Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This laptop is BEASTLY. – MSI CES Laptops Showcase”.
We’Re here at CES 2024, except it’s not CES, and it’s not 2024 yet because MSI has brought the show to us early and they sponsor this video we’re going to check out a bunch of their brand new laptops – and I am super excited about this. Incredibly specific worlds: first, this right here is the world’s first seamless RGB haptic touch pet. We have seen many of those things before, but not all of them together, so they get the first. This laptop is incredibly beastly, and I know that because it has a 400 W charger. I have never seen something this powerful before and particularly it’s not even that big in the past. They have to have two bricks for a laptop like this, but not anymore, with a power brick that chunky.
You know that we have some real, powerful components in this thing, which of course, we do an i 94900 HX, which is 24 cores, two of which can go up to 5.8 GHz and then all of the peak course can go up to 5.2 in a laptop. That’S this big like it, it is heavy, if I’m honest, it’s it’s very far from light, but like has that in a 490 into it, the total wattage of this thing is 270 watts, and I have no clue how they have been able to tame that we’ll Find out very soon, though first it has a cherry keyboard in it could MSI have fixed their keyboard woses. I think the sound says it all just can. Can you hear this like? Oh yeah? Oh it’s just as satisfying as it sounds. This is genuinely a fantastic keyboard and I am really happy that they have it on here, but I’m even happier that I get to take it apart.
There we go before you look in there, don’t don’t look. I want to direct your attention to these feet. Instead of you know just having a small little foot like they have here in the back, they got Fancy with it and they have these little mountainous feet with gaps underneath. So air can actually go in here around the feet.
There’S much easier ways to do this, but I really appreciate that they didn’t do those in here. We have some really impressive, upgrade ability. We have three ssd’s in here, one of them’s pcie Gen 5, the other two are Gen 4 and we have four sodm slots. So right here we have got our Ram. This one right here has a total of 64 GB. Here we have just a single at 5600 megga transfers per second love to see it there’s even some fun little graphite pads in between all of them. Look at that in here we can also see 99.9 wat battery, as is expected in something this large and Wi-Fi 7, but why we actually came in here is this Vapor chamber look at the size of it? It goes all the way up here over to there down around the corner. I have never seen a vapor chamber that massive before I thought for a second, that it was three Vapor Chambers here here and here, but they tell me no, it’s one Vapor chamber. All of this is just shared, also have a little chipset cooler there. These massive fans look at how thick those are Andrew in here we can see the speakers, so we have one woer there, one wer on the back, I’m not totally sure, but I’m guessing. It’S done so that the force of those two cancel each other out, and we have a little speaker here.
So your high notes are going to bounce off of your tables into your ear and then it’ll sound a lot wider than it just being speakers on the top of a laptop. That’S my guess, though I didn’t kill it fantastic. They can continue this tour, but what they can’t continue is me knowing how good their mini LED display is.
So this will only be coming with ultra D mini LED display at 120 HZ, but this engineering sample sadly, does not have that panel, which is too bad because the best screens that we’ve seen this year were mini LED, but also the worst one that I saw Was also mini LED so we’ll see how well MSI does in the future. Maybe it’s good, I hope so just kidding turns out. We can look at it right now. Msi has brought us their new stealth 18, which also features the mini LED panel. We were able to figure it out for sure by using a backlight test and being able to see sort of the artifacts that you get from a mini LED panel, not that they’re really artifacts just some little bit of blooming. Okay, MSI didn’t really want us to do this comparison, but we are anyway here: we’ve got their new mini LED panel compared to their OLED panel, and the first thing you cannotice is just this one is way brighter. The mini LED is so much brighter than the OLED, but also it is so much less reflective. This has a nice m display on it.
I don’t know if you can see like the lights in the background and stuff on the OLED, but this right here, nothing at all. What we can see is a little bit of blooming around like the edges of objects. It isn’t just the pitch black like you. Can see on this OLED, but man they have done a really good job with the dimming zones on this mini LED display.
So uh, I’m happy to say that based off my eyeballs, without any labs, testing or stuff that this mini LED panel will be in the top tiar of what we’ve been seeing and not those bottom ones. Once you’re done admiring. That panel, though, you are going to be drawn to the speakers, they have these incredibly fancy grills down here. It’S like the burmister system, you’d find in a Mercedes and let’s just see how well they’ve done.
Okay, not bad, not bad same sort of thing. Two speakers four woofers in this guy right here here and it is pretty darn loud. I do have to say this is also a good opportunity to see this mini LED display and, like these crabs are just so bright. I love it.
This right here is also in a P3 color space, so everything’s a little bit over saturated, but I’m guessing. We can change it to the correct color profile in the menu they’re nodding. Yes, yes, we can nice now, of course, this thing being much thinner and lighter than the Titan is also not quite as powerful have 185 wat TDP.
But now we have to talk about Intel. This right here has the Intel Ultra 9 processor, which is series 1. Not to be confused with series 14, which they are selling at the same time, it is different and apparently on a new process.
Node called Intel 4, which you might think is 4 nanomer, but it’s actually 7 nanometer. But this thing has a bunch of really cool AI stuff in it and it supports a whole bunch of apps with functions that actually make a lot of sense. Having AI stuff already built in for let’s say upscaling in Lightroom, noise suppression and audacity, AI, green screening and OBS, that is really cool. They do have like your standard. Ai features like your noise suppressions and your switching of modes automatically in here too, but seeing all that stuff that Intel has integrated into a bunch of other apps makes it feel much more useful to me all of which to say that they have managed to get An Intel Core Ultra 9 185h and a 490 into a laptop that weighs just 2. Let’S say 2.8 kg or 6 lb, okay, 6 lb doesn’t sound so light uh again: Titan Titan, Titan, 18-in laptop whole kilogram on it, 8.03 PB, okay, the final thing that MSI is super proud about.
I am talking just over the moon about with the stealth that they have ambient RGB for the keyboard. If you look here, not only is there RGB for every single key, but if you don’t want all of those lit up, they have a little strip in here. That gives you ambient light for your keys. So if the RGB on each individual key is too bright for you, you can still see your keyboard in the dark, with just this right here very cool. What I think is the coolest, though, is the new cyborg 14 and it’s translucent chassis. Look at that. I absolutely love that companies are having fun with plastics again, and this right here is such a neat little guy. They have had the cyborg series out for a little bit.
This is the first time that it comes with a 14in screen, and I think this right here is going to be a laptop. That makes a lot of sense to a lot of people. This is expected to drop for around $ 800. They don’t have finalized pricing.
Yet, and for that you get a 13th Gen processor and a 4 350. This thing right here also is really nice and light. Where did my scale go? We are talking 1.6 kg 32 lb. That’S actually quite reasonable to have in your backpack, it’s so cute.
It’S so nice at these laptops that once we’re, I don’t want to call it cheap cuz, it’s not cheap, but it’s pretty inexpensive compared to like the Titan that we have here. It feels really good when did MSI get so good at building laptops like like. Like look, I’m actually like reefing on this, this is really low in your tear and it’s not flexing at all. The only metal on this thing is the back panel, but they had me fooled thinking that this right here is metal as well. It’S pretty darn nice. This thing comes with a 1200p 144 HZ panel and not the kind of IO problems that you will see on some other smaller gaming laptops. We got USB type, A type c display port, but doesn’t look like Thunderbolt h, HDMI, 2.1, fulls, sizee ethernet and, on the other side, one more type, A and headphone microphone combo Jack. I am super excited for final pricing of this thing, just like I’m excited, show you their professional laptops. Here we have msi’s Prestige, laptops which you might have already seen cuz the Embargo already dropped when this releases, but I haven’t seen before this my first time seeing them right here we have the prestige 16 and the 13, and the incredible thing about both of these Is MSI claim they will each do 16 hours of continuous video playback, which is just a crazy amount of time for your battery to last so this this 13-in, we we did see this last year, but it has a 75w battery.
In this thing, it is only 2.14 lb, that’s under a kilogram yeah 973 G with a 75w battery – and this guy right here has has a 99.9 W hour battery, and it is this thick like. I can just hold this with one hand: no problem really nice and light and comes with up to a 4070. Now it is only a 65 watt TDP on that 4070 and the MSI guys were like.
Oh some people were complain. That’S really impressive for how thick this thing is like look at how much heat sink. They have heat sink, there heat sink there there and there around the side and all of this grading so that a laptop of this size can be that powerful. This thing comes with a core Ultra 7155 H processor, one of the things that’s kind of surprising about this. One is just the number of holes in it. Like we’ve got emitter emitter that gets you. Your windows, hello, facial recognition. We have our webcam right there with a nice little shutter and we have two microphones there and one down by the keyboard by having all three of these at once and their fancy AI noise cancellation, whatever apparently they’re able to figure out who’s in front of the Laptop to the side of the laptop behind the laptop and you can sort of using Ai and maths and stuff figure out exactly where the user is and just block out everyone else. If you want to or have the allall talk, if you feel like it, it’s AI, It’s Magic. It is a little beast and we’ve already seen this OLED panel looks fantastic. Just like it’s fantastic that MSI sponsored this video thanks.
Guys, MSI also gave us early access to their new gaming handheld. The claw msi’s brand new first ever Intel Core Ultra powerered handheld gaming, PC with a 53w hour battery up to 1 TB of storage, an inclusion of a thunderbolt four port. There is a lot to love and be excited about with this bad boy.
We didn’t have much time with the unit before having to return it to MSI, since it was one of only two prototypes at the time of filming, so we did get to lab test. It or go in as depth as we were hoping to, but that’s only for now stay tuned, so we can get a final retail version in hand and get some full coverage on it. So if you guys like this, video hit like get subscribed and just have a great old day, I’ll see you later, maybe actually in Vegas next time, .
