hey what's going on everybody it's eta prime back here again today we're going to be taking a look at a really awesome NUMBER_TOKEN inch gaming laptop from msi this is known as the msi sword NUMBER_TOKEN aNUMBER_TOKEN ud-NUMBER_TOKEN so with this one here we have an eight core NUMBER_TOKEN thread iNUMBER_TOKEN cpu paired up with an rtx NUMBER_TOKEN ti and a NUMBER_TOKEN inch ips NUMBER_TOKEN hertz display and as you can see this thing is an absolute monster i mean it is a huge laptop with that giant screen now this did come pre-installed with windows NUMBER_TOKEN but it can always be upgraded to windows NUMBER_TOKEN and you might actually end up buying one of these and it does have windows NUMBER_TOKEN pre-installed on it because all of the newer ones will and i've had the last couple days to mess around with this thing usually i'm not a big fan of these larger screen laptops personally i'm more into portability but after using this with this gigantic NUMBER_TOKEN inch NUMBER_TOKENhz display it's definitely starting to grow on me now we do have this single zone single color backlit keyboard it does feel pretty good but when it comes to the trackpad i think it's a bit small for the size of this laptop because after all i mean this has a much larger footprint than a NUMBER_TOKEN inch version would have and i think they should have added a little more trackpad here when it comes to i o over here on the left-hand side we have a single usb NUMBER_TOKEN port and a single usb NUMBER_TOKEN port i'm not exactly sure why they're still adding NUMBER_TOKEN here but over here on the right hand side we have gigabit ethernet a full size hdmi port usb type c and this is usb NUMBER_TOKEN so it will do video out another full size usb NUMBER_TOKEN port and our NUMBER_TOKEN millimeter audio jack now before we take a look at the specs and test this thing out i do want to mention that this video is sponsored by micro center now if you're not familiar with micro center and you are a tech enthusiast then you really should be they have real brick and mortar stores that you can walk into and put your hands on the product before you buy it and if you head over to their website right now they have a new section called the platinum collection this is where they have all of their high quality name brand gaming laptops and desktops and i've actually had a chance to test out a few of these items from the platinum collection but as soon as i saw this msi sword with that NUMBER_TOKENhz NUMBER_TOKEN inch display i knew i had to get my hands on it and they were kind enough to send this over for review so if you're interested in checking out the all new micro center platinum collection i will leave a few links in the description so when it comes to the specs of this rig for the cpu we have that tiger lake iNUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN h eight cores NUMBER_TOKEN threads base clock of NUMBER_TOKEN gigahertz with the turbo up to NUMBER_TOKEN the gpu is an nvidia rtx NUMBER_TOKEN ti and with that we get NUMBER_TOKEN gigabytes of gddrNUMBER_TOKEN vram NUMBER_TOKEN gigabytes of ddrNUMBER_TOKEN running at NUMBER_TOKEN megahertz a NUMBER_TOKEN gigabyte
