 --> 03:44:13,920
1447 with MSI afterburner is that normal
4578
03:44:12,000 --> 03:44:15,180
for razor blades any tips
4579
03:44:13,920 --> 03:44:16,560
um first of all get the latest version
4580
03:44:15,180 --> 03:44:18,600
of afterburner you probably have an
4581
03:44:16,560 --> 03:44:20,460
older version of afterburner thanks so
4582
03:44:18,600 --> 03:44:22,620
much for the five dollar Super Chat the
4583
03:44:20,460 --> 03:44:24,420
second thing you can do is if it's still
4584
03:44:22,620 --> 03:44:29,040
not popping up into the overlay you can
4585
03:44:24,420 --> 03:44:31,800
use HW info 64 and you just double click
4586
03:44:29,040 --> 03:44:35,819
on any of the categories and then
4587
03:44:31,800 --> 03:44:37,560
uh check show in RSS overlays check
4588
03:44:35,819 --> 03:44:40,200
check that little box and then it'll pop
4589
03:44:37,560 --> 03:44:43,500
up into the overlay so you can see like
4590
03:44:40,200 --> 03:44:45,620
temperatures or anything that's missing
4591
03:44:43,500 --> 03:44:45,620
um
4592
03:44:46,020 --> 03:44:50,100
yeah
4593
03:44:47,580 --> 03:44:53,040
so very good performance in Shadow of
4594
03:44:50,100 --> 03:44:55,140
the Tomb Raider 71 degrees on the GPU 89
4595
03:44:53,040 --> 03:44:56,819
on the CPU getting a little spicy on
4596
03:44:55,140 --> 03:45:00,020
that CPU
4597
03:44:56,819 --> 03:45:00,020
but not bad
4598
03:45:05,160 --> 03:45:09,960
okay 95 now so yeah this is another
4599
03:45:07,800 --> 03:45:12,899
example like my probably just limit the
4600
03:45:09,960 --> 03:45:14,760
CPU down to like 60 watts of power
4601
03:45:12,899 --> 03:45:18,479
and you're not going to have any bad CPU
4602
03:45:14,760 --> 03:45:20,340
attempts anymore at least with Max fans
4603
03:45:18,479 --> 03:45:22,200
um or you could just or you could just
4604
03:45:20,340 --> 03:45:25,319
do like performance or turbo fan modes
4605
03:45:22,200 --> 03:45:26,100
and you'll be good as as well then
4606
03:45:25,319 --> 03:45:27,840
um
4607
03:45:26,100 --> 03:45:28,979
honestly I've I had this laptop I'd
4608
03:45:27,840 --> 03:45:30,060
probably just keep it in performance
4609
03:45:28,979 --> 03:45:31,800
mode
4610
03:45:30,060 --> 03:45:35,520
all the time
4611
03:45:31,800 --> 03:45:39,200
and then use GPU undervolt overclocking
4612
03:45:35,520 --> 03:45:42,359
to bump the to get the GPU to go to 23
4613
03:45:39,200 --> 03:45:45,120
uh 2340
4614
03:45:42,359 --> 03:45:47,100
went at a lower wattage voltage and you
4615
03:45:45,120 --> 03:45:48,359
could get phenomenal for phenomenal
4616
03:45:47,100 --> 03:45:51,960
performance well at the same time
4617
03:45:48,359 --> 03:45:56,479
getting great uh temps and fan noise and
4618
03:45:51,960 --> 03:45:56,479
all of that okay 127 FPS
4619
03:45:57,660 --> 03:46:04,200
High refresh rate gaming no problem with
4620
03:46:00,300 --> 03:46:06,000
shadow of the Tomb Raider on this laptop
4621
03:46:04,200 --> 03:46:09,920
um all right
4622
03:46:06,000 --> 03:46:09,920
Witcher 3 Let's Go
4623
03:46:33,120 --> 03:46:37,979
so Ray tracing Ultra preset then we're
4624
03:46:35,760 --> 03:46:42,140
gonna do dlss on quality frame
4625
03:46:37,979 --> 03:46:42,140
generation enabled 1080p full screen
4626
03:46:43,500 --> 03:46:50,960
let's go ahead and load into the right
4627
03:46:47,460 --> 03:46:50,960
match area
4628
03:46:51,720 --> 03:46:56,340
there it is
4629
03:46:53,700 --> 03:46:59,340
uh what day will you do the live for the
4630
03:46:56,340 --> 03:47:03,359
blade 1447 the unboxing
4631
03:46:59,340 --> 03:47:07,460
um soon I'm thinking Friday probably
4632
03:47:03,359 --> 03:47:07,460
so in two days is my plan probably
4633
03:47:09,779 --> 03:47:14,120
that would be my most likely guess
4634
03:47:18,300 --> 03:47:22,500
Okay so
4635
03:47:20,580 --> 03:47:24,800
keep in mind right now we are on ultra
4636
03:47:22,500 --> 03:47:27,479
settings Ray tracing enabled all right
4637
03:47:24,800 --> 03:47:30,479
uh frame generation
4638
03:47:27,479 --> 03:47:33,120
and we see that we were doing 300 FPS uh
4639
03:47:30,479 --> 03:47:34,739
so everybody Grace uh thanks again for
4640
03:47:33,120 --> 03:47:36,560
the two two dollar additional Super Chat
4641
03:47:34,739 --> 03:47:39,420
I appreciate it man
4642
03:47:36,560 --> 03:47:42,439
uh man or woman
4643
03:47:39,420 --> 03:47:42,439
whatever you be
4644
03:47:42,540 --> 03:47:45,200
all right
4645
03:47:48,120 --> 03:47:54,239
so here we go
4646
03:47:50,580 --> 03:47:57,300
83 FPS right now 61 for our one percent
4647
03:47:54,239 --> 03:48:00,120
low we're hitting 99 GP utilization
4648
03:47:57,300 --> 03:48:01,380
that's excellent
4649
03:48:00,120 --> 03:48:04,819
um
4650
03:48:01,380 --> 03:48:04,819
very very good
4651
03:48:04,939 --> 03:48:09,960
98 Watts 99 watts of power to the GPU
4652
03:48:08,700 --> 03:48:12,260
out we didn't dive into the water at
4653
03:48:09,960 --> 03:48:15,479
that time that's a little different
4654
03:48:12,260 --> 03:48:16,859
over 100 watts of power to the GPU one
4655
03:48:15,479 --> 03:48:20,160
of the few games they're actually seeing
4656
03:48:16,859 --> 03:48:21,479
push over 100 watts of power to the GPU
4657
03:48:20,160 --> 03:48:23,060
it's very
4658
03:48:21,479 --> 03:48:25,500
very good
4659
03:48:23,060 --> 03:48:28,439
temps are still great
4660
03:48:25,500 --> 03:48:30,779
overall CPU and GPU attempts are great
4661
03:48:28,439 --> 03:48:32,520
not thermal throttling on the CPU in
4662
03:48:30,779 --> 03:48:34,680
this game
4663
03:48:32,520 --> 03:48:37,460
um I wish the CPU is a little bit lower
4664
03:48:34,680 --> 03:48:41,399
I'd prefer under 80 degrees if we could
4665
03:48:37,460 --> 03:48:43,020
so there is our result 99 FPS 72 for a
4666
03:48:41,399 --> 03:48:44,580
one percent low that's extremely good
4667
03:48:43,020 --> 03:48:47,640
for a one percent low
4668
03:48:44,580 --> 03:48:50,160
if we were to just go into settings and
4669
03:48:47,640 --> 03:48:52,500
say go to graphics and just flip Ray
4670
03:48:50,160 --> 03:48:54,899
tracing to off which is probably how I
4671
03:48:52,500 --> 03:48:56,399
would actually recommend it with this
4672
03:48:54,899 --> 03:48:58,200
game
4673
03:48:56,399 --> 03:48:59,460
um like I'm playing on my blade 18 right
4674
03:48:58,200 --> 03:49:01,020
now The Witcher 3 like I'm playing
4675
03:48:59,460 --> 03:49:02,399
through the whole story I'm like most of
4676
03:49:01,020 --> 03:49:03,660
the way through now I think or like at
4677
03:49:02,399 --> 03:49:07,260
least over halfway
4678
03:49:03,660 --> 03:49:08,880
and I disabled Ray tracing because
4679
03:49:07,260 --> 03:49:10,620
um it looks weird in certain scenes
4680
03:49:08,880 --> 03:49:14,279
causes some visual artifacting and
4681
03:49:10,620 --> 03:49:16,260
glitching 166 FPS 120 for a one percent
4682
03:49:14,279 --> 03:49:17,640
low now so now we're doing a high
4683
03:49:16,260 --> 03:49:20,460
refresh rate gaming in The Witcher 3
4684
03:49:17,640 --> 03:49:23,819
just disabling Ray tracing boom
4685
03:49:20,460 --> 03:49:26,220
freaking awesome sauce
4686
03:49:23,819 --> 03:49:27,840
it looks it looks super smooth to play
4687
03:49:26,220 --> 03:49:29,640
this game right now
4688
03:49:27,840 --> 03:49:32,040
um to my eyes you guys can't see how
4689
03:49:29,640 --> 03:49:34,920
smooth it is on the stream of course but
4690
03:49:32,040 --> 03:49:37,080
just really really phenomenal all right
4691
03:49:34,920 --> 03:49:38,939
so let's go and exit it's time to do a
4692
03:49:37,080 --> 03:49:41,279
summary of everything we have found out
4693
03:49:38,939 --> 03:49:45,020
about
4694
03:49:41,279 --> 03:49:45,020
this laptop okay so
4695
03:49:45,540 --> 03:49:53,279
let me get this to the inside
4696
03:49:48,540 --> 03:49:53,279
the light turned back on and
4697
03:49:53,580 --> 03:49:58,220
here we go are you ready
4698
03:50:08,040 --> 03:50:14,760
Okay so
4699
03:50:10,260 --> 03:50:19,140
the Asus tough F-15 is a phenomenal
4700
03:50:14,760 --> 03:50:22,620
gaming laptop at 1400 it's very good
4701
03:50:19,140 --> 03:50:26,520
value I even at 1400 it's good value at
4702
03:50:22,620 --> 03:50:28,319
11.49 it's extremely good value you're
4703
03:50:26,520 --> 03:50:30,899
getting frame gen support you're getting
4704
03:50:28,319 --> 03:50:33,660
over 12 000 in Times by you're getting
4705
03:50:30,899 --> 03:50:36,960
like a right around 17 000 instead of
4706
03:50:33,660 --> 03:50:38,520
it's R23 uh you're getting great
4707
03:50:36,960 --> 03:50:41,700
performance in every single game we
4708
03:50:38,520 --> 03:50:44,220
tested we had high CPU temps in Dead
4709
03:50:41,700 --> 03:50:46,680
Space in Shadow of the Tomb Raider a
4710
03:50:44,220 --> 03:50:48,720
handful of games we can fix that simply
4711
03:50:46,680 --> 03:50:50,939
by going into Armory crate and lowering
4712
03:50:48,720 --> 03:50:52,800
our TDP or by switching to one of the
4713
03:50:50,939 --> 03:50:55,260
other power profiles performance or
4714
03:50:52,800 --> 03:50:58,080
turbo mode which is going to limit the
4715
03:50:55,260 --> 03:50:59,880
CPU wattage down to a lower wattage and
4716
03:50:58,080 --> 03:51:02,300
not really hurt the performance too much
4717
03:50:59,880 --> 03:51:05,460
okay so let's talk about each category
4718
03:51:02,300 --> 03:51:07,859
unboxing the laptop the laptop is a
4719
03:51:05,460 --> 03:51:11,819
decent unboxing experience but it's
4720
03:51:07,859 --> 03:51:14,100
nothing special a okay
4721
03:51:11,819 --> 03:51:16,500
um it's kind of a budget basic unboxing
4722
03:51:14,100 --> 03:51:19,200
experience the power adapter is a decent
4723
03:51:16,500 --> 03:51:21,540
cord length and it's 240 Watts you can
4724
03:51:19,200 --> 03:51:24,120
use USBC power charging up to 100 watts
4725
03:51:21,540 --> 03:51:26,520
to power this with a more portable USBC
4726
03:51:24,120 --> 03:51:27,140
charger
4727
03:51:26,520 --> 03:51:29,100
um
4728
03:51:27,140 --> 03:51:31,319
the uh
4729
03:51:29,100 --> 03:51:33,720
uh everyday gas wants to know uh what's
4730
03:51:31,319 --> 03:51:37,319
the Benchmark numbers in cyberpunk I
4731
03:51:33,720 --> 03:51:39,239
believe it was 105 FPS at 1080p Ultra
4732
03:51:37,319 --> 03:51:42,060
array tracing settings
4733
03:51:39,239 --> 03:51:43,560
um and like 170 I believe with uh when
4734
03:51:42,060 --> 03:51:46,500
we disabled Ray tracing went to high
4735
03:51:43,560 --> 03:51:48,660
settings so very very good
4736
03:51:46,500 --> 03:51:50,520
um okay quality control on this laptop
4737
03:51:48,660 --> 03:51:52,560
is very good Flex test was very good
4738
03:51:50,520 --> 03:51:55,200
we've got a metal lid on here it's a
4739
03:51:52,560 --> 03:51:58,380
very rigid feel to this laptop it is
4740
03:51:55,200 --> 03:52:01,020
plasticky build but it it feels like the
4741
03:51:58,380 --> 03:52:03,060
high quality type of plastic which is
4742
03:52:01,020 --> 03:52:05,939
better I think than Acer Nitro series
4743
03:52:03,060 --> 03:52:07,739
The Lenovo IdeaPad series
4744
03:52:05,939 --> 03:52:11,939
um it feels like a more premium product
4745
03:52:07,739 --> 03:52:13,260
overall uh single zone RGB backlight on
4746
03:52:11,939 --> 03:52:15,120
the keyboard
4747
03:52:13,260 --> 03:52:16,739
I'd probably just set this to White and
4748
03:52:15,120 --> 03:52:18,120
forget about it
4749
03:52:16,739 --> 03:52:19,979
um that's what I would do because I just
4750
03:52:18,120 --> 03:52:22,380
I much prefer that I don't really like
4751
03:52:19,979 --> 03:52:24,300
this multi-color thing it's got going on
4752
03:52:22,380 --> 03:52:27,060
um kind of reduces the style unless it's
4753
03:52:24,300 --> 03:52:31,560
a per key RGB in my opinion
4754
03:52:27,060 --> 03:52:34,560
um speakers were not amazing
4755
03:52:31,560 --> 03:52:38,279
just like us I think we rated it as 7.6
4756
03:52:34,560 --> 03:52:40,439
overall decent volume decent Bass
4757
03:52:38,279 --> 03:52:42,300
but the clarity can get muddled and all
4758
03:52:40,439 --> 03:52:43,760
that but at least the Acoustics on this
4759
03:52:42,300 --> 03:52:48,479
laptop are very good with the fan noise
4760
03:52:43,760 --> 03:52:50,939
only 45 decibels in performance mode in
4761
03:52:48,479 --> 03:52:52,439
silent mode performance mode was like 47
4762
03:52:50,939 --> 03:52:54,960
decibels and performance mode was
4763
03:52:52,439 --> 03:52:56,399
basically 90 plus percent of the total
4764
03:52:54,960 --> 03:52:58,080
overall performance on this machine
4765
03:52:56,399 --> 03:53:02,760
which is phenomenal
4766
03:52:58,080 --> 03:53:05,160
so you can have really high FPS gaming a
4767
03:53:02,760 --> 03:53:06,359
quiet laptop that has pretty dang good
4768
03:53:05,160 --> 03:53:08,819
Temps
4769
03:53:06,359 --> 03:53:10,380
and and uh and it's not going to make
4770
03:53:08,819 --> 03:53:12,300
that much noise and then you're gonna be
4771
03:53:10,380 --> 03:53:14,160
able to hear the game over the speakers
4772
03:53:12,300 --> 03:53:16,380
pretty dang well
4773
03:53:14,160 --> 03:53:19,020
um and the spatial audio was pretty good
4774
03:53:16,380 --> 03:53:22,020
with Dolby Atmos we did test that with
4775
03:53:19,020 --> 03:53:23,760
uh Warzone and Apex Legends so you we
4776
03:53:22,020 --> 03:53:25,439
tested the spatial audio
4777
03:53:23,760 --> 03:53:26,939
um and it was better than average not
4778
03:53:25,439 --> 03:53:29,520
quite as good as the Razer series but it
4779
03:53:26,939 --> 03:53:32,100
was better than average the webcam was
4780
03:53:29,520 --> 03:53:34,260
not very good quality
4781
03:53:32,100 --> 03:53:35,340
blow out like below average webcam
4782
03:53:34,260 --> 03:53:38,160
quality
4783
03:53:35,340 --> 03:53:39,960
definitely could be uh an improved a
4784
03:53:38,160 --> 03:53:41,760
place for Asus to potentially improve
4785
03:53:39,960 --> 03:53:43,680
this laptop the ports on this
4786
03:53:41,760 --> 03:53:45,779
Thunderbolt 4 support so you can use an
4787
03:53:43,680 --> 03:53:46,920
external egpu enclosure or Thunderbolt
4788
03:53:45,779 --> 03:53:49,319
docs
4789
03:53:46,920 --> 03:53:51,540
um I love that the
4790
03:53:49,319 --> 03:53:52,739
um the keyboard has a great layout with
4791
03:53:51,540 --> 03:53:54,600
great functionality and good
4792
03:53:52,739 --> 03:53:56,580
backlighting the touchpad is a glass
4793
03:53:54,600 --> 03:53:58,140
touch pad which is another level of
4794
03:53:56,580 --> 03:54:01,520
Premium quality that you're not going to
4795
03:53:58,140 --> 03:54:04,439
get in a lot of the other 1150 laptops
4796
03:54:01,520 --> 03:54:06,300
so it's nice to see that and it's got a
4797
03:54:04,439 --> 03:54:08,640
decent click I like the feel
4798
03:54:06,300 --> 03:54:12,660
the display was not as bright as I was
4799
03:54:08,640 --> 03:54:14,220
hoping for 274 nits brightness is not as
4800
03:54:12,660 --> 03:54:16,500
bright as you'd ideally want when you're
4801
03:54:14,220 --> 03:54:18,359
spending 1400 at 11 49 though that's
4802
03:54:16,500 --> 03:54:20,279
pretty good it's decent
4803
03:54:18,359 --> 03:54:21,779
um and then the actual color gamut and
4804
03:54:20,279 --> 03:54:24,560
contrast on the display was very good
4805
03:54:21,779 --> 03:54:28,080
close to 100 srgb if not more than 100
4806
03:54:24,560 --> 03:54:30,120
srgb and I believe it was around uh in
4807
03:54:28,080 --> 03:54:33,479
the mid 80s for Adobe and P3 color
4808
03:54:30,120 --> 03:54:36,720
gamuts which is pretty uh pretty great
4809
03:54:33,479 --> 03:54:39,060
overall 144 Hertz res uh Hertz refresh
4810
03:54:36,720 --> 03:54:41,819
rate on this with Advanced Optimus and
4811
03:54:39,060 --> 03:54:45,120
g-sync support which is great the
4812
03:54:41,819 --> 03:54:46,739
battery life on this is likely to be in
4813
03:54:45,120 --> 03:54:48,000
the six to eight hour range depending on
4814
03:54:46,739 --> 03:54:50,040
how you optimize it might be able to
4815
03:54:48,000 --> 03:54:51,359
push Beyond eight hours if you optimize
4816
03:54:50,040 --> 03:54:53,399
it really really well with a great
4817
03:54:51,359 --> 03:54:57,000
browser that's very
4818
03:54:53,399 --> 03:54:57,859
um low power requirements
4819
03:54:57,000 --> 03:55:02,279
um
4820
03:54:57,859 --> 03:55:06,000
cinematr23 17 000 Times by 12 200
4821
03:55:02,279 --> 03:55:09,779
approximately for the GPU score really
4822
03:55:06,000 --> 03:55:11,819
great scores for an 11 50 laptop and if
4823
03:55:09,779 --> 03:55:14,460
this thing is not on sale
4824
03:55:11,819 --> 03:55:16,080
you can wait for it to go back on sale I
4825
03:55:14,460 --> 03:55:19,399
guarantee this thing will go back on
4826
03:55:16,080 --> 03:55:22,199
sale again at some point Black Friday
4827
03:55:19,399 --> 03:55:24,779
will definitely go down to 11.50 again
4828
03:55:22,199 --> 03:55:26,699
most likely not guaranteed but I would
4829
03:55:24,779 --> 03:55:28,680
say very very likely maybe even a little
4830
03:55:26,699 --> 03:55:31,080
lower maybe even 1100 during Black
4831
03:55:28,680 --> 03:55:34,140
Friday I don't know but this is the
4832
03:55:31,080 --> 03:55:37,140
cheapest RTX 4070 I've seen or pretty
4833
03:55:34,140 --> 03:55:39,359
close to it while still having all of
4834
03:55:37,140 --> 03:55:41,180
the core components that make a laptop
4835
03:55:39,359 --> 03:55:43,680
great obviously
4836
03:55:41,180 --> 03:55:45,660
the the CPU attempts getting a little
4837
03:55:43,680 --> 03:55:48,660
spicy needs a little tweaking a little
4838
03:55:45,660 --> 03:55:50,040
bit uh in certain power modes the
4839
03:55:48,660 --> 03:55:52,020
speakers not being that good webcam
4840
03:55:50,040 --> 03:55:54,180
being not that good but a lot of gamers
4841
03:55:52,020 --> 03:55:55,859
are not going to care about those things
4842
03:55:54,180 --> 03:55:57,720
they care primarily about the display
4843
03:55:55,859 --> 03:56:00,180
color gamut
4844
03:55:57,720 --> 03:56:01,739
and the GPU performance and whether the
4845
03:56:00,180 --> 03:56:05,819
laptop feels like it's going to fall
4846
03:56:01,739 --> 03:56:07,439
apart and this thing feels nice like I
4847
03:56:05,819 --> 03:56:10,500
feel like this thing is going to last
4848
03:56:07,439 --> 03:56:13,260
five seven years no problem
4849
03:56:10,500 --> 03:56:15,359
um most likely
4850
03:56:13,260 --> 03:56:17,100
no way to know for sure right maybe it's
4851
03:56:15,359 --> 03:56:18,540
going to go out in six months but most
4852
03:56:17,100 --> 03:56:19,680
likely I think this thing is going to
4853
03:56:18,540 --> 03:56:22,040
last a long time and make a lot of
4854
03:56:19,680 --> 03:56:24,180
people very happy
4855
03:56:22,040 --> 03:56:27,180
yeah I mean
4856
03:56:24,180 --> 03:56:28,800
if if you want a better laptop there are
4857
03:56:27,180 --> 03:56:30,479
better laptops out there that have
4858
03:56:28,800 --> 03:56:32,040
better refresh rate better color gamut
4859
03:56:30,479 --> 03:56:33,899
higher brightness display higher levels
4860
03:56:32,040 --> 03:56:36,239
of performance but when you're talking
4861
03:56:33,899 --> 03:56:39,660
about CPU performance GPU performance
4862
03:56:36,239 --> 03:56:42,660
and display color gamut for the money
4863
03:56:39,660 --> 03:56:44,340
this is an excellent overall Choice
4864
03:56:42,660 --> 03:56:46,260
there are other good choices out there
4865
03:56:44,340 --> 03:56:48,000
and there are other laptops that have
4866
03:56:46,260 --> 03:56:49,800
better display color gamut around the
4867
03:56:48,000 --> 03:56:51,239
same price point I talked about them at
4868
03:56:49,800 --> 03:56:53,460
the beginning of the live stream during
4869
03:56:51,239 --> 03:56:55,859
the top deal section so go back and
4870
03:56:53,460 --> 03:56:58,080
check that out if you're um trying to
4871
03:56:55,859 --> 03:57:01,859
search for a similar-ish laptop that has
4872
03:56:58,080 --> 03:57:03,180
other specs like better display quality
4873
03:57:01,859 --> 03:57:05,899
um
4874
03:57:03,180 --> 03:57:05,899
okay
4875
03:57:06,979 --> 03:57:11,479
I'm trying to see if there's anything
4876
03:57:08,939 --> 03:57:11,479
else
4877
03:57:11,580 --> 03:57:16,859
Warzone 2 we had under levels under
4878
03:57:14,640 --> 03:57:18,960
performing levels of performance there
4879
03:57:16,859 --> 03:57:22,260
was a new update in Warzone 2 change the
4880
03:57:18,960 --> 03:57:23,880
map we needed more testing it was weird
4881
03:57:22,260 --> 03:57:26,340
um so we're only getting like it was
4882
03:57:23,880 --> 03:57:27,960
like 80 to FPS in certain areas that's
4883
03:57:26,340 --> 03:57:29,220
what I was close to what I was expecting
4884
03:57:27,960 --> 03:57:31,680
for this laptop
4885
03:57:29,220 --> 03:57:34,680
other areas we're only getting like 59
4886
03:57:31,680 --> 03:57:36,779
to 60 something like high 50s low 60s
4887
03:57:34,680 --> 03:57:38,399
for the FPS and it was stuttering a
4888
03:57:36,779 --> 03:57:40,319
decent amount and the vram was being
4889
03:57:38,399 --> 03:57:42,479
completely eaten up so maybe we got to
4890
03:57:40,319 --> 03:57:44,699
turn the textures on low and reload
4891
03:57:42,479 --> 03:57:46,020
everything I don't know it was it was
4892
03:57:44,699 --> 03:57:48,420
odd performance
4893
03:57:46,020 --> 03:57:50,520
uh and I would say that the war zone 2
4894
03:57:48,420 --> 03:57:53,160
would need a retesting or maybe look for
4895
03:57:50,520 --> 03:57:54,180
a patch update for war zone two
4896
03:57:53,160 --> 03:57:56,760
um and hopefully we'll see better
4897
03:57:54,180 --> 03:57:59,160
performance but I'm expecting closer to
4898
03:57:56,760 --> 03:58:02,399
90 FPS in that game with this laptop and
4899
03:57:59,160 --> 03:58:06,359
the specs we have here so yeah
4900
03:58:02,399 --> 03:58:08,819
um Can a 140 watt power bank fully power
4901
03:58:06,359 --> 03:58:11,760
this laptop in gaming
4902
03:58:08,819 --> 03:58:14,760
um most likely if you're doing like
4903
03:58:11,760 --> 03:58:17,160
silent mode or maybe performance mode if
4904
03:58:14,760 --> 03:58:18,960
you GPU power limit and CPU power limit
4905
03:58:17,160 --> 03:58:21,359
you should be able to still get some
4906
03:58:18,960 --> 03:58:24,300
pretty damn good performance I believe
4907
03:58:21,359 --> 03:58:27,899
this is only 100 watts of power delivery
4908
03:58:24,300 --> 03:58:28,800
though and I have not tested it so
4909
03:58:27,899 --> 03:58:30,720
um
4910
03:58:28,800 --> 03:58:32,220
at some point maybe that would be a
4911
03:58:30,720 --> 03:58:35,100
great live stream doing a benchmarking
4912
03:58:32,220 --> 03:58:36,359
run with some power delivery to some of
4913
03:58:35,100 --> 03:58:40,020
these laptops to see what kind of
4914
03:58:36,359 --> 03:58:41,819
performance you can get on a uh a USBC
4915
03:58:40,020 --> 03:58:43,739
charger because I believe the power
4916
03:58:41,819 --> 03:58:45,660
delivery can be more spotty depending on
4917
03:58:43,739 --> 03:58:48,840
how everything is set up and it may not
4918
03:58:45,660 --> 03:58:51,060
be like perfect gaming performance with
4919
03:58:48,840 --> 03:58:53,279
a with a USBC but thanks so much for the
4920
03:58:51,060 --> 03:58:54,180
five dollar Super Chat
4921
03:58:53,279 --> 03:58:55,260
um
4922
03:58:54,180 --> 03:58:57,920
hmm
4923
03:58:55,260 --> 03:58:57,920
okay
4924
03:59:00,720 --> 03:59:03,620
foreign
4925
03:59:03,979 --> 03:59:08,460
I believe after DeGrasse that was the
4926
03:59:06,420 --> 03:59:11,279
new Super Chat you were asking right the
4927
03:59:08,460 --> 03:59:12,420
about the 140 watt power bank
4928
03:59:11,279 --> 03:59:16,819
um
4929
03:59:12,420 --> 03:59:16,819
okay I think that covers everything
4930
03:59:17,340 --> 03:59:21,600
oh uh for disassembly just taking the
4931
03:59:20,040 --> 03:59:23,640
laptop apart and upgrade ability we have
4932
03:59:21,600 --> 03:59:26,640
an extra SSD slot on this laptop I love
4933
03:59:23,640 --> 03:59:28,020
that the ram are swappable 16 gigs are
4934
03:59:26,640 --> 03:59:29,279
included though and they're good quality
4935
03:59:28,020 --> 03:59:30,720
Ram probably don't need to upgrade that
4936
03:59:29,279 --> 03:59:32,939
unless you want to go to 32 gigs well
4937
03:59:30,720 --> 03:59:34,020
that's totally fine you can do that
4938
03:59:32,939 --> 03:59:36,359
um
4939
03:59:34,020 --> 03:59:38,220
but yeah everything's upgradable I think
4940
03:59:36,359 --> 03:59:40,560
double-sided ssds are likely going to
4941
03:59:38,220 --> 03:59:42,660
fit in this laptop no problem as well so
4942
03:59:40,560 --> 03:59:44,760
that's also a double thumbs up and
4943
03:59:42,660 --> 03:59:47,819
taking the laptop apart is pretty easy
4944
03:59:44,760 --> 03:59:49,680
because you have the pop-up screw in the
4945
03:59:47,819 --> 03:59:52,979
right corner which makes it easy to pry
4946
03:59:49,680 --> 03:59:55,040
the laptop apart so it was very quick
4947
03:59:52,979 --> 03:59:55,040
um
4948
03:59:55,140 --> 03:59:59,399
can I press the space bar button a
4949
03:59:57,540 --> 04:00:02,840
couple times just checking to fix it
4950
03:59:59,399 --> 04:00:02,840
they fix fix the clacky
4951
04:00:07,140 --> 04:00:11,040
that's what it sounds like I'm pressing
4952
04:00:08,640 --> 04:00:14,760
it really hard pressing it softly
4953
04:00:11,040 --> 04:00:14,760
I don't know okay
4954
04:00:15,600 --> 04:00:19,080
I wonder if it's possible to test 100
4955
04:00:16,979 --> 04:00:20,699
watt power delivery with 40 80 and 49
4956
04:00:19,080 --> 04:00:22,859
laptops that's also a very interesting
4957
04:00:20,699 --> 04:00:24,180
question yeah that could all be a whole
4958
04:00:22,859 --> 04:00:25,260
live stream testing all that out because
4959
04:00:24,180 --> 04:00:27,239
a lot of you guys are probably very
4960
04:00:25,260 --> 04:00:29,580
curious about
4961
04:00:27,239 --> 04:00:31,560
candy game can you like take that to
4962
04:00:29,580 --> 04:00:32,880
college and game on it um with the USBC
4963
04:00:31,560 --> 04:00:35,340
charger which is a lot more portable
4964
04:00:32,880 --> 04:00:37,140
than the full-size power bricks
4965
04:00:35,340 --> 04:00:38,939
okay
4966
04:00:37,140 --> 04:00:40,260
that's it for the live stream thank you
4967
04:00:38,939 --> 04:00:42,420
so much to everyone who asked all the
4968
04:00:40,260 --> 04:00:44,520
questions and uh hopped on the live

stream please drop a like on the live
4970
04:00:44,520 --> 04:00:49,560
stream and a full VOD will be included
4971

on the main Channel sometime soon in the
4972
04:00:49,560 --> 04:00:54,180
next few days so that way uh there will
4973
04:00:52,140 --> 04:00:57,060
be no stuttering and all of that for
4974
04:00:54,180 --> 04:00:59,520
anyone that's if the if the if the live
4975
04:00:57,060 --> 04:01:01,920
stream bot has any stuttering the main
4976
04:00:59,520 --> 04:01:04,140
video will be based on a local recording
4977
04:01:01,920 --> 04:01:05,279
that will have no stuttering so
4978
04:01:04,140 --> 04:01:08,359
