[@vzuzukin]

MSI should offer more OLED/miniLED models like nearly everyone else

[@JarrodsTech]

Isn't it mostly ASUS pushing OLED? Don't think others like Lenovo or Acer are on it yet either. I think the main problem is 16" gaming panels aren't available yet, so the move away from 15" prevents it for now.

[@GewelReal]

I hope the Mercedes comes with that MSI laptop tho

[@cameronbosch1213]

Mercedes Benz, what's next; BMW?

[@GewelReal]

@@cameronbosch1213 yeah, a laptop with massive intakes at the front

[@Nafeels]

Kind of wished MSI didn’t just stop at Alpha. It would be sick if Delta gets a refresh/upgrade with new gen AMD Advantage.

[@SubKiller]

There’s also bravo, Charlie and foxtrot

[@manifestationofjason4726]

The alpha 17 should've had the 4080/4090 as well But it's only up to 4070, sounds like a waste

[@suprememaxpayne]

A video showing the tiers of each laptop families per manufacturer could be very useful.

[@vncube1]

Was really hoping for a R9 7940HS version of the Stealth 16. Such a svelte, beautiful gaming laptop deserves a lean, efficient APU!

[@bfish9700]

I think all the Phoenix is going to OEMs who more traditionally do AMD designs: Asus, Lenovo, etc.

[@ctorange]

It also deserves more than 8GB of vram, which it is sadly limited to. The last two generations of the GS66 had 16GB options, but not this, for some reason.

[@Supcharged]

@@bfish9700 all three of them

[@diorocks5858]

[@BCSpikeFM]

I'm interested in any device that has a 7945HX. That CPU seems perfect for workstation tasks on the go.

[@arditm2178]

yeah, it's literally 2xperformance 7940HS in heavy duty tasks... Great for desktop replacement, but not a portable laptop.

Can you review the new MSI bravo CV7s? They seem cheap and well speced, with a 105 watt 4050 (lowest end) instead of the 45 watts.

[@ishansingh306]

Hey I am palnning to buy a laapyop and confused between Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 with i5 13500HX rtx 4050 or Asus F15 (2023) with i7 12700H rtx 4060. The key difference is one Acer hasve DDR5 RAM and Asus Have DDR4 ram. Which one would be better for gaming at 1080P Ultra settings. Please Help.

[@natinaga82]

What is more powerful i9 13980hx or razen last one. For havey gaming and editing??

[@shahangilani]

3:10 got excited for the amg laptop but was disappointed to hear it doesn’t come with the car 😢

[@lucaschiang7670]

Hey welcome to Taipei!!

[@inconsistencyon]

hope that the new trackpad is sturdy, should be very costly if its one with the chassis when it breaks if someone is careless enough

[@saturnotaku]

We've had laptop/car co-branded products before like the Acer Ferrari and Asus Lamborghini so MSI Mercedes isn't completely out of left field.

[@hogman3543]

That start engine is nice

[@sermetyilmaz]

Vector GP68 HX I wonder if you have a chance to review this model soon?

[@arky9002]

Shame on Msi for not including the 7945hx in the titan!

[@SSRedeemed]

When will you review the 2023 Asus Zephyrus G14 with the 4080 or 4090?

[@TheCgOrion]

The new TouchPad looks fantastic.

[@remykamermans5544]

No 18 inch options from MSI yet? I feel they missed the ball on that this year as other offer 18 inch in there high end machines.

[@tehpigez7551]

It'd be nice if the smart touchpad was more adjustable than how it seems to be in the video. Like, custom touchpad sizes and positioning. It'd probably require them to put a full monochromatic display under there but I can see it being a thing on the absurdly expensive Titan laptops

[@JarrodsTech]

Currently, it has two sizes, the full size and smaller when the shortcut keys are present. As far as I'm aware the positioning can't be changed.

[@tehpigez7551]

@@JarrodsTech For my use case it seems to be fine, I may pick this up once it releases. I have a left-handed friend who prefers his touchpad wayy over to the left side (he uses an external touchpad just because of that) and since the touchpad is no longer limited by the physical surface It'd be nice if they expanded the sensor area to the full panel so that people could change the position at will.

[@NinjaKirikoJedi]

I"m more interested in the Alpha with ryzen cpu too. Last year high end goes for ryzen, why this year everyone goes back to Intel and ryzen only in lower end models?

[@vikey9140]

Vector 68 is one love.

[@georgepeppas]

Will you test the alpha 17 7945hx?

[@beyioku]

Can you do a review on the new legion slim 7 (gen 8)

[@kartiw95]

When are they being released

[@fireoil]

GP are the one i would upgrade my almost 10 years old MSI GT 60 but i want to go see what that Alpha have and maybe jump into AMD since my Nvidia's GPU burned so fast and lack of driver update ( only 6 years for my GT model, witch i replaced the burned GPU by another OEM one but year by year since 2019 i loose feature and can't play new games ! )

[@_Avaz_]

Bro I have question: I have a lenovo ideapad 3 with geforce mx 350 and I don’t know what gpu temperature is safe for my laptop? Please tell me if you know😊

[@JarrodsTech]

I am not sure about MX, but normally Nvidia thermal throttle limit is 87c. It's not worth spendig any time worrying about, even if it's hitting the limit there's no danger - that's the point of the limit.

[@shahji8093]

Nice video! Looking foward to see Acer and Lenovo laptops. Mostly on the difference between the new Helios 16 and the new Helios Neo 16. And how they compare to 2022 helios 300, I'm on doubt if it's worth paying more for the new Gen.

Hey Jarrod, Long time viewer, and a laptop enjoyer for 15 years now. Really interested in having full amd laptop, as currently I'm rocking Ryzen 9 5900HX with 3070. Unfortunatelly, lack of dedicated amd gpus in laptops is something that was hindering me back in 2020/21 and I dont see that things are improving. What would you recommend to look for gpu wise? Something in class with 3070 TI for example. Im looking for 25% boost from 3070, if amd even has anything like that? I dont mind waiting for 2 or 3 more years or even buying second hand laptops, in around 1700euros range.

[@teddym2808]

If they have a USB 4 port, and since freesync is actually FREE, if they have at minimum a freesync premium monitor so LFC works and in with all APIs, then it might be one to go for. But it must have those 2 things, the former only being a maybe because it's AMD and even ASUS aren't offering it on their 2023 Zephyrus Duo. Edit, Oh never mind, only up to 4070, not even a consideration.

Price literally doesn’t matter when you can’t even buy virtually any of the god damn machines these days and the past 3 years. Nothing is EVER in stock anywhere and it’s not like there is 1000000 people lined up to drop 4k on these things so it’s just shadow selling and artificial limited supply

[@leonvr1806]

Beamng drive can be a good stress test

[@FoxxFire]

Another laptop with the highest end Ryzen chip in a dated design. Yeah the Alpha 17 is now in a more premium chassis, but still an outdated chassis with a 16x9 display. I haven't seen yet a 7945hx in a newly-designed laptop chassis with a 16:10 display. Why? I'm guessing AMD's supply will be so low that these OEMs figure the best way to sell our dated design is to put the best chip in that dated design knowing a few people will still buy the outdated design for the new chip alone. If that chip was in the higher end, new designs I'm guessing it would sell out to quick?

[@MegaAce042]

Pretty decent laptops from MSI, bummer that they're not updating the GS66

[@ctorange]

They have made something called the stealth 15, which uses a similar chassis, but it only goes up to the 4060. It's kind of a cheaper version of the old GS66.

For example in 2015 With 2000 dollars or euros you could buy a super workstation and right now with the same amount you can buy a medium range laptop. Prices are stupid and they're not in line with performance or quality.
