it's not "hands off center while you're trying to type" YOU MORONS. anyone that works with a computer knows the value of num pad. typing numbers is way faster when using num pad. also, in games like "war thunder" for ex, where talking is done by using numbers( press 3 and then 4 and you say "thank you") , it's easier to type those numbers with my right hand, as my left is driving the tank. imagine what a mess would be to talk with no num pab. my hands would stumble one another on a small keyboard... who ever is behind this conspiracy of taking down num pads must be shot, and i bet it's some indian or pakistani, that thinks he is so smart, and in his head he "improves" things..

[@ZodiacBlack11]

I had mine since it came out two weeks before Nvidia's GTX 3000 series, it is still in peak condition, although Linus was right about the CPU throttling. The CPU cooling fan already wore its bearings down a little since just 6 months of use, but it seems to remain operational even if it sounds like a hummingbird. Technically it still runs like a jet engine without the bearings being worn down with cooler boost, but I just don't recommend using it anyways, that's how I ended up wearing the bearings in the first place. You can customize the fan speeds through the pre-installed dragon center 2, which is quite essential for easy OC. I recommend buying replacement CPU fans with the first purchase for new users just in case you plan on doing high CPU intensive activities. I also got a cooling fan to go underneath the laptop, which further helps keep the CPU fan at bay. Since there are no air intakes at the front of this laptop, it's sort of useless to get extra cooling fans that cover the entire bottom. My suggestion would be to get two high power cooling fans and replace some stock ones in a cooling stand. Another way to increase airflow would be out the back, which I found to pump out most of the heat.

[@bobthecar]

TY I JUST GOT THE GS9 FOR 1000 CANADIAN

[@ZodiacBlack11]

@bobthecar Personal recommendations: a laptop fan from amazon, specifically IETS for like $50. It uses a single massive fan that can hit 5000 rpm, so it basically does cooler boost for you. Buy multiple stock gs65 replacement fans ahead of time, it's guaranteed to wear out every 2 years coming from personal experience. You 100% DO NOT want to cover the keyboard when doing intense clocking. I learned that even though the airflow is max out the back, the actual thermal venting by both air and conduction happens at the keyboards. You can feel the air from the spaces between the keyboards as well. I found this out the hard way just the other day when I decided to use a silicone keyboard spill protector over the keyboard while gaming, and it blue screened on me from overheating. I also recommend buying battery replacements every 5 years or so because it will naturally expand. Bonus, you can fit a couple 1tb samsung nvme in there with a 1mm icepc ssd heatsink, with just a touch of pressure. There shouldnt be any problems with this since it comes with rubber bands and that's really what's making the chasis bulk up a tiny bit. By now, the performance still haven't changed, which is probably the answer you're looking for. I also recommend replacing stock cpu thermal paste with a high performance one from the market. This should be a 1 time installation (unless you gotta change those fans), so whenever you do it, it wouldn't hurt to clean the motherboard as well.

[@mayamagick]

I know this video is 5 years old, but youtube just fed me it in it's algorythm. Just want to say I have this laptop since 2019, and it really has been a great laptop all these years. It's really survived. During 2020 I gamed apex on it for 8+ hours a day during quarantine, in 100 degree temps during a heat wave with just a little fan blowing on it to cool it down. I spilled a whole glass of water on it and it survived. Still playing apex with little issues and now diablo.

I got a GS70 when it was the thinnest gaming notebook. Unfortunately, MSi doesn't really respond to customer service inquiries for their most expensive product at that time, and they block you on social media when you can't get someone by the more official means.

[@fredxu99]

I'm no sure if people in the comments realize what previous gen's prices were. The GL502 or the GS63 or the Alienware 15 R3 look more affordable now, but back when they initially released, the pricing was ~$1500-$2000 with worse equivalents than what's presented here. I'd argue MSI did a pretty good job for shooting first, the package IS attractive compared to what the industry has offered previously on a specs to pricepoint comparison.

Right after I got it, I couldn’t get the webcam to work. I called them and they didn’t even ask for the registration or my information. It was just some guy that answered with “MSI, can I help you?” I told him the issue and he told me, “Press FN+F5”. The support was that quick and easy. It was quicker then the time it took to type out this comment. It’s the first computer that I have had no regrets purchasing (other then having to use an external optical drive). I’ve had it about 6 months with no issues and it’s still not outdated.

I have this laptops grandfather(at least 2 chassis models ago with 6th gen cpu and a 970m) overall it has been a pretty good laptop but the battery and power brick size leave a bit to be desired. One thing to note is that using it on your lap will produce a heat that is hotter than the surface of the sun. Basically if you want to use it as some form of desktop replacement for intensive loads, get a cooling pad and plug it into a monitor and it should do pretty good. As far as taking it to class and whatnot it does fine as well. I would for sure buy again

i have one and love it. My only complaint so far not mentioned here is the placement of the power plug in. Its to the top right and near where i use my mouse. Probably didn't need it but moving off of Macs i had to have something proficient and cute.. LOL

Please make a video of asus zephyrus M and gigabyte aero 15x v8 please

[@nikolasapple2100]

Sultan Ahmad You're right! Pls do it, Linus

[@mystirboy]

I'd really love if they include a dB meter reading when it's on maximum load/stress test.

No numpad on a 15.6 inch laptop is a no go for me.

[@cabanis]

Agreed. This looks to be the first MSI GS6* series laptop without the numpad. I wonder why they dropped it.

[@osmatthebat117]

Because it’s on a 14.1” body

[@Artur.Baranov]

macbook doesn't have a numpad like since forever..

[@sling__sh0t909]

I'm the same way but i think imma just get a number pad attachment for it

[@namedrop_6092]

Raman numpad isn’t necessary 😂

Thermal throttling after thermal paste drying

Looks like a lambo.

[@RichardsWorld]

That Cinebench score is quite a bit lower than what people where getting on the Gigabyte laptops with the same CPU.

[@flare78x31]

Kicks the new MacBook pros ass for less than half the price

[@tarnveertakhtar684]

I have a GS63 VR (last gen) the cpu throttiling can easily be fixed. The cpu is just overvolted I reduced the voltage by .110 volts and my temps lowered and yhe 7700HQ turboclocked to about 3.4 ghz (just search up how much you should undervolt your cpu preferrebly for your laptop). Just saying this so the cpu tems dont turn anyone down for the amazing gs63 and gs65 laptops :)

[@vitezhrabri4054]

Linus can you make video about low $ gaming pc_s do to the rize of price because of gpu miners , like something that can run overwatch/fortnite in 50-60 fps low 1080p

[@ereniko6114]

vitez simunkovic A 7770 should do the job with a decent phenom x6/x4

[@vitezhrabri4054]

Sapphire Destiny na na na 100% will make a lot of $ for it because other people that are not subed will watch it because everyone is looking for a low end good pc this days

[@vitezhrabri4054]

SubaruImpreza i know but i dont understand what works whit what and in my countury people are dum and selling ddr4 for 5$ and seling gpu for half the price IN 2017

[@Slade-6]

Still salty about that video huh, fun fact! Those GPUs were trash and if you buy trash you should be ashamed.

[@jakegarrett8109]

The $100 G2200 will actually beat your requirement. Pair that with a $55-$60 B350, and you're good to go. If you're just wanting some bling of a nicer cooler, a $10 one will be more than enough to get your max clocks. I think it was $400 in total for a good build with the G2200, but if you don't need 16gb of ram, that really cuts down the cost even lower.

Please start uploading in 4K again.

[@datta4476]

Hey Linus, I bought this ~ week/ week half ago on Amazon and I see there's 2 dead pixels already... Does this mean this will increase further? Show I give it back/ get an exchange? Thanks for the help!

[@contorta960]

At the price it is hope you returned/ replaced! Mines been fine but pretty let down with the overall display brightness 😕😕... I was upgrading from a 2012 macbook pro so I foolishly assumed being 6 years ahead I didn't have to worry about screen brightness. Other than that it's a beast. Just need to repaste the CPU to get the temps down to 80- 85 underload instead of 93!

[@toejullar]

Thank god MSI did something about the style and looks. That thing looks dope now

[@kurgo_]

2000$ for basically a 1060? I mean...no.

[@soheilf2008]

Kurgo it was 1070 tho... max Q

[@MultiDeivas]

I think it is actually 1060...

[@AimanHilmiAHJ]

no that is at $1800

[@MultiDeivas]

Aiman Hilmi welp... still going to cost more than 2000$ in most places, especially Europe.

I have a GS73VR that has overall been quite good. You should review their larger screen one too when they refresh it.

[@a55tech]

No thermal / throttling testing... this is not a serious reviewer.

[@Esgrth]

Look at how far laptops have come.

[@TheJman5520]

Iv owned this laptop since release, it is a piece of trash, the build quality is horrible, after 3 years of use the heat has caused it to curve to the point of of not being able to close the lid fully. The battery swelled to the point the touch pad delaminated its self after 2 years of mild usage. It is now a battery less, touchpad less compact desktop with yeah a good screen. I should have bought a more durable workstation like the ThinkPad P series or dell precision, or just built a damn desktop. Thinness isn't worth it.

[@fitah47]

i was thinking about buying it, so according to your experience should i buy it

[@TheJman5520]

@@fitah47 lol no. Build a desktop if your priorities are power and gaming and you don’t absolutely need portability. If you absolutely need portability ask your self why. If you still absolutely need portability ask you self do you really need the performance. After all that of you really need both than look into professional performance laptops like the MacBooks with apple silicon or dell xps, or Lenovo stuff is decent. If you need both than I think your best option is both; a powerful desktop paired and a ultra portable laptop can be had for less than most gaming laptops worth owning.

[@fitah47]

@@TheJman5520 i have a prebuilt workstation which even if i upgrade the desktop i wont get a powerful graphics card.. and for where im from, importing desktop parts to build is quite expensive..so i was thinking to buy a powerful laptop which i can use as a desktop and connect to a monitor but also portability when i use it in public....so what laptop do you recommend if u dont mind

[@TheJman5520]

@@fitah47 if you can afford it and like Mac, the M1, M1 max/pro chips offer insane power > battery ratio than can’t be over looked. But for windows stuff I’d recommend older Alienware (r3 gen) if you can get a good deal. Lenovo makes some great gear and I’d highly recommend the legion series (this is what I wish I bought instead of the msi) for new stuff I’d stick to the same brands and try to get something with an amd cpu.
