Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “You’ve Never Seen a Laptop Do THIS…”.
Wow i like that. What do i do next? My goodness? Gracious! My goodness gracious! My goodness gracious! My goodness gracious! My goodness gracious, my goodness gracious! It’S cooking hot outside, but it’s even hotter inside, because we got the latest gaming laptops from rog and it’s not just one laptop today. It’S actually not just two laptops today, i think there’s some cool crazy merch inside this box as well. What do they call? This ultimate fan gift collection.
Yes, we have two gaming laptops latest and greatest i’m talking, rtx type stuff, i’m talking rtx, 3070 and 80 represented in a 16-inch gaming laptop and a 17-inch gaming laptop. These are the hottest things in the world right now, they’re even hotter than it is outside in the toronto region at the moment, because they’ll play all your games, i’m talking all your games. This is the zephyrus. S17. Go big stay slim, that’s what they say in the documentation, holy cow! Look at this look at this they’re, giving me an experience.
Logo glossy pull tab. They thought about the channel unbox therapy; okay, all right wow! I like that. What do i do? Next? My goodness? Gracious, my goodness, gracious you go up to the left. You go up to the back triggering this mechanism which lifts the laptop, which is also a precursor to the mechanism living inside the hinge of the laptop so you’re getting a little foreshadowing for your purchase here.
You’Re feeling special you’re feeling fancy and exclusive for purchasing. So, yes, it is actually fairly fairly slim rtx 3080 inside i’m tempted. This is the only other piece inside the packaging. That’S gon na be your power, kick what you also can use it as a little stand. What oh i use, i can use the box as a stand for my angle of attack, get out of town multi-purpose multi-function, that’s an added little thought right. There, extra cooling, it’s a thought right there. This is your power unit and we are looking at 280 stinking watts, the most important portion of any unboxing video on a fresh new gadget. It’S gon na be the plastic unwrap.
Obviously, oh, yes, very nice! Now this i can tell you with the plastic on there. This is cool to the touch, we’re talking metallic components, all the way around ssd times, three holy cow 11th gen intel core i9 11900 h up to 48 gigs of ram. My model, i believe, has 32 installed. You have a choice of different displays: g-sync enabled qhd 165 hertz three millisecond and a 4k 120 hertz option.
Three millisecond 17 inch panels either go resolution or you go refresh it’s up to you, but it’s kind of nice to see even 120 hertz in the 4k model because i do enjoy pixels. I do happen to be a pixel peeper. The way i’ve been described in the past and that’s a fine thing to be, actually it’s totally see that their part number comes up with there. That is a 1tb.
Ladies and gentlemen, m.2 samsung unit holy cow get out of town. That is a this is a beast in front of me. I don’t know if you’re gon na configure it that way, you will pay a few dollars for such a thing. We have three 1tb nvme m.2 ssds in this absolute beast cowabunga.
We also have the most important characteristic rtx 3080 and, as we look around the device, we’re gon na see a lot of opportunity for connection points, two usb ports, a full-size sd card slot, which, as you know, we use a lot around this particular studio. Our power input a full size, hdmi port, ethernet jack, another usb, a port thunderbolt 4 times two. Oh and you can charge over this thunderbolt as well.
If you choose to and then a analog audio jack is there as well? We flip up, we remove and how about the matte black finish on the inside. I tell you what and you see how the keyboard comes into a nice ergonomic position on the lift and we got a little key travel in there as well. I, like this dedicated scroll for multimedia.
We have our power switch up in this location. Here, speaker units look to be along the back side. This is going to help out with cooling as well as i lift this up. You see how we actually create some space in here now.
The bezel is quite thin on either side and they have fit that front-facing camera on the top edge. I also like this little nub here for helping you lift the display. It’S a nice full-size keyboard number pad. Is there as well direction buttons over here, and this is like a smooth, almost like rubberized feel but still cool to the touch i got ta say probably. My immediate takeaway here is minimalist, which isn’t always the case on rog devices, but this can fit in that can fit in. For me, like that, can i can find a home for me. It can do the rgb thing. It can do the the gamer thing, but then it can also take it down a notch and do the executive thing. It’S really got both working for it. That’S the zephyrus s17 gx702.
But you know we got another box down there. Okay, so maybe not quite as cool there. I say you lift up this portion and then that lifts up the laptop itself, this one has that perforated back and likely. This is going to showcase certain graphics, as it has in the past with their other devices.
So the power brick did fit in here and it’s quite a bit more slim. In this case we have wait a second 240. What was the other one yeah 280 versus 240, but it does man. It saves you quite a bit of thickness on there.
It’S still going to be a dedicated dc connector, though i’m pretty sure you can charge this one over your type c connector as well. If you choose alright plastic time, similar finish going on matte black cool to the touch 11900h i9, we have one ssd and in this case it’s a 512, so the other one has been specked, maybe more as a workhorse as well like. I can see easily doing video editing and content creation, as well as gaming, with three terabytes of fast storage, so this one is the world’s first qhd 165 hertz, three millisecond display, with four-sided super narrow, bezels, a 94 screen to body ratio. I mentioned previously rtx 3070 with liquid metal thermal compound, which sounds fantastic to me, and a 90 watt hour battery with thunderbolt 4 power delivery.
They claim that the 16-inch display on this model is fitting into a 15-inch chassis, your memory, it’s similar. It’S up to 48 gigs, depending on your configuration, so moving around the device usb type, a a micro sd card slot, instead of a full size, sd like we had on the other one, here’s your dc input or charging full size, hdmi again, full size, ethernet, usb Type a and then there are your thunderbolt 4 ports, including the power delivery on this particular port, and then you have your headphone output at the very front which is kind of nice. Actually i just thought about that. You place that right there.
Now your headphone travel. You can use one of those short headphone cables and you’re right there. It doesn’t have to reach over there. Okay, we lift it up.
And yes, it is very, very slim bezels over there you have the similar action and in this case the keyboard portion is not exclusive of the remainder of the laptop deck. So when i lift this one up, the entire deck is elevated off of the surface. As a whole, it also kind of jumps up in front of the lower bezel.
So when you look at it at an angle, it’s the screen to body ratio even seems more aggressive than it is because the chin is completely out of view. Once this portion jumps up in front of it and it’s able to dip down like that, also i’m noticing that this model has a tremendous range of motion so normally on a gaming laptop, it’s going to stop around here, but this one just keeps going. So we have our front-facing camera up there, which they’ve had to shrink it way down. It also looks like it probably has windows hello in order to get it into this tiny little bezel on the top edge keyboard once again, super minimal, which i appreciate, but still full size. Of course, on this 16 inch model there is no number pad, as there was on the previous one.
The last box for us to look at is the special box. I have no idea what is in here. It is a complete surprise. They call it the ultimate fan: gift collection, the old box in a box trick.
Look at this definitely for the ultimate fan. We have some special edition patches we have mask covers what proned out stickers and um a mask i’ll demo it for you real quick. Am i uh mortal kombat ready? Oh look at this dear rog citizen. We got a special messaging and signatures from the important people.
We have a hat as well republic of gamers, okay and what is this a towel because we’re getting all been all fired up mid game, so i can pat down mid competition very important stuff, the rog towel wow. That is exclusive right. There. Oh wait! There’S more than one thing that fell down in there couple of extras, moe’s gon na be a fan of this.
This is rog playing cards mo, never misses a playing card and a little message here from rog our mission by innovating products that offer an exceptional experience for gamers. We can create a world without limits. It’S like got like this 8-bit kind of style to it, and oh i like it, it’s like 8-bit style. I mean we got the rocket ship king to the moon.
Of course, like some of them are classic, but then a few of them have some different design elements to it. That’S a cool joker card. Look at that! Last but not least, rog building block whoa get out of town, we’re talking little lego like building block.
