I’ve had the delta 15 for about a month now and I’m blown away at it. I recently had the Acer Predator Helios 300 for 2 years and that was an amazing laptop. The delta is soo much better I get significantly more frames and it’s much thinner and a little bit smaller but what I’m really impressed about is the cooling. I’ve tried and I can’t push the gpu or cpu to 90c and the battery life is phenomenal. My only complaint that the usbc doesn’t support charging so if you’re going to the office or class you do have to bring the brick

Alright, I think this is exactly what I was looking for. Great battery life, portability, and great performance compared to the 3050ti laptop I was looking at in comparison. I'm willing to sacrifice not having 100% sRGB for my photo editing since it's still in the high 90%. I'll just plug my laptop into my pro-art display for a final review before I export images. Best buy has a pretty great price at $1300.

[@sportschool3537]

I think it's not worth buying an AMD GPU laptop yet... wait a few months until more come out and get one with a MUX switch... these ones are not giving you the full power of those GPUs... 6700m is a 10GB VRAM gpu and it will absolutely trash 3060 laptops and their 6GBs of VRAM with a MUX switch cause it will disable the integrated graphics and use the full capacity of the GPU... same with 6800m which is a 12GB VRAM laptop and when you connect it to an external screen through the 3C plug that connects to the GPU and bypasses the integrated graphics it blows almost all the 3080 laptops almost completely out of the water while they cost over 1000$ more than the Asus G15 Advantage... All I'm saying is that if you wait a bit you can buy the same product but it will give you A LOT more performance for your money just by paying a hundred or two hundred more $ for the MUX switch... That's my logic of course... but I do strongly believe that these first ones are not worth it because they're good laptops but with hardware inside that could make GREAT laptops...

[@Syko1985]

@@gamingdragon1356 that's true, I love the battery life and portability of it. I just thought with amd trying to compete with Nvidia they would have tried to keep the prices low.

[@gamingdragon1356]

@@Syko1985 I don't know but the 6700m is technically competing with the 3070 so it's good for a mobile 3070 competitor I guess. But since none of AMD GPU's have a mux switch the picture distorts as such the asus Amd Strix advantage edition laptop doesn't have the mux switch as well but with a ram upgrade and an external GPU the 6800m = 3080 in 1080p while being about 6 percent behind in 1440p while beating many low powered 3080's. So maybe the 6700 may have better performance with an external screen as well. Which is why AMD thinks it deserves the price. Again we don't even have the benchmarks on RT with FSR on AMD GPUs. The laptop scene is really fuzzy.

[@Scott-PNW]

I can attest to this laptop overheating. I just got the Delta 15 with the 6700M two weeks ago and I had to drop the performance down to medium and increase the rpm of the fans. It was odd that the CPU was not hitting high % usage, but it was still overheating (in New World). I haven't tried the laptop in other games yet (only have played on it for a few hours). I was getting 93+ temps for both CPU and GPU prior to this and it shut off twice. The first time it wasn't sure what happened, until I felt how insanely hot certain spots were. The second time told me I didn't adjust the settings enough (I was still on high performance but with the fans cranked up... wasn't enough). After my changes I can keep the GPU and CPU below 90.

[@jorge199612z]

Same here. The high temperatures of the laptop are insane, 95C +. I also had to lower the performance so that the laptop does not have these temperatures, and I am in temperatures between 65 and 75 C. In some games, the performance drops more than in others. At least Warzone, it runs 123 FPS with high graphics and temperatures of 69 C or so. In other games if it goes much lower.

When it comes to graphic cards, they do not behave the same way while gaming as they do when editing video or something else. In gaming you have very rapid changes that you may not have editing a photo. A 3D animations are a different story. If you have a large 3D simulation that you created in solidworks or autocad it may not require such rapid frame changes but will require something else. I very much enjoy this channel but have found that 95% of content is gaming related. I personaly use my laptop almost exclusively for enignnering and never play any games. So it would be a great idea if Jarrod could make a video about this kind of laptops, or at least give us some guidelines as what to look for in an enginnering laptop.

For a Zephyrus competitor I find this screen and built quality kinda lacking. If prices are similar I would pick G15 1440p 165hz panel with almost 100% (95 or smth) dci-p3 rather than this 1080p panel with 70%, but to each their own I guess.

[@sp0el]

@@grihoriko8800 yeah, I find Zephyrus laptops better as well. But there aren't that many slim designs (they exist, e.g. Legion has slim laptops this year as well, but are harder to come by than normal versions), so depending on the pricing and availability, this could compete. For real, though. Why all other laptops can try to emulate macbook's simple design, but gaming laptops can't? Just put your components into a simple, bulky chasis from a 2011 15-inch Mac Pro, improve air flow (but please, don't use honeycomb shapes for it :/) and it should be fine.

@@sp0el because Macbook-style design is not really good for gaming laptop. The closest we can get is Razer Blade, and even then they only look similar to Macbook on the outside (the internal is vastly different, with Razer having to implement vapor chamber to cool it properly). When you choose the style over the cooling system, chances are the laptop will get overheat/throttled very quickly. Multimedia/ultrabook can get away with overheating because not many users will run both CPU and GPU at high load for a long duration. Gamers however constantly put the pressure on hardware

[@grihoriko8800]

@@ucle9955 I dont know, but imo m16 have a great style AND a good cooling system so you wont be getting more than 85 degrees on your CPU under very heavy load.

I built my desktop with a r5 3600, rx 5600xt and 32 gb ram for about $400, used it for 1 and a half years, and sold it for $500. The specs in this are better and I got it for basically free. I love my desktop and have built and sold atleast 50 pc's over a span of 2 years, but I am going to be living in a camper and cannot use a desktop setup in it, so this laptop was a great deal. I always take care of my tech, don't mind buying used because I know how to repair and upgrade my tech. I will be upgrading the OS from windows 11 to windows 10 pro with debloats, and adding storage. The only downside is in the desktop you can get super cheap HDD mass storage used, got a 8tb HDD for $60, 3tb hdd for $4, with laptops these days you cant really do that as this only has 2 nvme slots, and nvme although being way faster is also incredibly expensive in comparison to HDD's. I torrent so much from games to movies and am able to because HDD storage is so damn cheap. But I can't really do that when the cheapest 2tb nvme you can find is $80 before tax while a 8tb HDD is $70 after tax on ebay. Oh well with laptops you are paying for convenience unlike desktops which are amazing for upgradibility, thermals, and price. Desktops are way better value, and I always talk shit on laptops and prebuilts, but depending on circumstance sometimes you have to use what you can. I will still be building and selling used desktop PC's because I absolutely love it, but from now on my main rig will be the very thing I despise the most about PC's, prebuilt and laptop lol

I have this laptop had it for over a year now and it has been a damn good computer

[@chanccs4103]

I still have no idea why MSI offers only 1 year warranty for MSI DELTA. This is what worries me the most as I think that after 1 year of usage, problems would occur any second.

[@cheddle88]

Can the laptop maintain the 'Quiet' profile performance while running on battery?

[@randomesteven3935]

I feel like the only true issue holding me (and maybe some other people) from jumping onto buying this laptop is the fact it has flipped mobo. As you have pointed out, having faster x8 memory is quite important these days and to my knowledge, opening it up and checking the sticker is the only way to tell. Furthermore, I don't like OEMs putting in slow PCIe 3.0 SSD which is why having easy access and options is important for me. I would be speccing out the lowest I can get, like a 8GB+512GB storage option and then I'd use the money saved to upgrade with my own drives and larger RAM as that's sometimes a cheaper option than outright buying the 16GB +1TB. Other than that, the MSI Delta 15 is truly shaping out to be a reasonably worthwhile buy

[@seriouscurious9218]

Hi Jarrod huge fan of the channel! Planning to buy my first laptop and im torn between the lenovo legion 5 (3060m) and this one since it’s on sale for 1299 would you recommend this over the legion 5 for the current sale price? Also worried about the thermals. More power to the channel!

I was in the same boat but ordered the MSI given the current sale. What did you end up with?

Me too im wondering what one should i get

Sir why is that acer Predator Helios 300 not included for any of the benchmark test ? I've seen a lot of videos but none of them included the Predator Helios 300 . I don't know why.

[@pneuma23093]

Love the review and that T-shirt Jarrod!

[@davey_tones]

Hey Jarrod, I'm looking to upgrade my ram on my delta 15 and I was looking in the BIOS and didn't see an option to enable docp. when you changed the ram did it auto enable? not sure if im missing something. docp is usually under overclocking in the msi bios, but that tab wasn't present and couldnt find it in the advanced mode either.

Hi Jarrod from Chicago and thanks for a great video review! I tried the advanced Bios keys but nothing changes. Is the a specific sequence or pattern how to do it?

current pricing favors the strix advantage edition with the 5900h + 6800m if youre wanting an all amd laptop wonder how low theyll drop in the upcoming months

just got this laptop today. great laptop so far, however, i can't get the MSI Center to function properly. it wont download/update any of the features and wont let me open any tabs. IE featured tab, my profile image, not even the settings icon will open anything. very confused!

[@appleicatpromax7069]

Thanks for the comprehensive and entertaining review :) Definitely gonna consider this one.

[@bakagamingcommentary]

good to see msi improved their delta laptop from last generation hot mess. now only if they make a more premium laptop and fully unleash the hardware.

[@ucle9955]

A GS66 with AMD solution would be superb. But for now MSI still reserve their most premium design for Intel + nVidia (kinda weird since they're pushing a lot of full AMD models since last year)

[@jmills4313]

That deal with having to plug back into ac after you swapped the ram ...I think is an msi thing. I have a gt62 that's the same way. Anytime you unplug the battery from the motherboard I think you have to do it. Sometimes after using the cmos reset switch i have to do it too

It really is a huge issue. I had one for a year and the hinges started breaking after a few months and been using a monitor for it. Tho I bought an Acer Predator Helios 300 on Best Buy with 3070ti for $1299 and works way better than this.

i literally just got this and im having trouble with stupid control msi center half the time i cant even download the features and ends up crashing its so frustrating

[@Itowle9]

Yeah I have this and a legion 7 slim I am currently testing to see which I like better (both were same price) with the MSI I was confused how to properly update all the AMD software, firmware, drivers, etc. There were so many options on MSI website and I just wanted one simple tool to detect my hardware and apply all the required updates. This wasn't the case and I don't know what I have to do to make it run/perform its best. Even in silent mode the fans seem to get loud at Idle but that could be windows 10 bloatware background processes. Overall I think I like the Legion 7 slim better even though the 3060 is slightly weaker than the 6700m.

[@LowkeyySailor]

@@Itowle9 yeah the control center is just complete garbage I had to reinstall like 2-3 times before it actually functioning somewhat . And the “auto” cooling for user option is just bad I was getting 85 degrees for gpu and cpu for gaming but find turbo cooling best option imo which kept my both cpu and gpu at a 65-75 degrees. Other than that I find performance to be rlly good for the cost of a terrible command center when you first set up computer
