hey there Internet I'm here to show you a massage brand new update to its GS 63
VR if you remember back in October of 2016 we review the GS 63 VR the big deal
incredibly small laptop full on gtx 1060 performance the new thing though is this
the update to the GS 63 VR is now called the GS 65 VR it is this is a prototype
so it's not quite perfect that's pretty still aluminum shell you'll notice and
Miss Emma sy said you know what we're getting a lot of business people they're
telling their bosses they need more powerful graphics for Excel spreadsheets
and probably playing pub G so they've really gone up scale with this making a
little more suit-and-tie you get black and gold on the edge even around the
edge and there's not the standard red kind of emblazoned in your face off even
down to the keys perky lighting hey have had but what they decided to do with
these new keys as they went with skirts there's so the previous ones they were
wide around the base to give out a little more light these are actually
sealed up to be a little more formal a little more business you don't think
like whoa whoa did I buy my employee a gaming laptop yes they did probably this
one big difference obviously if you know the GS 60 through VR look at the bezel
this is an ear bezel this design that's nice not totally bezel US and so it's a
narrow it's about an inch narrower than the GS 63 VR GS 63 and big deal no
nostril cam I stole that from you cliff yes the camera is up on top cameras and
the mics on top how they fit that which is actually very impressive I know I may
actually look at the video quality on that because it is nice to get the
webcam on top I don't know how many people are doing their webcam shows but
apparently they are but a lot of these laptops they're putting the cameras down
low looks up your no no boy no no bueno not good
look at your hand or your nose so they moved it on top pretty cool of course
big deal inside core i7 six core chip I know there's a core I nine this is not
gonna fit a quarry nine in there because of the thermals but still you're getting
a six core coffee Lake CPU and a laptop that of course is super thin nice what
about the graphics cards graphics card in this particular one you get two
options right now gtx 1060 gtx 1070 yes max q I for some reason nobody's
marketing that way but both those parts are max-q parts I you know as I
understand it they are pretty much full spec and you're getting you know roughly
my testing of max q10 70 1060 parts maybe 10% off a full 1060 1070 max Q
part other changes really big changes especially for the GS secutiry VR I love
that laptop but the battery life wasn't great
the reason MSI put a pretty small battery in it to get all the cooling for
all the hardware at that time they put a 62 watt hour battery that basically
meant you're lucky to get five hours out of that not gaming of course it's
generally used five to six hours this is an 82 watt hour battery so they put a
super large battery in it they say 8 to 11 hours basically all day use and let's
face it you're not really working all day at work anyway does it make it
thicker what's the difference oh it's actually a little lighter interesting
Lea this is a four point one pound laptop the previous GS 63 VR so I keep
calling you that GS 63 was fourteen four point nine six so definitely lighter
what else has changed a little bit of screen touch the screen so nobody not 4k
but I want to touch it the screen is a hundred and forty-four
Hertz oh nice right alright very nice 1080p 144 Hertz with a wide viewing
angle you know what that means non non IPS and VA probably so it looks pretty
good matte finish other changes big battery improve cooling and also they
said hey if you've ever tried to get inside a GS you through VR it ain't fun
this one they said we've improved it yeah it's not you it's not
Big Bertha laptop where you can just open up a tent parts but you can get
inside this one there are two MDOT two slots no hard drive slot I'm okay with
that it's fine as long as you can have a little more storage using two m2s
there are also DDR four sodium's probably a little hard to get to I would
probably not recommend that but they do say that this is a lot more serviceable
a lot more easy to get inside than the previous GS 63 and here's the other
thing 144 Hertz MVA panel g-sync obviously and
this oh no way yeah this is pretty rare to see a laptop
laptop especially that has a full 180 screen this is kind like an
old-fashioned think that in a way I gotta say I like it a lot of people like
what do you need that for but if you're standing over it on a bench if it's low
you kind of want to low point the screen back you know a lot of laptops will go
to about there and that's it and if you're standing high you want a little
more angle you're gonna go all the way here
this again is a prototype I don't want to break it so but near bezel and screen
top camera no nostril cam six core core i7 CPU 16 gigs 256 gigs max Q 1060 1799
if I've got this right 16 gig 256 max q 1070 1999 so 1804 1060
2004 1070 you know it's gonna seem pricey compared to a like really big
thick laptops but when you get to sort of this form factor cramming all these
components in here it's not easy to make there's a lot of stuff a lot more detail
you got to pay to it so not bad oh four ports let's go over this USB looks like
I see a Thunderbolt ports where we get a USB Thunderbolt mini DisplayPort
full-sized HDMI proprietary charger which I'm gonna point out check this out
guess which power brick is more powerful yeah it's a smaller one right you knew I
was gonna say this previous power brick I think is 150 I'm not sure I look it up
but this new one is 180 watts and it's actually smaller than the previous model
that put out less power so they've said hey we we've
heard you you want smaller power bricks so they paid Delta to make a smaller one
let's look at the ports on the other side and I think we're gonna be done to
USB Taipei's USB probably 10 gig a full size Ethernet port and actually msi said
they made it a point they wanted this thing to be a little bit thicker because
they wanted to put a full size Gigabit Ethernet a port on there they don't want
to deal with dongles none of that stuff - this is interesting you still get your
dual analog nice audio nice uh Dynaudio a new gamer mode so it actually sets up
and changes the key profile for when you're playing a game your fire pup G it
actually lights up the keys the way it's supposed to be they've in fact preset
that up killer net 1550 AC 2x2 part and what else I think that's it I gotta say
that's a big upgrade again we're looking smaller faster not cheaper but easier to
service in wolf - the famous GS 63 I love that laptop it was really at the
time a trend-setting laptop this looks like a worthy successor and I like the
design nice you convince your boss yeah I got there is a GPU acceleration in
Excel now I got to do some WebGL oh okay talk to purchasing oh I need a match q
I've heard about that okay fine nice cool we'll check back in when we get a
chance to test it and we will get a review model come back to PC worldcom to
see the formal review let's see if it's all that
