- (grunts) That's not like...
And it's not surprising that it's a real heavy one,
'cause in here we have the XMG ULTRA 17,
which is just...
It's a crazy-powerful laptop.
We're talking i9-10900K,
RTX 2080 Super, and...
Despite this, you know, really boring box,
it's freakin' awesome.
So I guess let's just get right into it.
As you guys might know,
XMG is a German maker of CLEVO notebooks.
CLEVO's...
They make stuff for everyone,
so you can also probably get it from Eluktronics.
I think ORIGIN and MAINGEAR also sell CLEVOs,
and lots of other spots as well.
Wow. That's a lotta packing material in there.
Even...
Oh wow.
Just the power brick is really heavy.
Let's see what we have here.
Oh.
Oh! There's the battery.
Hello.
So I guess that you get...
What is this? 97 watt hours in this thing right here.
That would be pretty impressive.
That's as large as you can put on a plane,
so they don't really have a choice.
But at the same time,
it's gonna last, what, like two, three hours, maybe?
It just doesn't stand a chance. (chuckles)
I think that's the first time I ever had a laptop
that comes without the battery in it like this.
I wonder if it has two batteries. That'd be cool.
Anyway, what it definitely has two of are power bricks.
So here is 280-watt power brick.
And
there's the second one.
If you had any questions that this thing
is just insanely overpowered,
the answer's right here.
We also get a nice, little...
How does this even work?
There we go.
You just slide them in here,
very easily.
And look, you have this nice, portable, very easy,
on-the-go thing that only weighs like probably four pounds.
Yeah. (chuckles)
So what do we have in here?
This is the worst way to do it possible.
What do we have in here?
I wonder if this...(laughs)
Is this just swag because we're YouTubers,
or do you just get this?
So we have a hat.
Should we just go full-XMG for this?
We also have a pair of super cool socks.
I actually think I'm going to steal these.
Not because they're cool. I just like them.
They feel like pretty good socks.
And, oh, good. And we do have the power cords here.
I don't think I'm every going to let MAINGEAR live it down
that they forgot to include a power cord
in their $10,000 desktop.
There are all of those cables and accessories,
but I actually don't remember seeing a power cord in here.
Uh...
Here we go.
This is
very far
from a portable laptop.
Hey, shut up.
This is very far from a portable laptop.
Oh my god.
But it looks pretty cool, if I'm honest.
Just first glances.
Let's install the battery, I guess.
That's probably a good first step.
Oh!
Did it. (laughs)
That was scary.
So here we are. Oh my god.
I know I said it's heavy, but if you didn't know,
it's quite heavy.
So on this side we have...
Looks like a full-size SD card reader. Two Type-A's.
Headphone and microphone ports. Not a combo.
On the back we've got Thunderbolt 3.
Two Mini DisplayPorts. Full-size HDMI.
Full-size Ethernet. And what the heck are these?
I actually genuinely don't know.
And then on this side we have two more Type-C's.
These ones aren't Thunderbolt.
And a full-size USB Type-A,
which apparently has good charging.
Well, let's get into it.
Unbag it.
And, oh.
That's a nice kind of microfiber-y cloth
for a key rest.
Actually, they gave us another microfiber cloth
in the thing that I forgot to mention before,
and a USB drive for some reason.
Anyway.
Oh! Okay, okay, okay.
I was an idiot before.
I figured out what those ports are.
It's power input.
I have never seen a charger input
that looks like this before.
Weird. (laughs)
Well, unsurprisingly,
there's just no chassis flex whatsoever.
This thing is built like a brick.
Yeah.
And tiny bit of screen wobble, but not too bad.
Anyway, let's turn it on. I'm expecting loud.
Wow, that's a lot of RGB on the keyboard. (laughs)
Wow!
(fans whooshing) Yep. It's definitely loud.
And it's in German.
Ah.
LTTStore.com.
Wait a second.
Is this just a weird international keyboard thing,
or is this Caps Lock key upside down?
All right, so let's figure out what exactly we have
for specs on this thing.
So it looks like we have an Intel Core i9-10900K,
so that's a 10-core, 20-thread CPU,
up to 5.3 gigahertz.
We have, holy crap!
We have 128 gigabytes of RAM.
It looks like that we have...
Geez. Holy crap.
So we have three 2-terabyte Samsung 970 Evos,
and a 860 Evo also that's 2 terabytes,
for a total of 8 terabytes of storage.
Sure.
We also, of course, have a WiFi 6 networking card
and an RTX 2080 Super.
So this is way faster than my desktop
by a lot, in every single way.
Actually, I guess I'd have more storage,
but all of that's on hard drives.
Why... (laughs)
Why would you ever need 8 terabytes?
I guess just because you can.
This is that laptop where you go into the configurator
when you're a kid, and you're just like,
"Ha ha ha! How do I make the fastest one?
That's what, 10 grand? Whatever!
Cool! Yay!"
How much does this thing actually cost?
Let's figure it out.
What screen do we have on this?
1080p, but 240 hertz, there we go.
Okay, so it starts at 2,700 euros,
but ours is going to be more than that for sure.
So this is probably my favorite option here.
So you can go for the XMG logo on the screen,
or for 28 more euros you can remove the logo. (laughs)
So all in all, this cost us
5,881 euros
and 87...
Is it cents?
I don't know much about euros.
All right, so in total,
$7,000 of computer in front of us,
which, honestly, given how much storage
and just craziness there is in this,
I was kind of expecting it to be a bit more.
Not that $7,000 is cheap. (laughs)
Anyway, while we wait for "Doom" to install,
let's see, how is the keyboard?
How is this keyboard?
I think that it is just...
Keyboard's good. I would classify it...
I don't know. What would we say, like a...
Solid B territory? Maybe a B-plus?
It's definitely not an A.
It's kind of... (keys rattle)
You can probably hear it a little bit.
It has a bit of a rattly sound to it.
Lots of travel. Slightly mushy.
You might be able to see it if you look in here,
in a couple of spots there's a little bit of deck flex.
Not a lot, but kind of...
Especially right here, you can probably see it.
Trackpad also seems pretty good,
if you're the sort of person that likes having,
you know, two clickety-clickers,
then you'll really like this.
I personally don't care all that much,
but you know, to each their own.
So we're here in "Doom",
and I am expecting it to work very well.
In a huge surprise to literally no one,
this is awesome for gaming.
This is the kind of thing where, like,
if you're having trouble running a game with this computer,
it's kind of just the game's fault.
Like, it has an RTX 2080 Super
and basically just the craziest stuff that you can get
in every single regard, so yeah.
We're getting what? 250 to 280 frames per second.
It's pretty awesome. And the 240 hertz display?
Yeah. It's just great.
Oh frig. I don't have any ammo.
I'm gonna die.
All right. Well, that's enough of that.
No one is surprised at all that this games really well.
But what I'm much more curious about
is what's on the inside.
If you haven't noticed, also,
if you're looking for something that's quiet,
this is not what you go for.
It's really loud. (laughs)
Heck yes.
Anyway, every other part of this video
has basically just been foreplay
for when we take it apart,
'cause I imagine the cooling system in this thing
is absolutely ridiculous,
and I'm excited.
Ah-ha! Whoa!
Huh! That's honestly not what I was expecting at all.
How many heat pipes do we have here?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
I can't tell if we have one big heat pipe going around,
or if it's two.
Oh, this is the LED strip. I see.
So where even is all of our storage? Okay.
So here's our 860.
And then are all of the 970s under this right here?
I think so.
Yeah, and there are all of our 970s.
That right there
is a serious bit of change in M.2s.
So I can see on the top here 64 gigabytes of RAM,
and I'm guessing that on the other side
there's two more SODIMM slots.
I don't actually know, but that's my guess,
and it's probably right.
But what we really want to see is in here.
Ah-ha. Oh!
That screw comes out. They normally don't do that.
Because we've got our MXM 2080 Super
and also our full-blownsies desktop-grade Intel CPU.
Now, you can complain, like,
"Aw, they didn't go AMD. I want Ryzen," whatever.
They do have the other one, the APEX 15,
so that's the one that comes with the 16-core
that we did a full-blown LTT video on.
Actually, I'm not allowed to play with fire
in the office anymore after that intro.
That was a lot of fun though.
I understand why after that they told us
not to play with fire again.
Think I got all the screws.
That was a lot of screws.
Come on. Come on.
Oh!
Damn.
Okay.
If we look here, this is kind of why
I was a bit confused that the heat pipes
weren't quite as large as I was expecting,
and that's because instead they've opted
for just a big ol' vapor chamber
that's attached to the 10 heat pipes up here.
And that's how they cool the GPU.
And then the CPU comes from here.
They have just a big ol' block of aluminum
that all of these four heat pipes go into,
and yeah, it's not surprising that this thing cools well.
Just look at the massive fins that they have here.
Like this.
There's so much copper.
And then everything in here can be upgraded.
So we've got our CPU,
so there's the 10900K,
with some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut on top.
That's a zero-dollar option.
And here is the GPU.
So it's an MXM 2080 Super.
You might be able to upgrade it in the future.
You also probably won't be able to.
But either way,
that is pretty freakin' awesome.
It is kinda too bad that they're only coming out
with these super small 2080s and 2070s now,
in the MXM form factor.
So it's kinda too bad,
given that RTX 3000 or whatever sounds like it's coming
right around the corner.
I don't actually know yet, but you know,
we've all read the rumors.
Kinda wanna make a little gaming PC with this.
Kind of like a, (snaps fingers) what was that?
Was that the Digital Storm Spark
that was the super little guy?
So anyway, this is easily one of the biggest, dumbest,
but also bestest laptops that I've ever seen.
It's just pure, straight-up a desktop
in sort of a laptop-ish form factor.
So I hope you guys liked the video.
Hit like, get subscribed, and
just have a fantastic all day.
I'm gonna go eat some stuff
and it's gonna be great.
