@@Daan-ds2jz Really? Thats great, mine overheats even with the undervolt but i've loved it since i got it. I believe undervolting increases your CPU's longevity. Just a personal opinion.
another magnificent review mate, looking forward to see your review on the coffee lake version(GE63 8RE/8RF), i'm hoping you will get the unit from MSI soon.
No problem! Yeah I wish I tested undervolting, truth is I only gave it a go for the first time a few days ago with the Aero 15x, I've got a video coming out next week showing the differences it made, and was wondering if I should do similar videos going forward, or just briefly mention the results in the full review video instead.
Jarrod'sTech briefly mentioning undervolt results on laptop reviews for sure!. A hole video on undervolting a specific laptop would be nice for one with heat issues or just any laptop with a comunity that tends to undervolt it. Peace ;)
Thanks for letting me know! Yeah I just did a whole video for the Aero 15x as it had issues, I probably wouldn't bother undervolting in the review though unless I had thermal throttling, I guess it depends on the temps.
I got a bit better than that, at least while gaming which is less intensive than stress testing, with an artificial stress test yeah a little boost but still some throttling.
Wow I really like that laptop. Almost every one of its features suits my needs and how you can change every key on the keyboard. I've been looking for one of these for quite sometime. Great video. I just ordered it today!
I actually have the this same exact laptop but mine has More LEDs and has the 8th Gen Intel Processor. I do gatta say that I LOVE it and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Mobile Gaming Station.
Jarrod'sTech The Added LEDs are a very nice touch; They match the LED mode you currently have on the keyboard. Can't wait to see your video review on it! Cheers!!! 👌👌👌
Was just about to comment that this is what I’m camping for, the 8th gen upgrade :D looking forward Jarrod! You know how we eat up these excellent reviews of yours (:
@iamveggie cheers! @derekobs I did not attempt that, sorry. Usually you can just download the update from the site, some allow you to install updates through Windows while other may require you to put it on a USB stick and then update it through an option in the BIOS.
Love your Reviews Jarrod. I have this laptop and to whoever reads it be aware that the inside plastic is very brittle where the screws go in, and also the left side of the screen inside plastic thingy above the hinge has broken just for using it over time :(
It turns out that you still remember Taiwan does not have the same test video as you Thank you very much for your test information I bought it the day before yesterday GE63 Raider RGB 8RF It feels good to use
Thanks! I've been trying to get some HP laptops for a while but haven't had any luck getting in contact with anyone there yet, I'll keep trying, hopefully as the channel gets bigger that sort of thing will be easier!
I actually use this laptop currently. NGL, its the perfect review for the laptop. I use this laptop everyday for gaming and normal use and I've never had the temperatures rise above 82C which is amazing. About the fan noise, I use headphones and i don't hear it anymore.
Yeah fan noise isn't a problem for me at all with headphones so I don't really mind it too much myself, my only regret is I didn't try undervolting to see how it would improve the temps, I've got my first video on that coming next week so I'll look at including it in future reviews
Great review, thanks. Seems to tick all the box's and looks pretty good. Love the keyboard and being S series, say no more. BUT that fan on top speed is the only real con. Boy - TN panels have come a long way.. [ADD] - I watched this while having my lunch and due to the soothing tone of your voice fell lightly to sleep. That fan noise woke me up with quite a start. Lol - just as well.
Cheers! Yeah I've had some impressive TN panels lately, in one of the videos I accidentally called it IPS and had up update the description with a correction 😛 a bit loud yeah but I guess expected with a 1070 in there, would be interested in seeing how the new 8th gen 8750H goes in terms of temps with the extra 2 cores, hopefully I'll find out in a few weeks time!
Great review about the ge63!! I'm still considering the ge63 rgb raider with the gtx 1060 or the 7th gen i7 ge63 raider with the gtx 1070. I'm getting either one at hidevoluton with customization!!
just kidding, i knew you were not a tryharder x) (and HOW THE @#~* CAN SOMEONE REPLYING TO COMS COULD ONLY BE 15K! :/ you are one of the only to do it at this sub range in my list and thats rly cool thx :')
No problem! I'll try to reply to everyone for as long as I can 😃 I imagine it will be difficult one day in the future if I grow bigger, I guess we'll see!
I wish they made a 17.3 inch model with 1070 graphics and 8th gen Intel processor. Great review as always although I wish you did a bit more diversity.
Yeah notifications are always a bit hit and miss, they seem to be experimenting with them from what I've seen/heard, even with the bell checked. I think from their perspective they want to limit the notifications to not spam people, as people then block all notifications from RUclips rather than just a specific creator which ends up worse for everyone. Still, I feel like if someone clicks the bell and says "I want to be notified!" then they should just always get all notifications, but what do I know 😛
Not a laptop for me XD bit too pricey :( I do like the rgb keyboard as the amount of customisation is grea. 120hz panel lools top notch and cooling is a bit standard.
Yeah MSI keyboards look pretty nice, the plastic on the sides is clear so you can see the light easier than others, and the ones with individual key control can give you some pretty cool effects compared to others that just let you control set groups of keys.
I need help for chossing my gaming laptop! What's better between : - MSI ge63vr raider 8rf New Geforce 1060 i7 8750H 15.6 - MSI ge73vr raider 7rf Refurbished Geforce 1070 i7-7700hq 17.3 I will use it mostly for gaming and working...
Purely for gaming the 1070 even with older CPU will perform better than the 1060 with newer CPU, so depends how much gaming power you want. Realistically I think the 1060 is still a good choice for 1080p 60 FPS gaming at high settings in modern games, and even higher if you have a higher refresh rate panel in less demanding games like Overwatch. Also depends on what your work is and whether that would benefit from the extra CPU cores, for instance I do video rendering so the extra cores would help a lot and I'd take them over the better gaming performance that I don't really need.
No problem! I wasn't checking brightness and contrast back when I made this video (probably did it in the newer 8th gen review though) but usually MSI panels seem to have good colour gamut but then look washed out due to low contrast ratio - I think that's generally with their lower models though, from what I recall the ge63/ge73 were ok
watching this on the laptop shown in the video, it was expensive for me (i'm 15) but boi is it worth it! Amazing laptop, almost perfect. Only i would have liked it to be a bit less loud, but what can i complain with a 1070?
Awesome laptop and review. Buuuuut im pretty HYYYYPE because I got my AW17 R4 today! GTx 1070 and QHD 120hz goodness! Jarrod, I want to test my machine to make sure everything is running properly. Especially thermals. Can you recommend me some software? Thanks!!
Thanks! Ooh nice, I just sent my AW13 back today, the video should be up next week 😁 generally for testing I use HWInfo to measure the temperatures, and I use Aida64 for CPU stress test, and optionally also run the Heaven benchmark from Unigine at the same time if you want CPU + GPU load together, heaven is also good for testing GPU overclocks as it usually dies pretty quickly if there's an issue.
Hey Jarrod do you think you could get ahold of any Origin laptops? They are a brand I don't commonly see people doing reviews on (never actually) and are one of the few laptop that support the z370 desktop cpus. Keep up the good work, great content as always.
Thanks! It would depend on whether or not they have a presence here in Australia, as I doubt they'd be willing to ship internationally for a review. I actually think that they might, so I'll look into that, however looking at their laptops it looks like their Clevo based, so would essentially be the same as the Metabox laptops I've got on the channel, I had one of those a few months ago with an 8700K 😁
Considering the heat/noise of this laptop, would you rather recommend the new Dell G5 15 with 1060 max-q/i7 8750h? Though I can get the MSI for the same price as the Dell, so would the gtx 1070 be worth the extra heat/noise, despite being in a 25°C room and on Teamspeak? Love your reviews btw, very clear and to the point!
Thanks! I'd probably pick the 1070 for better gaming performance, as long as you're not throttling I don't really mind if my laptop runs warmer. That said I just got the 8th gen version of the GE63 so should have some updated videos on that model soon too.
This laptop is usually 2599.99 CAD on newegg I got it in sale for 2099.99 with extra rebates. After tax and all it came out to 2184$ CAD which is a steal for a 1070 laptop. I only wish it had better battery life tbh but it's incredible to use.
Yeah I'm really keen to do it, just waiting for my Dell Australia contacts to have them available, they told me they should hopefully have them later in May, although they probably already have them but are prioritizing larger channels is my guess 😛
Thanks! I'll find out if it's available, I only recently got in contact with someone at alienware, I've got my first video of the AW13 R3 coming next week 😀
Mato Vidović I don't mind the screen if I can get a good performance , I have chosen two laptops 1) Asus gl702vs and 2) Acer predator 17 . What do you think ?
I personally liked the Dell 7577, however the Helios 300 is a good choice too - I've got a comparison video between the two. Both are under your price range, this laptop I think is just a bit above it though.
Jarrod'sTech max Q in the dell is surely a downgrade in performance I will rather go for helios in the 15" then but still 17" I will be waiting and and seeing your choice
their's different predator 17, but i would say that if u dont care about 60Hz, something with i7-1060 6go with ssd is good enough, just try to get 16go of ram if u want to play cause it'll be less expensive than add a stick later :) Jarrod suggestions are good and arround 1000€ atm but could drop a bit with the new 8gen cpu maybe wait a little idk
Yeah the specs are pretty beast it should be able to handle that well, there's also the newer 8th gen model (hoping to have a review of that in the future) if you want more power! It's got two extra CPU cores.
Hard to say, basically just pure speculation, from rumours it sounds like maybe new Nvidia cards sometime in next few months, not sure how long it will be before they're also available in laptops though.
I need help... which is better ? This MSI GE 63 VR 7RF with gtx 1070 or MSI GP63 Leopard 8re with the gtx 1060 mean does 7700hq and the 8750h is huge different in gaming performance such as GTA 5? And for long term use does the cpu speed really matters?
Unfortunately I no longer have the laptop, I sent it back after the review. This was also just before I bought a good screwdriver kit so that I could properly open all laptops, I was missing a few different bits before so I couldn't open a lot of them, but now that I have the proper bits I've been showing the internals of all of them, so I'll do that with the new GE63 when I get it hopefully next month.
Just a word of caution for anyone who wants to buy this laptop, i got the same couple of months back and its an amazing laptop, but there seems to be an issue with the keyboard back-lighting. As u know it has RGB back-lighting, after updating the steelseries software two of my keys dont have Green lighting anymore, as in the green led is dead (tested all possible methods to fix it, even contacting MSI...only option is to send it in for service). this seems to be an issue for many users for this laptop and a few other msi laptops.Bit of a bummer as i paid quite a lot, but i guess its not that big of a deal and u can live with it.
Theres a 4k version of this laptop with a 1070 on amazon that im really considering getting, ive kinda narrowed down my search to that or a 120hz ips asus gu501 with a 1060, any input on which to get would be nice.
Went to test this MSI GE63 Raider RGB 8RE (2018 model with i7 8750h) at a shop today (currys pc world uk) and although it did have that sticker with "3ms 120hz Gaming Display (optional)", when I checked it in Windows it was only 60hz and that was the only option available. No 120hz at all. Am I missing something? None of the sales guys at the shop had any clue about this either. What does the "optional" next to the 120hz display sticker on the laptop mean? Why have a sticker that says 120hz on the laptop when it actually works in 60hz? Are you supposed to change it somehow with some drivers (the one I tested already had GeForce drivers and everything installed)? The official MSI website also states this laptop comes with a 120hz. I also noticed reviews from people that bought it saying that is actually only 60hz. Please help, really want to buy it, but only if I can use it at 120hz!
I presume the optional means that it's available with different panels, it's pretty suspicious that 120Hz wasn't an option if it said that it was, I take it the drivers were installed? You could get the model of the panel with a program like HWInfo then google it to see what the specs are to check if it's actually a 60Hz panel or 120 though. It sounds like they just had a 60Hz option on display, but you can buy it with either a 120Hz or 60Hz panel. I've actually got the 8th gen model here and will be doing a review on it in the next few weeks, so will note what panel I have in mine in that video.
Yeah it is, I'm hoping to get one in a few weeks and review it, might also do a comparison so look out for that 😃 from what I've seen I think it has different lighting and of course the newer 8750H CPU.
What are you mostly going to be using the laptop for? If gaming I'd get the 1050Ti, that will make a larger difference in performance in most games than the 8750H in my opinion. If you're doing tasks that actually need more than 4 cores like video editing/rendering though then the 8750H/1050 would be a good choice. I've got a comparison of the 1050 vs 1050Ti here if you're interested in some benchmarks: ruclips.net/video/8aFPl3Qt97w/видео.html
Can anyone help me? I have this laptop exactly and for some reason while running any Shooter or somewhat demanding title for instance fortnite or apex legends I get lower frame rates per second as I lower graphical settings. The max frames I get on max settings are about high 80's. Averages are 60's-high 80's. As soon as I lower just about anything my performance either doesn't move or gets worse. Can anyone help me? I have all updated drivers all installed from the Nvidia website always using a clean install method. I have the Nvidia control panel to globally use the 1070 and Auto or integrated and still no change. I've reset, restarted, reinstalled done just about everything and I find no fix to have my games actually utilize the 120 refresh rate. Please if you have any insight please help. I'm desperate for a solution.
I have the exact same laptop my idle temp is high 40s low 50s and its undervolted with turbo boost disabled. Is that normal or i could have a defect one, even when I'm just browsing the web and watching youtube videos temps rises to 60s
I've seen similar temperatures in many laptops recently because they make the fan speed at idle really low to keep it quiet. You could try increasing the fan speed if you think it's an issue, but realistically that should be fine, it's not particularly hot so can't really think of any issue if you're not overheating which wouldn't happen until high 90s
Never tested the ge62mvr so I can't speak from personal experience. Looks quite similar overall, I'd expect very similar performance with the same specs.
@@JarrodsTech i have one, but it tends to lag or like freezes for a sec sometimes even after installing samsung 970 evo ssd m.2 , specially when playing cs go ...when im like nearby enemy or see an enemy sometimes it freezes which is reqlly annoying ...so can you help me out if itll do me justice buying this one
is it normal for mine draining only lasts like 40 up mins just watching youtube.. The battery basically follows up the duration so i think its nothing wrong.. how do we actually know the battery is really okay or not? thank you sir Jarrod
Sounds quite a bit less than what I was getting with mine, what else is running at the same time? You can check with task manager. If you've had it for a while and have gone through a lot of charge/discharge cycles the battery might just be degraded.
Oh, should be better then. I mention everything I changed in the video, keyboard lighting is off, screen brightness is on 50%, background apps are disabled.
jarrod may i know, if for engineering studies,should i have 16gb ram or 24 gb ram since i already have 8gb stick in my laptop??.which one would you suggest?? (if using software such as autocad n other engineering software)
To be honest I don't personally have any experience with that software, however the requirements note that 4GB is required with 8GB recommended. Are you actually experiencing any issues with it with the current 8GB? Assuming that's just one stick you may get a little boost in some apps by adding a second 8GB stick in as you'll be running in dual channel, but generally if your laptop isn't reaching its current 8GB limit adding more will be negligible in improving the overall performance.
Jarrod'sTech Ooo,because i m planning to upgrade my ram,so i need your opinion because right now i dont have any problem running any software or games (i have core i7-7700HQ n gtx 1070).anyway thanks for your opinion jarrod 🤗
No problem! If it's fine probably no point upgrading, but going to 16GB would be a next best step, the 7700HQ/1070 will be great for a few years I'd say. Most games play fine with 8GB RAM, only a few really need 16GB in my experience.
Would you consider adding Fortnite to gaming benchmarks due to popular demand? I'm in the market for a new laptop, but won't be doing crazy gaming, so it'd be nice to see benchmarks for more games like that.
are the higher fps on games such as csgo, OW, Dota on de dell g5 due to the stronger CPU, and a strong GPU isn't really required to play those games;o?
I haven't really compared the two to be honest, but that could be, I have noticed that the dota replay I use seems more CPU intensive, although people always tell me I'm wrong.
that key board looks just like mine i seen it on ebay wil this keyboard work on the GT62VR? im almost positive it will fit but will the individual keys light up? if anyone has replaced their gt62vr keyboard with one like this please let me know.
Is MSI or Asus better? GE63 2018 version vs rog strix scar edition vs zephyrus m. All have similar specs and price. I dnt even know how to choose. Help me!
I've actually compared this laptop with the ASUS GL503VS Scar here which may help: ruclips.net/video/YBaDTsjfvQw/видео.html basically I thought the ASUS laptop was a bit nicer, but it was about $100 more though. But yeah this is the older 7th gen versions, I haven't tested the 8th gen versions yet, hoping to get the GE63 8RF in a few weeks though! I'll be doing some comparisons with the Zephyrus M once I'm able to get it, haven't tested it just yet unfortunately.
Jarrod'sTech wow u replied so fast. Thanks so much. I have been binge watching laptop reviews but there are so many models with similar specs. Do brands in anyway affect the choice? I'm also curious whether the new models next year will have a huge generation gap? I'm kinda afraid that a new gpu will be introduced.
No problem! Yeah there are a fair few to choose from, better than not having much choice though I guess! It can a bit, sometimes. Personally I don't really care what brand it is, when I pick a laptop I base it off of the laptop itself, but that said some companies will support their product better than others in terms of service/warranty etc so that could be worth considering. There will always be something new just around the corner, we just got 8th gen CPUs so you'll be safe on the CPU side of things, but yeah current 10 series GPUs are about 2 years old now, at this point I'd probably at least wait until Computex next week to see if Nvidia have any news about new models, if not then who knows how long it will be til we see the new stuff, if you need a laptop now might as well just wait, if you can hold off it may be worth it but only because we're so late in the current generation. Just don't do what I did, I kept waiting for 3-4 years before building my new PC haha, in the end I was using 8 year old hardware to edit videos, wasn't going too well because I talked myself in to just keep waiting 😛
HELP! Should I get this or Acer Predator Helios 300 i7-8750H with gtx 1060 6gb? I am using for gaming and as a student, it is for me to use it to do engineering related apps.
This one with the same specs? If so the 1070 will perform better in most games, otherwise the 1060 is still quite decent and the extra CPU cores from the 8750H will probably be more useful for those apps, I have a video comparing CPU differences here that may help: ruclips.net/video/0-reYKQupls/видео.html
Assuming we're comparing the latest 8th gen versions, the G703 seems better in terms of raw specs, you can get it with an i9 CPU and Nvidia 1080, however that makes it quite a thick laptop so not sure how things like temperatures and battery life will go, difficult for me to really say without having tested it myself.
the real issue i have is that i like a nice bright screen. and from what I'm hearing that's not something the msi has to offer. or the asus for that matter. granted I'm just going by what other people say on here. i would love an alienware but it has its own issues. how was ur experience regarding screen brightness?
I don't recall it being an issue, but I always use laptops in a fairly dark room so it's never been a concern for me. I suppose an Alienware OLED screen was a bit brighter, I've got a video with one next week.
Im planing on buying a version of this laptop with a 7gen i5 and 8gb ram. Cheaper and not to compromising for gamming. Only problem is it has no thunderbolt and i like to think that external gpu`s will be a thing. The cheaper way to upgrade I just wanna hear you people say "go for it, external gpus suck" xD
Yeah should be quite good, decent colour accuracy, GPU is more than enough for accelerated rendering, CPU is alright, but personally I'd probably look at the newer 8RF model which has the 6 core 8750H CPU, I should hopefully have one in a few weeks for testing.
Yeah fair enough, to be honest I haven't looked at the pricing yet until I have the 8RF in for review, in any case I think the 7700HQ will still be good for a few years, I've been using the 6700HQ for the last 2.5 years now with no issues.
Oh that's odd, and battery fully charged? What settings are you using? What resolution? Is VSync disabled? What does CPU/memory/GPU resource utilization look like while playing, are any maxed out? All drivers/updates installed?
@@JarrodsTechmy battery is fully charged and for Fortnite i have everything set to low except for view distance i have that in epic and VSync is disabled, for league of legends everything is on medium but shadows are low and VSync is off. I maxed out my CPU and GPU on the Dragon Center app and all my drivers are updated
Does anyone know if more 1440p+ laptop are comming cause ive only seen "premium++ gold xl unlimited GIVE ME UR MONEY edition" like predator 21X but for more than 5k € its not worst anymore so...
Ah yeah that's true! I recently had a 13" Alienware and it was 1440p, but for some reason I didn't consider they make laptops larger than 13" haha, oops!
ah.... but alienware laptop are SOOOOOOOOOO expensive, even with the minimal config without options its not rly worst the money, so with a screen specific option it wouldnt be intersting :/ (thx anyway!)
Hello people, I need some help deciding on what laptop to get for myself. I’m going to 3D/2d animation school & going to be doing some VFX as well. I’ll be on the go quite a bit so building a computer is not an option for me. Preferably one that’s affordable, I was sold on the gigabyte until I looked at the price ($4,000 CDN) not in my wheel house. I have $1,200 of spending money (rest of my money is in my savings account) but I can save up for one if needed. Not exceeding $2,000 for a laptop tho. Any help on a specific laptop or what I need to be looking for while looking for a laptop for my specific uses, would be greatly appreciated!
The Gigabyte Aero 15x I assume? Yeah that's a nice laptop. There's a slightly cheaper and smaller version, the Aero 14, although I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, and it's still fairly expensive anyway. For $1,200 or lower I'd probably look at the Dell 7577, some people have picked it up for $999 or less on sale. It's got a quad core 7700HQ CPU and Nvidia Max-Q 1060 which should be good for 3d accelerated applications. It's also got a thunderbolt port, allowing you to use an external GPU enclosure in the future if you need an upgrade, and the battery life is fairly good if you'll be moving it between classes etc. It's about to be replaced by the new G series laptops which will have up to 6 CPU cores, but realistically I think the 7700HQ is still a good option and will be pretty solid for a few years, up to you whether you want to wait, I think it's launching around now if not already, I should have one in a few weeks for review.
Jarrod'sTech I appreciate the fast reply, I will definitely look into the Dell 7577. I’ll also be waiting for the video about the 6 cores tho, what type of processor would the 6 cores have? Cause I know the i7 quad core is quite fast at rendering compared to the i5 etc. thank you for your help!
Plz answer me , why laptops gameing dont come 4k screen with 120hz ,, Always just 4k screen with 60hz ,,,, or 1080 screen with 120hz why ?,,,,,,, i want 4k with 120hz plzz 🌷🌷🌷
The panel technology just isn't there yet, 4K 120Hz+ monitors are meant to be coming sometime in the next few months, but those monitors are rumored to be over $2000 or so, so it will probably still be a long time before we have that available in laptops. Additionally, no current gen graphics cards can really power 4K at that speed in games, giving it fairly niche uses.
Jarrod'sTech ،، ok ,, but when i have laptop 4k , and when we change resolution from 4k to 1080 in the games , Will it rise Screen Speed from 60hz to 120hz ?, I think the screen frames come from the company and we cant change it ?
Give me a tip Please 🌷🌷,, i have just 2 choices ،،،، laptop *(full hd)* (gtx 1080 120hz) ,,, or laptop *((4k))* (gtx1080 60hz) ,, I want buy at this time What's the best please
I'd never personally buy a 4K laptop for the reasons mentioned in this video: ruclips.net/video/irhdqtVqtrM/видео.html many of the issues can be fixed by setting the resolution to 1080p, and in general 4K panels have better quality in terms of colour accuracy, but otherwise I don't think it's really worthwhile. The Nvidia 1080 at least has a good chance of powering a 4K panel in games though, so depends if you want higher resolution or smoother with higher refresh rate, I'd take smoother personally.
Thanks for letting me know, I usually edit the file so it's a bit quieter, I may have forgotten to do it here. Just checked it, looks like I did lower it, it sits at around the same level as the peaks of my talking, I guess I could try lowering it a bit more, to be honest you're the first person to ever comment on the intro in over 4 million views 😛
In the witcher 3, yes, actual time will vary depending on game and how much resources it needs. I do all my laptop testing on that game, and that's only a little below average, 1 hour is pretty normal. Basically you don't want to game on battery power, performance sucks and it doesn't last, it's a meme.
Sorry, but a lot of people do care, before adding them people requested it in every video, and it doesn't take away from anything, the averages are still there and often I don't really even talk about the 1% lows I typically focus on the averages, they're just there for the people that want them
Compared to a laptop you mean? With the laptop you've got to pay more for battery, screen, keyboard, and everything build into a small space which takes R&D.
@@JarrodsTech no damn this laptop i meant sorry i call em both pc's. I mean its barely 1.5k euro where other laptops of same specs go way over 2k euro. wait thats 17.3 screen www.varle.lt/nesiojami-kompiuteriai/nesiojami-kompiuteriai/msi-ge73vr-7rf-raider-zaidimu-nesiojamas-kompiuteris--7689576.html
Ah right, I guess pricing varies between regions too, though it could be cheaper for a reason! I'm about to compare the GE63 to other similarly specced models that cost more so we'll be able to see differences in performance and get an idea which is more worthwhile.
@@JarrodsTech Watched it and this only draw back is older processor, but thx too that it runs cooler witch is why it runs better under heavy load so i guess that explains price difference thx for great videos

Got this laptop 2 months ago, after undervolting it, its amazing. That 1070 is great. This video helped me choose MSI, thanks bro.
No problem! Good to hear 👍
I have the laptop too, but why would you undervolt? It doesn't trottle or make to much noise for me.
@@Daan-ds2jz Really? Thats great, mine overheats even with the undervolt but i've loved it since i got it. I believe undervolting increases your CPU's longevity. Just a personal opinion.

@@Daan-ds2jz Yes it does. Theres only so much heat a CPU can take. You dont want it to get too hot, it'l reduce the lifespan.
another magnificent review mate, looking forward to see your review on the coffee lake version(GE63 8RE/8RF), i'm hoping you will get the unit from MSI soon.
Thanks! Me too 😁 hopefully in a few weeks with any luck!
Yeah there is, that's the 8RF that we're talking about 😃
Once undervolted, this would be a perfect laptop. Gonna buy the new raider rgb 15” version. Thanks man!
No problem! Yeah I wish I tested undervolting, truth is I only gave it a go for the first time a few days ago with the Aero 15x, I've got a video coming out next week showing the differences it made, and was wondering if I should do similar videos going forward, or just briefly mention the results in the full review video instead.
Jarrod'sTech briefly mentioning undervolt results on laptop reviews for sure!. A hole video on undervolting a specific laptop would be nice for one with heat issues or just any laptop with a comunity that tends to undervolt it. Peace ;)
Thanks for letting me know! Yeah I just did a whole video for the Aero 15x as it had issues, I probably wouldn't bother undervolting in the review though unless I had thermal throttling, I guess it depends on the temps.
I got a bit better than that, at least while gaming which is less intensive than stress testing, with an artificial stress test yeah a little boost but still some throttling.
Correct if im wrong that will equal to max q when undervolt?
Wow I really like that laptop. Almost every one of its features suits my needs and how you can change every key on the keyboard. I've been looking for one of these for quite sometime. Great video. I just ordered it today!
Cheers! Hope you like it 😁
Jarrod'sTech oh ye! Can't wait to try it out!
@@chaoz6097 how is it
@@azizfatima7860 excellent. I love this laptop. This would probably be my second most favorite laptop. Everything's really smooth and fast.
@@chaoz6097 I'm deciding on buying the new version of it with the 8750 h but I heard many people say various complaints against msi
I actually have the this same exact laptop but mine has More LEDs and has the 8th Gen Intel Processor. I do gatta say that I LOVE it and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Mobile Gaming Station.
Oh nice so it must be the newest one that just came out 😁 I'm hoping to get my hands on one of those for review in a few weeks time!
Jarrod'sTech The Added LEDs are a very nice touch; They match the LED mode you currently have on the keyboard. Can't wait to see your video review on it! Cheers!!! 👌👌👌
Was just about to comment that this is what I’m camping for, the 8th gen upgrade :D looking forward Jarrod! You know how we eat up these excellent reviews of yours (:
Hi....,did you upgrade the bios on your laptop??If so then how
@iamveggie cheers!
@derekobs I did not attempt that, sorry. Usually you can just download the update from the site, some allow you to install updates through Windows while other may require you to put it on a USB stick and then update it through an option in the BIOS.
New channel name 'Jarrod's Laptops' haha keep up the awesome work bro, another great video!
Thanks! Haha I was actually thinking about something like that last night based on the amount of stuff I have coming 😛
Love your Reviews Jarrod. I have this laptop and to whoever reads it be aware that the inside plastic is very brittle where the screws go in, and also the left side of the screen inside plastic thingy above the hinge has broken just for using it over time :(
Thanks! and thanks for letting us know!
It turns out that you still remember
Taiwan does not have the same test video as you
Thank you very much for your test information
I bought it the day before yesterday
GE63 Raider RGB 8RF
It feels good to use
No problem, that's good to hear! I should hopefully be getting the 8RF models in a few weeks 😃 can't wait!
Nice laptop. The colour test results were surprising.
Yeah the MSI laptops that I've tested always seem to do quite well in that area compared to others, especially with a TN panel
You have perfectly explained all the stuff in the laptop. please review HP OMEN 15 or 17 or OMEN X laptops.
Thanks! I've been trying to get some HP laptops for a while but haven't had any luck getting in contact with anyone there yet, I'll keep trying, hopefully as the channel gets bigger that sort of thing will be easier!
Most underrated channel in RUclips currently
Thanks! 😀
Good content and presentation, I hope your channel continues to grow!
Thanks!
You deserve more subscribers
Cheers! Hopefully we'll get there one day 😃
Agreed.
I actually use this laptop currently. NGL, its the perfect review for the laptop. I use this laptop everyday for gaming and normal use and I've never had the temperatures rise above 82C which is amazing. About the fan noise, I use headphones and i don't hear it anymore.
Yeah fan noise isn't a problem for me at all with headphones so I don't really mind it too much myself, my only regret is I didn't try undervolting to see how it would improve the temps, I've got my first video on that coming next week so I'll look at including it in future reviews
Great review, thanks. Seems to tick all the box's and looks pretty good. Love the keyboard and being S series, say no more. BUT that fan on top speed is the only real con. Boy - TN panels have come a long way..
[ADD] - I watched this while having my lunch and due to the soothing tone of your voice fell lightly to sleep. That fan noise woke me up with quite a start. Lol - just as well.
Cheers! Yeah I've had some impressive TN panels lately, in one of the videos I accidentally called it IPS and had up update the description with a correction 😛 a bit loud yeah but I guess expected with a 1070 in there, would be interested in seeing how the new 8th gen 8750H goes in terms of temps with the extra 2 cores, hopefully I'll find out in a few weeks time!
Jarrod'sTech lookin forward to that 😎👍
Your reviews are awesome an thorough!
Thanks!
Great video, only thing is, never went inside the laptop to show the components that MSI install, could do that on the 8RF video
I'll keep that in mind for future videos, thanks!
Great review about the ge63!! I'm still considering the ge63 rgb raider with the gtx 1060 or the 7th gen i7 ge63 raider with the gtx 1070. I'm getting either one at hidevoluton with customization!!
Nice! I'm hoping to get the new 8th gen RGB version in a few weeks, I want to do a comparison with this 7th gen version to see how it differs 😁
Good review mate
Thanks!
I've notice in the videos where we can see ur mouse while showing gameplay that ur sensitivity is way to high in OW :D
Haha I just leave the laptop on defaults, I don't personally play that many games so for just benchmarking I don't have any major issues.
just kidding, i knew you were not a tryharder x) (and HOW THE @#~* CAN SOMEONE REPLYING TO COMS COULD ONLY BE 15K! :/ you are one of the only to do it at this sub range in my list and thats rly cool thx :')
No problem! I'll try to reply to everyone for as long as I can 😃 I imagine it will be difficult one day in the future if I grow bigger, I guess we'll see!
i'll keep watch and comment ur video even if u dont answer dont worry, its just a good point :D
Great review.
Cheers!
Love your reviews...waiting for more great video😀😀
Thanks! More on the way 😀
Jarrod'sTech cheers..
When a short name for a laptop isn't cool enough lol
The longer the better!
Great video!!
Thanks!!
cool laptop with that distinct MSI gaming aesthetics :)
Yeah that's for sure!
breaking the "TN panels are bad" meta lulz
I've mistook a few TN panels for IPS lately going just on looks alone 😛
Jarrod'sTech TN panels sure have come a long way 😄
I wish they made a 17.3 inch model with 1070 graphics and 8th gen Intel processor. Great review as always although I wish you did a bit more diversity.
I think they do, check the ge73vr 8rf. What do you mean by diversity, what else do you want to see?
Ah i'm late again silly youtube didn't show me your video pn your channel another great review!
have u the bell enabled with all notification or only normal bell?
Yeah notifications are always a bit hit and miss, they seem to be experimenting with them from what I've seen/heard, even with the bell checked. I think from their perspective they want to limit the notifications to not spam people, as people then block all notifications from RUclips rather than just a specific creator which ends up worse for everyone. Still, I feel like if someone clicks the bell and says "I want to be notified!" then they should just always get all notifications, but what do I know 😛
Not a laptop for me XD bit too pricey :( I do like the rgb keyboard as the amount of customisation is grea. 120hz panel lools top notch and cooling is a bit standard.
Yeah MSI keyboards look pretty nice, the plastic on the sides is clear so you can see the light easier than others, and the ones with individual key control can give you some pretty cool effects compared to others that just let you control set groups of keys.
I need help for chossing my gaming laptop!
What's better between :
- MSI ge63vr raider 8rf
New
Geforce 1060
i7 8750H
15.6
- MSI ge73vr raider 7rf
Refurbished
Geforce 1070
i7-7700hq
17.3
I will use it mostly for gaming and working...
Purely for gaming the 1070 even with older CPU will perform better than the 1060 with newer CPU, so depends how much gaming power you want. Realistically I think the 1060 is still a good choice for 1080p 60 FPS gaming at high settings in modern games, and even higher if you have a higher refresh rate panel in less demanding games like Overwatch. Also depends on what your work is and whether that would benefit from the extra CPU cores, for instance I do video rendering so the extra cores would help a lot and I'd take them over the better gaming performance that I don't really need.
nice video, thank you so much!
Cheers!
100 Srgb? 88 Argb? Thats far better than the ips panels you can find in the market . I think I found my perfect lappy. Thanks Jarrod.
No problem! I wasn't checking brightness and contrast back when I made this video (probably did it in the newer 8th gen review though) but usually MSI panels seem to have good colour gamut but then look washed out due to low contrast ratio - I think that's generally with their lower models though, from what I recall the ge63/ge73 were ok
watching this on the laptop shown in the video, it was expensive for me (i'm 15) but boi is it worth it! Amazing laptop, almost perfect. Only i would have liked it to be a bit less loud, but what can i complain with a 1070?
Good to hear!
Cant wait for the 8 th gen reveiw..
I literally just started running benchmarks on it now 😎 should have a few videos on it coming up.
How are the thermals and fan noise on gaming loads and discord together? Will the fans be loud enough to activate the mic on my headset or no?
I didn't test the microphone with the fan maxed out so cannot say, sorry.
Awesome laptop and review. Buuuuut im pretty HYYYYPE because I got my AW17 R4 today! GTx 1070 and QHD 120hz goodness! Jarrod, I want to test my machine to make sure everything is running properly. Especially thermals. Can you recommend me some software? Thanks!!
Thanks! Ooh nice, I just sent my AW13 back today, the video should be up next week 😁 generally for testing I use HWInfo to measure the temperatures, and I use Aida64 for CPU stress test, and optionally also run the Heaven benchmark from Unigine at the same time if you want CPU + GPU load together, heaven is also good for testing GPU overclocks as it usually dies pretty quickly if there's an issue.
Awesome! Thank you so much, ill get to work!
Hey Jarrod do you think you could get ahold of any Origin laptops? They are a brand I don't commonly see people doing reviews on (never actually) and are one of the few laptop that support the z370 desktop cpus. Keep up the good work, great content as always.
Thanks! It would depend on whether or not they have a presence here in Australia, as I doubt they'd be willing to ship internationally for a review. I actually think that they might, so I'll look into that, however looking at their laptops it looks like their Clevo based, so would essentially be the same as the Metabox laptops I've got on the channel, I had one of those a few months ago with an 8700K 😁
I have this laptop as a workstation, its a good laptop.
That's great to hear!
What a beast!!!
👌
Considering the heat/noise of this laptop, would you rather recommend the new Dell G5 15 with 1060 max-q/i7 8750h? Though I can get the MSI for the same price as the Dell, so would the gtx 1070 be worth the extra heat/noise, despite being in a 25°C room and on Teamspeak?
Love your reviews btw, very clear and to the point!
Thanks! I'd probably pick the 1070 for better gaming performance, as long as you're not throttling I don't really mind if my laptop runs warmer. That said I just got the 8th gen version of the GE63 so should have some updated videos on that model soon too.
Thanks for the quick answer! Amazing how you still answer everyone's questions, despite the video being 3 months old.
No problem!
This laptop is usually 2599.99 CAD on newegg I got it in sale for 2099.99 with extra rebates. After tax and all it came out to 2184$ CAD which is a steal for a 1070 laptop. I only wish it had better battery life tbh but it's incredible to use.
Nice deal! Good to hear it's working well 😃
Will you do a video on the Dell G series?
Yeah I'm really keen to do it, just waiting for my Dell Australia contacts to have them available, they told me they should hopefully have them later in May, although they probably already have them but are prioritizing larger channels is my guess 😛
Awesome review man! Top quality. Odd request, can you review the NEW Alienware 17 R5 with a 1070/1080? Supposedly, they have a new 2.0 cooling system.
Thanks! I'll find out if it's available, I only recently got in contact with someone at alienware, I've got my first video of the AW13 R3 coming next week 😀
Cool, thanks for the info
The video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
And regarding the 17" you said that you didn't review , can you tell some good 15" laptops ?? With a budget of 1500-1600 dollars
Aviral Agarwal depens if u want more than 60fps or not, cause without 120/144hz you can have a rly good laptop if u dlnt care
Mato Vidović I don't mind the screen if I can get a good performance , I have chosen two laptops 1) Asus gl702vs and 2) Acer predator 17 .
What do you think ?
I personally liked the Dell 7577, however the Helios 300 is a good choice too - I've got a comparison video between the two. Both are under your price range, this laptop I think is just a bit above it though.
Jarrod'sTech max Q in the dell is surely a downgrade in performance I will rather go for helios in the 15" then but still 17" I will be waiting and and seeing your choice
their's different predator 17, but i would say that if u dont care about 60Hz, something with i7-1060 6go with ssd is good enough, just try to get 16go of ram if u want to play cause it'll be less expensive than add a stick later :)
Jarrod suggestions are good and arround 1000€ atm but could drop a bit with the new 8gen cpu maybe wait a little idk
Im interested in getting this one for 3d art and rendering, you think this is a good buy for that?
Yeah the specs are pretty beast it should be able to handle that well, there's also the newer 8th gen model (hoping to have a review of that in the future) if you want more power! It's got two extra CPU cores.
@@JarrodsTech sadly that version is not available in my country, and this one is 20% off! so i think im gonna go for this one :)
Would this still be good to use in 2021 if I got one second hand?
Will you do a comparison between the 7700hq and the new 8th gen cpu?
Yeah I will be, I just haven't had the right combination of laptop with dual channel memory yet and same GPU to do it properly 😛
How long do you think are the new range of GPUS out? Should I get a new laptop now or better to wait?
PS: I don't mind waiting.
Hard to say, basically just pure speculation, from rumours it sounds like maybe new Nvidia cards sometime in next few months, not sure how long it will be before they're also available in laptops though.
It isbworth it to buy it now?
I need help... which is better ? This MSI GE 63 VR 7RF with gtx 1070 or MSI GP63 Leopard 8re with the gtx 1060 mean does 7700hq and the 8750h is huge different in gaming performance such as GTA 5? And for long term use does the cpu speed really matters?
In most games you'll see better performance with the 1070 graphics despite the older CPU
Hello there if I use fan control will it affect my cpu or my laptop in general? like 6 hours of gaming a day.
Is the laptop accessible heard its really hard to get into. Can you do a video tutorial of opening it up
Unfortunately I no longer have the laptop, I sent it back after the review. This was also just before I bought a good screwdriver kit so that I could properly open all laptops, I was missing a few different bits before so I couldn't open a lot of them, but now that I have the proper bits I've been showing the internals of all of them, so I'll do that with the new GE63 when I get it hopefully next month.
Cane u play with out the power brick on this laptop I'm planing off buying this month
Sure but there will be less performance, no battery is capable of providing the same level of performance as while plugged into AC power.
Just a word of caution for anyone who wants to buy this laptop, i got the same couple of months back and its an amazing laptop, but there seems to be an issue with the keyboard back-lighting. As u know it has RGB back-lighting, after updating the steelseries software two of my keys dont have Green lighting anymore, as in the green led is dead (tested all possible methods to fix it, even contacting MSI...only option is to send it in for service). this seems to be an issue for many users for this laptop and a few other msi laptops.Bit of a bummer as i paid quite a lot, but i guess its not that big of a deal and u can live with it.
That sucks, haven't heard of that issue before, thanks for sharing your experience 👍
What would you personally choose: Msi gs65 or Gigabyte Aero 15
Hard to say as I haven't used the GS65 yet, I'll do a video on this once I've been able to use it 😀 should hopefully get it in a few weeks
Subbed
Welcome!
hello sir. how can your battery lasts long for 3 hours 10 minutes?
My test was just from watching RUclips at 720p non stop, it would likely last longer doing less, or drain quicker doing more.
Theres a 4k version of this laptop with a 1070 on amazon that im really considering getting, ive kinda narrowed down my search to that or a 120hz ips asus gu501 with a 1060, any input on which to get would be nice.
Depends if you need the extra resolution I guess, personally I'd never buy a 4k laptop, but I have two other videos on that topic 😛
Jarrod'sTech Thanks, great review by the way
No problem, cheers!
Went to test this MSI GE63 Raider RGB 8RE (2018 model with i7 8750h) at a shop today (currys pc world uk) and although it did have that sticker with "3ms 120hz Gaming Display (optional)", when I checked it in Windows it was only 60hz and that was the only option available. No 120hz at all. Am I missing something? None of the sales guys at the shop had any clue about this either. What does the "optional" next to the 120hz display sticker on the laptop mean? Why have a sticker that says 120hz on the laptop when it actually works in 60hz? Are you supposed to change it somehow with some drivers (the one I tested already had GeForce drivers and everything installed)? The official MSI website also states this laptop comes with a 120hz. I also noticed reviews from people that bought it saying that is actually only 60hz. Please help, really want to buy it, but only if I can use it at 120hz!
I presume the optional means that it's available with different panels, it's pretty suspicious that 120Hz wasn't an option if it said that it was, I take it the drivers were installed? You could get the model of the panel with a program like HWInfo then google it to see what the specs are to check if it's actually a 60Hz panel or 120 though. It sounds like they just had a 60Hz option on display, but you can buy it with either a 120Hz or 60Hz panel. I've actually got the 8th gen model here and will be doing a review on it in the next few weeks, so will note what panel I have in mine in that video.
I don't know why MSI refuses to include Thunderbolt 3 on anything but the GS or GT models.
Not sure, adds more cost perhaps? Not sure what's involved in adding a thunderbolt controller / licensing etc
The 8th gen model of the same laptop has also been released recently. How's that different from this one?🤔
Yeah it is, I'm hoping to get one in a few weeks and review it, might also do a comparison so look out for that 😃 from what I've seen I think it has different lighting and of course the newer 8750H CPU.
Please help should i get 7700hq with 1050 ti or new 8th gen 8750h with non ti 1050 ?
What are you mostly going to be using the laptop for? If gaming I'd get the 1050Ti, that will make a larger difference in performance in most games than the 8750H in my opinion. If you're doing tasks that actually need more than 4 cores like video editing/rendering though then the 8750H/1050 would be a good choice. I've got a comparison of the 1050 vs 1050Ti here if you're interested in some benchmarks: ruclips.net/video/8aFPl3Qt97w/видео.html
Try make a video whit gv62 7rd
Hmm depends on availability here, at the moment my priorities are the new GS65, then the 8RF version of this, I'll try find out after those though!
Ok
Can anyone help me? I have this laptop exactly and for some reason while running any Shooter or somewhat demanding title for instance fortnite or apex legends I get lower frame rates per second as I lower graphical settings. The max frames I get on max settings are about high 80's. Averages are 60's-high 80's. As soon as I lower just about anything my performance either doesn't move or gets worse. Can anyone help me? I have all updated drivers all installed from the Nvidia website always using a clean install method. I have the Nvidia control panel to globally use the 1070 and Auto or integrated and still no change. I've reset, restarted, reinstalled done just about everything and I find no fix to have my games actually utilize the 120 refresh rate. Please if you have any insight please help. I'm desperate for a solution.
MSI GE63VR 8RF Raider or MSI GE73VR 8RF Raider
Please!
I'm hopefully getting one in a few weeks! I'll be looking at doing a review of it and possibly a comparison with the 7RF.
OK! thank
I have the exact same laptop my idle temp is high 40s low 50s and its undervolted with turbo boost disabled. Is that normal or i could have a defect one, even when I'm just browsing the web and watching youtube videos temps rises to 60s
I've seen similar temperatures in many laptops recently because they make the fan speed at idle really low to keep it quiet. You could try increasing the fan speed if you think it's an issue, but realistically that should be fine, it's not particularly hot so can't really think of any issue if you're not overheating which wouldn't happen until high 90s
This or msi ge62mvr dominator pro gtx 1070 ? Please i need help
Never tested the ge62mvr so I can't speak from personal experience. Looks quite similar overall, I'd expect very similar performance with the same specs.
@@JarrodsTech i have one, but it tends to lag or like freezes for a sec sometimes even after installing samsung 970 evo ssd m.2 , specially when playing cs go ...when im like nearby enemy or see an enemy sometimes it freezes which is reqlly annoying ...so can you help me out if itll do me justice buying this one
How many sticks of memory are you running, single or dual channel?
@@JarrodsTech dual channel, 16gb
is it normal for mine draining only lasts like 40 up mins just watching youtube.. The battery basically follows up the duration so i think its nothing wrong.. how do we actually know the battery is really okay or not? thank you sir Jarrod
Sounds quite a bit less than what I was getting with mine, what else is running at the same time? You can check with task manager. If you've had it for a while and have gone through a lot of charge/discharge cycles the battery might just be degraded.
actually just bought it yesterday tho.. are you turning off the RGB keyboard and even set down the brightness to minimum?
Oh, should be better then. I mention everything I changed in the video, keyboard lighting is off, screen brightness is on 50%, background apps are disabled.
jarrod may i know, if for engineering studies,should i have 16gb ram or 24 gb ram since i already have 8gb stick in my laptop??.which one would you suggest?? (if using software such as autocad n other engineering software)
To be honest I don't personally have any experience with that software, however the requirements note that 4GB is required with 8GB recommended. Are you actually experiencing any issues with it with the current 8GB? Assuming that's just one stick you may get a little boost in some apps by adding a second 8GB stick in as you'll be running in dual channel, but generally if your laptop isn't reaching its current 8GB limit adding more will be negligible in improving the overall performance.
Jarrod'sTech Ooo,because i m planning to upgrade my ram,so i need your opinion because right now i dont have any problem running any software or games (i have core i7-7700HQ n gtx 1070).anyway thanks for your opinion jarrod 🤗
No problem! If it's fine probably no point upgrading, but going to 16GB would be a next best step, the 7700HQ/1070 will be great for a few years I'd say. Most games play fine with 8GB RAM, only a few really need 16GB in my experience.
Would you consider adding Fortnite to gaming benchmarks due to popular demand? I'm in the market for a new laptop, but won't be doing crazy gaming, so it'd be nice to see benchmarks for more games like that.
he does on other laptop, maybe this review is older than those
Yeah I've started including that recently, I think this was this last video I made without tearing it so you should see it more going forward 😀
😍😍
😍
are the higher fps on games such as csgo, OW, Dota on de dell g5 due to the stronger CPU, and a strong GPU isn't really required to play those games;o?
I haven't really compared the two to be honest, but that could be, I have noticed that the dota replay I use seems more CPU intensive, although people always tell me I'm wrong.
that key board looks just like mine i seen it on ebay wil this keyboard work on the GT62VR? im almost positive it will fit but will the individual keys light up? if anyone has replaced their gt62vr keyboard with one like this please let me know.
I'm not actually sure, sorry, I have no experience swapping out keyboards with any MSI models.
Is MSI or Asus better? GE63 2018 version vs rog strix scar edition vs zephyrus m. All have similar specs and price. I dnt even know how to choose. Help me!
I've actually compared this laptop with the ASUS GL503VS Scar here which may help: ruclips.net/video/YBaDTsjfvQw/видео.html basically I thought the ASUS laptop was a bit nicer, but it was about $100 more though. But yeah this is the older 7th gen versions, I haven't tested the 8th gen versions yet, hoping to get the GE63 8RF in a few weeks though! I'll be doing some comparisons with the Zephyrus M once I'm able to get it, haven't tested it just yet unfortunately.
Jarrod'sTech wow u replied so fast. Thanks so much. I have been binge watching laptop reviews but there are so many models with similar specs. Do brands in anyway affect the choice? I'm also curious whether the new models next year will have a huge generation gap? I'm kinda afraid that a new gpu will be introduced.
No problem! Yeah there are a fair few to choose from, better than not having much choice though I guess! It can a bit, sometimes. Personally I don't really care what brand it is, when I pick a laptop I base it off of the laptop itself, but that said some companies will support their product better than others in terms of service/warranty etc so that could be worth considering. There will always be something new just around the corner, we just got 8th gen CPUs so you'll be safe on the CPU side of things, but yeah current 10 series GPUs are about 2 years old now, at this point I'd probably at least wait until Computex next week to see if Nvidia have any news about new models, if not then who knows how long it will be til we see the new stuff, if you need a laptop now might as well just wait, if you can hold off it may be worth it but only because we're so late in the current generation. Just don't do what I did, I kept waiting for 3-4 years before building my new PC haha, in the end I was using 8 year old hardware to edit videos, wasn't going too well because I talked myself in to just keep waiting 😛
HELP! Should I get this or Acer Predator Helios 300 i7-8750H with gtx 1060 6gb? I am using for gaming and as a student, it is for me to use it to do engineering related apps.
This one with the same specs? If so the 1070 will perform better in most games, otherwise the 1060 is still quite decent and the extra CPU cores from the 8750H will probably be more useful for those apps, I have a video comparing CPU differences here that may help: ruclips.net/video/0-reYKQupls/видео.html
pretend money isn't an issue and try to decide between this and the asus g703. thoughts?
Assuming we're comparing the latest 8th gen versions, the G703 seems better in terms of raw specs, you can get it with an i9 CPU and Nvidia 1080, however that makes it quite a thick laptop so not sure how things like temperatures and battery life will go, difficult for me to really say without having tested it myself.
the real issue i have is that i like a nice bright screen. and from what I'm hearing that's not something the msi has to offer. or the asus for that matter. granted I'm just going by what other people say on here. i would love an alienware but it has its own issues. how was ur experience regarding screen brightness?
I don't recall it being an issue, but I always use laptops in a fairly dark room so it's never been a concern for me. I suppose an Alienware OLED screen was a bit brighter, I've got a video with one next week.
awesome news. I'm curious about how the cooling has improved
Im planing on buying a version of this laptop with a 7gen i5 and 8gb ram. Cheaper and not to compromising for gamming. Only problem is it has no thunderbolt and i like to think that external gpu`s will be a thing. The cheaper way to upgrade
I just wanna hear you people say "go for it, external gpus suck" xD
Yeah external graphics definitely gives you an easy expansion option in the future! Sorry to not give you what you were after there haha
Jarrod'sTech hahaha np. Thanks for the reply. Why i cant just buy stuff?what is this need for informed buying xD
You can buy what ever you like any time 😁
Msi GE63 8RE or gigabyte Aero 15 ?
Personally I really like the aero 15x, but I haven't had the 8RF yet to compare against, hopefully can get it in the future and do a comparison
I'd definitely jump on it if I didn't have responsibility's, here in UK the price is outrageous.
Btw great review!
Thanks! Maybe the price will drop in the future as the newer 8th gen version is out
Jarrod'sTech once it drops I'll definitely be getting it's checked all the boxes for what I'm after, keep up the good work mate.
Cheers 👍
This or the 8RE version (1060 GTX 6gb)?
It's the 7RF, hopefully I should get the 8th gen version in a few weeks!
hi
is this lap top good for VIDEO EDITING ?
Yeah should be quite good, decent colour accuracy, GPU is more than enough for accelerated rendering, CPU is alright, but personally I'd probably look at the newer 8RF model which has the 6 core 8750H CPU, I should hopefully have one in a few weeks for testing.
that will cost to much money but thanks for the help
Yeah fair enough, to be honest I haven't looked at the pricing yet until I have the 8RF in for review, in any case I think the 7700HQ will still be good for a few years, I've been using the 6700HQ for the last 2.5 years now with no issues.
fantasic
I have this laptop and when I play league of legends and fortnite I'm getting 40 - 70 fps
Sounds a bit low, is that on battery power or while plugged into power?
@@JarrodsTech Plugged in
Oh that's odd, and battery fully charged? What settings are you using? What resolution? Is VSync disabled? What does CPU/memory/GPU resource utilization look like while playing, are any maxed out? All drivers/updates installed?
@@JarrodsTechmy battery is fully charged and for Fortnite i have everything set to low except for view distance i have that in epic and VSync is disabled, for league of legends everything is on medium but shadows are low and VSync is off. I maxed out my CPU and GPU on the Dragon Center app and all my drivers are updated
Honestly not too sure then 🤔 unless you have the same laptop but with lower specs?
What's the price
I talk about it near the end of the video 😃
Does anyone know if more 1440p+ laptop are comming cause ive only seen "premium++ gold xl unlimited GIVE ME UR MONEY edition" like predator 21X but for more than 5k € its not worst anymore so...
I haven't come across very many at all yet myself, usually all 1080p or 4k, hope someone can give you some suggestions!
Mato Vidović
Alienware offers 1440p in 60 and 120hz variants. You can configure one on their website.
Ah yeah that's true! I recently had a 13" Alienware and it was 1440p, but for some reason I didn't consider they make laptops larger than 13" haha, oops!
ah.... but alienware laptop are SOOOOOOOOOO expensive, even with the minimal config without options its not rly worst the money, so with a screen specific option it wouldnt be intersting :/ (thx anyway!)
GE75 time now Jarrod
It's here, just need time to test it out
@@JarrodsTech ah. 😎. I just picked one up after saving up for a long time. 🤓
Laptops have some strange names lol. That rgb keyboard boosts cpu speed 2x
I have heard that! Nice new profile pic 😎
Jarrod'sTech Thanks
Hello people, I need some help deciding on what laptop to get for myself. I’m going to 3D/2d animation school & going to be doing some VFX as well. I’ll be on the go quite a bit so building a computer is not an option for me. Preferably one that’s affordable, I was sold on the gigabyte until I looked at the price ($4,000 CDN) not in my wheel house. I have $1,200 of spending money (rest of my money is in my savings account) but I can save up for one if needed. Not exceeding $2,000 for a laptop tho. Any help on a specific laptop or what I need to be looking for while looking for a laptop for my specific uses, would be greatly appreciated!
The Gigabyte Aero 15x I assume? Yeah that's a nice laptop. There's a slightly cheaper and smaller version, the Aero 14, although I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, and it's still fairly expensive anyway. For $1,200 or lower I'd probably look at the Dell 7577, some people have picked it up for $999 or less on sale. It's got a quad core 7700HQ CPU and Nvidia Max-Q 1060 which should be good for 3d accelerated applications. It's also got a thunderbolt port, allowing you to use an external GPU enclosure in the future if you need an upgrade, and the battery life is fairly good if you'll be moving it between classes etc. It's about to be replaced by the new G series laptops which will have up to 6 CPU cores, but realistically I think the 7700HQ is still a good option and will be pretty solid for a few years, up to you whether you want to wait, I think it's launching around now if not already, I should have one in a few weeks for review.
Jarrod'sTech I appreciate the fast reply, I will definitely look into the Dell 7577. I’ll also be waiting for the video about the 6 cores tho, what type of processor would the 6 cores have? Cause I know the i7 quad core is quite fast at rendering compared to the i5 etc. thank you for your help!
The i7-8750H seems to be the most common of the new 6 core CPUs, there's also the 8850H but I've only seen that in really high end models so far.
Only gigabyte aero series that proves laptop is for every one
What do you mean?
Plz answer me , why laptops gameing dont come 4k screen with 120hz ,, Always just 4k screen with 60hz ,,,, or 1080 screen with 120hz why ?,,,,,,, i want 4k with 120hz plzz 🌷🌷🌷
The panel technology just isn't there yet, 4K 120Hz+ monitors are meant to be coming sometime in the next few months, but those monitors are rumored to be over $2000 or so, so it will probably still be a long time before we have that available in laptops. Additionally, no current gen graphics cards can really power 4K at that speed in games, giving it fairly niche uses.
Jarrod'sTech ،، ok ,, but when i have laptop 4k , and when we change resolution from 4k to 1080 in the games , Will it rise Screen Speed from 60hz to 120hz ?,
I think the screen frames come from the company and we cant change it ?
It will stay at 60Hz unfortunately, if you want 120Hz you'd have to get a 1440p/1080p panel.
Give me a tip Please 🌷🌷,,
i have just 2 choices ،،،،
laptop *(full hd)* (gtx 1080 120hz) ,,,
or laptop *((4k))* (gtx1080 60hz) ,,
I want buy at this time
What's the best please
I'd never personally buy a 4K laptop for the reasons mentioned in this video: ruclips.net/video/irhdqtVqtrM/видео.html many of the issues can be fixed by setting the resolution to 1080p, and in general 4K panels have better quality in terms of colour accuracy, but otherwise I don't think it's really worthwhile. The Nvidia 1080 at least has a good chance of powering a 4K panel in games though, so depends if you want higher resolution or smoother with higher refresh rate, I'd take smoother personally.
Jarrod'sTech ,,, ohh let me say✋ ~ thank u very very much ،
I'm lucky because I'm one of your followers .
No problem at all! 😃
I think you should do without that custom intro or lower the volume so it matches your voice.
Thanks for letting me know, I usually edit the file so it's a bit quieter, I may have forgotten to do it here. Just checked it, looks like I did lower it, it sits at around the same level as the peaks of my talking, I guess I could try lowering it a bit more, to be honest you're the first person to ever comment on the intro in over 4 million views 😛
Haha, I don't hate on it, though, don't get me wrong. I still enjoy your videos as much as when I first watched them :D
No worries, I'll try adjusting it in future (although some videos are already exported and scheduled so might be a while before you see any changes 😛)
No problem, I can always skip the intro if necessary, can't wait for the new videos!
Have you tried this laptop with an oculus rift?
Nah I haven't unfortunately, I don't own any VR equipment.
Do rog have better build quality than msi???
I'd rate them both around equal, honestly depends on the specific model but I don't really think of one as better than the other overall.
Finaly after 6 years I able to buy this laptop 😂,
Soo you tell me that i can gaming only 47 mins?
In the witcher 3, yes, actual time will vary depending on game and how much resources it needs. I do all my laptop testing on that game, and that's only a little below average, 1 hour is pretty normal. Basically you don't want to game on battery power, performance sucks and it doesn't last, it's a meme.
@@JarrodsTech oh ok thank you
my question Does it run minecraft?
Should run pretty well on those specs, haven't tested it myself though but you can check other benchmarks on the 7700hq/1070 hardware combination.
The MSI GE62VR might be a bit better for price
Yeah maybe, haven't had a chance to look at that one myself yet.
Bro, please stop showing 1% low , no one care, and It's so confusing...
I really like your videos and i really like you
Sorry, but a lot of people do care, before adding them people requested it in every video, and it doesn't take away from anything, the averages are still there and often I don't really even talk about the 1% lows I typically focus on the averages, they're just there for the people that want them
Why is a pc with such specs so cheap
Compared to a laptop you mean? With the laptop you've got to pay more for battery, screen, keyboard, and everything build into a small space which takes R&D.
@@JarrodsTech no damn this laptop i meant sorry i call em both pc's. I mean its barely 1.5k euro where other laptops of same specs go way over 2k euro. wait thats 17.3 screen www.varle.lt/nesiojami-kompiuteriai/nesiojami-kompiuteriai/msi-ge73vr-7rf-raider-zaidimu-nesiojamas-kompiuteris--7689576.html
Ah right, I guess pricing varies between regions too, though it could be cheaper for a reason! I'm about to compare the GE63 to other similarly specced models that cost more so we'll be able to see differences in performance and get an idea which is more worthwhile.
@@JarrodsTech Watched it and this only draw back is older processor, but thx too that it runs cooler witch is why it runs better under heavy load so i guess that explains price difference thx for great videos
No problem!
YES FINALLY I AM FIRRRRSTTT!!!
😎
It costs 500€ wtf
Sounds pretty good
Jarrod'sTech nvm the deal is gone rip
The GF75 thin with gtx 1050ti max q was 600€
Jarrod'sTech its back on sale again. I want sth fur university. Im thinking of GS GE or GF
Probably a scam
