hi Dave Taylor here and this time I'm
0:12
looking at something really cool this is
0:15
an exotic PC XO t I see no e in the
0:19
front and this is a custom made gamer
0:22
laptop based on MSI technologies this
0:25
goes by the rather unwieldy name of the
0:28
ge62 Apache Pro oo for yeah whatever
0:33
so it's actually really cool it has a
0:37
15.6 inch anti-glare screen it features
0:41
the intel skylake i7 at 3.5 gigahertz
0:45
some pretty darn fast nvidia gtx 960m
0:50
display system nahee make virtual
0:53
surround sound RGB backlit keyboard I'll
0:56
show you the keyboard in second and as
0:59
you can see on this close-up the sides
1:02
are just like drowning in ports there's
1:04
an integrated card reader
1:06
there's USB to USB 3 HDMI mini
1:09
DisplayPort you name it there's a way to
1:12
plug it in and this particular unit that
1:15
they sent me was very nice because it
1:17
comes with a couple of little upgrades
1:19
including 32 gigabytes of RAM 128
1:24
gigabyte high speed SSD and I see let me
1:27
get this right
1:28
I see diamond thermal compound for CPU
1:32
and GPU cooling because as all good
1:36
gamers know it comes with an
1:37
overclocking system this comes with the
1:39
redline boost overclocking system what's
1:42
an overclock an overclock is when you
1:44
actually run the CPU faster than it's
1:47
designed to run now you can do that the
1:50
problem with it is heat so again the
1:52
idea here is that this system includes
1:55
some really nice heat dissipation system
1:59
and a way to overclock it what does this
2:01
get you it get you some rocking
2:03
performance so let me spin it around and
2:06
show you I'm just starting to play a
2:07
little bit of Star Wars Old Republic so
2:10
let me zoom in
2:11
show you a little bit about that well if
2:13
I have to choose my allegiance I think
2:15
I'll go with the dark side pretty sure
2:17
they have more fun now you can hear the
2:25
audio is terrific I have to warn you I
2:28
know nothing about this game so truth be
2:33
told I'm not much of a gamer so you know
2:35
my games tend to be more oriented around
2:37
little pieces moving around boards but
2:40
the thing about a PC gaming laptop is
2:43
it's actually just a really good
2:45
powerful laptop so yeah you get the
2:47
really cool rap on the outside you get
2:50
the really interesting illuminated
2:52
keyboard and everything and the
2:54
overclocking capability but what we
2:56
really get is you really get a powerful
2:58
computer so if you're doing video
3:00
editing like I am if you're doing 3d
3:03
modeling if you're doing any sort of
3:05
production work a gaming laptop can turn
3:07
out to be a really great purchase and
3:09
it's pretty cool looking you know is it
3:12
the lightest slimmest most portable
3:15
device in the world not really that's
3:17
not really what they're aiming for but
3:19
it can sure work really well and it can
3:21
definitely replace a whole lot of older
3:23
and less capable desktops and of course
3:26
then you can take your work home yeah
3:28
let's talk about taking work home just
3:30
kidding so you don't take your work home
3:32
it's also not unreasonably priced the
3:35
base unit here is about a thousand
3:38
dollars and this one as configured with
3:40
more RAM more SSD the thermal compound
3:44
to keep it cooler when you're
3:46
overclocking it and everything this runs
3:48
1725 so 1700 bucks still you take that
3:53
much money into an Apple Store and
3:54
you're not getting a really custom
3:57
graphics super accelerated laptop out of
4:00
that that's not even going to get you
4:01
into the MacBook Pro with a good
4:03
configuration so 1,700 bucks might seem
4:06
like a lot of money for a laptop but
4:07
truth be told this is your main computer
4:10
this isn't going to just be your laptop
4:12
and if you're a gamer of course
4:13
something like this exotic PC from MSI
4:16
really rocks I mean this thing is just
4:19
screaming fast I couldn't give you a
4:21
great demo not a big PC gamer but you
4:24
know
4:24
you can definitely take my word for it
4:26
that if you are a big gamer then all the
4:29
specs that they'll have on their website
4:31
you'll be like yeah I heard about that
4:32
oh that's cool
4:33
yeah that's cool I like that one yeah
4:35
well get the upgrade click ok you get
4:37
the idea anyway so you can learn more
4:41
about this this is again the ge62
4:44
Apache Pro 0:04 it's about 1725 and you
4:49
can find out more about it at exotic
4:52
comm this is Dave Taylor and I can't
4:56
decide whether I want to delve more into
4:58
the Star Wars universe or just wait
5:01
until the movie comes out I'll have to
5:03
figure that out but in any case I will
5:06
catch you in my next video
