    Wonder if we will see some RTX laptop reviews pop up at midnight, hopefully. Hoping to see the GE75 2080 mostly but interested in all the others!

    @OWNORDISOWN will you be posting a video at midnight on the 2070 you have?

    There might be some popping up sooner since it is already the 29th in some parts of the world. Unless NVIDIA specified a particular time zone in the NDA.

    One of the first gaming laptops with a GeForce RTX 2070 - MSI GE63 Raider RGB 8SF
    Funkykit
    Premiered 37 minutes ago
    Today, we'll be taking a quick look at the MSI GE63 Raider RGB 8SF Gaming Laptop. This laptop is a real BEAST, and is one of the first gaming laptops on the market that features Nvidia's latest GeForce RTX 2070 mobile graphics. In fact, MSI have refreshed their entire range of GE 63 Raider RGB laptops, with Nvidia's GeForce RTX 20 series of mobile graphics.
    The laptop uses Intel's HM 370 chipset and inside, you'll find an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 - 8750H processor, which is 6-core 12 thread 14nm CPU running at a maximum boost speed of 4.1 GHz (default is 2.2 GHz) with a TDP of 45W.

    The 8 SF model which we have right here comes an onboard GeForce RTX™ 2070, with 8GB of GDDR6 ram. There's also 16GB of DDR4-2666 ram included, and the laptop has total of 2 DIMM lots giving you a maximum capacity of 32GB ram. For storage, you'll find a 240GB M.2 SSD boot drive (c: ) and 1TB drive for storage (d: )

    The included screen is 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) resolution, 144Hz IPS panel which looks gorgeous and is great for gaming.

    I hope there will be a P775TM review tomorrow with rtx 2080.
    I am really interested in temps and the used memory type.

    Nice, so Youtube will be hit at 9a Eastern. I am hoping there are some good options with limited thermal throttle or the option to repaste for better performance.

    Only issue with that second video was...testing was done at maximum fan speed. From what I saw we never saw stock thermal solution cooling which is more important.

    I don't think we're all going to be running max fans just to game. :D

    When I changed from my GT80 to GT73, it was the first time my wife noticed I had changed laptops. Mainly because there was no more typing noise. It's true!

    I get the stink eye whenever I use my external. Thinking of investing in one of those silent red keyboards to see if it makes a difference there.

    Considering a new RTX 2080(70) laptop,

    there's not many offers atm in my country (fr) but I was tempted by the

    GS65 at first but it seems too shiny to be honest ^^

    then on the less good looking (better cooling I guess) side there is the GE63 available with the 2080 as well as the Clevo P750 or 751 (difference?) not sure from uk's PCspecialists, those 2 last seem quite on the same level of (not so slick) finish but better cooling,

    how do they compare?

    A GE63 is not at the same level of a P750, that's for sure. A comparison GT63 vs P750 can be considered, that GE63 is a totally different story imho.

    Nope, I mean you are comparing a total BGA Laptop (GE63) with a fully upgradable LGA Desktop Replacement (P750).

    By upgradable you mean cpu/ram/hd wise?
    Independent mxm gpus being kind of jokes for billionaires, ram/hdrive upgrades being avaible on most of the laptops for gamers and upgrading i7 cpus not really bringing much value, I don't really see the real benefit of a custom laptop besides choosing the config and the case independently.

    In theory, CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and WLAN. I'd call the GE series solidly gaming laptops, and the P570 and GT series in the desktop replacement category. Typically they also support more RAM (4 DIMMs instead of 2) more drives, bigger cooling fans and more cooling system mass, and they more frequently have unlocked or less locked BIOS in the case where there's an LGA chip in them.

    I see thanks, to me I think that from say a config with an i7 and 16gb,
    the only important part that should be upgradable is the gpu which is almost never really doable unfortunately:/

    Btw @Support.3@XOTIC PC do you know about reliable clevo suppliers in Eu? I am concerned about the bios stability, part and optimizations.
    What is prema mod partner, isn't it possible to flash a p750 with a mod bios?

    By upgradable I mean CPU, GPU, RAM, HD, WifiCard, LCD Panel

    Do you know that a BGA CPU/GPU configuration is insane in case of fail of a single component (Mobo/cpu/gpu)? A motherboard with a bga cpu+gpu (ex. gtx1070) could cost 1000€, if that part is sold by OEMs. do you think it's a great price?

    Apparently this forum is full of billionaires :D
    check my guide about gpu upgrades and you will see how old AW or Clevo laptops can use pascal cards.
    Successful MXM GPU Upgraded Laptops
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/successful-mxm-gpu-upgraded-laptops.805136/

    Really? So you really don't like to configure your laptop? As I said before a GE63 is not comparable with a P750 or a GT63, If you don't see any difference, that's not a my problem.

    check my guide

    I'm not trying to argue with you @sicily428 dont' get me wrong, I owned a p150em for many years.
    I just think that gaming wise,
    in 2019, you'll rarely be CPU/ram limited compared to the speed GPU evolution unfortunately. I know that if I go for
    P750 with a 2080, when I'll want to upgrade it, to the next gen, if that mxm card even exists, it will cost at least 1k€ and buying a device just
    because it might brake at some point does not really fit my way of thinking.
    Anyway my concern is more about pcspecialists reseller vs prema mod or well optimized/customizable clevo laptop,
    what are the big differences withe a lambda clevo reseller?
    What does prema partner mean? Are there any in EU?
    thanks

    I am so waiting for some Stock vs Repaste thermal throttle comparisons. Thought they, would want these out sooner than later to jump start the buying season but I cannot find any.
