High end laptops are here, and you can actually get them. What do you think of this model, would you get one?

[@rizkallnew2015]

Can you help me I have a msi ge 76 Raider laptop, I bought it new, but when I play hard games the battery percentage drops even though I connected the laptop to the charger, I asked for technical support and they told me this is normal, but I am not convinced and I feel that the battery will run out or the device has a problem Have you encountered this problem?

[@CETechTips]

@@rizkallnew2015 Yes I have seen it as well, the battery supplements the power. Not something to be overly concerned with. You would need a pretty long gaming session to run it dry.

[@BTC-pt3br]

What do you think of MSI GE76 Raider with RTX 3060 ? I did not see a review of it by you.

[@jasonsaidhi]

N even after 4 months no one has heard from him

[@Bread4828]

I'm getting one of these supposedly from my college for game design online, i7 with the 3080 and 16gb of ram

[@keithmartinot2755]

That lightbar looks so cool! Great addition and seems to be executed well. Can't wait to see how it performs

[@CETechTips]

You and me both!

[@normananderson8910]

How does the computer (MSI GE76) deal with video editing on the likes of Adobe Premiere Elements? Also How well does it handle Windows Office Suite?

[@thefisherman4380]

new bios and you can undervolt it, and if you get new ram to xmp ram and enable xmp in bios, you will see another beast, i went from 122 fps in shadow of the tomb raider to 141 and 139 fps in far cry 5 and 90 fps in vahalla on the higest settings no custom profile :)

[@KaozVirtus]

What happened to the side physical buttons that we could press? Why did they remove them? Why is there no max fan button?

[@U3sune]

i'm waiting to receive my Msi Ge76 10ug next week with i7 10870 , rtx 3079 , 32gb of ram ,1 ssd nvme

[@CETechTips]

Nice let me know how yours is once you get it!

[@firatbulbul]

hello what is the current price i will buy from msi ge76 and it looks like 1400 dollars on amazon rtx 3060

[@Zionesify]

Hey, I hope things are well! Looking forward to you uploading something soon!

[@blue-se3kc]

The way you held it around gave me massive anxiety

[@GerryReid]

Keyboard is great also fans are quiet but never turn off , great heat management, 300 hz screen is actually very nice colours and fast

[@CETechTips]

Thanks for sharing I agree. 👍

[@extraction120]

Hi, I saw you have recommended Alienware m15 R3, Triton 500 & legion 7i for architectural softwares (AutoCAD, Sketchup, Revit, photoshop etc) from your previous videos. Could you please tell me are these still a good choice for 2021 as well? What i have in mind so far is Triton 500 Thank you in advance!!!

[@CETechTips]

I would do the Alienware R4 now, it is stellar.

[@extraction120]

@@CETechTips Thanks for the quick response!

[@arthur_ltrte]

Hello ! I need your advice, I hesitate between two pc, either the alienware m15 or the msi ge66. I don't know which one to take, I saw that the msi was easily damaged, is it true? Is alienware more robust over time? which one will you choose?

[@CETechTips]

I would lean towards the m15 myself. I am bringing in a m15 R4 for review later this month. I have not heard of easy damage on the MSI. If you are careful you should be fine. The m15 you need to max out the memory from the start, since the memory is soldered onto the board.

[@arthur_ltrte]

@@CETechTips Thank you for your advice, I admit that I look more at the m15 too, especially for the build quality and style. Looking forward to your test on the m15 r4 !

[@fishsticks407]

Love these videos, would be cool to have some background music if you're able to add it in, a suggestions would be ''The Corpse Rises'' by Scientist, though copyright is a real pain from time to time, but anyways, good job! You've helped with some of my decisions.

[@CETechTips]

Thanks for watching I'll look to add some tunes in the future.

[@at7860]

wow, the metalic finish looks amazing. Also, great first impression. I like how u always have a natural vibe and calming voice when making these vids

[@CETechTips]

Thanks, glad you like the video! I appreciate the kind words.

[@Lakamakashaka]

the back of the laptop looked nice

[@williamcohen3351]

No doubt powerful PC. This is not practical to carry on airplane. When you add in the weight of the PC plus the power brick you are talking about carrying close to 10 pounds. Okay portability for transporting from place to place in a car. Like the 1080p camera. What does this PC sell for? Good unboxing review.

[@CETechTips]

Thanks, it is really is heavy. I was able to get this model in for $3600 CAD.

[@williamcohen3351]

@@CETechTips Ouch!! I mean it for the price and also the weight.

[@Rei-ww3ko]

So I need advice, I’m moving off to college and I’m leaving my pc here at my house. However I plan on buying a gaming laptop that will support me throughout college. Any advice on which gaming laptop would be the best? My budget is up to $800 USD.

[@CETechTips]

Hmm, that is a tight budget, if you can stretch it I would look at the Asus F15 with a 3060. Otherwise you could look at a deal on a 20 series.

[@mr.terrible7415]

When you coming back

[@kuneda777]

2:35 yah no welcome and windows user comfiguration somebody touch your laptop broh. and some fingerprint prove that. but hey the laptop still look new, so a little kindness for seller is ok.

I donot know why this happen to me ? Can u help me if there is something i should do to turn on my laptop

[@CETechTips]

Your charger might be defective, especially if it is not getting the charge light on the laptop.

[@ashkister]

Just doing some 'youtube' shopping. Was planning to upgrade my laptop but need to save up more. Good unboxing and straight to the point!

[@CETechTips]

Thanks!

Where’s the charging port?

[@method6803]

No review?

[@GerryReid]

I replaced my broken alienware m17 r4 with this could not be happier, better in every way except for a lack of windows hello which I miss

[@CETechTips]

Nice that is great to hear, I want to bring in the R4s see how they are.

[@kamitube351]

Man, been a lot of time since we've seen you, hope you're fine. Just a little concerned

[@CETechTips]

Yep still around d, just haven't been making video later, super busy at work and working in building a new house. I might be able to come back to this once the other side calms down. Thanks for checking in.

GE76 or GF75 to buy ?? I am confused

Nice I'll need to bring that in for testing. What wattage is the card?

Just order the Dash with a 3070, see how it is.

I think the card is 80 watts

[@CETechTips]

@@bluupbrr286 ouch don't pay that

[@bluupbrr286]

@@CETechTips ohh yeah, definitely. Its better to not game at all than to pay that much premium for some satisfaction. The whole msi lineup is quite expensive this year in my country. They are selling their laptops at MRP while asus are giving discounts as much as 700 USD on their series. I am going to wait for some more releases this year, probably till September. Maybe msi will limit their prices by then. If not then i ll probably go with asus. Also, i am completely aware that the GE66 is absolutely out of my league, i was probably hoping to get a GP66 for some extra performance than the asus lineup this year.

[@CETechTips]

@@bluupbrr286 interesting, I don't have anything from Asus yet, all coming soon right now. MSI is all I could get my hands on. I am hoping the pricing gets better. The performance price for the 3080 is much better than 2080 of last year. I could get any 2080 for less than $3000 CAD. 3080 is around $2800 to $2900.
