You don't need to hope, it will be so in the near future. Sooner than you think. Because by the time 8TB SSD costs $200, there will be new 1-5 PB SSDs with read/write speeds of over 50GB/s.

I still wish to maybe someday see a remake of the acer predator 21x, just to see how crazy can a laptop become with full mechanical switches and a curved screen (maybe an oled flat screen that can curve?) And just an absurdly thick case to top it all off

[@TheRogueAdventurers]

Using that new bendable display tech they showed off on the monitor a few videos ago, that would be amazing, because it could go flat while folded

[@scratchpad7954]

The only business laptops have being as thick as gaming laptops is if they can continue to pack in CD drives. They make slimline CD drives now that can more than fit with room to spare in the chassis thickness required of a gaming laptop.

[@vali69]

And if they used hotswap sockets so you could switch out the bad cherry switches they'll definitely put in with something better. And it might also allow for stab modding. You'll end up making a laptop with an amazing keyboard to beat any other out there.

[@mikicerise6250]

@@scratchpad7954 Who needs CD drives anymore? I've never liked gaming laptops. They're expensive, bulky, heavy, loud, run so hot they need external fans blowing on them making them even bulkier, and they wear out fast. They'll never be as good as desktops at running games, and they take away all the advantages of having a laptop. A good laptop for gaming is a streaming laptop. Get one that can stream games from a desktop over good Internet, or from Stadia, and you can actually use it as a convenient, portable computer when you're not gaming. Anyway modern games have a lot of detail to their graphics, and you lose a lot playing them from a laptop screen.

I had to RMA a motherboard to MSI in February 2020 because it blank screened when i went to load the BIOS flasher and then it had just bricked itself. After I shipped it out, I got it back all fixed in a couple weeks. I heard of MSI being complete ass with gaming laptop RMAs though, and I thought that was shit how my board just bricked itself only from loading the BIOS flash utility.

Can we please ask why MSI, a Taiwanese company, is still doing business with Russia? Acer, Asus, TMSC, AMD and a bunch of others have either suspended operations or withdrawn entirely. But MSI is still doing business there. If China ever invades Taiwan, I'm sure MSI is going to care great deal whether the world continues to do business with them. They should show similar support for Ukraine.

[@rossfisher323]

I don't trust MSI. Just sold a MSI Stealth with a 3080, every single time you updated the BIOS, it'd revert to ACHI, which is fine, but it'd also WIPE MY RAID 0 ARRAY. They also pay for reviews, which is unethical.

If it was a apple MacBook pro it might actually have resell value but now it's value is $50-$100 since it's been purchased by a non corporate company ,who can't afford 100k worth of insurance's for every machine in an entire street of office cubicle buildings that will be mostly empty

So true. These gaming laptops draw a shit ton of power, so over time if thermals aren't kept in mind eventually it's going to fry a component. That's why it's so important to run a temperature monitor in the background to prevent cooking the pc.

[@zacherychen484]

Although I'm using a GE72 from 2019 , but to my surprise , it hasn't been broken after all those years.

[@davidkerman1732]

Just bought one of these, what egpu enclosure and card are you using? Great video. Thanks!

[@DctrGizmo]

That thing is a beast! I’d love to own just one 8TB SSD though my 2TB is perfectly fine 😂

[@Neoxon619]

This could be great for having a portable fighting game set-up, especially as fighting games take up more storage & require more power (see the SF6 closed beta). Price notwithstanding, of course.

[@madmax875]

Seems like it's actually well engineered. Shocking!

[@deltacx1059]

would be nice to have a system like a laptop but thicker and able to use standard ATX parts.

[@gam3kid]

I have an MSI GL-75. After a year of progressively high temps, I repaste and the CPU temp idle is 66-80c and the GPU is 54c. Not sure if this is normal but just telling you my experience

[@aneeghaangus3467]

It’s always different and more amusing to watch when Linus is hosting. Not saying others are bad but there’s a difference with Linus

[@mattorare9949]

I was Always A fan of your channel .... and I watch your tech from many accounts on youtube ! but I always wonder ... where all these PC's and laptops coming from ? and what do you do with them when you done ?

[@godbqfightingsaints]

I just got the 4090 16gb version I’m loving it sofar it has 128gb ram also

[@joseperez-ig5yu]

Hey Linus I'm wondering how well those fans and thermal heat pipes actually function?

[@PerfectionHunter]

They work fantastic but you need to repaste it first. I repasted mine with *Noctua NT-H2*. Went from gaming BL3 and CP77, settings on Ultra, with full fan boosters and still fkn burning my fingers! -> to not having to go full boost and still staying cool. I'm blown away by the difference. The paste MSI uses is TOTAL DOGSHIT. Its more like foam-candy than actual thermal paste. My temps are now at 57-59°C with no fan boost and 39-41°C with full boost. I love my MSI now.

[@NakedSpaceMan]

You know what I want to see in a gaming laptop? One that can fold over sorta like a 2 in 1 so you can have the screen closer to you while you game on your 60% keyboard and mouse. Better cooling, the screen is closer for a better experience, and since they usually put the speakers on the bottom better sound too.

[@BasNunnikhoven]

actually, I have 2 m.2 NVME slots in my laptop, plus, 2x 2.5 inch slots, and I could add some 2.5 inch 2x m.2 slot brackets that would give me a total of 4 slow sata m.2 SSD slots and 2 fast m.2 slots... Nice

[@dvxAznxvb]

It’s a bummer they wanted to go thinner for this line of laptop; titan series was supposed to not be physically limited and somewhat ergonomic with it being a good tilt angle but now its so flat that wrists will just hang on the edge and hurt from a few hours; had gs laptops and even that being thin was a problem with desk situations without wristrests

[@ALEXANDER1318]

1) Builds PC building ratchet screwdriver. 2) Still uses iFixit to build PC. 3) ??? 4) Profit.

[@AdamTrout117]

I'm sorry but I've gotta ask. Is that a MOVA Globe? And if so, why is not spinning? I have been thinking of purchasing one, but if they don't really work, please let me know.

[@T_Burd_75]

Last MSI product I bought was a motherboard and it was DOA. So I sent it back and bought a Gigabyte. Been happy ever since. 😎

[@kelrex7740]

When linus make a ball with the cloth that was on the keyboard it had broken my heart

[@petrusx7169]

Oh now I see what the hook in the intro is for: they probably didn't want Linus to drop the box with the laptop inside of it

[@antonyisfat]

obviously

[@TaranovskiAlex]

6 grand... I'll wait for desktop rtx 4090 in the laptop, I think

[@erwinhun]

Love the editing Jóhann 😁

[@An0n-Ym0us]

Hey Linus, why haven't you guys reviewed the Eurocom based laptops they supposedly use Desktop component for their laptop and a Canadian based company. Great job reviewing the MSI laptop :)

[@the_shameless]

I can't be the only one that got VERY nervous when Linus was wobbling the laptop on one hand serving tray style to show off the I/O😂😂😂

[@nabeeliscool6468]

meanwhile my 11 year old laptop getting a heatstroke from just playing the video

[@christhorney]

after my experence with an msi mobo, an msi laptop is honestly the last thing i would every buy. meanwhile my 2013 HP is still going strong the once every couple months i actually need to use it, it comes in handy, espesually when your trying to figure out mobo issues and your pc is down for weeks at a time while you wait for the parts cannon to load

[@KoreyThatcher]

"The number has gotten so big it sounds small again." I thought that exact same thing!

[@FuoFire]

they thought of everything but is that hard to put a 1440p 165+ Hz in it? why the 4k

[@lyn4739]

This might be a beast. Too bad the hinges are gonna break and render it useless in 4 months time tho 🥴

[@IsnuckINSIDE]

I just use my ASUS TUF laptop as a computer and it works great. And i can take it else where as it has a 13 hour battery. It also has a ryzen 7 5700 and a 3060.

[@badslime6453]

When you do laptop vids you should do san ltt backpack test to see if they fit

[@DaeveMc]

MSI big fan here using their components since my first build in 2009 and always recommend then to my friends and use them in every computer I build. Their costumer service has always been good and I wish I could get enough money to get this laptop haha maybe someday I'll build a PC worth over 2k...

[@I_DONT_SUPPORT_TERRORISTS]

Lol this is exactly the opposite of what others are saying here. You gettin’ some green from MSI? 🤑

[@brianm545]

Weird to think in just a few years this thing might be on ebay for like 200 bucks

[@maiden5427]

😂 Nah 10 years

[@JamesPeach]

New???? No way. 15 years and it'll still be at 1k or so.

[@mayuravirus6134]

I love how there is a disclaimer on the bottom left saying Linus personally invested in Framework

[@afgainzfinest]

I can’t wait to see laptops with 4080ti man it’s gonna be so nice

[@360Fov]

It's absolute insane how much power is in that small space. You could fold that over into a small cube the size of a gamecube, yet it's as powerful as 25 PS5's! INSANE

[@stefanmisch5272]

Going from Giga to Tera .... aren't those three orders of magnitude and not just one?

thank you for sharing this with us!!!

Rumor has it when you drop the power brick it creates a wormhole to another dimension.

[@Aero3D]

I had an MSI GS 75 Stealth with i9, 64GB, and 2080 Super. It lasted 8 months before it fried. Sad. It was amazing, but couldnt handle months of serious Unreal Engine dev.

[@gotthiis]

Can I ask what happened? I've got the GE66SFS with a 2070 super, I7-10750H and 32GB.

[@jon9103]

MSI commits fraud. They substitute inferior components that don't meet advertised spec. Last time I bought a laptop from them they specified a high spec NVMe drive but what they actually installed was budget SATA SSD.

[@riconnected]

You call them frauds but this could easily be a mistake. I'm sure it will be fixed if you contact them instead of calling them fraudulent.

[@jon9103]

@@riconnected you think I didn't try that? That's very presumptuous of you.

[@riconnected]

@@jon9103 My personal experience with MSI is insanely good, so I kind of doubt it. I once gave them an issue on the (back then) new z370 boards support hadn't heard of yet. After a week they came with a custom firmware update for the board and fixed my issue. Was very well updated on everything. MSI isn't going to risk their reputation as a company by saving some bucks on your SSD.

[@jon9103]

@@riconnected just because you had a good experience doesn't mean what happened to me isn't true, actually if you look through forums they don't have a very good reputation.
