their high end laptops are made of the same crappy plastic. and use the same chassis design thought process, they suck, i can not stop telling people about this because of how disappointed i was by my ewaste. i paid 1500 euros for that thing and it was so much worse than anything i got from lenovo. but currently id only buy from asus.

@Arxgxmi Місяць тому
@@user-yx1qk4sk5t im not sure about the titan specifically, I've never been interested in this type of desktop replacement laptop. fuck it maybe I'm wrong right now and they actually changed material on their higher end stuff i sure as hell ain't checking because having to deal with a laptop that's literally falling apart from the hinges being shit and ripping the brittle plastic they used, not fun and they're not ever getting my money again no matter how good their products are, and i didn't even get tricked into buying a lower end product for more than it was worth at that time, that was pretty damn close to buying it straight off of them price wise. just so displeased with the quality of the material at that time, especially the hinges, if the material is bad it's fine. because if it breaks i probably dropped it, but i don't want it falling apart because they couldn't make hinges out of metal. or they were linked up with plastic like they did on the model i got back then

Spoiler, not worth it. This laptop just makes zero sense to me. An 8lb laptop using a year old GPU and costs double the price of a desktop which would dominate it. Also, I know there's a trend to increase screen resolution, but I can't see that making sense for a "gaming" laptop.

So don't buy it. I won't either as I don't think $8K is worth it, but MSI wouldn't keep bother making these if they didn't sell enough of them to make it worthwhile for them.

@greebj Not to mention, bitching about weight is kinda silly for a true desktop replacement. It's not like a person's going to be whipping this out willy-nilly on the subway or something. These wire armed wimps need to hit the weight room if 8lbs is too much.

Hi, awesome test as usual. But I think you should include a power consumption section, like a wallplug measurement in idle, load and perhaps battery charging states. I have 6 (mainly tower) systems for my geek family, and combined consumption is now an issue, may be interested by laptop replacements to cut the costs. (may not rly an issue for this specific 5K$+ laptop user audience).

Just a update as someone who actually owns this laptop and have longer than probably most people. MSI released a update for the track pad and it's finally working correctly. You can now hold and drag for as long as you want. Thank God! Unfortunately, if you do the update. All your bios settings will be lose. You will have to redo undervolt, redo memory 5600 setting, and all that. It's kinda annoying because you have to go thru like 8 different settings for all this but oh well. Now the laptop is flawless except for the atrocious battery life of course!

And also I still insist that 1:1 isn't the right way to convey an infinite or immeasurably high contast.

I haven't used a gaming laptop or monitor without G-Sync / FreeSync in years, I've gotten accustomed to it completely. Since the Titan doesn't have g-sync does that mean it'd be more prone to screen tearing and/or microstutters / etc, especially when there's a major disparity between the refresh rate and FPS? Or is it a non-issue in modern panels?

I wonder why the results are so weak (relatively of course), considering the hardware and the temps it should outperform every other laptop, even the ones with the same specs since the increased tdp and yet it seems that sometimes it gets beaten by last year cpu with less power. I think there must be something wrong with the tuning or the softwer or the drivers in the titan series, maybe that's why the temps are so low (the cpu not going over 90 in a stress test with all that power it's wierd). Maybe the problem is just the ram, 3600 is very slow, other laptops reach 5200\5600 with ddr5 and unless you actually need large amounts of ram for specific tasks the speed of ram is much more important in gaming and application in general (you will never even fill 32 gb in gaming).
@Null-Ghost Місяць тому
I have same laptop To be honest, it has nothing to do with the memory clock The performance difference depends on whether BIOS advanced settings are used such as reducing voltage and turning off CEP / UVP / Core isolation I have tried increasing the clock speed of my 128GB DDR5 to 4600~4000MHz Although it can be turned on However, above 4200Mhz, it will fail the Windows memory check. The only 4000MHz can pass the stability check And the Cinebench results are not much different from 3600/4600MHz DDR5

Hej Jarrod. Would you go for Legion 7i Gen 9 model (slim) or Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 ?
@JarrodsTech Місяць тому
Depends, I do like more portability when travelling, so depends if I actually need the extra performance from the Pro.

@krystiandomagala4929 Місяць тому
@@vmafarah9473 Each chip will be able to take -100mv to core and cache. Tried on many chips before. Easy to do and saves temps and increases performance. E.g. my 77 Titan does -180mv undervolt to core and -165 to caches and I get 37500 in CB23 with 13980HX, well worth showing / teaching people

You can't SEE the backlight brightness change while holding the Fn key? Why is MSI always including such strange decisions?
@wangxiao1982 Місяць тому
Thanks for the detailed as well honest review. My favorite gen is still GT75 from MSI: Gsync, 5 SSD slot, wonderful keyboard, true desktop replacement experience. Don't understand why MSI followed the stupid trend to make laptop lighter and thinner. GT75 better than GT76 than GT77. This Titan 18 is not bad, but for 5k USD, it's a hard pass. Guess I will hold on my GT75 for many more years.

As someone specializing in 3D animation and VFX, I'm contemplating between the MSI GT TITAN and the 16" Apple MacBook Pro with M3 Max. Which one should I go for?

I hope Asus goes for 4 SODIMMs or 2 CAMMs in the next Scar 18. I really want 192GB since I occasionally max out my 96GB in the Scar 18 2023 allready. The port layout on this made it a no-go.
