we got in the box Gordon hey Adam this is the updated version of MSI's cs65
you've seen this before so not too many surprises we're gonna do an unboxing as
people like to see it come out of the box some reason but stick around click
to the end if you want to see a couple quick benchmarks I'm gonna go over the
specs right now though this is one of our favorite laptops because it's
amazingly like GS 65 previous version walked away this one to see if it still
lives up to the previous one as you can see plastic is sealed
let's go respects 1080p big news in till 1997 50 H that's 6 cores hyper started
and invidious new geforce 1660 Ti both of which were announced last week nice
what's amazing though with GS 65 is msi gets it down to about 4 pounds it's thin
and light and powerful in light powerful and we saw the msi or the the GS 75
earlier this year right the r-tx part gio 75 of course is a 15-inch laptop the
Seventeen's a 17 inch laptop this is a 15-inch thanks for catching me on before
people get aggro uh-oh the one thing that still bugs me is the this wide
trackpad it's pretty big a little offset to the right as well but look check it
out he's just gonna weigh 4 pounds let's see 4 pounds six point seven ounces
interesting I don't know if it's just the little plastic covering my guess is
they beefed up something inside 82 on our battery 19 by 10 144 Hertz panel and
that I 790 750 H is 2.6 gigahertz base 4.5 gigahertz boost basically you're
looking at about a 10% increasing clock over eighth guns same
amount of core so nothing really big they're a 16-6 TTI out of this
particular version 512 gig nvme drive 16 gigs of ram and dual channel mode price
$1,700 basically 4 pounds 6 ounces slightly
heavier like this did the last time do that oh yeah yeah did all the way and
also what they have done because one of the things that Geist 65 people got
really concerned about they did beefed it up I'm going to show you right here
then hold it by the corner it's not gonna bend the original the original
first productions of these units pretty flexi little scary
they have beefed it up I'm guessing maybe some of the weight is also
reinforcing it but here is the dilemma Acer predator Triton 500 great laptop as
you can see very similar in size a little bit bigger a little bit heavier
512 gig SSD 16 gigs of ram 87 58 so you know slightly lower clocks on the cpu
but r-tx 2064 $1,800 MSI GS 65 GeForce GTX 16 60 TI $100 less same storage same
Ram slightly faster CPU so really comes down to 16 60 TI vs. 20 60 we're gonna
run a couple quick numbers come back but you know what it is
stay tuned alright Gordon what's your what's your quick takeaway on these well
first Adam this is not a review this is not a review this is not a review this
is a quick unbox first benchmarks just to get our feel for what these laptops
can do full benchmarks battering down tasks gaming tests other stuff gonna
come later but you want to know how it performs now ninth Gen Intel CPU core i7
9750 H versus a core i7 8750 H and gtx 1660 TI vs our chips 2060
you can see the result in Cinebench these are screen
shots of the results from these laptops about what I expected
we're not looking at a huge increase you don't get more cause you're getting
basically a little more clocks about 10 percent 10 percent on multi-core maybe
seven percent on simple theater performance between the 97 58 and 8750 H
remember laptops mat or two but these are very similar in weight in size so
you know kind of a decent uptick knife Jen yeah you know looking like decent
performance increased quinine different story you're also getting Wi-Fi six but
you want it on by the graphics card 16 60 TI mm-hm what was the result on this
guy oh this one let's check it out sorry let's let's go back result also screen
shot this is 8750 H 1097 174 again same you know you're looking pretty standard
pretty standard maybe 10% bump from that 97 50 H okay over the 87 58 just score
I've seen a lot of 80s and 50 H laptops so very good performance slightly better
performance out of ninth gen part okay all right graphics first up dx12 test
time spy you can see left gtx 660ti not bad for a decent score on the right we
have an RT X 2060 in the Acer predator tradin 500 huh and you're looking at
maybe five percent difference in this dicks 12 tests you know not a huge
difference I would expect yeah I mean that's probably very similar to what
we're getting our desktop parts also fire strike on the Left twelve six nine
eight I am on the RT x 2060 you know again a little bit faster not a huge
amount between our TX and the 1660 TI so alright in that side right and the
probably the one of course the one thing you'd want to see is ray tracing
performance that just 65 actually is enabled now for ray tracing performance
in Port Royal I just ran it look at you got numbers it's not the orders I got
numbers its 1070 versus 29 47 on the Arctic's 2060 yeah
no kidding hardware acceleration but a hundred percent faster so hey what do
you say yeah hundred percent difference yeah my
calculator right Oh 1,800 1,700 slightly faster CPU on yeah
sixty-five slightly faster conventional gaming in the predator Titan 500 but
much better performance in Richter's titles slightly heavier slightly lighter
so very interesting you know again we're gonna do battery rundown test we're
gonna look at some other things to see which is better one thing I did not test
that the Triton in turbo mode which gives it mostly a GPU buff about 10
percent performance bump in GPU performance doesn't seem to affect the
CPU that much so you know overall very nice you know it's a little got a little
heavier that that 6 ounces of weight I'm not sure what that's coming from in the
GS 65 but pretty nice laptop I mean 4 pounds 6 ounces that is a lot of laptop
for 1,700 bucks yeah I like it so you'll do your uh your full review yes we're
gonna get to both of these this one does have Wi-Fi 6 I've got to mention that
because otherwise people here to go oh 19 gets you Wi-Fi 6 yes it does yes it
does nice alright cool thanks Gordon check it out later
